Chapter 4
When I opened my eyes again, I was back in the bedroom.
Ethan sat on the edge of the bed, his face dark as a storm cloud.
I thought he’d finally found out about the miscarriage.
Instead, he immediately started blaming me.
“What the hell is wrong with you? Why didn’t you tell me you were on your period? If you had, I wouldn’t have punished you like that p>
“Charlotte, when are you going to drop this attitude and learn to be sweet like Lily p>
I froze mid-sit-up, processing what he’d just said.
He thought I was having my period?
Lily must’ve gotten to the doctor. Smart move on her part.
But thanks Lily-he didn’t deserve to know about our baby anyway.
I didn’t even look at him.
“I don’t know how to be ‘sweet.’ If that’s what you want, go marry Lily p>
“Either way, we’re not getting married p>
“Charlotte, what’s that supposed to mean? Threatening me with the breakup again p>
Ethan shot to his feet, screaming at me.
I almost laughed. Even now, he thought this was just another manipulation tactic.
But I was done arguing with him. I just ignored him.
“Fine!” My indifference pushed him over the edge. “You think I’m desperate to marry you or something p>
“Face reality, Charlotte p>
He looked at me with pure malice. “You’re a barren woman. What other man would even want you p>
He slammed the door so hard the whole room shook.
Watching him leave, I realized that sunny boy from our childhood was completely rotten now.
I forced myself up and started packing. I couldn’t spend another second in this place.
That’s when my parents called. Ethan had already told them about the breakup.
I knew he was trying to use them to pressure me into changing my mind.
“Sweetheart, what happened? Ethan says you want to call off the wedding p>

Chapter 4
“This isn’t a game, honey. It affects your entire future, not to mention the business relationship between our families. You can’t throw a tantrum
at a time like this p>
“I’m not throwing a tantrum.” My voice caught with suppressed emotion. “He doesn’t love me anymore. I don’t want to force it p>
“And I’m not calling off the wedding-I’m just marrying someone else. You know him. Sebastian Cross p>
Dad’s lecture died in his throat.
Mom gasped.
“Sebastian Cross? From the Cross family? The richest family in the city p>
“Yeah. We’ve done business together before. He’s proposed an alliance p>
“So don’t worry. I know what I’m doing p>
That shut them up real quick.
The second I hung up, the bedroom door opened.
Lily waltzed in with a greasy bowl of chicken soup, smiling sweetly.
“I brought you some soup! Ethan made it PERSONALLY for me-said I needed to keep my strength up. You should try some p>
She emphasized “personally” like it was some kind of victory.
I smiled coldly, meeting her challenging gaze.
“Lily, not everyone treasures trash. You think he’ll marry you just because I’m gone? You think popping out his kids automatically makes you
Mrs. Blackwood p>
Her fake-sweet expression cracked.
“So what? At least I have his children to secure my place. What about you? Your precious little accident is gone, isn’t it? What do you have left to keep him p>
“Charlotte, he only has eyes for me p>
Then she suddenly screamed, smashed the soup bowl, and threw herself to the floor.
“I never wanted to compete with you for Ethan! Why do you keep trying to hurt me and the baby p>
Before I could react, Ethan kicked the door in.
Seeing Lily on the floor, his face went white with rage.
I tried to explain, but he shoved me aside and scooped her up.
As he carried her past me, his eyes were pure venom.
“Charlotte, ‘you’re fucking evil p>
I stumbled and fell, realizing he’d already decided I was guilty.
For the next week, Ethan didn’t come home.
Like he was protecting them from me, he took Lily and both kids away.

Chapter 4
But I kept getting harassment texts from Lily-photos and videos of her happy little family with Ethan.
I looked at them and felt… nothing.
After packing up everything, I quietly left the house where I’d lived for three years. The day before the wedding.
The next morning, Ethan arrived in his wedding car to pick me up.
But I was nowhere to be found. The staff claimed they had no idea where I’d gone.
It wasn’t until he found the miscarriage report wedged behind the nightstand that he finally panicked.
My phone went straight to voicemail. His hands shaking, he ordered his assistant to track me down.
Half an hour later, his phone rang.
The assistant stammered: “Sir… Miss Charlotte is getting married at the Brightcrane Hotel p>
