Three years into our marriage, I finally became pregnant. Blake was overjoyed. He announced the news to everyone he knew, practically shouting it to the world.
That night, however, I overheard his conversation with his secretary which shattered my world all over again.
“Wasn’t she supposed to be on birth control?” Blake's cold voice demanded. “How did she end up pregnant? This child cannot stay. I promised Tracy that there will never be other women except her that can carry my child."
The trembling voice of his secretary responded, “Yet, Sir, if your wife finds out about, this won’t end well. Besides if the car accident from five years ago comes to light … if she learns it was orchestrated by us …”
Blake chuckled coldly and said, "I'll do anything for Tracy … anything! I've even married Julie, haven't I done enough?"

"Mr. Maxwell, Sir. This is the child that Mrs. Maxwell has longed for over the past three years. Losing it might destroy and kill her!” the secretary pleaded.
He continued, "You even arranged a car accident in order to let Miss Edward marry your brother without any hitch back then. Mrs. Maxwell even almost lost her life in that accident."
