Burried in Lies : The Sin of My BelovedCHAPTER 1
God granted my wish for a child in the fifth year of my marriage to Archie Knight, a renowned hotelier and owner of The Royal Oak Hotel Group. I thought it was a blessing—a long-awaited happiness finally within my grasp. But none of it mattered when I discovered the truth. My husband never wanted a child with me.
I awoke in a hospital bed, my body weak, a sharp pain stabbing through my abdomen. Instinctively, my hand reached for my stomach—only to find it empty.
My child… gone.
A fall in the bathroom. Blood. Darkness.
I struggled to remember, but something held me back. And then, from beyond the hospital door, I heard a voice. A voice I knew all too well.
"Wendy doesn’t need to know. Let her believe the miscarriage was her own carelessness."
The breath caught in my throat. It was Archie.
"You’re fucking insane!" That was Dr Dallas, my obstetrician—Archie’s best friend. "She’ll despise you when she finds out the vitamins she trusted to protect her pregnancy killed her child. And you—" his voice wavered with disgust "—you are the one responsible."
My body turned to ice. Vitamins?
