Chapter 1
The day my daughter was killed by that car, a group of thugs broke into the hospital morgue.
They spent the entire night violating me beside my daughter’s mutilated body.
The next morning, that vile video had spread to every corner of the capital.
That same day, my husband of many years demanded a divorce.
He quickly remarried his childhood sweetheart.
In my despair, his uncle Henry Foster knelt before me with tears in his eyes, proposing:
“Isabella, I’ve been devoted to you for years. Now I finally have the chance to protect you. Marry me.”
The consecutive blows had left me utterly broken.
I accepted his proposal without hesitation.
A year after our wedding, while cleaning my daughter’s memorial altar at home, I overheard Henry talking with his friend:
“Henry, a year ago, to help Sophia marry into the Foster family, I arranged the car accident that killed Isabella’s daughter and found men to defile her. I still have nightmares about it. Don’t you think we went too far?”
After a familiar heavy sigh, Henry spoke in a hoarse voice:
“There was no choice. Isabella is such a strong woman-only losing her child could crush her spirit. Only by severing the last bond
between her and Kevin could they be completely separated…”
“I couldn’t be the one to make Sophia happy, so I had to clear everything blocking her path…”
After a moment of silence, his friend spoke reluctantly:
“Let Isabella keep this baby then. Ever since she found out she was pregnant, her mental state has improved dramatically. She looked more ghost than human before-it was heartbreaking…”
“She can’t keep it.”
Henry seized his friend’s collar, his voice a hoarse growl:
“It’s your soft heart that let her conceive! Why didn’t you deliver the drugs I regularly asked you to give her?! Are you still my brother
or not?!”
CRACK!
The man’s fist connected with Henry’s body.
“I’m Henry Foster’s brother, but not a monster’s brother! It’s been a year-Sophia has already married into the Foster family as she wished. Enough!”
“Is tormenting your own wife worth it for a woman you can’t have?! Besides, the child in Isabella’s womb is your own flesh and

blood
“Wasn’t killing one child and destroying Isabella enough? Now you want to murder your own baby too?!”
Defeat flickered in Henry’s eyes as he collapsed onto the sofa.
I promised Sophia I would only be the father to her children…”
“Besides, Isabella is so resilient-only by making her lose children repeatedly will she be completely broken, and only then will Sophia feel secure.”
The man cursed and turned to leave.
Henry grabbed his wrist.
Leave the abortion drugs. We can’t delay any longer-the longer we wait, the more Isabella will suffer…”
The man hurled the pills at Henry’s chest.
SLAM! He stormed out, slamming the door behind him.
shoved my entire palm into my mouth, biting down hard on my hand to keep from making a sound.
Tears fell like heavy drops of rain.
clutched my daughter Little Emma’s black-and-white photograph, trembling uncontrollably.
The man I thought would be my lifelong anchor was actually my daughter’s murderer.
And all of this-every single bit-was for that woman Sophia Sterling.
Now this man intended to kill the child in my womb for Sophia’s sake as well.
hough it was scorching July, cold sweat instantly soaked through my blouse.
he man I married wasn’t human-he was a demon wearing human skin…
Isabella, why have you been in there so long today? Are you remembering those painful memories again?”
Ienry’s characteristically gentle voice came from outside the door.
frantically wiped away my tears, digging my nails into my palm to force control over my emotions.
No, I just wanted to spend more time with her.”
heard Henry’s anxious pacing outside.
The moment I opened the door, he pulled me into his embrace.
de rested his chin against my forehead, murmuring softly:
Isabella, I know you’re hurting, but it’s alright. I’ll be here for the rest of our days-no one will ever hurt you again…”
He placed a cup of warm water in my hands.

‘Isabella, Dr. Nathan Cross just brought these prenatal vitamins. Take them so our baby can be healthy and strong.”

I looked up to meet Henry’s tender gaze, so gentle it seemed to drip with affection.
“Will it? Henry, will our baby truly be healthy?”
Large hands covered the top of my head, stroking gently.
Yes, Isabella.”
Henry was flawless, revealing not a single crack in his facade.
But I was already trembling with fear and revulsion.
Had I not just heard those words from his own lips, I would have remained lost forever in this demon’s tender lies.
Tm tired, Henry. I need to rest.”
I pushed him away, walking toward the bedroom.
Henry froze for two seconds, then quickly stepped in front of me.
Take the medicine first, darling.”
paused, accepted the cup, smiled at him, and swallowed the pills in one gulp.
Rest well…”
Before Henry could finish, I hurried into the bedroom and locked the door behind me.
eaning against the doorframe, I curled up and collapsed to the floor…
his tiny life that had been with me for only two months was about to leave me as well…
Henry sighed almost inaudibly from outside, then said nothing more.
After he left, I finally clutched my agonizing abdomen and sobbed uncontrollably…
Vith my last thread of consciousness, I found that familiar number and dialed:
Prepare some things for me. Take me away in three days.”
eceiving confirmation, I finally felt at peace.
