Chapter 1

The first time was my arranged marriage to billionaire Julian Maxwell.

On the day of my prenatal appointment, I walked in on him having sex with a college student by the 23rd-floor window.

He didn't apologize. Instead, he threw me, sobbing, out the door.

The second time, I married my childhood friend, Caleb Johnson, who'd pursued me for ten years.

He didn't mind that my ex-husband, Julian, harassed me every year.

He didn't mind that even after three years of marriage, I still couldn't get pregnant.

During sex, he'd bite my ear and whisper, "If you don't want to have kids, then don't. I have enough with just you."

But on our wedding anniversary, he suddenly brought home a strange woman and ordered the butler to throw my luggage out of the master bedroom.

My voice trembled as I asked, "What do you mean?"

He held a cigarette between his fingers, as if I'd said something hilarious.

"Audrey, you're just a toy Julian threw away. Now, I don't want you either."

I quietly hid the pregnancy test stick in my hand.
