Chapter 11

Nathan walked with light steps into his family's luxurious mansion. A smile spread across his lips as he saw a middle-aged woman sitting on the living room sofa, savoring a cup of green tea.His mood was lifted, simply because he heard that his wife had provided breast milk for their baby. The anger that had once peaked vanished in an instant. "Did you just come back from the hospital?" asked Madison. Seeing the happiness radiating from her handsome son's face, she knew that Nathan was in a good mood. "Yes, Mom," Nathan replied with a smile. He then sat on a different sofa in front of the beautiful woman, despite her age. "How is my grandson?" Madison inquired about her grandson. "Robert said that my child's condition has greatly improved. His weight has increased by 300 grams." "Really? I'm so happy to hear that. Tomorrow, I'll go to the hospital; I miss seeing him." The news Nathan brought truly made Madison happy. For the past two days, she hadn't been to the hospital

Chapter 12

After three days of taking the medication prescribed by Dr. Robert, Ellie felt a noticeable improvement in her foot. She could finally put weight on it while walking. But the medication made her drowsy. Or maybe it wasn't just the pills—maybe it was the emptiness of having nothing to do. She used to have Nick to care for. Changing his pants whenever he peed, bathing him, playing with her sweet little boy. Now, all of it was just a memory. She wanted to accept it. But it was so hard. "Nick… I miss you. I miss you so much." She gazed at her son's photo, her fingers gently tracing his tiny face. If only she'd had a smartphone back then, she would have captured hundreds of pictures of him. She could have watched videos of his first giggles, his cries, the way he kicked his legs when he was excited, the moment he first learned to roll over. But she never got to document those moments. All she had was an outdated phone. Ellie only had four printed photos of Nick—fo

Ellie froze as Tory’s sharp words cut through her like shards of glass.“I don’t need to either. I don’t like being touched by someone like you,” Simon’s other sister, Tina, added coldly. Both women looked at her with pure disgust.Ellie simply nodded in understanding and turned toward the kitchen to make a drink.She was used to the insults, the mockery. She had heard them countless times before.But that didn’t make them hurt any less.Especially now—when her emotions were already fragile, shattered by the unbearable loss of her son.Ellie rushed to the kitchen. She didn’t immediately start making the drinks—she cried first. Sometimes, she wondered how much longer she could endure this family. A family that never missed a chance to insult and belittle her. A family that claimed to value education but treated people like animals. Was this what highly educated people were supposed to be like? She quickly wiped her tears away when she heard Wendy calling her name. “Hurry u

Like being struck by lightning in broad daylight, the news was utterly shocking. Ellie's heart stopped for a moment. "Please, listen to my explanation." Simon reached for Ellie's trembling hand. She remained silent, unable to utter a single word. The shock was so overwhelming that her entire body shook. Was this what they called betrayal? Had Simon cheated on her? But since when? "You're joking, right?" Ellie forced a smile, hoping Simon was just messing with her. "No, I'm not," he said, his tone firm. "I'm serious. We got married a month ago." The tears she had been holding back finally spilled down her cheeks as Simon's confession sank in. How could he do this? Their relationship had been so good. "I'm sorry, I didn't know Simon was already married. And I'm also sorry about your son's death." Melissa's voice was laced with false sympathy. "That night, Simon was at my apartment. I heard his phone ringing. I saw it was you calling, but he was already asleep, and I couldn't

"You shouldn't have brought me here," Matthew said weakly, his voice trembling. He was useless now, just a broken man watching his family fall apart.He had failed—not just as a father but as a husband too. He had failed to raise his children properly."If it weren't for this stupid woman, Simon wouldn't have done something like this with another girl," Wendy spat, jabbing a finger at Ellie as if she were the root of all their problems.Matthew's tired eyes lifted to his wife. "So now you're excusing our son's actions?" His voice was rough, filled with bitter disappointment."I'm not excusing him," Wendy snapped. "But Simon isn't wrong. It's this damn daughter-in-law who's the problem—she's the one ruining our family's name."Melissa stood quietly to the side, watching it all unfold.She felt lucky to have a mother-in-law like Wendy. No matter how wrong her children were, in Wendy's eyes, they were always right.Matthew clutched his chest, feeling a sharp pain tighten in his rib

Chapter 16

The flash of anger and hatred was clearly visible in Ellie's eyes. There was nothing left to think about. She could go anywhere even though she had nothing. She wanted to escape from the vicious cycle created by her husband.Simon's heart pounded when he heard Ellie's words. No matter how many wounds he inflicted on his naive wife's heart, she would foolishly stay. He was sure Ellie would never ask for a divorce because she loved him so much. Besides, Ellie had no one else but him. He would never divorce and let Ellie go."Ellie, I'm sorry. I promise to be fair," Simon said earnestly, holding Ellie's hand tightly."I just want a divorce. So divorce me right now," Ellie said loudly. She would never accept being in a polygamous marriage.She had just held the marriage certificate, but soon she would hold the divorce papers. It made her sad, but it was better than staying in a family with a heart of stone."Ellie, please forgive me. Honestly, I never intended to cheat. At first, we w

"Divorce?" Wendy scoffed. "You say it so easily. If you want to leave Simon, then pay off the $2,700 debt from delivering your baby first."Ellie froze. Debt? What debt?Wendy casually pulled a document from her bag and held it out for Ellie to see."When you gave birth, Simon only had $300. The remaining $1,700 was a loan from me," she explained smoothly. "According to this agreement, you owe me that amount—with a 10% interest per month. Since you haven't paid for three months, there's a $500 late fee and $500 in accumulated interest. That brings the total to $2,700.""After the reception and their honeymoon, you'll be staying at my house."Wendy smiled at Ellie, completely unfazed by her pale, stricken face. There wasn't an ounce of pity in her eyes.In fact, she couldn't wait for Ellie to move into her house. With Ellie around, she could save the $300 a month she spent on two household assistants. And even better—she wouldn't have to go through the trouble of hiring a caretake

"Let's just wait," Wendy said firmly. "I don't want my daughter-in-law to have surgery."The midwife exhaled sharply, then pulled out a document. "If the family refuses hospital treatment, you must sign this statement rejecting the referral," she said, placing the paper in front of Simon.Simon hesitated, staring at the form. His hands trembled slightly. What if something went wrong? What if he lost both his wife and child because he failed to make the right decision?Sensing his doubt, Wendy scoffed. "It's fine—just sign it," she said dismissively. "Childbirth is always like this. Women in the past went through labor for days, even weeks, and they were fine."Your wife is just being dramatic. The pain isn't that bad."Her words were void of pity, empathy, or even basic humanity.Despite the gnawing worry for his wife and unborn child, Simon signed the statement, choosing to obey his mother over his own instincts.If he had reported Ellie's pregnancy to his company, her childbirt

Ellie could no longer bear the pain and dizziness. The moment Simon's family left, she collapsed. She had no idea how long she remained unconscious, but when she finally woke, her body trembled from the cold. She hadn't moved an inch. Simon had left without even bothering to carry her to the bed.If only he had never spoken those words of love, the pain wouldn't cut this deep.A vacant stare settled on her face, a faint smile tugging at her lips as Melissa's words echoed in her mind. Ellie no longer cried—her tears had long dried. She had endured too much, fought too hard.Before their marriage, Simon's family strongly rejected Ellie. Still, they wed in a private ceremony and maintained a long-distance relationship. Despite the challenges, Ellie felt deeply grateful to be Simon's wife. He never complained about the distance and even encouraged her to stay with her sick mother.But at seven months pregnant, everything changed. Simon stopped touching her. Desperate for his attention,

Chapter 20

Nathan sneered at the sound of Sally's voice. For a moment, he had thought she was calling to ask about their son—but of course, she wasn't.After three weeks of silence, she finally reached out—only to ask for money."Money?" Nathan echoed, his voice edged with disbelief."Yes, honey, my monthly allowance," Sally whined.Nathan clenched his jaw. "What exactly are you asking for?""Honey, why did you freeze all my cards and stop sending my allowance?" she demanded. "The money should have been in my account by the 5th, but it's already the 10th! This month, I need a hundred thousand dollars. I have a lot of expenses."She huffed before continuing. "Actually, a hundred thousand isn't enough. I need two hundred fifty thousand. I want new shoes, bags, jewelry—just the basics."Sally was furious. Without her credit card or monthly allowance, she couldn't shop, party, or hit the clubs like she used to. Her contract money was already gone."A famous international artist with no money—
