[Prologue]

“Abort your pregnancy.”The voice pierced straight to Victoria's heart. The unexpected yet clear words came from the woman in front of her, Chelsea Lancaster. With trembling hands, Victoria stared at the check lying on the table. The amount written on it was enough to change anyone's life. Enough to buy a mansion, a car, even temporary freedom. But it was not the freedom she wanted. Not the freedom she was looking for.Seeing that the young woman in front of her seemed interested in the check she gave, Chelsea said again. “Take this check, and leave my son. Live well, away from our family. It's the only way out for you.” She folded her arms across her chest, her smile cold and haughty.Victoria stared at the check with a turbulent heart. The hand that had been hesitating, now trembled more strongly. What was Chelsea thinking? Did this woman really believe she could just erase her from their lives? Not to mention her eyes that repeatedly looked at the check and the woman sitting in fro

It was Victoria's only day off. She had deliberately requested a concurrent day off between her work at the clinic and the convenience store, so that she could be with her daughter all day at the hospital. After not seeing Abby for two days, Victoria was determined to make up for it by bringing her daughter's favorite chicken soup that she had prepared since morning.Victoria was busy stirring the pot in the kitchen when a familiar voice interrupted her at the door. “Looks like someone's having fun today,” Lucy Hayes, Victoria's sister, said sarcastically. Lucy stood in the doorway, playing with the ends of her wavy hair as she looked at Victoria with a mocking gaze. Visually, Lucy was beautiful, and it was often a point of comparison for their family.“I'm going to see Abby,” Victoria replied briefly, her focus back on the vegetables she was chopping.“Oh, so the poor sickly child is awake?” commented Lucy in a dismissive tone.Victoria's hands stopped for a moment. She took a deep b

Victoria sat on the spacious terrace with a view of the garden that looked like a living painting. The delicate aroma of green tea mingled with the afternoon air. In front of her, Grace Ashford, an elegant woman with an unwaveringly confident demeanor, sipped tea from a porcelain cup with elegant movements.“How do you feel about living here, Victoria?” Grace started the conversation. Her eyes were sharp, like a hawk watching its prey.Victoria stared into her teacup, searching for the right words. “I'm... still a bit surprised,” she replied. It was the truth Victoria could tell. In just over a week, her life had changed. She used to sleep in a room that was so cramped that even just putting her clothes and bag on it was difficult to sleep freely. She was given a room that had been used as a warehouse. When Victoria protested that Abby was with her, her parents and sister scolded her. They said Victoria was an ignorant woman.Grace chuckled, but it sounded more like mockery. "Surprise

That day, Victoria had prepared herself earlier than usual. Today was her schedule to visit Abigail in the hospital. Anna, her daughter's caregiver, had sent her a photo that morning. In the photo, Abigail looked cheerful with her nanny. Anna also shared the good news that Abigail's condition had stabilized over the past few days.A bright smile was etched on Victoria's face. She made Abigail's favorite food as a small token of attention for her daughter. Not only that, but without realizing it, she also made breakfast for Logan-perhaps in gratitude that he hadn't refused her therapy. Even though their marriage was just a formality, Victoria felt she still had to honor Logan as her husband.Victoria knocked gently on Logan's bedroom door. In her hand was a tray with a cup of hot coffee and toast. “Sir,” she called in a soft voice. “Are you awake?”From inside, Logan's voice rang out, stern as ever. “What's wrong?”The cold tone didn't surprise Victoria. She smiled a little, relieved t

Victoria's conversation with Logan did not go well. The man, as expected, did not believe a word she said.“If you want more money than the compensation I've already given you, just tell me the truth, woman.” Logan gripped Victoria's face quite firmly, making it difficult for her to breathe. The man's blue eyes stared intently, full of anger and contempt. “Don't you dare talk nonsense like this!”After that, Logan pushed Victoria roughly. Although she didn't fall, her body staggered a few steps back.“You have to trust me, Mr. Logan. I wouldn't risk everything with a lie like this,” Victoria said in a pleading tone. She tried to control her breathing, holding back the tears that were about to fall.“Go away!” snapped Logan. “I don't want to hear your bullshit.”There was nothing else Victoria could do but accept reality. With heavy steps, she left the room that felt like a battlefield.Outside, Victoria bumped into Ben. The man's gaze was cold and judgmental, as if he believed Victori
