Pregnant Without a Man Chapter 2
Before I could say another word, Ethan bent down and grabbed the shattered porcelain bowl of oatmeal off the floor. He shoved the shards and oatmeal straight into my mouth."Hazel and I have struggled to survive for the past three years. Yet, you've been leeching off the Moore family, living in comfort with that child in your belly! Well, let me make sure you get your fill today!" he barked.I instantly choked, unable to speak. The sharp pieces of porcelain cut into the inside of my mouth, and blood gushed across my tongue.I raised a hand to resist, but Hazel stomped her stiletto heel down hard on my hand. Pain shot up my arm, and my hand trembled uncontrollably. I couldn't even cry out.Ethan spat in my face after stuffing every bit of that oatmeal into my mouth. He then clapped his hands and stood up.Hazel's stiletto heel shifted toward my swollen belly.Terror gripped me. I grabbed her ankle with all the strength I had, trying desperately to stop her from stepping down.J
Pregnant Without a Man Chapter 3
For the sake of the child in my belly, I could no longer care about my pride or dignity. I turned and dropped to my knees.I let out two barking sounds, my voice trembling as I said, "I'm filthy."Hazel leaned down as she curled her lips into a triumphant smile."Audrey, when I once kneeled in front of you and begged you not to marry Ethan, did you ever imagine you'd end up like this?"Hazel had come to plead with me back then, saying she and Ethan were in love, and asked me to call off the engagement. The marriage between the Moore and the Smith families had been arranged by our elders, bound by countless business interests.If I were to end it, the blame would fall squarely on my family—we'd be the ones suffering the consequences. So, I rejected her request.I never thought she'd hold that grudge for this long.But I had no strength left to argue about the past. I looked up at them, pleading, "Please call an ambulance…"Ethan stomped down hard on my back."Audrey, you real

Ethan flinched at Jeremiah's sudden roar, and he instinctively let go of the rope. Ever since he was young, he had always been afraid of his cold and intimidating uncle.But when he spotted David following behind Jeremiah, his nerves settled. He was the Moore family's only grandson, and David had always treated him like a precious gem.He ran up and threw his arms around David, deliberately wiping away two fake teardrops."Grandpa, I've missed you so much these past three years!" Ethan cried.Hazel stepped forward too. As the adopted daughter of the Moores, she naturally didn't share the same bond with David. She stood to the side and said, "Grandpa, Ethan and I both realize we were wrong. He's ready to come back and finish the wedding with Ms. Smith. We just didn't expect…"Ethan cut in with a furious tone, "We didn't expect that shameless woman to cheat on me behind my back and get pregnant with some disreputable child, trying to pass it off as a Moore! But don't worry, Grandp

As soon as David finished speaking, Ethan and Hazel froze in shock. It took them a long moment to find their voices.Ethan stuttered, "Th-that's impossible. Audrey is my wife—how could she possibly be with Uncle Jeremiah? And doesn't he hate women? Wasn't he born infertile?"David looked at him with utter disappointment."Back then, after you ran off on your wedding day, Audrey married Jeremiah on the spot. How is it that everyone in Beverton City knows this except you?"Ethan froze. After he and Hazel eloped, they cut off all contact from Beverton City, fearing the family would come after them. They'd been drifting through foreign countries ever since, wasting their days away.It wasn't until recently that all of his cards were frozen. With not a penny left, they spent a whole month washing dishes at a diner just to scrape together enough for two plane tickets home.They rushed straight to the Moore residence after landing, so they didn't have time to ask around about anything e

Jeremiah held me and the child tightly in his arms, his eyes filled with murderous intent."Don't worry, Audrey. I'll make them pay for what they did to you and the baby. Whatever you've suffered today, I'll make them suffer a hundredfold," he promised.I held our child in my arms for a whole day and night, until I finally had no choice but to accept the unbearable truth that our baby was gone forever.After the cremation, Jeremiah and I chose the most peaceful cemetery in Beverton City for his burial.Ethan and Hazel were dragged up by bodyguards and forced to kneel before the child's grave.It had only been a day, but I barely recognized them.Their hair was matted, and their faces were swollen beyond recognition. Bloodied welts covered their arms, legs, and bodies.Jeremiah had ordered the guards to dip their whips in salt water before lashing them. Then he had them thrown into a sewage pit overnight—the stench still clung to them.He handed me an iron rod. "Audrey, do whate

Hazel suddenly struck herself hard across her face, the slapping sound echoing loudly. "Audrey, if you want revenge, take it out on Ethan. He's the one who killed your child. It had nothing to do with me. Please, I'm begging you, let me go," she pleaded.Ethan's eyes burned with fury as he glared at Hazel. "How dare you lie to me!"Seeing that there was no way out, Hazel dropped the act altogether. "You've only got yourself to blame. I photoshopped a few fake photos and told you Audrey was sleeping around, and you actually believed it."With a sudden surge of strength, Ethan broke free from the bodyguards and lunged at Hazel."You're the reason I ended up like this. I'll kill you!"They started grappling violently. Hazel wasn't as strong, but she knew how to fight dirty. She aimed ruthlessly for the wounds on his face.I took a few steps back, watching the two of them turn on each other. Eventually, Ethan overpowered her, his hands closing around her throat.Hazel's eyes rol

If David had insisted on protecting Ethan, I would've been even more unyielding. After all, the Moore family's power now rested in Jeremiah's hands. Eventually, David would've had to back down.However, he was begging to die in Ethan's place. For a moment, I genuinely didn't know what to do.Jeremiah stepped forward and caught me just as I staggered back. His sharp gaze swept over everyone present before he snapped, "What's wrong with you all? Just standing there while Mr. Moore Senior causes a scene? Get him out of here."The bodyguards snapped into action, two of them stepping forward to lift David by the arms and guide him out.Jeremiah saw that I couldn't bring myself to act. He took the iron rod from my hand and said, "I'm the father. If anyone's going to avenge the child, it should be me. Audrey, step back. You don't need to see this."Hazel and Ethan had lost their final shield. As Jeremiah approached with the rod, their eyes filled with raw terror, and they began to tr

Ethan Moore stormed over, his face twisted with rage as he yanked me off the couch."Shameless! I left with Hazel on our wedding day. I haven't stepped foot in this place for three years. How could that child in your belly be mine?"I almost laughed. I never said it was his. He wasn't the only man in the Moore family."Of course, it's not your child. You're not even worthy of being his father," I said.Hazel Moore's face twisted in shock."Audrey Smith, even if Ethan ran away from the wedding, he still left you with the title of Mrs. Moore. You've been living a life of luxury in the Moore family. How could you shamelessly get pregnant with someone else's child?"I glanced at her. "You're the adopted daughter of the Moore family, and you had the nerve to seduce your own brother. If we're talking about being shameless, who could possibly beat the two of you?"Hazel's voice turned pitiful as she looked at Ethan. "Ethan, for the past three years, we've kept things respectful. Yet,
