Chapter 1

When I was eight months pregnant with my child, I received an alert notification from my husband’s car system saying that his car had exploded. When I rushed to the location to the parking lot, I was shocked to find my husband and my stepsister were having sex in the car.

My stepsister, Celine Llewelyn, asked smugly with a flushed face, “James, wouldn’t Adrianne hate us to death if she knew that all ten of her miscarriages were because you gave those embryos to me for experiments?”

My husband, James Goldwyn, just smirked in response.

“She’s just a lab rat. Even if she knew, what could she do? Everything I have belongs to you and our child. When this baby she’s carrying also miscarries, I’ll use her infertility as a reason to throw her out.”

“Only then I can be with you forever,” he continued.

His movements grew faster as he responded. Soon enough, they both reached their climax. Tears streamed down my face as I watched them.

This marriage had been a lie from the beginning.

Even my unborn children were nothing but guinea pigs. It seemed that Celine believed she had taken everything from me. What she didn’t know was that my real father had returned just a week earlier. He was the CEO of a multinational company.

I had made my decision to end this nightmare of a marriage. So, I took out my phone to call my father.

“Dad, you once asked me to come live with you. I agree now. But I have one request. Cancel your partnership with the Goldwyn Group. I want James to lose everything!”

After I ended the call, I booked a flight for one month later. Once the divorce papers were finalized, I could finally leave James. But after I really left, he appeared again before me as he begged to get back together with eyes full of regret.

***

“Miss Abernathy, your resignation papers have been sent to Mr. Goldwyn. Only after he signs them, you can leave the company.”

I just stared at the document in front of me and nodded calmly, responding, “Thank you.”

Meanwhile, the head of HR Department couldn’t help but sigh as he asked, “Miss Abernathy, aren’t you and Mr. Goldwyn married? Why make such a big scene? Should I remind Mr. Goldwyn? After all, he still cares about you.”

I gave a sneer when I heard it.

If someone had told me that before I learned the truth, I would’ve believed it. I always thought James Goldwyn was just not good with words. But his love for me was as strong as mine for him. I truly believed we loved each other deeply.

Even after ten miscarriages because of the so-called genetic problems, I never gave up trying to give him a child. James always looked at me with guilt and pain, blaming himself for everything. I thought he loved me more than his own life.

That was until I caught him with Celine Llewelyn, my stepsister, in the parking lot.

That was when I finally learned the truth. All ten of my children were taken from me by their own father because Celine needed test subjects.

They hadn’t even planned to spare the babythat I had been carrying. Together, they wanted to destroy me and take everything that was mine.

But now that I knew the truth, they were the ones who would lose everything!

With that thought, I took the resignation letter and shook my head at the head of HR.

“No need. James will find out soon.”

Holding both the resignation and divorce papers, I walked into the office. I didn’t knock the door. When I stepped inside, James and Celine were in each other’s arms. The moment I looked up, they just finished kissing.

Celine flashed me a fake smile as she said, “Adrianne, don’t misunderstand. I almost fell just now, but I was lucky that James caught me in time.”

James walked over smoothly and pulled me into his arms, telling me, “Adrianne, I missed you so much. Don’t stay away for so long next time.”

Their pretension worked perfectly. Once Celine said that, she quickly left the office. I couldn’t help but notice how faint her lipstick was. In fact, it was barely visible. Their behavior was so obvious. But it I had just been too blind to see it before.

Before reaching the door, Celine turned back with a mocking smile as she then spoke, “Oh, Adrianne, your baby’s already eight months along. Let me take over the Venus Group project you’re handling. James already agreed. I’ve spent so much time and effort on this too, after all.”

As she spoke, she licked her lips seductively. Immediately, James’ body stiffened when he held me. I could feel his erection. They dared to flirt right in front of me!

I couldn’t hold it in anymore, so I quickly pushed James away. His eyes flashed with annoyance, but he then forced a smile.

“Adrianne, Celine has a point. Your body can’t handle stress right now. Besides, Celine is the famous perfumer Queen. As a perfumer yourself, you should know how talented she is. The Venus Group partnered with us because of her.”

“That’s why you need to let Celine take over the project. You’re not that gifted in perfumery anyway. It’s better for you to focus on the baby.”

A flicker of contempt appeared in his eyes. I couldn’t help but scoff in silence. It turned out that Celine dared to pretend to be me when I was the real Queen!

Back then, the Goldwyn Group would’ve gone bankrupt long ago if I hadn’t joined the Goldwyn Group and brought my own perfume formulas. I kept my identity secret because I didn’t want to pressure James. I never thought he’d believe Celine’s lies without question.

Venus Group wanted to work with me, the real Queen, not Celine. If I left, the deal would collapse. Coincidentally, the contract was due in just one month.

So, I gave a cold smile and agreed easily.

“Alright, I’ll let her take over tomorrow.”

James looked thrilled, but he then asked, “Why not today?”

I nodded indifferently. Just then, his phone rang. James frowned, but he then answered it. It was a multimedia message. A photo of Celine in revealing clothes.

He quickly locked the screen, but I had already seen it. Pretending not to notice, I handed him the resignation and divorce papers.

“What’s this?” he asked, reaching for them.

“Just some documents that need your signature,” I said calmly.

His phone rang again. He answered, lowering the volume, but Celine’s flirtatious voice still carried through.

“James, didn’t you see the pictures I sent? I’m waiting at the usual place. If you don’t come soon, someone else might take your spot.”

After hearing that, James moved fast after he heard Celine. He rushed to sign his name without even checking what the papers were. Then, he pushed me away without a second thought. My back hit the sharp edge of the desk. A pain shot through me so suddenly to my head. It caused my vision to be blur because of the pain. Yet, James didn’t even bother to look at me.

He then nervously told me, “Adrianne, the documents are signed. I have things to do. I’m leaving.”

Without further ado, James hurried out. I knew he was going to continue his affair with Celine. A few minutes later, my phone buzzed. It was a message from an unknown number, showing a picture of James lying on top of Celine.

I didn’t react. Instead, I just saved the photo. After that, I made an appointment at the hospital for an abortion. I had conceived this child out of love for James.

But since that love was gone, I couldn’t keep the baby. As I was wheeled into the operating room, tears filled my eyes. Just then, my phone rang again.

“Adrianne, the baby you’re carrying is mine. Please don’t abort our baby!”
