Chapter 3
My mother–in–law was already in tears.
“Although initially it was to repay your father’s life–saving deed, I only promised to make you my goddaughter. The confession and proposal came from Ryker himself. He loved you so much–how did it come to this? It’s all because of
that wretched Sienna. If she hadn’t suddenly appeared, you two would never have ended up like this.”
I smiled bitterly. Yes, how had childhood sweethearts ended up like this?
The man who had blushed at our coming–of–age ceremony, promising to love me forever, swearing he would suffer a thousand cuts and die miserably if he ever betrayed me.
Yet now he was inflicting those thousand cuts on me for another woman.
“Please, Mrs. Westwood,” I said, enunciating each word through gritted teeth.
Hearing my fading plea, my mother–in–law finally nodded.
“Well! When you married, I had him sign divorce papers, precisely for a day like this–if you ever had problems, I could help you leave. I’ll go get them processed immediately!”
“Tomorrow, I’ll announce that you are my only heir. As for this ungrateful son, I’ll disown him!”
With that, my mother–in–law left immediately to handle these matters.
I lay on the hospital bed as waves of pain washed over me, screaming in agony.
The young assistant my mother–in–law had left behind anxiously awaited the doctors Ryker had promised to send.
Finally, someone arrived.
But it wasn’t a doctor–it was a delivery guy.
Seeing the bloody delivery room, he awkwardly handed over a package that contained a sanitary pad and some
band–aids.
“Mr. Westwood said it’s just postpartum bleeding, nothing life–threatening. He said to clean yourself up and stop bothering him with this nonsense.”
The assistant’s eyes turned red with tears as she angrily threw the package aside.
“Ma’am, I’m getting you moved to a hospital in another city right away. Just hang in there, okay? You’ve got this!”
My cries of agony continued until finally, everything went black as I lost consciousness.

When I woke again, it was from a bucket of ice–cold water being thrown over me, shocking me back to
consciousness.
The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was Ryker’s face, filled with disgust.
“Now that you’re awake, cut the act.” He looked down at me with contempt. “You knew damn well I’m announcing the heir and Sienna tomorrow, yet you had to make a scene by rushing to a hospital in the next city over. What, you just dying for everyone to think Sienna’s bullying you?”
Sienna stood behind him, holding an infant in her arms, tears streaming down her face, looking utterly pitiful.
“Mrs. Westwood, I know you hate me. But why punish me by having mother–in–law try to take my baby? The assistant was shouting before they dragged her away that your mother–in–law went to process documents to make my child yours, saying I wasn’t fit to be the heir’s mother…”
I opened my mouth but couldn’t squeeze out a single word. I could only shake my head with all my remaining strength, trembling as I begged:
“I… didn’t… take me to a hospital… the babies… can’t hold on much longer…”
‘More lies!” Ryker frowned impatiently. “My mother rushed from the hospital with lawyers working
overtime–wasn’t that your doing? Did you think stealing Sienna’s child would secure your position as the heir’s mother?”
‘Didn’t you already give birth yesterday? Yet here you are, pretending to be in critical labor, hoping I’ll feel sorry for you? Keep dreaming!”
My body was wracked with pain, the blood between my legs now congealed, sticking to my skin and emitting a strong, putrid odor.
Sienna covered her mouth, pretending to vomit, her eyes brimming with tears: “Harper, you know perfectly well I can’t stand the smell of blood after giving birth. Are you refusing to clean up just to make me sick? Trying to make, ne faint on purpose, aren’t you?”
she cried until her face turned pale, shrinking into Ryker’s arms, looking utterly pitiful.
Just look at yourself!” Ryker sneered, his face twisted with disgust. “You’re like some crazy homeless person, eeking like garbage. Absolutely pathetic!”
He waved his hand, ordering the bodyguards to continue pouring buckets of cold water over me until my face urned ashen and my entire body shook with cold. Only then did he signal them to stop.
Sienna nestled in his arms, crying and pleading: “Mrs. Westwood, I beg you, don’t separate me from my baby… If you insist on taking my son away, I’ll just jump out of this window!”
She made as if to jump, and Ryker quickly pulled her back.
Finally furious beyond measure, he turned and kicked away my hand clutching his pants leg, bending down to hiss:

“Don’t think you can get your way by manipulating my mother. I’ve already had the family mansion locked down. No matter what you scheme, it won’t work!”
“As for you–I’ve warned you countless times not to bully Sienna and her child, but you just won’t listen! Since that’s the case, I’ll have to take special measures.”
He suddenly turned to his bodyguards and ordered coldly:
‘She’s driven Sienna to attempt suicide, so she must pay. Go remove her father’s oxygen tube and throw him from he upper floor!”
Ryker Westwood!” I screamed. “Have you lost your mind?! That’s my father! He saved your life!”
So what!” Ryker sneered. “He saved me and used that life debt to force me to marry you, all to get you into a wealthy family and make your child the future Westwood heir. Well, you’re married into wealth now, and you’ve
een pregnant with my child. It’s not my fauli you couldn’t deliver my first child–that’s your own inadequacy. I’ve epaid my debt. I don’t owe you or your family anything anymore!”
Do it now!”
lunged frantically at the bodyguards, trying to stop them, but was viciously kicked to the ground.
‘he blood that had dried between my legs suddenly gushed forth again, like a burst dam, instantly turning the
ntire floor crimson.
screamed in agony, curling into a ball.
yker was about to drag me up when suddenly he noticed my still–protruding belly exposed from the kicking, and aw the pool of fresh blood. His face went white.
le instinctively rushed to my side and held me, then turned to Sienna and demanded:
What’s going on here?! I put you in charge of Harper’s delivery. Didn’t you say she delivered successfully yesterday
nd the baby was sent to the nursery?!”
Then why is her belly still so large?! Why is she still bleeding?!”
