Chapter 3

After that, Zac did as he promised. He was there whenever I needed him.

He was there until his business grew bigger, and he started to get busier.

He was there until Heather appeared in his life.

He was there until we had our first big fight because of Heather.

It was hard to repair a relationship that was already broken.

If there was someone else in a relationship, it was hard to mend it anymore.

The year Manny was born was the toughest year for the company.

I was completely alone during my pregnancy, and I even went into labor alone.

I only gave him a call when I was about to give birth.

However, Heather was the one who answered.

Her soft voice said, “Mrs. Davis, Mr. Davis is in a business meeting. He’s unable to talk to you right now. If you have anything urgent, I can pass the message on to him.”

I bore the pain of contractions and bit my tongue when I heard Zac’s sigh over the phone.

After I ended the call, a notification popped onto my phone screen.

It was a receipt from a hotel.

That was the first time someone had taken photos of Zac and Heather at a hotel.

I had just given birth to Manny when the paparazzo asked for a million dollars in exchange for the photos.

I paid for it.

I finanly realized I was wrong from the start.

That was only the start of all the pain and suffering I had to go through.

I finally woke up from this nightmare on the day I lost my son.

I was alone when I brought Manny into this world, and I was alone when I sent him away.

After I left home, I did not dare to go back to my parents.

I could only rent a room as I took Manny’s ashes with me.

I got Zac’s assistant to make an appointment at the funeral parlor.

I ordered myself some food and stayed at home for two days.

On the third day, when I was about to leave for the appointment at the funeral parlor, someone was slamming on my door.

The urn carrying Manny’s ashes almost fell out of my hands.

I immediately stood up and checked the urn. I only let out a sigh of relief when I noticed it was fine.

Zac yelled angrily, “Did you take Manny away? Ask him to come out now!”

I frowned as his bodyguards started to search my house.

After a while, everyone regrouped in the living room again.

They all shook their heads at Zac.

He immediately looked angry.

His eyes were red as he glared at me.

He yelled, “Where’s Manny?”

Heather walked in and immediately stopped him upon seeing this sight.

“Mr. Davis, please calm down. Don’t fight with Mrs. Davis. You’ve been married for so many years…”

Before she could finish her words, I stood up and spat in her face.

“I don’t need your sympathy! If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have ended up like this today!”

After I said that, Zac grabbed my hair angrily.

I grimaced from the pain.

But he did not see the pain in my face. He said coldly, “Just because of your jealousy, you influenced Manny to ruin my business. Why are you still pretending to be innocent in front of me? Am I being too lenient with you?”

I grit my teeth, but I could not stop the tears.

“What Manny does is none of your concern! You don’t have the right to say anything about it! Zac, the thing that I regret the most in my entire life is going against my family’s wishes and marrying you! I was blind!”

Initially, I wanted to send him a text message to let him be a part of the funeral services.

I did not think there was a need for that anymore.

He never cared about Manny at all.

Upon hearing my words, Zac was even angrier.

He raised his hand and wanted to slap me.
