Chapter 1

Hugo Clarkson brought over a plate of cut fruit and casually popped a peeled grape into my mouth. It was so sour that my eyes watered.I locked my phone and sat up straight."What made you want to start running at night all of a sudden?""Our baby will be here in two months. I need to get in shape beforehand," he replied. "Once you've given birth, your only job will be to rest and recover. I'll handle all the nighttime feedings, diaper changes, and everything else."His answers came quickly and naturally, as though he'd rehearsed them countless times. There was even a hint of anticipation in his eyes, as if he were waiting for me to be moved by his words.My throat tightened. "Can't you stay home instead?" I asked softly, testing the waters. His smile froze. He set down the fruit plate, avoiding my scrutinizing gaze as he rubbed the back of his neck."I… I really want to stay home with you, too," he said. "But you know Mr. Clinton. His last physical showed some abnormal resul

A dull ache started throbbing in my chest. Hugo always loved to rest his head against my belly and take a deep breath, telling me I had a sweet, milky scent, like a baby. He'd even bring out storybooks every night and insist on reading them with me for our baby's prenatal education.The further I scrolled, the more vile the posts became. My fingers trembled so badly that I could barely hold my phone. "You can curse me all you want, but my girlfriend's innocent," the original poster said. "She's sweet and kindhearted. She's even agreed to break things off with me once the baby is born. She promised she wouldn't cling to me or cause trouble."The post also included a video.A young woman with her hair tied in a high ponytail sat in a cozy restaurant, twirling pasta around her fork with a smile that revealed a pair of faint dimples. Back when I'd just started working, I'd once been treated unfairly and come home in tears. Without a second thought, Hugo skipped an important me

My fingers tightened around my phone until my knuckles turned white. A dull ache had even begun to spread through my lower abdomen.The baby had been conceived naturally.Hugo had even invited both our families to celebrate at a resort hotel.Ever since I got pregnant, he'd been taking increasingly meticulous care of me. I'd thought he was just as excited as I was to welcome our baby into the world. Now, I realized it was nothing more than the effect of guilt eating away at him after he'd cheated.I lay on my side, tears streaming down my face as I rested a hand on my swollen belly. For the first time in my life, I had no idea what to do."What am I supposed to do?"I felt so desperate that I even thought that as long as they hadn't gone all the way yet, I could…But the next update to the post snuffed out the last flicker of hope I had left. "Yeah, I admit this isn't fair to my wife. But pregnancy lasts for months. What normal man could possibly go that long without sex?"

I gripped the bathroom handrail and slowly pulled myself to my feet.The cold metal beneath my fingers reminded me that Hugo had installed the rail himself. He'd said that with my growing belly, walking was getting harder, and the bathroom floor could be slippery. Holding on to the rail would help keep me from falling.He'd even said we'd still need it when we were old and gray, when our legs weren't as strong as they used to be.How ironic. I clenched my fists and slammed them against the metal rail again and again. The skin across my knuckles split, and blood began to seep from the wounds, yet the physical pain did nothing to ease the dull ache in my chest.The door lock clicked as Hugo rushed inside after hearing the commotion. "Selena, what happened?" he cried, panic evident in his voice. "Did you slip? Are you hurt?"When he saw me standing there unharmed, he let out a sigh of relief, but then he noticed the blood on my fingers. As he reached for my hand to examine the

"Oh, right. I just remembered Mr. Clinton has piled a ton of work on me," Hugo added. "He'd definitely have a problem with me taking time off at the last minute."He paused. "Or we could go to Grandview Park," he suggested. "I know how much you fancy those spacious apartments with ocean views.""Last night, you said you'd do anything I asked," I cut him off, a mocking smile tugging at my lips. "Hugo, you're not keeping a mistress at Northdale Heights, are you? I'm just going to look at houses, not interrogate you. Why are you so nervous?"Realizing he'd let his anxiety show, Hugo gave an awkward laugh and could only keep driving in silence. He kept looking for opportunities to text on his phone throughout the entire drive. His anxiety was impossible to miss.When we arrived, I pulled him straight into the sales office.Regina was arranging the architectural models when she looked up. Her gaze lingered on Hugo for a moment, and a blush crept across her cheeks.Hugo, however, w

Hugo instinctively started to go after Regina, but after only two steps, he suddenly remembered that I was still there. He paused, turning back to look at me. "Why did you stop?" I asked, with a smile that didn't reach my eyes. "Didn't you say you don't remember who she is? Why are you so concerned about her?"His expression shifted several times, revealing a mix of panic, anger, and even a hint of resentment. What did he resent me for?For being seven months pregnant and refusing to stay home, insisting on coming here to make things difficult for his little darling?For somehow picking the exact apartment Regina wanted out of all the available units? Or for refusing to keep playing the clueless, self-pitying wife who turned a blind eye to everything?"Selena, you know everything, don't you?" Hugo snarled, unable to contain his anger any longer as he slammed his fist against the wall. "You came here today on purpose to humiliate me, didn't you? You think it's fun to make a fo

What a pity that true love didn't last forever. "There, Selena. Happy now? I even paid for the house in full," Hugo said. "From now on, stop overthinking things and getting worked up over nothing. You're so far along in your pregnancy that if anything happens to the baby, I don't even want to think about the consequences."He placed the keys in my hand and stroked my swollen belly, the genuine concern in his eyes unmistakable. Of course I was happy. Regina had gone to great lengths to hook up with a wealthy man like Hugo. She'd been this close to owning Unit 1604, only for everything to fall apart at the last moment. When Hugo swiped his card just now, she'd been hiding in a corner, her expression dark. She must've been livid. As her friend, I ought to show her some concern. I pulled out my phone and opened my chat with Regina. "Regina, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Why did you suddenly run off? Do you want me to take you to the hospital? Hugo is free right now,

"Selena!" Dr. Fitzroy, my obstetrician, greeted me warmly. "Why are you here alone today? Where's Hugo? He's always been so concerned about you and the baby. Now that you're so far along, I hardly expected him to stop showing up!"It was true that Hugo hadn't missed a single prenatal appointment since we found out I was pregnant.Every time we came in, he'd bring Dr. Fitzroy a basket of fruit or order her an elaborate takeaway meal from an upscale restaurant. He said hospitals were stressful places, and that if the doctors were in a good mood, they'd be more likely to treat me gently, too. Over time, Dr. Fitzroy had grown quite close to us. She'd even secretly let me know that I was carrying a girl I'd been dreaming of for so long.Leaning back in my chair, I closed my eyes."Dr. Fitzroy, I'm not here for a prenatal checkup," I finally said, my voice heavy with emotion. "I'm here to ask about terminating my pregnancy.""What did you say?"Dr. Fitzroy exclaimed so loudly that se

Chapter 9

I remained silent for a long time. Eventually, I braced myself against the chair and got to my feet. Before leaving, I begged Dr. Fitzroy not to tell Hugo that I'd asked about terminating the pregnancy.There was still so much I needed to do. On the way home, I compiled all the screenshots of Hugo's post into a file. My lawyer had told me that as long as we could verify the account belonged to Hugo through his real-name information, the evidence of his infidelity could entitle me to at least 65% of the marital assets in the divorce. Any videos clearly showing his face would make my case even stronger.The properties Hugo had put in my name would also need to be reviewed to establish which assets I could keep.As for the baby, a high-end private hospital would find a way to terminate the pregnancy as long as I was willing to pay. I wasn't a saint. I couldn't spend the rest of my life raising the child of a man who'd betrayed me, pretending to be happy and harboring no regrets

Chapter 10

Hugo pecked Regina's lips, ruffled her hair, and tried to appease her."At first, I was worried she might've done it on purpose today," he said. "But knowing her personality, if she'd found out I was seeing someone else, she would've given me hell by now. There's no way she'd act like nothing was wrong and happily have dinner with me.""That's true," Regina muttered under her breath. "A wife who genuinely loves her husband would never be able to swallow something like that. It must've been a coincidence."Hugo frowned, and for a moment, he looked unsettled. But as Regina's soft hands roamed over his body, his expression relaxed. He swept her into his arms and carried her into the hotel. After all, I was still carrying his child. Perhaps he thought that meant I wouldn't turn his life upside down. I watched them leave, my expression impassive. Once I finished recording the video, I sent it to my lawyer. Then I turned the car around and went home to sleep. If I went through wit
