He Abandoned Me, I Cut Him Off Cold

Chapter 2

The black Maybach sped down the road before finally arriving at the Lennox family estate.

Sienna followed behind.

From inside the courtyard came the sharp c***k of a whip, accompanied by a woman’s miserable cries for mercy.

Nikolai, who was usually carefree and cynical, now had bloodshot eyes as he rushed forward and tightly held the unconscious Lucie Donovan in his arms.

"Who gave you permission to touch her?!"

His fists clenched tightly, and the pressure radiating from him was terrifying.

"I have already agreed to marry Sienna Moretti, so why are you still making things difficult for Lucie?"

Nikolai's father, Ivan Lennox, went livid. "And you still dare ask why?" he roared. "Your brother has barely been buried, yet not only did she refuse to properly mourn him, she also seduced her husband's brother. You. And she secretly married you!"

Sienna froze in place.

How was that possible?

Her fiancé had secretly registered a marriage with his brother's wife?

Before she could process it, she heard Nikolai sneer coldly."If you hadn’t threatened her life back then and forced me into an arranged marriage with Sienna Moretti, Lucie would never have broken up with me out of spite and married my brother! It’s just a marriage certificate. Since I can’t openly marry her, can’t I at least give her the title of Mrs. Lennox?"

Ivan Lennox pointed at Nikolai, furious at his disgraceful behavior. "She’s just a flower vendor. What makes her qualified to become Mrs. Lennox?! When I refused to let you marry her back then, you went out drinking and fooling around with women, humiliating the entire Lennox family! Every socialite in high society avoided you like the plague. If we hadn’t staged that cliff-side k********g three years ago and let you 'risk your life' to save Sienna, who in the entire city would have dared marry you?"

Sienna felt as though she had been struck by lightning.

Back then, during the cliff-side k********g incident, Nikolai had nearly died trying to save her. He had lost half his life and almost never made it out of the emergency room.

But had it all been an act?

A carefully staged performance?

Before she could recover from the shock, she heard Nikolai let out a mocking laugh.

"In the end, you all just look down on Lucie because of her low status. You think her manners and upbringing can’t compare to those spoiled socialites. That’s why you forced me to marry Sienna Moretti, because you thought she was elegant, graceful, and obedient. So I deliberately dragged high society’s perfect ice princess off her pedestal. I recorded dozens of gigabytes of intimate videos of Sienna in bed. If you keep forcing Scarlett, I’ll leak them to the media and let everyone see how shameless your future daughter-in-law really is behind closed doors. Let’s see where the Lennox family’s reputation goes then!"

The moment those words fell, Ivan Lennox flew into a rage, and the entire Lennox household descended into chaos.

But Sienna could no longer hear any of it clearly.

Her entire body turned cold as she slowly crouched beside the wall, tears streaming uncontrollably down her face.

Three years...

For three years, he had pretended to love her and protect her.

He had fought powerful businessmen for spreading malicious rumors about her. He had blushed while awkwardly buying her sanitary pads.

During a trip to Africa, when they encountered a pride of lions, he had shielded her without hesitation and nearly had his throat torn apart.

But in the end, it had all been an elaborate lie.

A cruel scheme designed to toy with her emotions.

Sienna’s stomach churned violently. She dry-heaved for a long time before her phone suddenly lit up with a message.

Dr. Lewis had sent over her pregnancy test results.

Dr. Lewis: Congratulations, Miss Moretti. You are two months pregnant!

Her mind went completely blank. Her fingers tightened around the phone until her knuckles turned white, trembling uncontrollably.

Pregnant?

At a time like this… she was pregnant?!

She stood there stiffly for a long while before suddenly remembering what had happened two months ago.

Nikolai had coaxed her sweetly into not using protection, and she had become pregnant that very night.

Sienna instinctively placed a hand over her stomach, her eyes reddening slightly.

She had witnessed a pregnant woman die from severe hemorrhaging before, so she had always feared childbirth. But when she had loved Nikolai the most, she had dreamed of giving him children and growing old together.

But now…

Looking at the way Nikolai desperately protected Lucie Donovan, Sienna let out a bitter laugh.

She was going to terminate the pregnancy.

Then she would break off the engagement with Nikolai Lennox and never see him again.
