Chapter 10
With that, he grabbed her wrist and dragged her toward the door.
Victoria struggled as she was dragged across the floor. “Alexander, you can’t do this to me! You can’t treat me this way! You used to love me so much…”
She’d thought his previous gentle looks and yesterday’s wedding vows meant something
A cold snort came from ahead as Alexander said icily, “I’ve only ever loved Sophia.
- da. You were just an arranged marriage partner.
Hearing this, Victoria stopped struggling. So all those previous words had been lies.
The door opened and she was dragged to the car, her body scraping painfully against the ground.
Catherine had waited outside and panicked seeing this scene. She broke free from the bodyguards who dared not restrain her too forcefully and grabbed Alexander’s arm.
“Alexander, how can you treat her like this? She’s carrying a child!
Alexander stopped his motion of throwing Victoria into the car and looked at his mother. “Not for much longer.”
While Catherine stood stunned, he lifted Victoria into the car and told the driver to go to the hospital.
This was a private hospital where Alexander had made arrangements the operating room was ready,
Their arrival drew attention since the woman being dragged was clearly unwilling, but the surrounding bodyguards prevented anyone from intervening
No, my baby! Don’t take him away! Alexander, I really know I was wrong–please spare the child, I beg you…”
People around recognized them as yesterday’s wedding couple
Discussions arose. “What’s happening? Didn’t they seem so in love yesterday?”
“Right! Wasn’t there news about the groom having a mistress yesterday? Could this be because of her?”
Alexander ignored the chatter and threw Victoria into the operating room.
Seeing the operating table, Victoria felt despair. The door closed before her eyes as she pounded on it. “Alexander, please, I beg you….! Alexander left without looking back, immediately encountering William Whitmore’s raised hand.
“Alexander Sterling, you asshole!”
He quickly caught the man’s wrist and threw it aside, looking at him coldly. “Save those words for your daughter.”
William’s neck reddened with rage, his trembling finger pointing at Alexander. “That’s your child! You’re killing your own child for some Sophia – you’ve been bewitched by that mistress…”

Lundkerchief at William’s feet and looked at him coldly.
Both William and Catherine, who had arrived, were so angry they could barely breathe. Seeing them about to faint, Alexander thoughtfully said, “Take Mr. Whitmore and my mother to a ward to wait, in case they collapse and can’t be revived in time.”
The bodyguards obeyed, taking them to a ward regardless of their wishes, leaving the area quiet
Onlookers, seeing the black–suited bodyguards, dared not speak.
Thirty minutes later, the operating room light went out and the doctor emerged saying the surgery was successful.
Learning the child was gone, Alexander immediately turned and left without staying another second
That day, after returning home, Alexander discovered the hospital scene had been secretly filmed and posted online.
The internet erupted with criticism:
“Did this mistress really succeed in taking over?
“But this man is terrible too–actually aborting his own child for a mistress. That poor girl.”
“I agree with the above. This mistress is shameless–if I see her in real life, I’ll definitely beat her up. People who destroy families should go to hell.”
Alexander scrolled through the comments with trembling fingers, each cruel word slicing through him like a blade yet he couldn’t stop reading, as if punishing himself could somehow let him feel even a fraction of the pain Sophia must have endured.
His assistant had given him nothing, no leads, no trace of where she’d gone, leaving him drowning in a helplessness so complete he could barely breathe, desperate to find her but utterly lost on where to begin.
As online criticism intensified, Alexander chose to clarity at its peak.
