Chapter 3
“Ethan… you’re fucking insane! You can’t do this to me p>
My lips were trembling as I snarled at him.
“Can’t? I’m your fiancé p>
Ethan let out a cold laugh. At his signal, the servants grabbed my arms and legs, dragging me toward the cold storage room.
I fought them, but it was useless.
Blood from my head wound left a trail across the floor.
And through it all, Ethan didn’t even glance my way.
The freezing air hit me like a slap. I started shivering uncontrollably.
My abdomen-still healing from the miscarriage-felt like it was being torn apart by ice-cold claws.
I curled up in a ball, pounding weakly on the metal door:
“Let me out! Get Ethan! Please… I’m in so much pain p>
The guard outside snickered.
“Miss Charlotte, if you’re gonna fake it, at least make it believable. It’s just a little cold-how could that hurt p>
“And Mr. Blackwood? He’s busy comforting Miss Lily. No time for your little performance p>
I tried to argue, but my vision was already getting fuzzy.
Gradually, I lost the strength to call for help.
Just when I thought I might actually die in there, the door opened.
Ethan’s annoyed voice drifted down from above.
He nudged my arm with his foot, clearly irritated:
“Done with the act yet? I barely turned the temperature down. What’s with the whole dying routine-trying to guilt trip me with that old ‘I saved your life’ card again p>
“Or are you still pushing that ridiculous pregnancy lie to get out of consequences?” He scoffed.
My brain was going fuzzy, but I used my last bit of strength to explain:
“I’m not… take me to the hospital. I just had a miscar p>
Before I could finish the word, Lily tugged on Ethan’s arm, her voice all sweet and concerned:
“Babe, she’s always been delicate. Maybe she’s not faking? We could just let it go… I don’t mind if the kids and I suffer a little p>
That melted Ethan’s heart instantly.

Chapter 3
“If you’re with me, I won’t let you suffer p>
“Charlotte’s gotten way too bratty. Time someone knocked her down a peg p>
He started walking away, protectively shielding Lily from the cold air.
Lily shot me a triumphant look before quickly switching back to her innocent mask.
“But she is your fiancée… and she did save your life p>
“So what p>
They were getting farther away, but I still caught Ethan’s ice-cold response.
“I already promised to waste my entire life on her. Isn’t that enough p>
My heart stopped. The world went silent.
So that’s what my sacrifice meant to him-
A chain around his neck.
Tears fell and froze on the concrete floor.
I couldn’t tell which was colder anymore: my body or my soul.
One phrase “waste my life on her”—and every promise he’d ever made turned to dust.
He’d fallen out of love long ago, and I’d been too pathetic to see it.
All that young, pure love finally died in that moment.
Suddenly, warm blood gushed from between my legs.
I heard screaming, shouting, chaos.
But I couldn’t open my eyes. I just felt someone frantically pulling me into their arms.
“Don’t just stand there-get a doctor p>
“If anything happens to my wife, you’re all dead p>
It was Ethan, saying my name over and over, his voice shaking.
For a second, he almost looked like the old Ethan-
The one who used to panic over my all smallest injuries.
