When Love Descends Into Darkness Chapter 4
Caleb must have given Yvette instructions because she no longer taunted me, although she lived in this house. She just acted like I didn't exist.Every day, I racked my brain, searching for a way to reach the outside world. Eventually, I thought of Yvette.But to my surprise, she refused me outright."Natalie, I have to listen to Caleb. You don't understand what we have. As long as it's what he wants, I'll do whatever it takes to make it happen."It seemed like she wasn't trying to provoke me—her eyes told me that much. That unwavering determination wasn't something that could be faked.Maybe I had been wrong about them. The bond between Caleb and Yvette was unbreakable and built on a trust so deep that nothing could shake it. It was deep that Caleb would rather sacrifice his own wife and child than betray her.Every night when he got home, he went straight to Yvette's room. He would sit by her bedside, carefully feed her warm milk, and stay until she fell asleep.By the time

The moment I grabbed my phone, I sighed in relief.No one knew that I—an orphan—had found my biological parents a year ago. But back then, I had been blindly and hopelessly in love with Caleb, so I hadn't reunited with them. Thus, they had left me a phone number, telling me to call them if I ever needed anything and that they would always be there for me.I used to believe Caleb would protect me forever. Now, I saw how pathetic I had been to think that. My biggest mistake wasn't just loving the wrong man—it was handing over my entire life and love to someone who had never had a heart to begin with.When Yvette was six months pregnant, she asked Caleb to go abroad with her to ensure a smooth pregnancy. He agreed without hesitation. Not only that, but he bought her a house overseas, making sure she was as comfortable as possible.Before leaving, he told me, "Natalie, just stay home and take care of yourself. I'll be there when the baby is born. Once Yvette gives birth, everythi

I didn't look back at their faces. Without hesitation, I turned and walked into the operating room. I couldn't wait for the day they finally discovered the truth.Lying on the cold surgical table, I felt a life slipping away from me. This baby was never meant to be, but still, I couldn't stop the sobs from breaking free.When I woke up, two blurry figures stood by my side."Nat, I'm so sorry I was late. You must be in pain," Mom said.Mom's hand trembled as she stroked my hair gently. I gave her a faint smile, and tears streamed down her face in an instant.Dad's eyes turned crimson, and his anger was barely contained. "Nat, I swear—I won't let a single one of those people who hurt you go unpunished. Don't worry. As long as we're here, no one will ever hurt you again. We'll always be by your side!"At that moment, I finally felt what it meant to have a family. I was no longer an orphan. I had my parents with me, and they would never abandon me.When I had been young, I had often

During Caleb's time abroad, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.That day, I was eerily calm. For a man who was always in control, that kind of composure unsettled him.He had called me over a dozen times, but I never picked up. His unease worsened. Eventually, he couldn't take it anymore—he had to come back and check on me."Caleb, please don't go. How am I supposed to live alone in a foreign country? I'm scared..." Tears streaked down Yvette's face as she clung to him. Her eyes, filled with pain and accusation, made his chest tighten.His heart ached, and he pulled her into his arms to stroke her back. His voice softened. "I'm just going to check on Natalie. I'll come right back to be with you, I promise."But Yvette only sobbed harder. "Natalie has the housekeeper and Mrs. Lawson caring for her. She'll be fine. But I only have you, Caleb. What am I supposed to do if you leave?"Her baby bump had gotten bigger, making it harder for her to walk or sleep.Her

Three months passed, and Yvette gave birth to a baby boy.Caleb was over the moon. He doted on Yvette even more and granted her every wish. But with her still recovering and the baby still too young to travel, there was no way he could leave.And every time he so much as mentioned worrying about me, Yvette's eyes would brim with tears, forcing him to push everything else aside and stay with her.It wasn't until he heard from the nanny that I had also given birth—to a son—that he finally let out a breath of relief."Caleb, will you love Natalie's child more than mine?" Yvette asked.The question caught Caleb off guard. After all, wouldn't any father love his own child? Although he had already decided to raise Yvette's son as his own, there was still a difference.At the sight of his hesitation, Yvette's face crumpled. The moment she started crying, the baby followed. Their tears made Caleb flustered."I won't. I love both of them. Yvie, don't worry. I promised you before, and tha

Caleb shoved Patricia without warning, nearly knocking her over. The baby slipped from her arms, hitting the floor with a wail that pierced the air.Irritated, Caleb snapped, "Stop crying! Is that all you know how to do? Shut up!"But the infant was too young to understand and only wailed louder.Frank's heart clenched. Without hesitation, he scooped up the baby and slapped Caleb across the face."Have you lost your damn mind? That's your son—the first grandson of the Lawson family!"A satisfied smirk flickered across Patricia's lips for a split second, but it vanished the moment she met Caleb's icy stare.That slap had snapped him back to reality. Images of Natalie's pregnancy flashed through his mind.What the hell had he been thinking? He let his wife be branded a cheater and let his own son be called a fatherless child.Then, suddenly, he laughed. It was a bitter and hollow laugh that brought tears to his eyes."My child? Hahaha!"Everyone looked at him in confusion as Ca

I never truly understood the power Mom and Dad held until they brought me home. Even if the Lawson family multiplied tenfold, they still wouldn't have come close.The estate before me looked like an actual castle, complete with multiple grand gates just to get inside.By some twist of fate, Dad's last name was also Sinclair, so I didn't even have to change mine.The Sinclair family was centuries old, with its influence stretching globally. But for all its wealth and power, it was a bloodline that ran surprisingly thin.Among Dad's generation, none of his brothers had children—only he did. And that child was me, making me the sole heir to an empire.From the moment I had gone missing, Mom and Dad had never stopped searching for me. Now that I was finally back, they—and the entire family—pinned all their hopes on me.After I had a brief reunion with my loved ones, Dad immediately began grooming me as his successor, determined to make up for the 20-something years of my life we'd mi

I ended up marrying Christopher, the man Dad introduced me to, and a year later, we had twins—a boy and a girl.When the kids turned three, I returned to my home country with Mom and Dad. Stepping back onto familiar ground, I felt different. The last time I had left, I'd had nothing but scars and a deep sense of helplessness. Now, everything had changed. I had loving parents, a devoted husband, and two beautiful children. I had the purest love in the world and everything I had ever dreamed of.One day, while taking a walk with my family, I unexpectedly ran into Yvette.Her face was pale and gaunt, and her tangled hair was a wild mess. Her clothes were so filthy that their original color was impossible to discern.She was on the ground, curled up, as a man kicked her over and over again."Where's the money? Give it to me! You useless bitch—marrying you ruined my damn life!"Yvette let out a piercing scream. A small boy, no older than six or seven, rushed forward to pull the ma

That thought crept into my mind again. I blinked against the burning sting in my eyes, despair written all over my face."Then let's just get rid of our baby," I said."No way!" Caleb rejected the idea immediately. His tone even carried a hint of reprimand. "Stop being so stubborn. Yvie and her baby are innocent. Why are you being so demanding?""But my baby and I are innocent too! Have you even thought about what kind of life they'll face once they're born?""I'll take care of it. How many times do I have to say it? Natalie, you never fail to disappoint me." With that, Caleb turned and walked out after slamming the door shut.The following day, I woke up to find a dozen bodyguards stationed around the room. My phone and laptop were gone, completely cutting me off from the world. I wasn't even allowed to leave the house. Caleb was afraid I would abort the baby. But the irony was, he already had a child—at least in name.I was trapped and locked away until my belly swelled and
