Chapter 1

"Sebastian is having a child with that woman?"

My nails painfully dug into my palm as hot tears streamed down my face. For the last three years, I was never treated as a wife in the true sense of the word, but I stayed loyal to Sebastian. And this shocking revelation about his illicit affair with Hillary had taken its toll on me. My heart hammered inside my chest as I zoomed in on the photo of a sonogram on Hillary’s Instagram with the caption: [Your dad and I are excited to meet you soon. We love you so much, our baby!]

My emotions were overriding every fiber in my body as reality slowly sank in. I felt like dying, except that I was breathing. Pulling all the remaining strength in my body, I took the courage to read the nasty comments all pointing to me.

@anthony246 [yeah, better than the legal one]

@percy_890 [time to leave your lousy wife lol]

@andresmontero [nice catch, man!]

@sandlermachiatto [drop the jinx staying in the penthouse haha!]

I logged out of my account and cried harder against the sheet. I was still in that position when I heard the door open in a blast. Wiping the tears with the back of my hand, I could feel his domineering presence wafting in the entire room, but I took the courage to gaze up at him.

“C-Can we talk?” I managed to ask in between sobs.

He didn’t answer, but his cold glare sent chills down my spine. And before I could say another word, Sebastian walked towards the bathroom and slammed the door closed. I flinched as the strong impact vibrated through my ears as the slosh of water cascaded from the shower. I am certain he was with that woman all day! I was starting to entertain depressing scenarios in my head when the door to the bathroom swung open. Sebastian walked toward the built-in closet and changed into casual clothes. With that, I hinted that he was not staying with me tonight. The thought only made my heart sink, and the cold knot in my stomach tightened even more.

“Sebastian, please... I have something to tell you,” I pleaded softly, carefully getting out of bed.

He shot me with a hard stare and said, “Unless it’s not important, then don’t push it.”

“I saw Hillary’s post.” I bit my lower lip and looked down at my bedroom slippers.

“Don’t get involved. It’s none of your damn business,” he replied in a stern voice.

I squared my shoulders and said, “But I’m still your wife. I have all the right to demand an explanation from you.”

“You call yourself a wife when you couldn’t bear an heir for me? Stop messing around, Pauline.”

I held onto the sleeve of his shirt, stopping him. “Don’t put all the blame on me. You’re so unfair!”

Suddenly, Sebastian hastily grabbed both of my arms and shoved me against the wall. His eyes were like daggers, cutting me into bits. I fought hard to squirm free from his hold until he pushed me down to the floor. I gasped in horror and crossed my hand onto my stomach. He had never been violent until now, and it scared me. I couldn’t even move.

In gritted teeth, Sebastian snarled, “Stay away from Hillary and my child. I swear I’m going to kill you if anything happens to them!”

I could not believe what I heard. I watched Sebastian storm out of the room. For a moment, I felt like my tear ducts had opened, causing tears to flow nonstop. Gathering all my remaining strength, I pulled the luggage and disorientedly packed my stuff. I’ve had enough of his inhumane treatment! More than anything else, I should protect myself and another soul. Swiftly, I6 took a pregnancy test kit from my purse and held it against my chest.
