Chapter 1
My husband Antonio killed our baby boy for his first love.
The next day, he told the doctor to remove my womb.
If I hadn’t overheard his conversation with the doctor, I’d never have doubted his love for me and our son.
“Mr. Kaufman, he was your flesh and blood. We could have saved him. Why did you stop us?”
“He was born with that destiny because Grace Parrish was his mother.
“Plus, my son with Noemi is turning one year old. I’ve promised Noemi that only our son can be my heir.”
It turned out that our happy marriage was just my own perception.
Since that was the case, I should leave,
After Antonio said so, a trace of compassion, flickered in the doctor’s eyes.
He said, “Mr. Kaufman, what if Mrs. Kaufman learns the truth about what you did to her?”
Antonio replied, “She won’t. Just do exactly what I’ve told you to.
“Keep your mouth shut and never mention a word to Grace. Oh by the way, when you do the surgery, remove her womb.”
The doctor was shocked. “Mr. Kaufman, since you’ve already decided to adopt your other son, why do you need to do this to her? This is too cruel!”

Chapter 1
The doctor’s words gave me a glimmer of hope. However, the next moment, Antonio shattered it.
“I’ve promised Noemi that I won’t have kids with another woman, including my wife.
“Though we can’t make our relationship public, I’ll do my best to give her a sense of security.”
As he spoke, his eyes brimmed with happiness, which was something that never belonged to me.
The doctor fell into silence for a long time.
Perhaps feeling sorry for me, he suggested, “Mr. Kaufman, I gotta remind you again, once her womb is removed, she’ll never be able to conceive again.”
“For Noemi, it’s all worth it. As for Grace, I’ll try to make it up to her later.”
Then, Antonio’s phone rang. A familiar voice came through.
“Mr. Kaufman, I’ve made the payment, so we’ll get the court verdict by tomorrow. Don’t worry, Mrs. Kaufman would never know that we were behind that car accident.”
My blood ran cold as I listened to Antonio. I put my hands over my mouth, trying my best not to cry.
Turned out it wasn’t an accident.
My beloved husband was why my baby boy died.
Then, I remembered my son’s little body lying in that morgue 3 months ago. And my heart died together with him.

I heard the sound of Antonio’s footsteps approaching, so I quickly lay back down on the bed, pretending that I just woke up.
Antonio looked at me, worry written all over his face, just as usual.
“Honey, the doctor told me that you passed out due to the after–effects of the car accident. So, I’ve asked him to arrange surgery for you.”
“Antonio, I don’t want surgery. I’m scared. Can we go home?”
?With the last shred of hope, I looked at him with imploring eyes.
?His face darkened as soon as my words died away.
“It’s gonna be OK. I’ve chosen the best doctors for you this time. And I’ll be there with you too. I don’t want you to pass out like this again. I’ll be
worried.”
Looking at my red–rimmed eyes, he couldn’t bring himself to blame me.
So he dragged me into his arms and kissed my cheek to soothe me.
In front of me, Antonio was gentle and considerate, just as usual. But I knew he was just pretending. He did so all because of another woman.
For her, my beloved husband murdered our son, and he even wanted to deprive me of being a mother ever again.
I held back the bitterness in my heart and nodded at him.
Since all he cared about was Noemi Knox, there was no point for me to stay anymore.
While I was waiting for the surgery, I canceled my documents and booked a plane ticket for 3 days later.
I would use these 3 days to put an end to my love and marriage.
