Chapter 4

Over the next few days, he stayed at the villa with both Luna and me. He took care of us two pregnant women meticulously.

Luna's pregnancy symptoms were severe. Callum stayed by her side almost constantly, like a devoted husband.

After being locked in the villa for over a month, I gradually softened my attitude toward Callum so I could get out and abort the baby as soon as possible.

"You don't need to keep me locked up anymore. I've thought it through."

"The baby is innocent. No matter what, I'll have this child!"

"Really?" Joy bloomed in Callum's eyes.

"I've never lied to you," I said tonelessly. "I'm not starting now."

Callum pulled me into a crushing embrace.

"In a couple days, I'll take Luna abroad for the surgery."

"Once she's recovered, I'll come back. Then we'll live a good life together!"

I made a soft sound of agreement. My bowed head hiding the ice in my gaze.

Two days later, Callum took Luna abroad.

I sat quietly in the villa, waiting. I knew Mrs. Reid would come. She would never allow me to have this child.

That afternoon, she arrived with bodyguards.

"Grab this woman! Take her to the hospital!"

"No need." I stood, meeting her gaze directly. "I'll go myself.

"YOU are the one forcing me to abort Callum's baby!"

Mrs. Reid looked at me with utter contempt, as if I were filth.

"You dare call that bastard in your belly Callum's child? You're shameless!"

"He may be fooled by you, but I'm not!"

"This bastard must die!"

I switched off my phone's recording function, giving Mrs. Reid a meaningful look.

"I hope you won't regret this."
