The day I give birth, I have to endure the pain of the scalpel cutting through my skin because I'm allergic to anesthesia. Marcus Lambert weeps by my side and says, "I don't care whether we have a girl or boy, sweetheart. We're not having any more children. You're all I want…" But later, he has an affair, even allowing his mistress to have his son. He indulges in her and allows her to torment my daughter, which I went through hell to bring into this world. Meanwhile, I keep Marcus' cancer a secret from everyone. Since he and his mistress are tormenting my child, I'll take his life. It's a fair trade, isn't it?

"Hey, did you hear?""What?""Sylvia is arrested for attempted murder. But the police found out that she's afflicted with severe mental illnesses, so they chose to imprison her in an asylum with the best security measures. She can forget about leaving that place for the rest of her life."Lucy nudged my shoulder with a smile. "Jo, everything's finally over!"I patted her on the head smilingly as well. "Yeah. My darling Cher is finally safe.""By the way, I heard Marcus left you a will. What does he want from you?"The sight of Lucy looking so eager to hear the latest gossip amused me to no end. "He wanted me to bury him in a place that's closest to me. That way, it'd be easier for him to atone for his sins.""Wow! What a shameless bastard! What makes him think he has the right to make such requests?"Lucy gazed at me nervously, as though she was afraid that I might agree to Marcus' final request. "Hey! You mustn't—""Yes, yes, I know!" I cut her tirade off instantly. I didn't

Mdm. Meredith's expression contorted even more after hearing my retort. She snatched a blade from a nearby bodyguard and plunged it in my direction."I'll kill you, you filthy woman!"Thankfully, the police came just in time and saved me from Mdm. Meredith's upcoming attack. After Mdm. Meredith got pinned on the ground, she shrieked at the top of her lungs, "Don't touch me with your filthy hands! Do you have any idea who I am? You can't touch a hair on the Lamberts' heads!"The leader of the police squad just chortled in disdain. "The Lamberts, eh? It's true that we might not be able to do anything regarding your family in the past. But this is the present, not the past, Mrs. Lambert!"I was able to free myself from the bonds with the police's help. The first thing I did was slap Mdm. Meredith three times in return. The policeman who was in charge of pinning her down was shocked by my actions.Then, I stepped on Mdm. Meredith's face before grinding my shoe into her cheek. "I gue

"Haha! Mommy!" Cher threw herself into my arms while giggling through her tears.I had no idea how long it had been since I last hugged my precious Cher like this.I made sure to weigh her. Not only did she not lose weight, but she also gained some pounds during my absence.I shot a grateful smile in Lucy's direction, but she was quick to cut me off giddily before I could say anything."Don't thank me! It's all thanks to you that I'm loaded right now!"We all laughed while bantering with each other. Once Cher went to bed, Lucy finally brought up the incidents that had happened in the country during my absence.It had been a long time since Sylvia had caused any trouble. The Lamberts dared not openly give her financial support to stabilize the price of their shares."I heard that someone recognized Sylvia when she was out buying instant ramen for herself. Many people cornered her and beat her up."But since she's a pregnant woman, none of them dealt heavy damage to her. She did

I came from an extremely shitty background. My parents were uncaring bastards who didn't give a damn about their own daughter. They didn't want to spend a single cent on me since I was young.I could only wear hand-me-downs procured from other people to school. Heck, I couldn't even afford my own school uniform.Marcus was the one who had bought me my first uniform and had my homeroom teacher hand it to me. However, he didn't tell me he was the one who had bought it for me.Snacks began overflowing my desk drawer, but my classmates claimed that I had stolen them. Lucy was the only one who had spoken up for me, yet she became their target of bullying.After that, Marcus personally dealt with the matter. He began openly pursuing me, but I kept avoiding him out of fear that the girls kept targeting me maliciously. Some time later, Marcus started keeping a low profile. He learned how to protect me from the shadows. I thought I'd be able to survive my high school years under Marcus' p

Everyone began cursing Marcus and Sylvia out on the Internet. Some of them even dug out Sylvia's address and began camping outside her apartment. They'd also shower her front door with rotten eggs.Sylvia was on the verge of breaking down. Unfortunately, she couldn't contact Marcus at all. She could only ask Mdm. Meredith for help by resorting to threats. "If you don't help me out, I won't give birth to this child!"But Mdm. Meredith was no saint. Not only was Sylvia's threat rendered ineffective, but it also resulted in her losing her only protection."If you don't want to give birth to it, then go ahead and get an abortion. The only reason why I'm even paying attention to you right now is because of the child in your belly."Mark doesn't want you anymore despite your pregnancy. You seriously think you still stand a chance in winning his heart once you get an abortion?"Since Marcus' cheating scandal had caused a terrible impact on his reputation, it was inevitable for both the

Thanks to this incident, Marcus was on the verge of breaking things off with his family. Still, he left the Lambert family and started his own company.Since then, he never returned to Lambert Manor. He didn't even step foot into the place to wish Mdm. Meredith happy birthday. All he did was have his assistant deliver her a gift to show his sincerity.Meanwhile, Cher, who was forced to share the same birthday as Mdm. Meredith, was spoiled and pampered by Marcus. Since I had to go through hell and high water just to give birth to her, Marcus ended up naming her "Cherie", which indicated how precious and beloved she was.As time passed, Marcus began treating Cher and me better. He was in charge of all the house chores and refused to let me handle any of them.He was worried that I might suffer from postpartum depression, so he'd take care of my fragile mental state every day. Heck, he didn't even have the guts to speak to me loudly.Marcus would always take Cher and me to the amusem

I forcibly kept Cher by my side after that. No matter how much Sylvia and Mdm. Meredith tried to threaten or bribe me, I never gave Cher up.All Mdm. Meredith did was threaten to take her own life, didn't she? Two could play the game.If Marcus dared to approach Cher, I'd place a blade near my throat. Whenever Sylvia and Mdm. Meredith visited my home, I'd slit my wrist deeply.After that, Marcus confiscated my blade when I had my guard down. I responded by jumping off the second floor, which resulted in me breaking a rib.Marcus begged Mdm. Meredith to not come over anymore. He had to grovel to them in order to get Sylvia and Mdm. Meredith to stop showing up.Ugh. It really hurt a lot to have a broken rib. At least, I no longer had to pretend to be in pain anymore.Having realized that she could no longer control me, Mdm. Meredith contacted all the hospitals in the city and told them to not take me and Marcus in as patients.What a cold and heartless woman! Thank goodness I wasn

Marcus stared at me immediately. There were flashes of shock, fear, and uneasiness in his eyes.I forced out a smile. "You know what I'm like. I've never lied to you. Besides, I don't know how to act. After all, you of all people know how tiring it is to put up an act, right?"Marcus didn't doubt me at all. He believed every word I said, just like how I once believed he'd remain loyal to me forever.But based on how things have progressed until now, we were no longer the same version of ourselves when we first met. Marcus started panting heavily all of a sudden. His eyes teared up as well.He rushed up to me and hugged me. "Stop talking about it, Jo! Please, just stop talking about it! You won't die! I won't let you die!"I shoved Marcus away in response. I watched impassively as he collapsed onto the spread of glass shards on the floor. His embrace used to bring me warmth and comfort. Now, it brought me nothing but disgust.Marcus couldn't care less about the fresh injuries

Marcus wiped away the blood on his forehead before crouching down in front of me tentatively."I'm sorry for coming back late, honey. I—"I responded by using all my strength to deliver a slap across his cheek. "Where the hell is your conscience, Marcus Lambert? Your daughter has gone missing, and yet you never returned home for days! Are you saying that your daughter's life isn't as important as that plaything of yours?"Marcus' expression crashed instantly when he heard the way I addressed Sylvia."Must you be so vulgar? What do you mean by 'plaything'? Where the hell are your manners, Joanna?"Marcus was clearly biased toward Sylvia. From that moment onward, I knew I couldn't assume he had a conscience anymore."They lost my daughter! Why would I still be polite to them at a time like this? She wants to marry you, right? Tell her to give Cher back to me, and I'll get a divorce with you right away! I'll let her become your wife! "My darling Cher is still so young… She'll be s

Chapter 1
I went to the hospital to pick up a diagnosis report on the day my daughter, Cherie Lambert, went missing. Earlier, I had my husband, Marcus Lambert, pick her up at the kindergarten."Don't worry, honey! I promise that I'll bring our beloved princess home safe and sound!" To think I'd end up making eye contact with the same man who had given me that promise over the phone in the hospital's corridor around the corner. He looked pretty shocked to see me. Also, he happened to have an arm wrapped around a young woman's shoulders.I knew who she was. That was the useless intern Marcus had complained to me about every day. Her name was Sylvia Wells.The moment Marcus saw me, he released his hold on her right away. Sylvia shrank away from me as she moved to hide behind Marcus timidly. One of her hands instinctively protected her belly, while the other moved to tug at the hem of Marcus' shirt after a moment's hesitation."Didn't you go pick Cher up?"Marcus strode forward in wide st...
