Chapter 3
When I opened my eyes again, Knox was wiping away tears that had fallen while I was unconscious.
For a moment, I felt like nothing had changed.[]
But his next words brought me back to reality.[]
“Have you learned your lesson, Reagan?”
“Why are you so stubborn!“]
Indeed,
This wasn’t the first time I’d been stubborn.]
Years ago, when my parents disapproved of my marriage to Knox, I cut ties with my family to get that marriage certificate.
My mother’s last words to me before she died were: “Reagan, someday you’ll regret this!“]
Now, her prophecy had come true.
I raised my head, meeting Knox’s eyes directly: “Let’s get divorced.”
He looked at me in disbelief: “Are you kidding me? You want to divorce me?”
“Just because of Skylar? I told you her pregnancy is perfect timing since you can’t have children. It works out for everyone!“[]
I gave a bitter smile, my fingers unconsciously touching my abdomen.]
“Here are the divorce papers. Take a look.“[]
Knox’s face suddenly turned cold: “Reagan, are you throwing a tantrum? I’ve explained everything clearly. Nothing will change, and now we’ll have a child. Isn’t that good?“]
I shook my head and handed him the divorce papers.
“No, it’s not.”
“Knox, I find it disgusting”
His temper instantly flared.]
“Disgusting? Reagan, do you have any idea how many women out there are waiting for me to take them to bed? Why can’t you be more understanding!“]
Haripped the divorce papers to shreds.
“Let me tell you something – I won’t agree to a divorce. NEVER!“]
“Besides, look at yourself. You’re thirty now, used up by me. Who else would want you?“[]
After tearing up the papers, he stormed out.]
Chapter 3
Yet I calmly sent the electronic version to my lawyer to handle, then packed my mother’s final possessions into my bag, preparing to leave.
Just as I reached the front door, several men covered my mouth and dragged me to an alley.
I was about to ask who they were when Skylar emerged from the crowd, her eyes filled with malice.[]
“Reagan, I didn’t want to hurt you, but how could you be so foolish as to get pregnant!“]
How can I let that bastard in your belly threaten my child?“]
I suppressed my panic and replied, “Don’t worry, I’ve already scheduled an abortion. No one will compete with you.”
Skylar laughed coldly: “I prefer to trust what I see with my own eyes.“]
With a wave of her hand, several men pinned her down and violently tore her clothes.
Help! Please spare me! I’ll give you anything you want! I’m pregnant… Please don’t hit my stomach! Help!“]
Knox rushed over at the commotion, and the men instantly vanished.[]
He shoved me away roughly and hurried to embrace Skylar, who had collapsed on the ground.
She cried, her eyes red: “Reagan, I know you’re angry with me, but the baby is innocent! How could you hire people to beat me, specifically targeting my abdomen!”
Knox was furious, his eyes filled with venon.
Before I could speak, he slapped me hard across the face.
He used all his strength, and I fell to the ground.
Suddenly,
I laughed,
Laughed until I cried.
Knox didn’t even ask a single question before sentencing me.[]
Ten years of love, ultimately worth less than someone else’s performance…]
He then carried Skylar in his arms and instructed his two bodyguards:
“Give my wife exactly the same treatment Skylar just received, especially to her abdomen!”
