When the Secret is Revealed, Your Regret Is Too LateChapter 1

At Adam’s annual jewelry launch, I was shoved hard by Christopher Adam’s companion, Lisa Goodrem, and collapsed onto the cold, polished floor.

She didn’t stop there. With her 10-centimeter high heels, she stepped directly on my swollen belly. A sharp, searing pain shot through me. The next moment, a deep crimson stain spread across the hem of my white dress.

Christopher glanced at me sideways, his expression indifferent, a slight frown creasing his forehead.

“You’re pregnant, yet instead of staying home to care for the baby, you come out to put on a show?” His voice dripped with disdain. “Did you come looking for Liz again? Tch. How unlucky—your blood has dirtied the carpet. What an eyesore.”

With that, he turned on his heel, wrapping his arm around Lisa’s waist and left without a second glance.

Not even the piercing sound of the ambulance sirens made him look back.

The sterile chill of medical equipment invaded my body. And just like that, the child was gone.

Lying in the hospital bed, I placed my trembling hand over my now-empty belly.
