Chapter 1

Because my husband Adrian froze all my bank cards, I went to his company to ask for money for my prenatal checkup.

I accidentally walked in on him having sex with his childhood sweetheart, Summer Cole.

I touched my still-unborn child, swallowed my tears, and walked in calmly. "Give me two thousand dollars for the checkup, and I'll leave right away."

Adrian sneered.

"We're in the middle of having sex, and you scared Summer. Apologize to her, and I'll give you the money."

For the sake of my unborn baby, I immediately bent down to apologize, took the money, and left.

Everyone thought I was a gold-digger clinging desperately for money.

He cursed me the same way.

It wasn't until after I disappeared that Adrian realized his "embarrassing" wife had, by his own hands, become the woman every elite family wanted most.

And when he knelt before me, begging me to look at him one more time in his bloody, broken state, I was holding another man's arm, walking down the red carpet toward my wedding.
