On the third day after my unexpected miscarriage, my husband, George Wood, brought home my stepsister, Savannah Ahmed. She was eight months pregnant. My stepmother, Julia Ahmed, said, "The Food family needs a child to continue the family legacy." My father added, "Clara, you must learn tolerance." When Savannah had an accident, George dragged me to the hospital and said, "We must save Savannah, even if we have to drain every last drop of Clara's blood. Clara, you should feel honored that you are still useful." George's cold words pierced through my heart. "You may leave now." I lay alone in the hospital corridor, waiting to die, but no one knew that I had already made a deal with George's most formidable rival, who was like a devil from hell.

My Career and Love Life Flourished after a Divorce Chapter 1

On the third day after my unexpected miscarriage, my husband, George Wood, brought home my stepsister, Savannah Ahmed. She was eight months pregnant.

My stepmother, Julia Ahmed, said, "The Food family needs a child to continue the family legacy."

My father added, "Clara, you must learn tolerance."

When Savannah had an accident, George dragged me to the hospital and said, "We must save Savannah, even if we have to drain every last drop of Clara's blood. Clara, you should feel honored that you are still useful." George's cold words pierced through my heart. "You may leave now."

I lay alone in the hospital corridor, waiting to die, but no one knew that I had already made a deal with George's most formidable rival, who was like a devil from hell.

...

"Savannah is pregnant with my baby," George said, holding Savannah's hand.

His voice was emotionless, yet it stabbed into my heart like an icy dagger.

A week ago, I lay on the operating table, and the doctor said in a regretful voice, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Wood. Due to excessive bleeding from the accidental miscarriage, your uterus is severely damaged. It will be difficult for you to conceive again in the future." His words were still echoing in my ears.

I cried until I fainted. George held my hand tightly and said in an extremely gentle voice, "Clara, it doesn't matter. Whether you give birth to a baby or not, you will always be my only wife. I love you."

But now, he stood before my father and Julia and announced his "good news" with Savannah.

Julia immediately let out an exaggerated cheer. She rushed to Savannah and gently caressed her swollen belly. "You're amazing, Savannah. You are truly a credit to our family."

She turned to me with a fake smile, but her eyes were full of provocation. "You won't mind, will you, Clara?" After all, George is the only heir of the Wood family. He needs a child."

I felt a chill run through my body and looked at George in disbelief. "George, you must be joking. Right..."

"I'm not." George interrupted me. He took out a document from his suit pocket and tossed it on the coffee table. "This is the paternity test report. Savannah is carrying my baby."

As the papers scattered, my vision blurred.

Savannah was thirty-two weeks pregnant. It was eight months ago...

It turned out that he had an affair with Savannah for so long.

Those late-night "overtime" sessions and those sudden "business trips" were likely all lies.

George said with a hint of condescension, "Once the baby is born, I will announce it as yours, just as I promised before. No one will replace your position. Clara, you'll be Mrs. Wood forever. George's tone shifted, and his gaze turned sharp as he said, "But as compensation, you must transfer all your research results and patents to Savannah."

Julia immediately chimed in, her voice rising with excitement, "That's right, Clara. How much George cares for you! This way, you won't have to endure the hardships of pregnancy and can still maintain your position. And Savannah can achieve her dream of interning at the pharmaceutical research institute. You should agree."

I looked at my father. He sat on the sofa and sipped his coffee slowly. "Clara, you need to learn tolerance. Don't be so selfish."

Looking at the false faces, I felt trapped. Julia's greed, my father's indifference, and George's betrayal seemed to enclose me like an impenetrable net. I was suffocated.

My research results were the fruit of countless sleepless nights and immense effort, but they wanted to take them away just like that.

"No. I don't agree."

Everyone's faces darkened instantly.

"Clara, you're too selfish." Julia scolded me.

My father frowned and said sternly, "You ungrateful thing. Are you going to ruin the entire family over something so trivial?"

"I'm sorry, but it's all my fault. Please don't be angry." Savannah started her act again. She was really good at feigning kindness and fragility. "I'll leave once the baby is born, Clara. Please, don't fight. I bought these roses at the flower shop on my way here. I remember they're your favorite. I hope you can forgive me."

Savannah had seen my medical report and knew well that I was allergic to pollen.

I avoided the flowers she handed over and snapped, "Stay away!"

As I raised my hand, Savannah seemed to be pushed hard, falling heavily to the floor.

"Ah-" "Savannah!" Julia screamed and rushed over to hold Savannah. She then glared at me viciously and said, "Clara, why did you push Savannah? She's pregnant."

"I didn't..." Before I finished my words, my throat seized up in spasms, and my asthma was about to flare.

"You're still denying it." My father was trembling with anger.

"Take the flowers away!" I kicked the roses that had fallen on the floor, trying to move them away from me.

But my action only ignited their fury.

My father picked up the bouquet and threw it at my face. "You've gone too far, Clara."

George's face was livid. "Get down on your knees and apologize to Savannah."

"No! Help me! I..."

They all knew I was severely allergic to pollen.

"She's acting again," my father said coldly.

"Forget about her. Get Savannah to the hospital now. She doesn't look well," Julia said anxiously.

Savannah clutched George's shirt and asked in a trembling voice, "Will the baby be okay? George, I'm so scared."

"Don't worry. We'll be at the hospital soon."

They escorted Savannah away, and none of them looked back at me.

I collapsed on the floor, and my lungs squeezed to the limit.

Driven by a powerful survival instinct, I struggled to crawl toward my phone, dialed that number, and managed to utter a cry for help with the last of my strength. "Please... help me!"

I stood at my mother’s open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest’s voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone—he brought Charla with him. He claimed she’d had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.
