A Heart's U-Turn: It's Never Too Late
During the seventh year of my relationship with Oscar Ramsay, he goes back to his home country to inherit the position of heir to the Ramsay family from his younger brother, Oliver Ramsay, who passed away.
He also accepts Oliver's widow, Evie Griffin, into the family.
Every time after he sleeps with her, he will get down on his knees before me and beg me for forgiveness.
"I'm sorry, Aurora. You're the only person I love, but none of this is of my own accord. I'll only be able to publicly announce our relationship after I successfully give Evie a baby to be the next family heir.
"I'll be taking over the company by then, too, and give you a better life in the future."
He even tells me resentfully that his father, Uriah Ramsay, had told him of his dying wish that Evie give birth to a baby boy.
Over the next year, Oscar sleeps with Evie 200 times. It went from a few times a month to a few times a week. Eventually, Oscar just sleeps in her room every single night.
After I lose sleep for 200 nights, Evie finally gets pregnant. The next day, Oscar and Evie get married at a very expensive and elaborate wedding at a church.
Ingrid Ramsay, my daughter, gets upset when she sees Oscar and Evie kissing on the screen.
"Mommy, why is Daddy getting married to someone else? You're his wife!"
I cover Ingrid's eyes and smile bitterly.
"Because Daddy doesn't love Mommy."
Oscar doesn't know this, but I have never cared that other people didn't know about my real identity. I also don't care about his money or wealth. I only care whether or not he loves me.
I'm no longer willing to face a man who cheats on me. Instead, I bring Ingrid with me as we leave him forever.
