My husband, Victor Kaine, the underworld kingpin, was set up during a brutal operation on a remote Caribbean island and ended up spending a night with a local mystic. When he returned home, he knelt before me with a gun pressed against his forehead. “Elara, you are the only one I love. If you can’t forgive me, I’d rather die.” In the end, my heart softened, and I forgave him. But soon after, I accidentally caught him intimately holding that mystic. Even his subordinates called her the Boss’s Lady. I confronted him, but his eyes were red as he told me, “Elara, she saved my life, and she’s carrying my child. I can’t abandon her.” “Wait for me. As soon as the baby is born, I’ll send her away.” I believed his helplessness. But later, Seraphina unfortunately miscarried, and everyone suspected I was secretly responsible. Seraphina lunged at me like a madwoman, her nails tearing at my face. She cried, “If you want to hate me, hate me! Why did you harm my child?” Even Victor Kaine looked at me with deep disappointment. “When did you become so vicious as to hurt an innocent child? That was my child too.” With that, he ordered his men to break my legs and lock me in a dark, damp basement. “When you realize your mistake, I’ll come back for you.” At that moment, I completely gave up on him. I pulled out my phone and sent an encrypted message. “Destroy all information about me and my child. Once complete, arrange for us to leave.”
Half a month later, bodyguards dragged me out of the basement. I reeked, my face was pale. Victor Kaine held me close, his expression pained. “Elara, that child was innocent. If you did wrong, you must accept punishment.” “You know I love you most. Once Seraphina gives birth to my child, we can go back to how things were.” I silently watched him play the part of a man utterly devoted, letting him wash my body. He and I were over. He would never know that he had another child, a child with me. His mother died in childbirth with him, so on our first day together, he told me, “Elara, I just want our life together, just the two of us. Let’s not have children, okay?” I agreed to him. But seeing the smiles in his eyes whenever he looked at other people’s children, I secretly wanted to give him a surprise. That year, Victor Kaine was in a fierce battle with his enemies and told me to hide away for a year. It was then I discovered I was pregnant with his child. Fearing his worry, I never told him, not even after Leo was born. Later, Leo had health complications and was kept in the hospital. Victor Kaine brought me home around that time, and I planned to surprise him on our anniversary. I never imagined he’d surprise me first. In another month, Leo and I would be completely free from Victor Kaine. After that, I coldly watched Victor Kaine running back and forth between us, and I watched him add large doses of sleeping pills to my nourishing soups. He spent every night with Seraphina but still worried about my feelings, afraid I’d find out. Until a week later, I was rushed to the emergency room due to a drug allergy. It was Seraphina, perhaps intentionally, perhaps not, who had mixed up my medication with hers. When Victor Kaine found out, he unleashed a furious temper on Seraphina. “If there’s a next time, get out!” Seraphina’s eyes were red, and she cried, apologizing profusely to me. But a few days later, Seraphina went missing. Victor Kaine and his men searched tirelessly for three days and three nights before finding her. When they found her, she was covered in allergic rashes. She hung her head, not daring to look at me, and timidly said, “Punishing me is deserved. I accidentally caused Miss Vance’s allergy.” I looked at her with confusion, but Victor Kaine gave me a meaningful glance. It wasn’t until I overheard him talking privately with the doctor: “Add something she’s allergic to into her medication. She hurt Seraphina; she should suffer the same pain as Seraphina.” “We’ll treat her properly in a few days.” I froze, my heart felt like it had been slammed to the ground, repeatedly twisted, a pain that pierced me to the core. A week later, Seraphina and my allergies both cleared up, and we were discharged from the hospital together. That night, back home, a huge oil painting in the living room came loose and fell. At the crucial moment, Seraphina lunged forward to shield me. The easel scraped past both our bodies, landing with a loud thud. When Victor Kaine rushed in at the sound, he saw Seraphina protecting me. He flew towards us, his steps stopping abruptly in front of Seraphina, then he turned to me, pulling me into his embrace. “Baby, you scared me to death.” Victor Kaine didn’t even glance at Seraphina. But in a secluded corner, Victor Kaine pinned her against the wall, his eyes simmering with rage. “Who told you to jump in front? You’re pregnant, don’t you know that?” “Do you have to kill yourself to be satisfied?” The next second, Victor Kaine kissed her fiercely. She was pregnant again. My heart was numb. I quietly retreated. That night, Victor Kaine didn’t return to our room at all. Until the next morning, he came to the room and stared directly at me, his gaze full of disappointment. “I checked, and the easel didn’t fall by itself. Someone deliberately loosened the screws.” I looked up in disbelief. “You suspect me?” Victor Kaine sighed, “I told you I’d send Seraphina away once the baby was born. She tries so hard to please you, even shielded you from the easel. Why can’t you tolerate her?” In the scorching summer heat, I felt a chill run through my body. Victor Kaine actually didn’t believe me.
In the days that followed, he started to neglect me. But I no longer cared. In three days, I would take Leo and leave for good. But the day before we were scheduled to leave, Seraphina went missing again. Victor Kaine practically turned all of Veridian City upside down, but still couldn’t find Seraphina. He angrily smashed his phone and suddenly looked at me. “Baby, tell me, where is Seraphina?” I shook my head, “I don’t know… I truly don’t know…” It wasn’t the first time he suspected me because of Seraphina, but my heart still felt a raw, bleeding pain. Someone handed him Seraphina’s phone, which had been found before she disappeared. The last call was to me. Victor Kaine rubbed his temples, which were throbbing. “Elara, the evidence is all here. Are you still going to deny it?” I sneered, “Just because of one phone call, you suspect I arranged for Seraphina to be kidnapped?” I remembered the call Seraphina made to me before she disappeared. “The allergy was my own doing, including the easel; I loosened it. Knowing it wouldn’t actually hit me, I deliberately threw myself in front of you.” “A man’s concern and guilt are the most enduring forms of love. I wanted Victor Kaine to soften little by little, to feel guilty and compensate me, until I completely replaced you.” Her ambition on the other end of the line was completely undisguised. “Elara Vance, I know you and Victor Kaine have a child together. Want to make a bet?” “A bet on who matters more in Victor Kaine’s heart: you and your child, or me and the baby in my belly.” So Seraphina’s kidnapping and disappearance were all her own elaborate scheme. But Victor Kaine simply wouldn’t believe me. He looked at me with disappointment, “People’s lives are at stake, Elara. When did you become like this?” As night fell and the dispatched men still hadn’t found Seraphina, Victor Kaine completely lost his patience. “Seraphina mentioned you adopted a child from the foster care system.” My spine suddenly stiffened. Victor Kaine raised a hand, and someone dragged in a sack. Inside, something alive thrashed continuously. He picked up an iron bar nearby, his expression ruthless, “Elara, I’m giving you one last chance. If you don’t speak, this child won’t make it.” “Leo!” My eyes instantly turned bloodshot. I lunged forward, but someone roughly pulled me back. Victor Kaine raised the iron bar high and brought it down hard. “No!!” My pupils dilated, my vision filled with red, as if the bar had slammed hard onto my own back. A whimper came from inside the sack. The person inside jolted, then fell back down, becoming still. A pool of bright red blood seeped from the sack. “Ah!!!” I felt like I was going insane, the whole world was blood-red. The second blow was raised high again. “Stop, please! That’s your child, he’s your son!” I was being dragged back, screaming hysterically. Tears mixed with blood, my eyes filled with despair. Victor Kaine’s raised hand paused. “Baby, stop joking. We haven’t had a child all these years. Why would you lie to me with such words?” I couldn’t care about anything else anymore. I struggled and crawled to Victor Kaine, my face drenched in tears as I pleaded, “He really is your child, Leo truly is your son… Please… let him go, quickly call a doctor, save him…” Victor Kaine leaned down and cupped my chin. “Good girl, tell me where Seraphina is, and I’ll let him go.” I shook my head frantically, tears streaming down my face, “I don’t know, I truly don’t know. Please, let Leo go, I beg you, let him go.” Victor Kaine’s eyes suddenly turned cold, and he brought the bar down hard again. A muffled groan came from the sack, and then it fell completely silent. “Ah… no… ah…” I suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, my whole body convulsing violently. The third blow… The fourth blow… Ten blows in total. There was no longer any sound from inside the sack. “Leo…” Watching as there was no movement from the sack, and the ground was stained a vivid red. I collapsed to my knees, my body stiffening as if electrocuted, then shaking uncontrollably. I vomited another mouthful of blood.
Victor Kaine walked over, his black leather shoe stepping into the pool of blood, grinding hard on the sack. “Elara, are you still not going to talk?” He kicked it hard again. The sound of bones cracking was clearly audible. “Leo!!” I screamed in despair, crawling forward, but I was brutally pulled back. I couldn’t help but shriek again, “Victor Kaine, I curse you! You will never have another child in this lifetime!” Victor Kaine’s body stiffened. Just then, someone came in. “We found Miss Dubois.” Victor Kaine’s hand, which had been stroking my hair, paused. “Quickly, tell me the exact location.” He immediately got up and rushed out without looking back. Everyone left in a hurry. My eyes bloodshot, I crawled over and tremblingly untied the sack. Inside, Leo was covered in blood, his bones shattered, lying limp on the ground like a broken doll, utterly lifeless. I carefully picked Leo up from the pool of blood, pressing my face against his. He had only been in this world for three short years, suffering through illness. Just when he was finally recovering, his own father brutally took his life. At that moment, I wished I could die. Not long after Victor Kaine left, two men entered, trying to snatch Leo from my arms. “The Boss said to clean this place up, to welcome Miss Dubois back.” I seemed to jolt awake, clutching Leo tightly. “Where are you taking him?” “To the outskirts, to feed the dogs.” The men were impolite, forcibly grabbing Leo from my arms, disdainfully tossing him into a burlap sack, and heading towards the door. “Leo!!!” I screamed heartbreakingly, chasing after them, but I was locked inside. When Victor Kaine returned with Seraphina, he only saw me slumped dazedly in the living room. “Did you order Leo’s body to be thrown outside to feed the dogs?” I stood up, my eyes filled with bitter hatred. Victor Kaine’s face darkened as he said to me, “Do you know that because of your kidnapping, Seraphina lost her baby?” I suddenly burst into loud laughter, a sound of utter desolation. “Victor Kaine, I curse you and Seraphina to hell!” Victor Kaine’s face suddenly changed. “If you hadn’t arranged for Seraphina to be kidnapped and forced, how would she have accidentally fallen and lost her baby while trying to escape?” Victor Kaine’s face darkened further, his eyes full of disappointment. “I’ll let you taste what it’s like to be forced.” Victor Kaine found four men and locked them in a room with me. I struggled as I was dragged into the room. “Victor Kaine, I hate you!!! I wish I had never known you…” My remaining cries were abruptly cut off as the door slammed shut. Soon, struggling and crying, the sound of tearing clothes, and heart-wrenching screams came from the room. Two hours later, I lay numbly on the ground, my body covered only by tattered clothes. The four men left the room one by one, leaving me alone, discarded like a broken doll in the empty room. I stared blankly at the ceiling, my soul feeling as if it had been ripped out. Leo was dead. And I had been defiled by those beasts… I suddenly stood up, wrapped my tattered clothes around myself, climbed onto the windowsill, and resolutely jumped. The Kaine family estate overlooked the ocean. With a splash, a huge spray of water rose from the sea. Then, everything returned to calm, as if nothing had ever happened. At that moment, a phone that had fallen from the windowsill chimed with a message I would never see again. “Miss Vance, all your paperwork is complete. We will pick you and Leo up tomorrow.” Alas, Leo and I would never leave. Victor Kaine didn’t come home for half a month. He thought this time he needed to give me the cold shoulder, not indulge me too much. He planned to return to me after he and Seraphina had their wedding. On the wedding day, the large screen scrolled through intimate photos of Victor Kaine and Seraphina. Before the photos began to play, Victor Kaine looked down and pulled out his phone. “Baby, I was wrong before. Seraphina won’t bother us anymore.” “Baby, once I’ve settled her, I’ll be back.” After sending the message, he imagined my joyful expression upon receiving it. Victor Kaine unconsciously curved his lips. The next second, the large screen began to play. His pupils suddenly constricted. My figure appeared on the large screen, in a sealed room at the Kaine estate. Four men tightly held my hands and feet. I screamed in terror and despair, pressed to the ground, unable to move. The crowd below pulled out their phones and started recording. Victor Kaine’s face instantly lost all color. He rushed forward to turn off the large screen, his eyes bloodshot, and he screamed hoarsely, “Elara!!!” Victor Kaine went insane. He smashed the large screen on the spot, confiscated everyone’s phones and recordings, and ordered everyone present not to spread the word. The next second, Victor Kaine abandoned Seraphina and rushed home frantically.
