For the past month, she had used the excuse of visiting me just to linger around Tomas, constantly trying to seduce him.

To my surprise, he had rejected her every time. He told himself that since he had chosen to be with me and raise our child, he had to take responsibility.

Just when we started believing he had truly changed, Camila played her final card.

She said she only wanted to drop off a birthday present for Tomas. On the way, however, she got into a car accident. Her stomach hurt and she was terrified.

As expected, Tomas panicked. He turned to me and lied straight to my face, saying there was an urgent issue at work and he’d be back later.

I smiled at him sweetly. "When you come back, I’ll have a special surprise waiting for you."

His gaze softened as he noticed the small gift box in my hands. With a look full of affection, he kissed my forehead.

"I can’t wait. Let’s open it together when I get back."

The moment he walked out the door, my phone rang.

It was Camila.

"Samantha, two years ago, I was the one who hired people to kidnap you."
