On our wedding anniversary, my husband has his intern put on the custom-made wedding gown he prepared for me. "You wouldn't have looked good in a wedding gown with your baby bump, anyway. She's saving us trouble by wearing the gown for you. Think about how kind she is!" Before I can rebuke him, an earthquake happens. I lose my balance and fall to the floor. Instantly, I feel moisture on my legs. At the same time, my husband received a call from his intern. "There are so many frogs here, Mr. Quinn. I'm so scared…" My husband turns to leave, but I grab his pant leg. "Ethan, I—" "It's just a minor earthquake—the ground barely even shook. Don't make a mountain out of a molehill. Didn't you hear Chloe crying because she was so scared? Can't you be sympathetic?" He ignores the blood pooling around me and hurries off to comfort Chloe Bennett. That night, they share a passionate kiss under a sky full of fireworks. Meanwhile, my child dies in my belly. It's a pretty good way to end things. Someone like Ethan Quinn doesn't deserve to have his own children.

The Stars No Longer Shine for You Chapter 9
James and I scheduled our wedding on the anniversary of the day we met.On the wedding day, I felt like an outsider, with nothing to worry about—James had taken care of everything.I sat in the dressing room, fully made up, looking my best.Soon, friends and family arrived to exchange greetings and take pictures.Through the small opening in the large door, I saw a familiar figure pass by—it was Ethan.He merely gave me a relieved smile before turning and leaving. He never showed up again for the rest of the ceremony. I knew then that he had finally let go.The wedding was grand and extravagant, hailed by the media as the Wedding of the Century. Afterward, James and I traveled to Frostholm, a destination I had always longed to visit.Not long after returning, I discovered I was pregnant.At first, I was overwhelmed with anxiety—memories of my past miscarriage haunted me. I had nightmares of losing my baby, of blood staining my hands.James quickly sensed that something was w

I knew Ethan transferred all his assets to me out of guilt. But I felt no gratitude. I had sacrificed too much for that home—far more than money could ever measure. So I accepted it without hesitation. I sold the properties and reinvested, ensuring a clean break from him. I bought a luxury villa in the suburbs, enjoying a peaceful life on my own.Chloe, unwilling to accept her loss, continued clinging to Ethan at the company. Former colleagues kept me informed—Ethan was now avoiding the office entirely just to stay away from her.She refused to resign, becoming the laughingstock of the entire workplace. But the situation didn't last long before another dramatic twist unfolded.One day, a massive banner was hung outside the company entrance."Chloe Bennett, Shameless Homewrecker!"The video spread like wildfire online. In the footage, Chloe was being beaten senseless by the wife of a wealthy businessman.Slaps, kicks to the stomach—at one point, even a chunk of her scalp was tor

I walked downstairs, and the moment Chloe saw me, her eyes lit up like a predator spotting prey."Finally, you show yourself! Did you think hiding would solve anything?"I let out a cold laugh. "I wasn't hiding. Have you ever seen someone check into a hospital for fun? Cut the drama—no one needs all those details."Chloe's face flushed red with anger. "You did this on purpose! You knew I was pregnant, and you're using these tricks to keep Ethan from contacting me! You're truly despicable. He loves me! You can't stop us!"I couldn't help but chuckle. "I've been in the hospital this whole time and haven't seen Ethan once. He's a grown man with working limbs—if he truly loved you, why hasn't he come to find you? You went through all this effort to track me down—did you think he was here with me?"Her face twisted with resentment. Clearly, I had hit a nerve."I already gave him the divorce papers. He's the one refusing to sign. If you see him, tell him to stop wasting my time. This m

Of course, I would never give him another chance."Ethan, haven't you always wanted a son? Isn't there some grand inheritance in your family? Didn't your mother say that without a son, I wouldn't be welcome to join the family?"Chloe can give you everything you want. As for the child, does it really matter if it's yours?"Ethan's veins bulged with anger, but he had no words to refute me.That day, I took a cab to the hospital alone. I needed time to recover properly—and to stay away from Ethan.I checked into a VIP ward and stayed there for an entire month. The hospital had the best rehabilitation plans and nutritious meals. I slept whenever I was tired, basked in the sun when I woke up, and had professional caregivers tending to me. My health gradually improved.During that time, Ethan still hadn't signed the divorce papers. He bombarded me with messages, desperately trying to win me back. He became oddly domestic, cleaning the house and polishing our wedding photos until th

The nurse's scolding left Ethan frozen in place. His eyes were locked onto my stomach, his gaze turning red-rimmed."How could this happen?" His voice was hoarse. "Everything was fine last night. It was just a minor earthquake. How could the baby be gone? Honey, you're lying to me, aren't you?"Even as he stared at my flattened abdomen, he clung to his delusion.I wished—desperately wished—that I was lying.The nurse, hearing his words, suddenly realized something. Her expression turned to one of pure disdain as she sneered at him. "Oh, right. Just a level-three earthquake. "Everyone else just had a scare, but conveniently, this lady's husband and child are both dead. What a coincidence, don't you think?"Ethan's face turned deathly pale.Ignoring him, the nurse turned to me and gave instructions. "You're just weak right now. You'll experience some bleeding, but treat it like a heavy period. Most importantly, don't catch a cold. "You're still young. If you want another child,

The moment those words left Chloe's mouth, Ethan's grip on the steering wheel faltered. The car swerved sharply, coming to a sudden, slanted stop in the middle of the road.A loud screech of tires followed as the cars behind us were forced to brake abruptly. A furious driver jumped out and stormed over, shouting, "Do you even know how to drive? You can't just turn like that here!"Ethan's forehead veins bulged as he clenched his jaw, taking a few moments before opening the door to argue with the man. He didn't even glance at me—still curled up in pain in the passenger seat.The abrupt stop had slammed my abdomen against the car's interior. I could barely speak. A warm, distinct sensation spread beneath me, accompanied by an unmistakable scent.It was the other driver who noticed first. "Hey, isn't that your wife? She doesn't look good. Did she get hurt?"Only then did Ethan finally turn his gaze to me. Both hesitated as they approached, but neither dared to touch me. Their eye

I walked straight out. I had intended to return to my hospital room, but Ethan grabbed me and pulled me away.He opened the passenger door, and the moment I leaned in, a nauseating stench hit me.The car was part of their game. Scattered across the seats were remnants of last night's debauchery—a pair of pink lace panties hanging off the seat, black stockings torn apart and stained with questionable fluids. It was evident how wild things had gotten."Ugh—" I gagged and turned away, unable to hold back the nausea. Ethan hurriedly gathered up the mess."Baby, listen to me. I lent my car to Brandon yesterday. This must be him and his wife. I swear—" He hastily explained. "This is too much. I'm calling him right now—""No need," I interrupted, waving a hand dismissively. Ethan hesitated, looking at me with uncertainty.I understood his confusion. In the past, I would have thrown a fit, refusing to let it go. But now, I simply didn't care anymore.I raised my hand to hail a cab, but

I could hear Ethan's breath hitch before he erupted into a furious outburst."Vivian Ward, I've really spoiled you rotten! Employees are the lifeblood of a company—can't you understand that, you foolish woman?"He was clearly enraged. "Threatening me with divorce time and time again is one thing, but now you're even cursing our child? I think there's something seriously wrong with your brain!"Why can't you be more sensible, like Chloe? I'm coming to get you—let's go have that brain of yours checked." Not long after, Ethan really did show up, holding a bouquet of half-wilted flowers. He tossed them onto the table impatiently."Chloe heard you were hurt. She asked me to bring these. Look at her—such a thoughtful young lady, showing concern for you during tough times."I stared at the half-dead bouquet, seeing in it a reflection of myself from last night.I had seen these flowers before, in Chloe's social media post. She had rested her chin on them, smiling brightly.And now, th
