My Endless Sorrow
The woman Lucas Kingston kept by his side was pregnant.
When I found out, I was shocked to realize that she was just as far along as I was.
In front of me, she gently caressed her rounded belly before settling herself onto Lucas’s lap.
"I heard that Miss Carter’s equestrian skills rival those of men. I’m quite curious and would love to see it for myself. Lucas, could you ask her to give us a demonstration?
“If she manages to please me…" She leaned in closer to him, her voice seductive.
"Tonight, you can have whatever you want."
Lucas’s gaze turned icy as it landed on me.
Though he said nothing, everyone present understood his intent.
My face drained of color as I pleaded desperately, "Lucas, please don’t do this! I’ll lose the baby!"
Laughter rippled through the crowd, while Lucas merely looked at me with disdain.
"If you lose it, you can always have another. Now get on the horse! If you can’t entertain her properly, don’t even think about leaving this racetrack tonight!"
The moment his words left his mouth, several people grabbed me and forced me onto the saddle.
The startled horse reared and took off in a frenzy. Every jolt sent unbearable pain through my abdomen.
I glanced back.
From the viewing platform, the two of them were already locked in a passionate embrace.
Clutching the reins with all my strength, I forced a bitter smile.
This was the seventh time. And the last.
From that moment on, I would never humiliate myself for anyone again.
