Chapter 1
Lina Hart stood in the middle of the living room, her fingers trembling as she stared at the paper in front of her.
Divorce agreement.
The words blurred as tears filled her eyes.
Three years.
Three years of loving him… waiting for him… hoping he would one day look at her the way he looked at someone else.
But that day never came.
“Sign it.”
His cold voice cut through the silence.
Lina slowly looked up at the man she once believed was her forever.
Ethan Cole.
Her husband.
The man she loved more than her own life.
“Is this really what you want?” she asked softly, her voice breaking.
Ethan didn’t hesitate.
“I told you before,” he said, his tone emotionless. “This marriage was a mistake.”
Those words shattered something deep inside her.
At that exact moment…
Her hand slowly moved to her stomach.
A secret she had just discovered this morning.
A life growing inside her.
Their child.
But looking at the cold expression on Ethan’s face…
Lina realized something painfully clear.
He didn’t deserve to know.
Swallowing the pain, she picked up the pen.
And signed her name.
Little did Ethan know…
The woman he just threw away was carrying his child.
And one day—
He would regret it.
