Chapter 1

Dominic Thorne's first love was kidnapped while filming on a remote set and went missing for three terrifying days and nights.

Two months later, she stood on a rooftop, crying as she called him, "Dominic, I'm pregnant! The media is tracking me! I don't want to live!"

He rushed to the rooftop and announced to all the media, "The baby is mine."

Overnight, I became the laughingstock of the city's elite circles.

That night, Dominic Thorne knelt before me, his eyes bloodshot, his voice choked with emotion, raw with pain.

"Elara, Seraphina Monroe has depression. If I don't help her, she'll die! After she safely gives birth, I'll make it up to you, okay?"

I loved him, loved him so much it made me卑微, so I could only grit my teeth and agree.

But the next day, the internet exploded with news, and the woman in the blurred photo was clearly me.

I trembled as I found Dominic Thorne. He embraced me in agony,

"We can't suppress the news… Elara, you rarely appear in public. We'll just have to ask you to claim this for now."

He reached out to hold me, but his words sent a chill down my spine.

"How about this, you get rid of the baby first. We can have more later."

In that moment, my heart completely died.

I wiped away my tears and dialed a long-forgotten number. The call connected, and a man's deep voice came through with a dangerously low chuckle.

"You've finally… come to beg me?"
