Chapter 5

Seven years ago, when Caleb first took over the family business, it was my father who used every connection he had to help him stabilize the situation.

Later, when I was kidnapped, it was Caleb who fought his way into the hideout and carried me out on his back.

That day, I cried in his arms, believing I had found the person I could trust for the rest of my life.

And now, for another woman, he had driven us into a dead end.

Fortunately, only three days remained.

I dragged my weakened body back home, only to see piles of luggage thrown out at the door. My chest tightened violently.

Caleb had tossed out everything that belonged to me and my father.

This house was bought with my father’s entire life savings.

What right did Caleb have to throw us out?

I felt as though I could barely breathe. Just as I turned to leave, I caught a glimpse of the scene inside the house through the gap in the door.

Heidi was sitting in Caleb’s lap, feeding him spoonfuls of porridge.

I forced my trembling hands still, raised my phone, and quietly began recording.

Caleb’s hand was wrapped around her waist, fingers wandering restlessly. His voice was low and intimate.

“In those days, I was too poor. I had no choice but to marry for family interests and let you marry someone else. All these years, you’ve suffered.”

Heidi’s face flushed, her expression dripping with sweetness.

“No, even if I married someone else, have we ever stopped talking? The only one who can satisfy me in bed has always been you, Caleb…”

Her words ignited him instantly. Caleb lowered his head and kissed her hungrily.

“When the baby is born, we’ll go abroad together. Alright?”

Heidi let out a soft sound.

“Last time I got pregnant, you forced me to end it. Why do you want this one?”

My heart clenched as if someone had grabbed it.

Half a year ago, she had been pregnant.

That was also the first time I became pregnant, and he forced me into surgery, claiming it would affect his work.

I had always thought he was just ambitious.

But the real reason was that Heidi disagreed.

My fingers shook, but I kept the phone steady.

Heidi buried her head in his chest, her tone dripping with malicious sweetness.

“At that time, we didn’t know whose the baby was. How could I let someone else carry a bastard?”

Then came the sound of sticky kisses.

Heidi’s breathing grew soft and tangled.

“Don’t worry. This time, the baby is ours.”

Her words exploded in my ears, each one like a blade slicing straight into my chest.

I could no longer watch. I lowered my phone and turned to leave.

But my weakened legs gave out. I stepped wrong and knocked over a vase by the door.

It shattered loudly.

Caleb rushed out at once. When he saw how disheveled I was, his expression stiffened for a moment before he shouted,

“What did you do to yourself this time!”

The next second, he dragged Heidi into his arms protectively, his eyes filled only with concern for her.

“Trying to get my sympathy again? Stop using this kind of pathetic trick.”

Heidi recovered quickly and let out a mocking laugh.

“Planning to go to court again and accuse me of hitting your father? Who would believe you?”

I looked at them coldly.

“If your affair goes public, who people believe is another question.”

Caleb’s eyes widened with rage.

“Julia, stop spouting nonsense! I only invited Heidi over for porridge. What filthy thoughts are you imagining?”

“If you would just apologize publicly, we could still live together peacefully. I’ll give you a child. Why won’t you agree?”

I had no interest in arguing with him. I hid my phone securely.

Just then, Heidi spoke softly.

“Caleb, go get another bowl of porridge. Mr. Fang doesn’t seem unreasonable. We can talk calmly.”

As soon as Caleb walked away, she dropped the gentle facade and forced me into the corner.

Her voice was low, like a snake hissing.

“Do you know why I hit your father? Because he deserved it. Who told him to show off in front of me? Caleb belongs to me. Even if he marries you, he is still mine. Your father deserved what happened.”
