On the night of the SAT exam, my childhood sweetheart, Walter Sterling, eagerly coaxed me into sleeping with him. At the height of passion, his wild and unrestrained motions hurt me. Later, thanks to a ten-points difference on the exam score, we ended up in a four-year-long-distance relationship. Walter spent all his allowance on flight tickets to see me. Whenever we got together, he would physically live out the words, “absence made the heart grow fonder.” On his birthday, I bought a flight ticket and carried a cake to surprise him. But when I entered his rental apartment, I saw him and a strange girl intensely doing the deed. The cake in my hand fell to the floor with a thud. Then, I ran out crying. Walter’s expression changed dramatically. He chased after me like a madman. To keep me, he deleted all her contact information in front of me and even dropped out of school. My heart softened, and I forgave him. After we got married, he treated me even better than before. The improvement was so drastic that I was constantly on cloud nine. But when I became pregnant, I once again saw the girl he had completely cut ties with. She was his new secretary.

After Walter was thrown out, he thought about the signed divorce agreement. A moment later, he remembered something.He stormed back home furiously. The moment he stepped inside, Belle hugged him from behind.“Walter, you finally came back!”Walter did not hug her back. Instead, he shoved her hard to the floor.“Did you tamper with the divorce papers?”Belle’s expression changed dramatically. She shook her head.“It wasn’t me. You signed it yourself.”He grabbed Belle by the jaw and demanded viciously, “Impossible! Did you forge my signature?”Belle looked terrified. She desperately pried at Walter’s hand and struggled to breathe.“It wasn’t me... You didn’t even look at that document. You just signed it.”Walter’s hand suddenly went limp.He became regretful. He slumped to his knees in defeat.“Zara has made up her mind to divorce me. The baby’s gone. And now Zara’s gone, too.”He no longer had a home.He felt completely useless. He had betrayed Zara’s true feelings.

I never thought I would see Walter again. According to the bodyguards at the hospital entrance, he came several times but was stopped outside each time.The next time I got news of him, I could not have cared less.Perhaps it was because of the child. Having the child inside me had felt like a dream. But when the dream ended, so did everything else.While I was resting in bed, he appeared in front of me.I was about to shout when he lunged over and covered my mouth.“Zara, don’t be scared. Don’t make a sound. I need to talk to you.”I nodded. Only then did Walter let go of his hand.“Walter, how did you get in? Isn’t there anyone at the door?”Walter pointed to the window and said, “I climbed in through the window. Zara, is our child really gone?”I looked at him and said in a choked voice, “You let Belle kill our child with her own hands. I was already planning to divorce you, but the baby was innocent. If this accident hadn’t happened, I think I would’ve kept him.“But it w

Belle turned pale with fright. She shouted harshly, “This is a hospital! What are you trying to do?! Don’t come any closer!“Take one more step, and I’ll tell Walter! He’ll make you regret this! Stay back!”Alistair looked amused. He raised an eyebrow and asked, “Walter?“His company is about to go under. Right now, he’s probably tearing his hair out over it. Ms. Helm, as of today, you’re fired.”Belle was in disbelief. She let out an exaggerated, loud laugh. “Who do you think you are? Everyone in Velora City knows the Sterling family. Do you really think that you can easily bring down the Sterling Group?“Don’t be delusional!”Instead of getting angry, Alistair just smiled. “We’ll see who’s being delusional. Go ahead, check the news right now.”Belle dubiously took out her phone. She caught sight of the headlines.[Breaking News: Sterling Group Officially Acquired by Frost Group #SterlingGroupOnTheVergeOfCollapse]Belle’s hands trembled. She muttered to herself, “That’s imp

When I opened my eyes again, I was lying in a hospital bed. I could smell the strong disinfectant.I stared blankly at the ceiling in a daze. Alistair saw me wake up. He said apologetically, “Zara, the doctor said you had a miscarriage.“I’m sorry. I arrived too late.”I forced myself to sit up and squeezed out a smile to comfort him. “It’s not your fault. I brought this on myself.“I should’ve ended things with Walter the day I found out he was cheating on me. No, actually, we never should have gotten together in the first place.”Tears welled up in his eyes as he looked at me with pained concern.“It’s because I wasn’t good enough. Back then, my father forced me to go train at a top-secret military unit. For three whole years, the only thing that kept me going was you. But when I finally made it out and came back, you were already with Walter.“I missed my chance with you, Zara. That’s why you’ve suffered so much. Don’t worry. I’ll make every single one of them pay for wha

Walter said coldly, “That doesn’t justify you poisoning Belle’s dog. I’m the one who let her keep it in the office. If you have a problem, take it up with me. Don’t go after her.”Seeing that Walter and I had completely fallen out, Belle’s eyes gleamed with a flash of triumph.She cried even harde
