The Price of His Mistake

Ten years of marriage, and I was finally pregnant with the heir to the wealthy Vance empire.

Yet on the day of my prenatal checkup, I accidentally ran into my husband, Julian Vance, waiting outside the delivery room for his first love, Melanie Hale.

Before Melanie was even wheeled out of the operating room, Julian ordered his bodyguards to beat me until I miscarried.

"Melanie has a frail heart. She won't tolerate any other woman carrying my child."

Seeing that I stayed silent, my mother slapped me hard across the face.
