Chapter 1
In our fifth year of marriage, a scholarship girl my billionaire husband had been funding showed up six months pregnant, publicly announcing she was having his baby.
Almost immediately, Blake pulled strings to have the trending topic removed from Twitter, then fell to his knees all the way from his office to our mansion, begging through tears for my forgiveness.]
“Riley, baby, I swear someone deliberately got me wasted that night! I wasn’t thinking straight! I’ll make her get rid of it right now–please don’t throw me away!”
Red eyed, he dragged the woman to the hospital that very night.[]
Unable to let go of ten years of love, I chose forgiveness.[]
Three years later, Blake traveled abroad for business and was caught in violent civil unrest.[]
I flew there inmediately to find him, only to discover him sheltering in a building, protectively embracing that scholarship girl and their twin toddlers amidst gunfire and chaos. And she was pregnant with their third child.[]
On the private jet back home, Blake knelt before me with Mia by his side, his eyes pleading.
“Riley, you can’t have children, but the Remington line needs an heir!”
“I promise these children will only recognize you as their mother. Think of Mia as just a free nanny!”
“As long as you don’t make things difficult for her, I swear she’ll never threaten your position!“]
I forced a smile and silently tore up the pregnancy test results hidden in my purse.]
Watching them walk away together, I called “him” with trembling hands.[]
“You owe me a life. Now it’s your turn to save mine.”

The night air was crisp and cold as we exited the airport.
Blake looked at me with complicated emotions before carefully guiding Mia and the children to a corner far away from me as if I were some ferocious beast.
When passing by, he gave me a wary look and warned: “Riley, Mia has suffered a lot abroad these past years. Could you please not make things difficult for her?”
“As long as you’re kind to her and the children, the position of Mrs. Remington will always belong to you!“]
I lowered my gaze, fighting back tears.
I was just about to tell him I was done being Mrs. Remington – done with him and this whole damn family- when Mia let out one of her fake little whimpers and he walked right past me without so much as a glance, heading straight for the parking lot.
Blake had always been cool and composed. Even when I was eight months pregnant and nearly died from hemorrhaging while trying to save him, he had never shown such urgency before.[]
I watched his retreating figure with tears in my eyes, laughing bitterly.[]
Ten years of love, and now my heart felt like it was being shredded. The wound on my leg from a stray bullet during my search for him throbbed painfully
I clenched my fists and limped toward a waiting taxi.]
Just then Mia’s timid voice came from behind me.]
Riley, if you can’t stand the sight of me, you can treat me however you want, but please stop fighting with Blake.“]

“He says you’re perfect except for your inability to have children. He can’t bear to lose you, but he has responsibilities the and the children since I’m the only one who can continue the Remington bloodline!“[]
Those few sentences stabbed straight through my heart.[]
I stopped and turned to look at her coldly.
“Three years ago, you came to me begging for money to disappear forever. Not only did you break that promise, but you’ve repeatedly seduced Blake.“[]
“Now he’s brought you back, everything’s as you wanted. Why still put on this act in front of me?“[]
I laughed coldly and opened the taxi door, ignoring her.
Suddenly, Mia grabbed the two children and forced them to kneel in front of me.]
Seeing i showed no reaction, she pressed the children’s heads down, violently banging them against the ground. She sobbed dramatically while repeatedly kowtowing to me.[]
I froze in horror and was about to lift the nearly suffocating children when a Maybach suddenly swerved toward me.[]
The impact sent me flying through the air before crashing hard onto the pavement. Searing pain shot through my abdomen as blood pooled beneath The.
But Blake didn’t even glance my way. He rushed to gather Mia and the children in his arms.]
Mia curled up against his chest, crying incessantly.[]
“Blake, don’t blame Mrs. Remington. She’s just upset with us!“]
Blake glared at me, his eyes filled with nothing but coldness.]
“Riley, how could you be so vicious?”
I bit my lip hard, fighting through the excruciating pain spreading through my body.
Too weak to defend myself, I could only reach out a trembling hand toward him.[]
“Blake, please… save our baby!“[]
