Giselle's POVThe sterile scent of antiseptic hung in the air as I sat on the hospital bed, my heart racing with anticipation. The doctor had just walked in, her kind eyes crinkling as she glanced at the file in her hands."Congratulations, Mrs. Von Howard," she said warmly, her voice pulling me out of my thoughts. "You're pregnant."Pregnant. The word echoed in my mind, a mix of disbelief and excitement surging through me. I stared at her, my breath caught in my chest."I'm pregnant?" I whispered, my hand instinctively moving to my stomach."Yes," the doctor confirmed with a smile. "About seven weeks along. Make sure you get plenty of rest, eat well, and avoid stress. It's crucial for both you and the baby."I nodded, my hand still resting on my stomach, where a tiny life was beginning to grow. A rush of emotions overwhelmed me—joy, disbelief, and a deep longing to share this moment with Patrick, my husband."I didn’t think it was possible," I murmured, my voice barely audible.The d

Giselle’s POV“Nothing,” Patrick said quickly, though his tone was uncertain.A single tear slid down my cheek as I stared at the phone lying beside me. l pick up my phone with my pulse and head back homeBack at Hilton's mansion, I was in my bedroom on the call with My brother Nicholas. I pressed my phone against my ear, trying to keep my voice steady despite the turmoil inside me. “Nicky, you have to trust me. Okay? I know what I’m doing.”Nicholas’ tone was sharp, his concern palpable even through the phone. “Why are you back at the Hilton’s place afterPatrick sent you those vile text messages? Gigi, this is insane!”“I just have to look at his face,” I replied, my voice barely above a whisper. “I need to look into his eyes and hear it from him. I know you're hurt. Confirming him like that will not gain you anything. Clearly, he has cheated on you. Gigi, please come back home.“I can’t,” I said firmly, my hands trembling as I gripped the phone tighter. “Not until I know the truth.

Giselle’s POVI could still feel the sting of the shattered glass in my hand and the cold, hard marble against my skin when, through the chaotic din of whispered insults and desperate sobs, I saw him—the man who had become the axis of my torment. Amid the fractured laughter, murmurs, and bitter declarations, Patrick suddenly appeared. His expression, at first unreadable, shifted instantly as he took in the scene before him. Becky, eyes glistening with tears, her face contorted in anguish as she wept quietly in a corner of the lavish hall, and me, sprawled on the floor with my injured hand clutched against my chest.Patrick’s concern was immediate, his steps urgent as he rushed to Becky’s side. He knelt, enveloping her in a protective embrace and murmuring, “Are you alright?” His tone was frantic with worry as he cradled her gently, his eyes never once lingering on my broken form on the floor. For a fleeting, agonizing moment, I thought I saw a shadow of regret cross his features—but t

Patrick's POVI stood at the entrance of my mansion, my eyes locked on the tail lights of the car as it disappeared down the long driveway. The cold evening breeze, swept past me, but I barely felt it. My hands curls into a fist at my sides.She left. Just like that.I expected screaming. Tears. Maybe even a slap. Giselle just left.It made no sense. Wasn't she supposed to fight for me?To beg? To demand for an explanation?But instead, she walked away like I meant nothing. Like we were nothing.A bitter chuckle escaped my lips. So, she gave up on me that easily? Over what? A handsome face guy.She must be joking. She'd be back. She always comes back. And I'll be here when she does. I thought to myself. I slow mocking voice broke my thought."She'll be back to beg soon. " My mother, Karen said, stepping beside me.I didn't turn to look at her. I knew that smug expression was on her face, the one she always wore when things were going her way."She's not only useless but she's a whore too.

Giselle's POV Dad smiled, a peace, satisfied smile. "That's my girl" he said.Nicholas immediately jumped into the conversation to elaborate more. " The entire city will be there, Gigi." Nicholas said, his voice filled with an almost boyish enthusiasm. "Politicians, business moguls, aristocrats, all the prominent families in the city." My heart swelled a little at the thought. It was finally happening.For years, I had been the hidden heiress, the whispered name in the society circles. People had speculated about me. Painted their own version of who I was but no one had eventually see me. Even if they did, I didn't look it. Until now."This will be a grand debut," father added, his voice rich and stead."And as the Von Heiress, you must look your absolute best. We've arranged for the best designers, jewelers and stylist." I sat up slightly, my excitement growing. "Father, I don't need a grand entrance." I said, though deep down, I knew I didn't entirely mean it. "You underestimate ho
