She thought about destroying the pregnancy report inside her bag.
But John was right in front of her, watching her every move through the mirror.
Even if she tore the papers to shreds, there would still be traces left.
What could I do to protect my baby?
John sped through the streets, and before long, the car screeched to a halt in front of his mansion.
Before the engine even cooled, Lily threw open the door and sprinted away.
But it was no use.
He was too fast.
In a flash, he caught her and dragged her back into his arms.
“Let me go, you psycho!”
Lily’s face flushed red with rage. She kicked and fought, but his grip was iron-strong.
With one arm holding her tightly, he yanked her bag away and stormed toward the house like a bandit with stolen goods.
Upstairs, he instinctively moved toward her old bedroom.
But then he remembered what happened on New Year’s Eve-how he’d slept with Elsa in that room. Even though the sheets and bedding had been changed, the memory made his skin crawl.
So he carried Lily into his room instead.
The second they entered, he threw her onto the bed with a furious slam.
A sharp pain shot through her lower abdomen again.
She curled up in agony, face twisted in pain. Once it passed, she forced herself upright, desperate to escape this nightmare.
I really hate this place now.
I used to love this place and I once saw it as the coziest home I had ever known.
Now it felt like a prison. A personal hell.
“Lily, I don’t like it when you act out. Don’t push me.”
John pinned her waist with one hand and reached for her bag with the other.
He is the one who cheated.
He is the one who broke his promises.
I’m carrying James’s baby, and I had no guilt over that.
But she was terrified of losing her child-her only family-so she clutched the bag tighter and refused to let go.
Then his phone rang, sharp and jarring like a siren.
He answered it, and for the first time, Lily felt a sliver of hope.
Maybe it was Elsa.
Maybe she was calling him like before, begging him to come back. Maybe that would save my baby.
But fate had other plans.
The caller wasn’t Elsa.
It was Wayne.
And the phone was close enough for her to hear every word.
“John, I finished the background check you asked for.
Ms. Ginger is pregnant.
She’s a little over three weeks along. There’s a strong chance it’s a multiple pregnancy.
John, she’s moved on. Let her go…”
Wayne didn’t know Lily was with John right now.
He thought she had truly moved on, and he was trying to talk some sense into his boss.
But John didn’t let him finish.
The second Lily heard Wayne’s voice, her heart dropped.
She opened her mouth to stop him.
But John clamped his hand tightly over hers.
He ended the call and only then let go.
His blood-red eyes flooded with rage, like a tidal wave ready to drown her.
Lily’s heart seized with fear.
In a blink, he had thrown her down onto the wide bed with brutal force.
“Lily, so it’s true. You’re carrying another man’s baby.
You belong to me. How could you let some bastard touch you? How dare you humiliate me like this? How dare you? Answer me!”
One of John’s hands pinned her shoulder while the other trembled its way from her collarbone to her slender neck.
In that moment, the darkest of thoughts consumed him.
Part of him wanted it all to end.
If we both died, maybe this pain would stop. Maybe the child would disappear. Maybe she’d never betray me again. We could go to hell together-bound for all eternity, never to be apart.
“Tell me. How many times did James sleep with you?!”
“I’m not yours!”
Lily struggled to pull away, but both of his hands were locked on her like iron. There was nowhere to run.
Her eyes burned with rage as she hissed, “John, You’ve got no right to call me disloyal.
You’re the one who broke your promise.
You gave the wedding dress I hand-stitched to Elsa just because she said she liked it.
You gave her my parents’ keepsakes just to please her.
You even gave her a wedding.
You’re selfish. Greedy. You want everything and still blame me?
We broke up. I’ve moved on. Why do you keep showing up in my life, hurting me?
Get off me! Don’t touch me!”
John hated when she acted defiant like this, all sharp edges and fire.
A part of him wanted to snap her neck and be done with it.
Then she’d never betray him again.
But he couldn’t bring himself to do it.
Defeated, broken, he slowly pulled his hand away from her throat, his voice hoarse.
“I never got a marriage certificate with Elsa.
I gave her that ceremony just to fulfill her dying wish. I never planned to break up wanted her.”
Lily looked at him like he was a complete joke.
