Chapter 1

I instinctively stepped back. I had no desire to tempt bad luck.But the man's expression only darkened further.The rain grew heavier.He grabbed me and hauled me straight into the car.I stumbled along behind him in my heels. He did not spare me a single glance, and my eyes burned with sudden tears.Sure enough, the one he had never gotten over was back. He used to at least wait for me.The voice in my womb spoke up again. 'Here it comes. If the last nine times are anything to go by, you're about to kick him with your heel, and then he's going to dump you on the side of the road.'My breath caught. I had no intention of acting recklessly again.The smartest move was to stay quiet, survive this ordeal, and then leave. I could not even understand why I had been so self-destructive the previous nine times.My foot caught on a small stone, and I stumbled.Joseph turned around and shoved me into the car, his voice cold. "Even an idiot knows to run when it rains. Sabrina, you rea

That night, just as I had expected, Joseph did not come to see me.'My sorry excuse of a father is at the hospital with Lenore right now. She has a fever. He doesn't have time for you.'I curled up in bed.I hadn't dried myself off in time after getting soaked in the rain, and I had caught a fever too.In the past, I would have called Joseph without a second thought, regardless of the time or circumstances, and demanded that he come take care of me.But now I saw things clearly. I knew when I wasn't wanted.As it happened, the company had a two-year posting to Angelea that would begin the next day. My manager had approached me about it the week before.I had turned it down at the time.But now, delirious with fever, I mustered the last of my strength to unlock my phone and send my acceptance.…The next morning, I woke to find a dozen missed calls from Joseph on my phone.I called him back.His clipped, furious voice came through immediately. "If you're not going to answer

I had just finished printing my resignation letter and was about to hand it over when the manager spoke first. "Sabrina, Mr. Sinclair wants to see you."I froze for a moment.I tucked the resignation letter away and headed for the elevators. My gaze drifted to the one on the far right, reserved exclusively for the CEO.I used to be able to take it whenever I wanted. But that morning, I discovered that my access had been revoked.When I reached Joseph's office, Lenore stood beside him and walked him through a report.He listened attentively and offered gentle corrections from time to time, a far cry from the sharp, biting way he pointed out my mistakes.Lenore spotted me first and greeted me with exaggerated warmth, "Brina, you're here."Goosebumps rose across my skin.We had been friends in high school, but after 10 years apart, we were barely more than acquaintances.Joseph looked up and frowned. "Why are you so pale? Not feeling well?""I'm fine."Just a fever on top of a

Joseph hauled me out of the private room, practically dragging me the entire way.Lenore hurried after us, pleading, "Joe, don't be angry. I don't mind that Brina went ahead and joined the business talks without me."My heart sank.So that was it. That was the reason.At the end of the hallway, Joseph positioned himself between Lenore and me, as if to shield her from me."Who told you that you could take matters into your own hands and come here?" His breath trembled with fury. "Didn't I make myself clear? You have no right to be here! You're just a level-two staff member, and you think you can sit in on a business dinner? Can't you understand plain words?"He took several deep breaths, as if he were struggling to restrain himself. "Sabrina, do you really think that highly of yourself? Do you think the entire project would fall apart without you?"Or do you think a company as big as the Sinclair Group can't find someone better than you?"I stared at the floor and said nothing.

I did not reply to a single one of them. I blocked every last contact and deleted them all in one sweep.From what the children had told me, staying anywhere near Joseph meant disaster was only a matter of time.Leaving was the only way I could survive.The airport was full of strangers who came and went in every direction, and not one of them knew who I was. Somehow, that made me feel safer than I had in years.-Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, Joseph watched as his calls went from unanswered to straight to voicemail. His face darkened like coal. His thin lips pressed into a hard line, and even he could barely contain the emotions that churned in his chest.'So she has finally grown some nerve. A few words of discipline, and she has gone and vanished on me,' he thought darkly.He had no idea what she thought she was doing.He leaned back in his chair, exhausted, just as his assistant pushed open the office door."Report," he spat."Mr. Sinclair, the Bremont Group'

My days without Joseph were unusually pleasant. I took long walks and spent leisurely mornings admiring the flowers.I no longer had to worry that one wrong move might cost me my life.Given Joseph's resources, I knew I would not be able to hide from him for long.But I had not expected him to find me so quickly.Only two weeks later, I was on my way home from a musical when I stopped dead at the corner. Beneath the dim glow of a streetlamp stood Joseph, his expression anything but pleasant.I froze in place.He regarded me with a conflicted look in his eyes. "Living it up out here, are you? Do you have any idea what I've spent the last two weeks doing?"I had no interest in humoring him. "What you've been doing has nothing to do with me.""And you don't need to tell me about whatever's going on between you and Lenore," I added with a hint of disgust. "Do you have some kind of exhibitionist streak?"He drew a sharp breath, his chest tight with fury. "Sabrina Davis!"-For th

I got home and sank onto the couch, raking a hand through my hair.This was exhausting. Joseph just wouldn't stop coming after me.A few hours later, I received a call from an unknown number.I answered without thinking, and a shrill, furious voice screamed through the line. "Sabrina Davis! What did you do, you backstabbing little witch? What did you say to Joseph? Why doesn't he want me anymore?"My face darkened. The mere sound of Lenore's voice made me sick to my stomach."Are you unwell? Your relationship falling apart has nothing to do with me," I said.She cried and begged in the same breath, her voice on the verge of hysteria. "How does it have nothing to do with you? Sabrina, for the sake of the friendship we used to have, I'm begging you. Let him go. Please."I really can't live without him! If he leaves me, I'll die, and if I die, it'll be your fault! You'll be the one who killed me!"Her voice rose higher, more unhinged by the second. "If I die, you'll have blood on

Joseph could not even remember how he had boarded the plane. His dazed mind kept returning to those two words: Obstetrics hospital.'Pregnant? She's actually…' Never in his life had Joseph wanted to see someone so desperately. His heart felt as though it had been pulled taut, and a strange, tingling ache spread through his chest.He leaned back in his seat and gripped his phone with both hands, his eyes fixed on the photo on the screen."Wait for me," he muttered.-Meanwhile, in Angelea, I had just left the hospital.Pregnancy turned out to be far more troublesome than I had expected: glucose screening, anomaly scans, and two full vials of blood drawn for testing.Fortunately, all the results came back normal.I rubbed my abdomen and smiled. "You two really do want to live, don't you?"'Of course we do! We've already survived nine lifetimes. You have to bring us into this world safely this time, Mom,' they said at the same time.By the time I left the hospital, darkness had
