Chapter 2
That night, Marcus slept pressed against my back, his hand resting on my belly.[]
“You and the baby are okay… right?“|||
“Yeah.“[
I closed my eyes, my voice flat and cold.]
Marcus’s hand jerked back, startled by how distant I sounded.[]
“Marcus, do you love me?“]
He didn’t hesitate for even a second.[]
“Of course I do.“]

The next instant, his phone started ringing.[]
I could hear the crying voice on the other end.[]
“Marcus,
I
had that nightmare again–the one where you leave me. I’m so scared. Please don’t get married, don’t leave me, okay?“[]
Marcus’s voice turned urgent, rushing to comfort her.
w.”
“Sienna, hey, don’t worry. That’s never gonna happen. I’m coming over right now.”
After hanging up, Marcus glanced at my back.[]
“Vera, cut the drama, alright? I said I’d marry you and I meant it. Just
care of yourself and the baby.”
With that, he rushed out the door.
In his eyes, I was still just the girl who could never measure up to her.
I got out of bed and looked at the old photos from our dating days on the bookshelf.[]
I suddenly realized that ever since Sienna came back, we hadn’t taken a single picture together.]
I sat on the nearby sofa, closed my eyes, and fell into deep thought…
I don’t know how much time passed before my phone rang.]
Sienna had just published a post-
One photo showed Marcus driving at night, one hand on the steering wheel, the other holding her hand.[]
Another showed him cooking for her in a luxurious, brightly lit apartment, captured from behind.[]
The caption read: [Love is late–night shopping and a bowl of fragrant pasta.]]
So sweet.

But he’d never done that for me.

Back then, Marcus always told me to “be more understanding.“[]
So, I never asked for anything.[]
Turns out he didn’t actually like understanding girls–he just didn’t like me.[]
I let out a bitter laugh, mocking how pathetic I was.[]
Then I grabbed all our photos from the bookshelf and started ripping them apart, piece by piece.[]
The sharp edges cut up my hands, leaving little wounds everywhere.[]
Just like all those small wounds Marcus had left on me–the ones he thought didn’t matter.[]
The next morning, I stuffed all the wedding decorations into garbage bags.
Just as I got downstairs, I heard the sound of the door lock turning.]
It was Sienna.
“Vera, looking like that, what exactly do you think you’re competing with me for?“]
Straight to the point, wasn’t she?
I wasn’t surprised to see Sienna at all.[]
“Mm. What do you want?“]]
“Oh, Vera, if it bothers you that much, I won’t move in. I just wanted to take care of you, that’s all. Marcus said you haven’t been feeling well lately.“[]
Suddenly Sienna was acting like a completely different person–her brow furrowed deeply, her eyes turning cold and harsh.[]
I guessed Marcus was about to show up.
Suddenly, Sienna dug her sharp nails into my slightly rounded belly.[]
I instinctively protected the baby, pushing her hand away.[]
Sienna let out a piercing scream and slammed her head hard against the corner of the table.
A line of blood trickled down her cheek.[]
“Sienna!”
Marcus, who had just walked through the door, dropped his luggage and ran straight to Sienna.[]
Sure enough.
A nice show.
“I’m fine, Marcus. Vera’s probably just having a hard time with the pregnancy, you know? She’s emotional. Please don’t blame her–I was being too pushy.“[]
Chapter I
Her eyes filled with tears that mixed with the blood streaming down her face.
“Vera, was that really necessary? You keep going after Sienna over and over again. Can’t you just leave her alone?“]]
Marcus pointed his finger at me, his eyes vicious and full of hatred, as if I hadn’t just given her a little push, but had actually murdered her.
“Don’t blame Vera. I’m sure it was just an accident. As long as she’s okay, that’s all that matters.”
Sienna tugged gently at Marcus’s sleeve, the picture of wounded understanding.
Hearing this, Marcus’s expression softened slightly, but his words still carried a bone–chilling coldness.
“Stop being so damn paranoid and suspicious all the time. If Sienna and I really had something going on, do you honestly think you could compete with her? Look at yourself.“[]
