I gritted my teeth. “So, you mean to say that you expected me to remain loyal to you like a widow while you were gone for three years without any contact?

“Until you get rich, should I remain single forever? How absurd!”

The crowd stopped cursing at me, but no one dared to step forward to stop him. A few murmurs spread through the crowd.

“This guy’s family is terrible too.”

Nathan slapped me across the face. My already swollen face throbbed with pain. My belly felt worse, and I could not shake the feeling that my water was about to break.

“Harriet, you look down on me!

“It’s true that my pay for the confidential mission at Westbrook doesn’t earn as much as what you make with your company. But what I do is for the country!”

“So, her partner is a government researcher at Westbrook!”

“Oh, my goodness! How could she treat someone in government research like that? They contribute a lot to the country!”

“If you ask me, she probably betrayed the family in more ways than just having an affair. She should be locked up and should spend her life in prison!”

I sneered and turned to Nathan. “What kind of contribution can an idiot like you make to the country?!”

Before Nathan could respond, the bystanders began voicing their outrage.

“I can’t stand this anymore! This woman has no sense of decency. Can someone just beat her to death already?”

“Unbelievable! She’s slandering a government researcher. She should take a look at herself in the mirror.”

“She’s clearly had it too easy in life!”

Beatrice, who had been silent, wiped her tears. “Harriet, I know you’ve always looked down on Nathan’s job because you earn more money than he does.

“But what more do you want? What will it take for you to live a good life with Nathan? He has always accommodated your needs. Just this once, he chose to serve the country. Do you really have to push him this far?”

The crowd grew angrier. Some people even shoved me.

“This woman is a total disgrace!”

“When he becomes an academician, you won’t even be worthy of standing next to him!”

“If you ask me, he should just dump her. Even being near her feels like bad luck!”

By then, Nathan had calmed down. “Harriet, it’s over between us.”

Cheers erupted around us. Some people even clapped for what they saw as Nathan’s wise decision.

Encouraged by their support, Nathan shouted angrily, “My mom took care of you throughout your pregnancy. Not only did you cheat, but you also destroyed our relationship!

“My mom deserves better. You’ve caused me immense pain. I’m not letting this slide.

“Compensate with 2 million dollars, and we’ll have nothing to do with each other.”

I laughed in exasperation. In the end, all he wanted was my money.

“You own a company. 2 million dollars isn’t much for you. Let’s part ways peacefully.”

“You’re still trying to extort money from me? Nathan, I’d rather give that money to a beggar than to you!”

Beatrice got mad. She charged at me and slammed her head into my belly. I was thrown to the ground. My belly spasmed in pain, and blood flowed from between my legs.

I bit down on my lip and trembled all over. In my weak state, I tried to grab someone nearby and hoped they would help me call a doctor.

Instead, the crowd shamed me even more.

“This shameless woman only cares about money. How dare she insult someone in government research? She deserves to die!”

“Exactly! All he asked for was 2 million dollars. It’s not like he was asking for her life.”

“Even if she dies from this, it’s her own fault.”

Nathan crouched down and looked at me with a smile. Then, he kicked me hard.

Pain shot through my body and left me trembling. My face turned pale as I bit down on my lip even harder.

“Harriet, if you dare say another word, I’ll kick you right in your belly! I’m serving my country. How dare you insult me?”

I scoffed. “What exactly have you been doing? Other people might not know, but why are you lying to yourself?”

Nathan’s face darkened instantly. “What are you talking about?”

“Nathan, do you really think I don’t know what you’ve been up to?”

The noisy crowd around us gradually calmed down. I burst out laughing. “You never went to Westbrook! Your mistress got pregnant, and you were taking care of her!”

    The crowd froze for a moment. Those who had condemned me began to hush. Nathan slapped me repeatedly. The sound of each slap rang in my ears and made my head spin. I could barely think straight, and I could still hear him shouting. “You witch! You made up that lie just to cover up your affair! “I’ll teach you a lesson for slandering me!” The pain was so intense that I could not speak. Finally, someone could no longer watch in silence and shouted for help to get me to the delivery room. Nathan still would not get off me. The hospital’s security guards managed to pull him off, but they arrived much later than they should have. By then, I had already passed out. When I opened my eyes, I was lying in a hospital ward. Something felt missing in my belly. Panic surged through me as I tried to ask about my daughter. She was supposed to be my gift to myself! She was my one and only child! Before I could get up, Beatrice walked in with a basket of eggs and a big smile on her

    “Don’t worry about me. I’m sure you already know what’s coming for you,” Nathan said as he pressed his hand against my belly. I immediately tensed up in pain. “Get your secretary to handle the company transfer right now. If you do, I might still consider keeping you. If not, you’ll be left to fend for yourself.” “Hey, what are you doing?!” A nurse entered. Nathan quickly removed his hand from my belly. She gave him an annoyed look. “She just gave birth. You shouldn’t be touching her belly.” “What happened to your face?” The nurse noticed the egg yolk all over my face and shouted at Nathan. “What’s going on here?!” Before Nathan could answer, Beatrice started crying. “Harriet thought it was pathetic that I brought eggs to see her. She… tried to throw the eggs at me, but she didn’t have the strength. So, they landed on herself. “I tried to wipe it off, but she got mad and told me to leave. She even bit me.” Beatrice held out her hand to show a mark. The nurse looked a littl

    As soon as someone in the crowd spoke up, Beatrice shouted even louder, “Everyone, come and look at this shameless woman who gave birth to an illegitimate baby! “She just gave birth and is already trying to get rid of me and my son! My poor son treated her so well, yet she hid everything from him throughout her entire pregnancy!” “You’re lying!” Cameron stood up and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. “It was you who took advantage of Ms. Harriet being pregnant and attacked her. You two forced her into preterm labor. Now, you’re trying to kill both her and her child! “And for the record, Ms. Harriet never had an affair. It was this man who cheated and orchestrated the online harassment against her. I’ve already given the evidence to the police. Nathan, you just wait!” The crowd laughed mockingly. “She cheated, gave birth to an illegitimate baby, insulted a government researcher, and now, she’s calling the police! As if they’d take her side!” “But that man did seem

  • Pregnant When My Boyfriend Came Back   Chapter 7

    A month passed. My daughter, whom I named Stella Ellis, and I were both discharged from the hospital. I looked at my IVF baby and felt nothing but love. I had dated Nathan for two years. I believed Nathan was a talented person, but he was overconfident. When he was rejected by the prestigious National Academy of Sciences, he stubbornly tried to get into Ellis Global Solutions, even though his field of expertise did not align with it at all. He just refused to look for any other job. I did not understand why he did that until I overheard a conversation between him and Beatrice. That was when I realized that they were after my family’s wealth and planned to leave me with nothing. At first, I was just disappointed. I thought that if his feelings for me were real, that would be enough. But I never imagined that he would use my money to support his mistress. When she got pregnant, he told me he was going to Westbrook for three years. That was when I truly saw how low Nathan ha

    It was the first time Stella had met someone so shameless. She was a little scared but still stood in front of me. “Mom, I know kickboxing. I’ll protect you!” While I felt comforted, I knew Beatrice would not back down easily. It was better to leave while we still could. No matter which way I tried to escape, Beatrice always got there first to block our way. “Harriet, is this little brat not up to your standard? Don’t worry. We won’t take him in. He won’t get a dime of our family’s fortune. “His mother slept with countless men. Who even knows if he’s really Nathan’s child? “Harriet, Nathan is innocent!” “Grandma, you’re lying! You’re the one who abuses Mom every day!” “Shut up, you little trash! I’ll beat you to death when I get the chance!” “Mom! Mom!” shouted the little boy suddenly. I turned and saw a woman who looked a little disheveled. She was walking toward us. She was wearing high heels and carrying a bag. She jogged over to us. “Mom, I’ve been treating you with

    My boyfriend, Nathan Bardot, stared at me in disbelief. “I’m asking about the baby in your belly! What’s going on? “I’ve been gone for ten months. If you got pregnant the moment I left, you should have already given birth by now. Explain yourself! What’s really going on?” He grabbed my wrist tightly. I felt a sharp pain and tried to pull away. His face darkened, and he tightened his grip. I got annoyed and snapped, “Are you crazy? I’m pregnant! What’s there to explain?” “Harriet, you got pregnant while I wasn’t home! You won’t even tell me whose child it is?” Before I could respond, he slapped me across the face. I stared at him in shock. I instinctively shielded my belly. “Nathan, how dare you hit me? Do you want to end up in jail? I’m warning you, this baby wasn’t easy for me to conceive. If you lay a hand on me again and something happens to the baby, I won’t let you off the hook.” Nathan suddenly started laughing. “That baby is illegitimate. All the better if it’s g

    “What?!” Beatrice visibly panicked. She looked at Nathan in shock. “Didn’t you two get intimate the last time she visited you?” “Harriet never came to meet me!” Nathan pointed at my belly and said, “That’s an illegitimate child!” Beatrice burst into tears. “Oh, my God! What’s happening?” She trembled as she approached me. “You witch! You piece of trash! “Nathan treated you so well. I even took care of you in every possible way when I found out you were pregnant. How dare you carry someone else’s baby?!” Beatrice pointed at me and shouted, “I always knew you weren’t good enough for him, you witch! Nathan graduated from a top university. I didn’t agree with him when he said he wanted to marry you, but he was determined. Even with your parents dead, he still wanted to marry you. “He treated you so well. How could you do this to him?!” She eventually collapsed and began sobbing loudly. “Oh God, how could my family get such a daughter-in-law?!” The crowd around us slowly b
