Chapter 1

When I was eight months pregnant, someone slipped me an abortion drug.

Blood pooled around me.

Sebastian drove through countless red lights, tears streaming down his face as he rushed me to the hospital.

He found the top obstetrician, desperate to save my life.

On the operating table, I woke up early and heard him talking to my brother:

"Didn't we agree it was just an abortion? Why did you remove her uterus too? Sebastian, what gives you the right to take away her ability to be a mother?"

Sebastian's usually gentle voice turned cold as ice: "Letting that child live for eight months was already my greatest mercy. The position of the Quinn family heir can only belong to my child with Mia. This is what she owes Mia, and she has to pay it back."

It turned out my perfect marriage was just my wishful thinking.

Sebastian had loved my fake heiress sister all along.

Fine then.

I'll make your wishes come true.

After a long silence, Sebastian's cold voice slowly rang out: "Mia's child can be raised by her. What more could she want?"

My brother sighed: "I'm afraid you'll regret this someday, Sebastian. I can see you actually have feelings for Nora."

"If it weren't for her, Mia wouldn't have insisted on breaking off our engagement to go abroad." Sebastian's tone was flat. "I owe Mia too much. I can never repay it in this lifetime."

My brother's voice filled with anger: "Then you should have gone after Mia! Why hurt Nora?"

The atmosphere between them froze.

I lay on the hospital bed silently crying, not daring to make a sound.

"Why isn't she awake yet?" I felt Sebastian gently brush my forehead.

I slowly opened my eyes and met his instantly tender gaze.

All this time I'd been deceived by Sebastian's gentle, affectionate face, thinking he loved me as much as I loved him.

I never imagined he would be the real executioner!

He was the one who put a powerful abortion drug in my food, deliberately causing me to hemorrhage, then paid top dollar for the chief physician at the Quinn family hospital.

What a vicious heart!

For his illegitimate child, Sebastian personally killed our baby.

At this thought, my whole body trembled.

It pulled at my abdominal wound, turning my face white with pain, though it was nothing compared to my heartache.
