Chapter 2

"Liam, you know what? I have ten thousand ways to make this evil creature die quietly. I advise you to be obedient. Maybe when I'm in a good mood, I'll look at the child more after he is born."

I also thought about whether I should let her beat the child and let both of us go.

But no matter how many times I scheduled an induced abortion for her, Mrs. Sterling would find out and I would have to give up.

In order to get rid of the child, she secretly beat her belly, deliberately fell from a high place, and even deliberately rolled down the stairs while climbing a mountain. The child stubbornly stayed in her belly.

Even those men tried many times to impersonate me and get rid of the child, but no one succeeded.

Every time, she was covered in wounds, but the child was unharmed. The most serious time was when she had spotting for a long time.

Mrs. Sterling made a big fuss and invited hundreds of doctors, fearing that something might happen to our child.

In the end, the doctors congratulated us and said that the child was growing so well!

At that moment, I suddenly felt relieved.

Even if Victoria doesn't love our child, I can give him all my love.

I just thought that I was asking Victoria to give birth to my child.

But who would have thought that her daughter suffered so much in her womb, but was safe and sound, and finally died in Victoria's hands.

Thinking of this, I quickly deleted my Twitter account and burned my diary. All traces of my love for her were gone.

As for the daughter in her belly, I don’t want to make her suffer any more.

Just as I was about to go out to buy medicine, the doorbell rang.

This time, the Sterling family arrived faster than in the previous life.

You can't escape what you have to face.

The person outside the door was not Mrs. Sterling as I expected, but Victoria's younger brother Ethan Sterling.

Without saying anything, he raised his hand and slapped me:

"Liam you're an ungrateful bastard. My sister took pity on you and adopted you, and this is how you repay her?"

I swallowed the blood in my mouth and asked him in confusion:

"Ethan, did you misunderstand me?"

Before Victoria and I had any physical contact, she was very nice to me.

So good that Ethan was jealous of Victoria's kindness to me and was particularly unhappy with me.

At this moment, Ethan looked as if he had seen a ghost, with question marks all over his face.

That’s right, ever since I realized my romantic feelings for Victoria, I no longer call her sister, nor do I call Ethan brother.

After coming to his senses, he threw the side profile photo of me falling to the ground that Paparazzi had taken at my face:

"The sun is really rising from the west! But it's useless no matter how affectionate you yell!"

"Others may not recognize it's you, but I won't make a mistake!"

"I'm warning you, put away those little thoughts of yours, our Sterling family is not something you can marry into! Even if you call me dad, I won't let you into the Sterling family!"

Ethan is right, the Sterling family is definitely not something I can marry into.

My father was kind to Victoria. Because of this kindness, Victoria, who was seven years older than me, adopted me as her sister after my father passed away.

She took good care of me for five years, even more than she would her own brother.

This difference makes me have a romantic feeling about her.

The age gap also made me keep my feelings well hidden.

If Victoria hadn't pushed me down herself, I would have just tried my best to be her good brother.

I picked up the photo and denied it:

"Ethan, Paparazzi is just full and farting all the time, do you want to follow suit?"

In the previous life, because he walked through the main entrance with Victoria, all the ambiguous traces on his body were clearly photographed.

Victoria, who had never been interested in men, was caught and broke her vow. Mrs. Sterling, who was worried about Victoria's marriage, immediately wanted me to marry her.
