I RISK EVERYTHING FOR LOVE YET HE ABANDONED ME AND NOW WANT ME BACK

Lucas POV

Despite the fact that Renee had already left my life, I still couldn’t completely erase her from my heart. No matter how hard I tried, memories of her kept returning to me like a wound that refused to heal.

That night, I sat alone inside my study room, staring coldly at the photographs displayed on my phone screen.

Pictures of Renee in another man’s arms.

Pictures that had been sent anonymously on the very night of our wedding.

Each image burned deeply into my chest like poison.

As if that was not enough, another shocking truth followed immediately after. I was told Renee was never the true daughter of the late billionaire Samuel Hart. According to the information I received, she was only an orphan Samuel had taken in out of pity.

Everything I saw and heard completely changed the way I viewed her.

The woman I once loved suddenly became a stranger in my eyes.

A soft knock interrupted my thoughts.

“Come in,” I said coldly.

The door opened, and my mother, Clara Williams, walked inside elegantly.

“You are still thinking about Renee?” she asked with disgust written all over her face. “That shameless woman is no longer worth your attention.”

I remained silent.

Clara slowly sat opposite me.

“We should be grateful the truth was exposed before it became too late,” she continued. “At least she already transferred Samuel’s company ownership to the Williams family before leaving. Now all you need is to focus on Jessica. She is the only woman worthy of becoming the daughter-in-law of this family.”

I leaned back against my chair and sighed heavily.

“We can never accept someone like Renee into this family,” my mother continued bitterly. “And very soon, the entire world will know she was never Samuel’s biological daughter. Once her fake identity is exposed, she will have nothing left.”

Her words echoed in my mind.

Still, something inside me felt unsettled.

“Mother,” I finally spoke, “do you truly believe Renee is capable of everything she was accused of?”

Clara frowned slightly.

“What do you mean?”

“I keep wondering who has been sending those pictures and messages to me,” I said slowly. “Something about this entire situation doesn’t feel right.”

“Well, whoever sent them clearly knows her very well,” Clara replied quickly. “Perhaps one of her relatives or someone close to her.”

I lowered my gaze.

“To be honest… I truly loved Renee,” I admitted quietly. “Maybe even more than I ever loved Jessica. But after seeing those pictures that night, everything about her started irritating me. I hated myself for loving her that deeply.”

Clara shook her head.

“She deceived you, Lucas. A woman like that deserves whatever suffering comes her way.”

Then suddenly, my mother brought out a folded document from her handbag and placed it on the table.

“What is this?” I asked.

“This is what I found where Renee stood before leaving the mansion,” she replied.

I opened the document carefully.

The moment my eyes landed on the result, my heartbeat paused.

Pregnancy Test Result — Positive.

My eyes widened slightly.

“She was pregnant?” I muttered.

A strange feeling rose inside my chest instantly.

For a brief moment… I almost felt happy.

But Clara immediately destroyed that feeling.

“That child does not belong to you,” she said firmly. “It belongs to the man she cheated on you with. Don’t be foolish enough to celebrate another man’s child.”

I clenched the paper tightly in silence.

Part of me wanted to believe my mother.

But another part of me refused to accept it completely.

Before I could think further, the door suddenly opened again.

Jessica walked in with a bright smile on her face.

“Lucas,” she called softly. “I have good news.”

I looked up at her.

“What is it?”

Jessica slowly handed over another medical report.

“I’m pregnant.”

The moment I saw the result, Clara immediately stood up excitedly.

“The true heir of the Williams family!” she exclaimed happily.

Jessica blushed shyly while holding her stomach gently.

“You have truly proven yourself worthy of this family,” Clara praised her warmly. “Just within one month, you’re already carrying Lucas’s child.”

A proud smile spread across Jessica’s face.

For the first time in days, the tension inside the mansion seemed to disappear.

I looked at Jessica quietly before speaking.

“I have a surprise for you.”

Her eyes brightened immediately.

“A surprise?”

I nodded slightly before taking out my phone.

Within minutes, the sound of a car horn echoed outside the mansion.

Jessica looked confused.

“What’s going on?”

I stood up and walked toward her.

“Close your eyes,” I told her gently.

She smiled excitedly before obeying.

I carefully held her hand and led her outside the mansion while Clara followed behind us happily.

The cool evening breeze moved softly around us as we stepped into the front compound.

The brand-new luxury car was already parked proudly in front of the mansion entrance.

A latest black BMW series.

The exact model Jessica had admired countless times online.

I stopped walking.

“Open your eyes.”

Jessica slowly opened them.

The moment she saw the car, her mouth fell open in complete shock.

“Oh my God…”

Her hands instantly covered her lips.

“Lucas… is this… really mine?”

I slipped the car keys into her palm.

“Yes. It’s yours.”

Jessica screamed excitedly before throwing her arms around my neck tightly.

“I can’t believe this!” she cried happily. “Lucas, thank you so much!”

Clara smiled proudly from behind.

“I told you my son would never disappoint you.”

Jessica quickly rushed toward the car, touching every part of it excitedly like a dream she never wanted to wake up from.

Tears of happiness filled her eyes.

“This is the exact car I wanted…” she whispered emotionally.

I watched her quietly.

For that moment, Jessica looked truly happy.

Yet strangely…

Even while standing beside her, my mind still wandered back to Renee.

And deep down inside me…

Something felt terribly wrong.
