Chapter 1

When I was eight months pregnant, I lost my footing and tumbled down the stairs, ending up in the hospital.

While waiting for a family member to sign for emergency surgery,

My husband Nathan's voice came through the phone, sounding anxious.

"I can't make it. I'm busy being the groom at Winnie's wedding—her fiancé bailed on her again. Just find someone else to sign."

This was the second time I'd lost a child, and once again, I'd missed the critical window for surgery.

I handled the funeral for my baby alone.

Nathan still didn't show up.

When people asked where the father was, I replied gracefully that he was too busy with work to get away.

In the family group chat, someone posted a video of Nathan and his secretary kissing passionately, unable to break apart.

"Mr. Cooper and Miss Johnson are perfect for each other—childhood sweethearts, a match made in heaven."

Winnie Johnson said, "Stop joking around, everyone. Zoe is in this chat too."

Nathan replied casually, "Today is Winnie's and my wedding day. Let's not talk about unpleasant things!"

On their wedding night, I stormed into the room with police officers.

"I'm reporting him for marriage fraud, stealing my assets, and deceiving my feelings!"
