Chapter 1

Ever since I got pregnant, Severin had gotten into the habit of talking to my belly the moment he came home.He would gently stroke my belly, feeling our baby move beneath his hand."You're my most precious baby, but your mom is the woman I love most."So stay put in there and be good. Don't give her a hard time."Out of habit, his eyes went straight to my belly when he came home that day.But there was nothing there.He stared at me, stunned."Flora, what happened to your belly? Why is it so flat?""Did you have a hard time without me?"Severin spoke quickly, as if he were afraid I'd cut him off."I'll go make you something to eat. It's okay, I'm home now. You'll get your strength back soon."When he finally fell silent, I met his eyes and said, "The baby's gone, Severin."He stared at me until his eyes reddened. Then he looked away, shaken."It's okay. We'll have another baby.""If it's a girl, I'll keep her close. Whoever she marries will become part of our family, and she'll live

Chapter 2

Vivian started out as an ordinary maid on the Voss estate.She was young and pretty, but she worked harder than anyone.No matter what our butler, Bernard, assigned her, she finished the job quickly. She even took on every filthy, exhausting task the others avoided just to earn extra money.One day, she collapsed from exhaustion while working and knocked over a vase in the hallway.Severin thought she was clumsy and wanted to fire her on the spot.Vivian knelt before us, tears streaming down her face but a stubborn look still in her eyes, and begged us to let her stay.She said she'd do any job, and she'd never make a mistake like that again.All she needed was one chance.Severin didn't budge, but I felt sorry for her.It wasn't easy for a young woman to make her way in the world alone.Besides, there was so much life in her eyes.She reminded me of myself back when I was fighting so hard to be good enough for Severin.I took Severin's hand and gave it a playful squeeze."Why don't w

After that, Severin's attitude toward Vivian changed completely.We never made her work again.We treated her like a real daughter of the Voss family.But Vivian couldn't sit still.She still helped out in the garden, picking fresh flowers every morning and arranging them in a vase beside our bed.She insisted it was the least she could do to repay our kindness. Otherwise, she'd feel guilty accepting everything we'd given her.Back then, I just thought I'd been right about her.Then one day, my phone died, and I borrowed Severin's to look something up.His search history looked clean, but his browsing history was full of pages that had no business being there.How to grow double-petaled roses.Choosing plant food for cut flowers.The Best Flowers to Give a Woman.I opened Photos and found a hidden, password-protected album.The password was the same as always. My birthday.His album was filled with photos of flowers, none of which had anything to do with me.Now and then, two hands a

The Voss family needed an heir, but Severin didn't like children.Since he was young and healthy, we'd agreed to wait a while before having children.I never imagined the baby would come just as our marriage was falling apart.Back then, the pain and fury of his betrayal overwhelmed me. All I could think about was revenge.So I made a decision that hurt him and hurt me even more.I told Severin he had to choose between the baby and Vivian.He claimed he had business to attend to and stayed away all day.When he came home, he looked the same as always.The dark circles under his eyes and the cigarette smoke clinging to his clothes were the only signs he'd had a rough night.He greeted me with his usual smile, giving nothing away."I'll hold this family together. Trust me."Right in front of me, he banished Vivian from the estate and forbade her from ever setting foot on Voss territory again. He even ordered everyone never to mention her name.Everything seemed to return to normal, as

Chapter 5

After that day, Severin never mentioned the baby again, and nobody on the Voss estate dared to either.No one was allowed to mention my baby or even the fact that I'd been pregnant.Severin tore up every recipe, and Bernard dismantled the carefully decorated nursery overnight.The empty room became a painful reminder of what we'd lost.Severin handled every part of my recovery himself.Even the family doctor remarked that Severin might be the most gifted caregiver ever to hold the title of Don.But the doctor didn't know the half of it.Apparently, Severin was also the most talented cook and florist among all the Dons.Once I'd recovered, Severin tried even harder to care for me.He rarely left the estate except on essential business, staying close to me as though I might disappear the moment he looked away.This time, though, I was the one making excuses to leave the estate every day.I had a lot to do.I had to meet with a lawyer about the divorce settlement and convince my parents t

Chapter 6

When Vivian appeared before me, my pulse jumped despite myself.She looked haggard, her once carefully styled hair now dry and brittle.I remembered how she had once knelt before me and begged for the chance to stay.Back then, I never could have imagined she'd use my kindness to destroy my life.When I took her under my wing, I taught her everything I could and treated her like a younger sister.I gave her the finest clothes and comforts and made her my trusted attendant, a position that earned her everyone's respect.I'd even thought about welcoming her into the family as a sister to Severin and me.With our family name behind her, she could marry into a prominent family and become a respected society wife.The more I remembered how well I'd treated her, the more I hated her.I hated her for betraying me, for carrying on with Severin, for destroying my happiness.I hated myself too.I hated myself for taking pity on her, for keeping her close, and most of all for having the Voss cres

Chapter 7

I sent men to warn the people living near Vivian to keep an eye on her and make sure she didn't leave the neighborhood.Once I'd taken care of that, I went back to the estate.The living room was dark.Severin sat silently on the couch, lost in thought. He only seemed to snap out of it when I walked in."Honey, you're home."When we were first married, Severin loved calling me "honey" whenever we were alone. He would murmur it as he wrapped an arm around my waist and kissed me.But after Vivian took a bullet for him, he hardly ever called me that anymore.Usually, he just used my name.I didn't answer, and Severin got more and more anxious.He leaned closer and took my hand. Then he pressed it to his cheek and nuzzled my palm in a silent plea."Honey, why won't you talk to me?"Don't you love me anymore? I can't live without you. Give me one more chance, okay?"His face was burning hot. He must have had a fever.Before, no matter how bad a fight we'd had, the moment he got hurt or s

Chapter 8

While Severin was in the hospital, I went to see him a few times.Every time I came, his face lit up.He probably thought it meant I was softening.On the day of his discharge, I walked into his hospital room and found it filled with roses.Severin was in a suit, down on one knee in the middle of the room, holding a ridiculously extravagant diamond ring.It was even more dazzling than the wedding ring on my hand."Flora, I know I've done so many things to hurt you. I broke your heart."But when I took that knife for you, I finally realized I can't live without you. I'd rather die than see you get hurt again."Will you give me another chance and marry me again?"I swear I'll never betray you again. You'll always be the Donna of the Voss family. ""I'll do everything I can to protect our next baby. I'll never let anything hurt them again!"He was so worked up that a sickly flush crept into his pale face.Severin's eyes were full of hope.But I just took a step back and said flatly, "I h

Chapter 9

As everyone scrambled to get Severin to the ER, the noise and chaos pulled me back to the day I miscarried.That day, the staff on the estate had crowded around me just as frantically, calling "Donna" over and over, afraid I'd pass out.When I got to the hospital, I begged the doctor again and again to save my baby.That baby had been my only hope.For that baby, I'd been willing to forgive Severin and piece our broken family back together.I'd dreamed countless times of holding and kissing my baby.I'd planned everything for them long before they were born.But in the end, I lost them anyway.When I first learned I'd lost my baby, I even thought about ending my own life.But I quickly pushed that thought aside.I couldn't let my baby die for nothing.Vivian and Severin. Neither of them deserved to get away with it.Severin refused to be taken away. He pushed everyone aside and clung to my hand."Flora, don't go. Please don't go."I know I was wrong. Please don't say that. I'll change

Chapter 10

Shortly before I moved out of the Voss estate, I went to see Vivian in the dungeon.Her eyes were empty, devoid of emotion. When she saw me, she barely managed a smile."Here to gloat?"I shook my head."Don't flatter yourself."I just want to ask you something. Why did you kill my baby?"Vivian's mouth twisted."If your baby had been born, Severin would have abandoned me for sure."I grew up an orphan, moving from place to place. I couldn't afford to go to school, and finding a decent job was nearly impossible."Being a maid on the Voss estate was the most respectable job I could get back then. If I got kicked out, I really would have starved."You were the one who let me stay, and I was grateful."I replied coldly, "And you repaid me by stealing my husband and killing my baby?"Tears ran from the corners of Vivian's eyes."I didn't want to either. But I really did fall in love with Severin."He let me stay by your side. He gave me a chance at a decent life."I took a bullet for him,
