Chapter 1

That night at the gala, just as I raised the abortion pills to my lips, a baby's cry rang out in my head.

"Mom! Don't swallow! If you get rid of me now, Julian will never have kids! He has severe fertility issues!"

My hand froze instantly.

His first love had just returned to the country.

Julian was helping Chloe to her seat. He looked up at me, his eyes cold and warning, telling me not to cause a scene.

Over the past three years, I had learned to read that look perfectly. Every time he looked at me like that, I was supposed to obediently step back and hold back my tears.

But this time, right in front of everyone, I slipped the two pills back into my clutch.

I looked at Chloe, a faint smile on my lips. "Since you're back, I'm done serving him."

"I'm leaving. Bye."

The whole room was stunned as I stood up and left.

Julian ordered me to stop. I didn't look back.

Since God had let me hear my baby's voice, I wasn't going to give this game up to the Pierce family.

I would make everyone who wanted to see me as a joke regret this for the rest of their lives.
