I never told my husband who I truly was. After a horrific car crash, I lay in the ER still coughing up blood. When he barged in, he wasn’t worried—he was furious. “Don’t die on my dime,” he snarled, yanking the IV from my arm as blood soaked the sheets. “You’re a useless burden.” When I cried out, he grabbed my hair and smashed my head against the bed rail. “Stop acting,” he hissed, spitting at my injuries as he tried to drag me off the bed. Then a calm, steady voice cut through the chaos: “Sir… step away. Now.” What happened next changed my life forever….
I was seven months pregnant when I walked into Harrison’s skyscraper with a smile and a secret. Then I saw him—my billionaire husband—wrapped around Vivien Sterling. My breath snapped. Pain tore through my belly as I collapsed. Vivien’s heels clicked closer. “Stop acting,” she hissed. “No one cares.” Harrison didn’t even look at me. Sirens wailed… and I whispered, “My baby—please.” But the real shock? The hospital director was her uncle… and he was about to learn everything.
I pushed the door open, grinning—$200K in my pocket, forever in my head. Then I heard my mother’s choked gasp. “Stop… please,” she whispered. My fiancée’s heel snapped forward. “Move, old woman!” Something inside me went cold. I dropped the ring box; it skidded across the floor like a bad joke. “You want to know what you’re marrying?” I said, voice shaking. “A monster.” She turned, smirking. “And what will you do about it?” I smiled—because she had no idea what I’m capable of… and who’s about to find out.
