The voice from the speakers echoed throughout the wedding hall.Adrian Whitmore slowly clenched the hand hanging at his side, his knuckles turning almost white.The moment he heard the words “had an abortion”, the world seemed to spin around him, as though someone had struck him over the head.He stared at the speaker, the voice had come from, his vision suddenly darkening.When had Evelyn gotten pregnant? Why had she never told him?His eyes abruptly reddened.Memories surged uncontrollably through his mind. Not long ago, he had shielded Vanessa in his arms right in front of Evelyn and harshly reprimanded her.“Have you forgotten what those people said about your mother back then?“I just wanted to remind you that you shouldn’t use the same tactics to tear another woman’s clothes...”How disappointed must Evelyn have been when she asked him, “What are you going to do?”A dull ache suddenly tore through his chest.Just then, the doors to the wedding hall swung open.Clap. C

When Adrian Whitmore woke up in the hospital, his personal assistant, Logan Pierce, was standing beside his bed.“The board is considering replacing you because of your current condition,” Logan reported cautiously.Adrian barely reacted. His gaze remained fixed on the ceiling, as though nothing in the world could reach him anymore.Not long after, the director of the care facility called. Vanessa had attempted suicide several times.Adrian hung up without a word and blocked the number.He no longer cared what happened to her.All he could think about was Evelyn Hart.He opened their chat history and scrolled through their old messages, lingering over every ordinary exchange. Then he returned to the surveillance footage from their mansion, watching recordings of Evelyn going about her daily life.There she was, arguing with their deceased puppy as though it could understand her. In another clip, she was sunbathing in the yard. In yet another, she stood on her tiptoes to kiss hi

The warmth of Evelyn’s slap seemed to linger on Adrian’s cheek.He wasn’t angry. Instead, an almost pathological sense of satisfaction surfaced in his eyes.“Evelyn, you finally touched me.”Evelyn’s breath caught for a moment.A chilling sense of absurdity crept through her.Just then, a disheveled woman stumbled out of the shadows.Her hair was tangled, and she had grown so thin that she was almost unrecognizable.The moment she saw Evelyn, she dropped to her knees with a thud, her voice breaking into a desperate wail.“Evelyn, you really are alive… Please, talk to Adrian for me! He had me locked up in a care facility to avenge you. I accepted that, but please beg him to spare my baby!”Evelyn stared at her for a moment before recognizing Vanessa Sinclair beneath her swollen face.When had Vanessa followed them here?The woman before her was a far cry from the spoiled, arrogant mistress who had once taunted Evelyn in the hospital, demanding that she get on all fours and ba

Adrian pushed open his car door, but his legs felt as heavy as lead.He had always carried himself effortlessly in any situation. Now, even walking up to Evelyn felt impossibly difficult.When he was only a few steps away, he stopped, unable to bring himself any closer.His hands clenched and unclenched at his sides before he finally spoke.“I… I just wanted to see you, Evelyn. Vanessa’s baby has been aborted, too…”His voice nearly broke as he said it.He thought of the child he and Evelyn had lost.How had she been after the abortion? How far had things progressed between her and Lucas? Would she ever forgive him?There were too many questions he wanted to ask. His throat bobbed repeatedly before he managed to force a few dry words out.“You’re doing well…“Just as you wished.”Evelyn cut him off, her voice calm.“I’m doing very well. And I’ll be getting married soon.”It felt as though someone had punched Adrian square in the face. He stood rooted to the spot.The man
