The moment the door was kicked open, everyone turned to look at the entrance. My mom, especially, was
so startled that her face went pale. “You… how did you get here?” she gasped.
Nicholas quickly swept her off her feet. It was almost like a scene out of one of those over–the–top romance stories where a powerful CEO swoops in to save the day.
It was satisfying to watch, but I was left behind, awkwardly handling the aftermath.
Luckily, the doctors didn’t make things too difficult for me for Carter’s sake.
This kind of drama might seem exciting in a novel, but in real life–especially from a doctor’s perspective.
they probably thought we were out of our minds.
I had Damian privately arrange a cash gift for the doctors as apology, hoping to put the whole situation
to rest
After all, my mom and Bill weren’t even divorced yet, and if this got out, it wouldn’t reflect well on anyone.
Nicholas carried Mom to the car, and though I had no idea what they were discussing. I could only exchange silent glances with Damian.
They talked for a while, and in the end, Mom changed her mind.
On the way back, she still looked troubled, her brow furrowed, and I had no idea what was on her mind. All I could do was quietly keep her company.
Once in the master bedroom, she asked me to lock the door as if she wanted to talk to me in priv
I did as she asked, bringing her warm water and some pastries. “Whatever’s on your mind, you should eat something first. You need strength to talk.”
As women, we shared an understanding-
I waited patiently while she ate. When she was finished, she spoke up hesitantly, “About today…”
“I’ll keep it to myself, no one else will know.”
She sighed and asked, “Zocy, do you want to know why I decided to terminate this
pregnancy?”
I shook my head. Given her personality, she didn’t seem like someone who would make such a decision, but this time, she was resolute..
Could it be that she hated Bill that much?
“That night, your grandpa drugged me. He used a very strong dose to ensure the success of his plan, and the aftereffects were harsh. I ended up with a low fever that wouldn’t go away the next day, but Bill didn’t notice. Just then, Monica called, and he left me withouth second thought.”
1 cursed under my breath,” “What a monster! What happened next?”

“I was exhausted, thirsty, and had no energy left. I barely managed to answer Nicholas’s call. He came quickly, made me some grits and gave me water.
Her voice faltered as she continued, “I don’t know if it was the lingering effects of the drug or if it was just a moment of weakness, but in that complicated situation I ended up sleeping with him. Zory, this is the only time I’ve ever betrayed your father. Of course, it’s the one time I got pregnant. I took the pills afterward, so I don’t know how it happened.”
“Mom, it’s not your fault.”
I didn’t know what to say, but the whole situation seemed too dramatic, something that belonged in a soap opera, not real life. All I could do was comfort her.
“I don’t know if this child is your father’s or Nicholas’s. Nicholas is a good man. He was just an ordinary college student back Then, with no background. On the day of my wedding, he tried to run away with me. but your grandpa nearly beat him to death. He blackmailed me using Nicholas and your grandma, forcing me to marry Bill.
Thad no choice but to go through with the wedding. Afterward, I was ready to move on, cut ties with Nicholas, and not let him get hurt because of me. Then heard he left, and for ten years, we didn’t contact each other. During that time, my relationship with your father didn’t improve.
“Because of the Wilchers, I had to follow your father’s orders, even though I didn’t want to. He knew I didn’t care about him anymore, so he took his frustration out on me and you. But how could I flatter a man I didn’t love? Eventually, Nicholas came back. He’d built an empire from nothing, becoming one of the new elites in the tech world. He wanted to take me away, and I even brought up divorce to your father,
“I thought he had a child with Monica. He seemed so fond of them, I thought he’d give them a legitimate

Her tears flowed as she gently stroked my face. “Zoey, I’ve hurt you.”
This relationship, this love story, was painful to hear. I held her and whispered, “It’s not your fault. You haven’t done anything wrong. The fault lies with those arrogant men.”
“I don’t know how much longer we’ll have to deal with this. If this child is Nicholas’s or your father’s, it will only complicate things. So, 1…
“Mom, don’t cry. You’ve fought so hard on your own. You couldn’t get out of this situation relying only on Nicholas. But from now on, you just focus on your health. I promise, Carter and I will help you get the
divorce.”
She stared out at the snow, looking like a bird locked away for 20 years, her eyes filled with longing. “Do you really think I can do that?”
“Of course. If you want it, you can have it. Don’t be afraid. You won’t be alone. You have me now,”
“Zocy…
Compared to Mom, I was calmer. She had been trapped for 20 years, and her emotional state felt more like someone fresh out of college–innocent and fragile

Nicholas really was a knight in shining armor.
I thought all the good men had disappeared, but he walled 20 years.
After coaxing Mom to sleep, I went downstairs.

Nicholas was waiting in his Bentley by the roadside. When he saw me, he quickly put out his cigarette and got out of the car.
Zocy, how is your mom?”
“She’s fine. She’s already asleep. Nicholas, if she divorces Hill, would you marry her? Would you mind that she once had a daughter with someone else?”
Nicholas gave a resigned smile, his lips curving slightly, “Zoey, if I minded, do you think I’d still be standing here today? I love her, not her body, Life is short, and I don’t want to have regrets.”
His words touched my heart. “Don’t worry. I’ll make sure she gets her divorce.”
“What about the baby?”
“She’ll keep it.”
There was a 30 percent chance it was Nicholas’s child. The doctor even said that if she terminates, she might never be able to have children again.
Nicholas had never been with any other woman. It was possible that he would be the last of his line, and Mom wouldn’t be that selfish.
Her fear wasn’t about the baby–it was about being unable to divorce Bill and finding herself tangled in a mess with Nicholas’s child.
Once the divorce was final, everything would fall into place.
I’d reassured both of them and was feeling exhausted.
Last night, I hadn’t slept well because of Ethan’s death, so after giving instructions to the servants, I went to bed.
I don’t know how long I slept, but when I woke up, I felt a slight itch on my face. I opened my eyes to meet Carter’s gentle gaze.
“Did I wake you?” His voice was low and soft, the tone especially tender as the evening approached.
“No, not at all”
“Chloe, you’re so cute, I just couldn’t resist.”
His blunt compliment made me blush, and before I could respond, he added, “So, how about a kiss? Chloe, would you give me a kiss?”
