All Chapters of My Husband’s First Love Beat Me into Miscarriage: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

'My savior's here!' A glimmer of hope surfaced in my heart, as I summoned all my courage to sit up.However, Melissa relaxed when she saw who had come. Standing in the doorway were a few unfamiliar faces, and she greeted them with a pleasant smile. My grip on my purse tightened, and I secretly reached out for my phone.With a mocking glint, Melissa crouched down beside me. "What's up? Judging from your depression, you've bribed some of Grady's employees, right? No wonder you dared to barge into the company."Her laughter was as frigid as the wintry winds, and she gleamed with satisfaction. "The team of specialists? I brought them back from abroad for the company's sake. Without me, they'd still be struggling with their technological issues." She pinched my chin, her sharp nails digging deep into my skin. Sighing, she feigned pity. "You know, you have such a pretty face, but is that all you've got? What if I accidentally scald your face? I wonder whether it'll make you look even

Feeling in despair, I repeated the truth—over and over again."You're lying. Everyone knows that the ring he usually wears isn't this one," Melissa sneered, her gaze dripping with mock sympathy. "Honestly, it's like you've barely even met him to lie like this."Grady cherished this ring, only wearing it on special occasions. Most of the time, he wore the simple ring I gave him when we first got together. Yet, I could see the picture now—Melissa would only believe what she wanted to believe, and explaining was just a waste of time."Just give it back, please? I'll give you whatever you want… or perhaps, we can trade? I'll give you something in exchange." I tugged at her sleeve, my voice filled with desperation.She laughed suddenly, her eyes glinting with cruel amusement. "Are you really obsessed with this? You behave as if you'd steal his clothes to have a whiff of his bodily scent. Are you that thirsty for a man?" She covered her mouth with a giggle, pretending to consider my offe

"The meeting is about to wrap up. They want details on the cooperation on new technology. Can you send me a copy of the document?" Grady's voice sounded tired.Melissa coordinated with him professionally. She even acted considerate and told him to rest well.Then, she glanced at me out of the corner of her eye and said with a smile, "Grady, a woman had caused a scene in your office today. She claimed to have your child. What should I do?"Hearing her words, I bit my lip hard and felt hatred consume me.As I expected, Grady went silent for a moment before saying in disdain, "Do whatever you need to do. Don't let it get big."'How ironic,' I thought.However, it wasn't because Grady didn't care about me. On the contrary, he cared for me very much.Ever since we failed to have a child for years, we had come to an unspoken agreement as to not to discuss the topic of children. Whenever someone brought it up, we would change the subject. Thus, Grady's reaction just now was likely out

In the end, the baby didn't make it.As I placed my hand on my now empty belly, I looked into the void.I wanted to cry, but I had no more tears to shed. Perhaps they had dried up during that endless pleading.Given my poor health condition, conceiving this child had been nearly impossible. Yet, I was unable to protect it. The doctor told me that there was a possibility I could get pregnant again in the future when the medical industry became more advanced. However, I knew my chances of conceiving again were nearly nonexistent.All those involved in the incident received summonses that very day. Then, they visited me and begged for forgiveness. However, I treated them with the same cold attitude they had shown me before.Only Melissa managed to slip away.Years ago, she had been involved in a bullying scandal at school. However, she got away with it with the help of a forged mental health diagnosis. Then, she fled abroad until everything was settled.This time, she tried to pull
