She faces labor complications and lies on the bed, her survival uncertain. Yet her husband, son, parents, and brother celebrate another woman's birthday, uncaring whether she will live or die. Claudia Lowell loses hope in them. She doesn't want them anymore—her cold-blooded parents, her scumbag of a husband, and her heartless son. She fakes her death and leaves the city with her newborn daughter! After heading to a small, remote town, she changes her identity and goes back to what she used to do. A single painting of hers is worth millions of dollars. She drives a sports car, wears haute couture, and stuns the city with her beauty. When word about her looking for a father for her daughter gets out, the world's elite come swarming. The scion of an affluent family, a bigwig in the tech industry, a medical genius, a rich, award-winning actor… Even her scumbag ex-husband joins the fray. "I'm the child's father, Claudia. You can't kick me to the curb after using me!" She doesn't even spare him a glance as she links arms with her new lover. "I won't forgive you, no matter what. So, get lost!"

"The patient is bleeding out! She needs a C-section, stat!""Get her family! We need them to sign the consent form!""Her family isn't here, and we can't get through to them!"The coppery tang of blood filled the air of the VIP delivery room of City Hospital, Briarwood. Doctors and nurses rushed in and out of the doors while Claudia Lowell lay in bed with her legs on stirrups. Blood and other fluids had seeped into the sheets beneath her while the nurses' frantic voices rang out around her."Ms. Lowell, stay with us! Where's your husband? We need him to sign off on the C-section. How can we reach him?""You're losing too much blood, Ms. Lowell! Your blood type is rare. At this rate, the baby will suffocate in the womb, and your life will be in danger too!"Claudia's hair was plastered to her forehead with sweat, making her face look paler. She vaguely recalled that today was Emilia Lowell's birthday. Her family, including her husband and five-year-old son, were probably over at...

Chapter 2
Claudia was tired. She couldn't set her pride aside to plead or bargain with Shawn anymore. She loved him for five years and cherished her parents all her life, but in the end, all they ever cared about was Emilia.The warmth and love they showered Emilia with during the video call was a punch to Claudia's gut. They as good as stabbed her in the heart, and their scathing remarks ringing out from the other line didn't help.Emilia interjected anxiously and apologetically, "I'm sorry, Claudia! I didn't know you were delivering the baby tonight. I'll stop the party and tell Shawn and the others to head to the hospital now! Please don't blame Shawn. Don't divorce him because of me!"Samson was having fun when he heard this and threw a fit. "We're not going anywhere! Come on, Aunt Emmy, it's time to cut the cake! Ignore my mom. She's always trying to get Dad's attention by pulling tricks like that. Don't fall for her act. She won't divorce Dad."Lorraine was indifferent as usual. "That'

Chapter 3
Claudia was pleased with Ethan.It had been a year since she left the Faulkner family and Briarwood and moved back to Glenhallow with her daughter, Isabel Jefferson.However, she didn't stay idle. She went on countless blind dates to find the perfect father figure for Isabel. She even went on a few dates with some of the men, but none of them met her expectations.Nonetheless, Claudia was open to trying things out with a different type of man—specifically Ethan.Now that they reached a deal, Claudia generously transferred ten thousand dollars into his account. "Consider this the initial payment as a show of good faith. You can drive, right? Your job starts tonight; drop me home and meet my daughter."With that, she grabbed her purse and made to leave.Ethan took the car keys without prompting and chivalrously offered Claudia his arm. She took it and allowed him to lead her out of the lounge.When the elevator doors opened, Claudia was surprised to see the father-and-son duo on t

Chapter 4
Shawn thundered, "Claudia!"He wanted to go after the heartless woman and drag her back for a full-blown confrontation, but Samson looked like he was fighting death itself. Shawn's jaw clenched. Not wasting a second longer, he scooped Samson into his arms and hurried toward the black Porsche parked at the entrance."Get us to the nearest hospital now!" he urged.Lucas bolted for the driver's seat while shouting after Claudia, "Mrs. Faulkner! Mr. Samson is convulsing from his fever! Won't you at least look at him? You can't just abandon him like this!"Claudia's flashy sports car was parked beside Shawn's. Her back stiffened when she heard Lucas' desperate plea, but instead of looking out the window, she rolled it up to keep out the noise."Just ignore them and drive, Ethan," she said lightly.Lucas stomped his foot in frustration as Claudia's red sports car whooshed past him and into the distance, but he couldn't afford to dawdle any longer.Shawn was fuming in the backseat of

Chapter 5
When Claudia closed her eyes, all she saw was Samson's pinched, pale little face as he convulsed from his high fever, followed by the hateful gleam in Shawn's eyes.The moment Shawn extended an olive branch and asked Jolene to be Samson's painting instructor, she knew she couldn't hide from him forever. At some point, their paths were bound to cross again.Samson was her own flesh and blood, after all. She poured her blood, sweat, and tears into raising him. She might have walked out on the boy, but her maternal instincts weren't so easily shut down. If anything, they very nearly crushed her last night when she saw him spasming.Bertram sensed that Claudia was distracted and asked, "Worried about the child, are you?"Claudia shook her head firmly. "No." She set her paintbrush down and voiced out her thoughts. "Mr. Jefferson, I was invited to partake in the upcoming International Ink Painting Competition. I figured I'd do some traveling while I'm at it."I was thinking about going

Chapter 6
Rage and derision twisted Claudia's features into a malicious grimace, matching the one Shawn saw on his last video call with her. This confirmed his gut feeling that the woman before him was his supposedly dead wife.He tightened his grip on Claudia's wrist and hissed, "Keeping up the front, are you?"His long, slender fingers reached for her waist. He recalled there was a scar there, marking Claudia's most sensitive spot. On the nights they spent together in the sheets, she would tremble uncontrollably whenever he grazed the scar that ridged her skin."You're most sensitive here, right?" Shawn murmured close to her ear, his warm breath tickling her skin as a wicked smile curled on his lips. "How long do you think you can keep up the act?"He traced her waist with his hand slowly, familiar with the places he mapped from their years together. However, he was stunned when he didn't feel the scar even through the thin fabric of her robe.Shawn froze when he realized there was likely

Chapter 7
Ethan immediately pulled Claudia close and wrapped an arm around her waist. He eyed Shawn warily and growled, "Don't get any funny ideas."Shawn's face darkened even more when he heard this. "You had a home and a family, Claudia, yet you abandoned them for some gigolo?""Please refrain from hurling unwarranted insults, mister," Ethan drawled as he pulled out a piece of paper that looked a lot like a marriage license. Holding it up before Shawn's face, he added, "Jolene and I are legally married."Shawn could practically picture the grins on Ethan's and Claudia's faces when they put their names down on the license. The words "Jolene Jefferson" and "Ethan Brandt" leaped out at him from the paper, and the date of registration was—His heart sank when he saw that the license was dated three years ago.Ethan calmly kept the license aside and said, "I suggest you hire a therapist to help you cope with your grief, Mr. Faulkner. It seems it's getting the better of your sanity."With th

Chapter 8
Shawn's counteroffer was so absurd that even Ethan fumed. He rose to his feet, clenching his fist like he was about to punch Shawn.Claudia's gaze darkened, but before she could refuse Shawn's proposition, he stared at her chillingly and bit out, "I will never agree to your terms, so unless you agree to mine, you won't get your precious Mrs. Jefferson's painting back."Asshole! He was just as much of a bully as before, always resorting to blackmail when he couldn't get what he wanted.She gritted her teeth. She was pondering her next move when an idea suddenly flashed through her mind. The next second, her lips curled as she said, "Fine, then. We'll proceed with your arrangement—three classes a week for your son."Ethan's head whipped to the side as he regarded her with alarm. "Jolene!"Claudia shot him a warning glare, silencing him. He kept his mouth shut from that point onward.Satisfied, Shawn smiled and said, "Very well, then. We have a deal. Now all we have to do is sign th

Emilia continued angrily, "That boy is becoming more impossible by the day! It's like he's become a different person entirely since Claudia died. How am I supposed to cope with that?"And it's been two years, but Shawn hasn't even asked me to marry him! What will I do if things drag on like this?"Lorraine comforted her, saying, "Calm down. You and Shawn grew up together; he shares a special bond with you. As for Claudia, you must understand she was the mother of his child, and it's only natural for him to grieve her departure."But men are fickle creatures, and they move on quickly. Don't worry; I'm sure it won't take long for him to turn around and come back to you."Upon seeing the disgruntled look on Emilia's face, Lorraine grabbed her hand and added patiently, "Don't forget what you're marrying Shawn for. Don't lose sight of your ambitions because of sentiments like Claudia did."Emilia scoffed at this. "Don't worry, Mom. I haven't forgotten our plans. I'm not a fool like Cla

Chapter 10
As doubts and suspicions seized Lorraine, a sudden idea flashed in her mind. Smiling warmly at Claudia, she said, "Well, you must be tired after the long journey to Briarwood, Ms. Jefferson. I trust you will make a wonderful tutor for my grandson. But let's not rush into his lessons for today. You're welcome to join us for a meal, Ms. Jefferson."Claudia was placid as ever as she nodded at Lorraine, accepting the latter's invitation. She knew the meal would be anything but casual, but she didn't balk. The more her enemies tested her, the more magnanimous she had to be.The tension was thick as everyone adjourned to the dining room.Emilia couldn't stop shooting deadly looks at Claudia, jealousy and spite clouding her gaze. Shawn, on the other hand, found himself glancing at Claudia every once in a while, his expression unreadable.Lorraine was the first to break the pregnant silence. "So, Ms. Jefferson, it must be an interesting experience to study under someone as great as Mr. J
