Chapter 1

When I came out of the hospital, I was holding the labs in my hand. Tears seemed to be spilling out of the corners of my eyes. I didn't know whether I was happy or sad.Just a moment ago, the doctor said to me, "Congratulations! Mrs. Louis, you are pregnant."When I heard the news, I froze. Then I burst out laughing. I laughed not because I was happy. The feelings I had were complicated.Three months ago, I married Carter Louis, the heir to the Louis family, as well as the number one plutocrat in New York City.On the wedding day, the whole city witnessed my grand and solemn wedding with Carter. The newspaper described me as the happiest bride in the world.I thought so too at that time.I met Carter when I was ten years old, and by that time I had already fallen in love with this handsome man.For the twelve years that I loved him, I studied hard and got into the same college as him so that I could be worthy of this wonderful man, and that he would know and remember me.Yes, Carter didn't know me because I was not a special girl. I didn't have a distinguished background. I was not as pretty as my sister. He couldn't have noticed me.But three months ago, I was invited to a classmate's birthday party.At the party, I drank a lot of wine, and I got hammered. Then I was taken to a hotel room to have a rest. The next day when I woke up, I felt my whole was sore, especially my lower body, as if it had been torn apart.By the time I turned my head to look at the other side of the bed, I found that Carter was lying naked next to me!I was afraid that I would wake up Carter and let him see me in such a state of disarray.I hurriedly got out of bed and put on my clothes. When I opened the door, many media reporters were gathered outside. As soon as they saw me come out in disarray, they immediately raised their cameras to take pictures.Soon, the news of a mystery woman sleeping with the heir of Louis family spread throughout New York.When Carter's grandfather learned of this, he was so angry that he immediately dragged me and Carter to the Louis family estate and demanded that Carter and I get married immediately.I was stunned. As much as I liked Carter, it would be ridiculous to marry him just because of a one-night stand."No way!"I was just about to shake my head when Carter next to me immediately refused loudly."There's no way I'm marrying a woman whom tricked me into having sex with. The only woman I love is Vanessa!"Hearing Carter's words, I lowered my head.Yes, Carter loved my sister, Vanessa. Now I became the other woman.But Carter's grandfather didn't pay any attention to Carter. Instead, he announced to everyone that my wedding with Carter would take place at the end of the month.I remembered that day how much Carter hated me when he stared at me as if he wanted to strangle me to death."You bitch!" He grabbed my collar and gritted his teeth, "You've got a lot of nerve, first getting someone to spike my wine with aphrodisiacs, and then getting a reporter to take pictures of us sleeping together? You just wanted to force me to marry you!""Your sister is right, you are a bitch!" He pushed me away fiercely, "Even if we get married, you won't be my wife. You will be sorry for this, bitch!"Then he pushed me back against the wall. I hit my head and almost passed out from the pain.However, he didn't hold back at all. He walked out of the study.For three months, Carter didn't come home. I spent every night alone.Where did Carter spent his night?I laughed bitterly. It must have been at Vanessa's house.When I got home, I hid the labs at the bottom of the drawer and called Carter, hoping he would come back tonight to talk things over.But as expected, he hung up on me.I knew that he wouldn't come home tonight.I went to the bathroom to take a shower. When I came out, I heard the door slam open violently.I looked up at the door. Carter was standing there wearing a suit."Carter, you're back!" I stepped forward in surprise, my heartbeat suddenly out of control.But before I could get to Carter, he yanked me by the arm and mercilessly threw me toward the bed, then cupped my chin with one hand."Are you trying to seduce me?" The magnetic voice carried mockery and deep disgust, "I know what you are thinking. You want me to go home and have sex with you."I panicked and hastily explained, "No, Carter, you misunderstood ......""Misunderstood?" Carter ripped open my thin nightgown with one hand and leaned over to bite my collarbone, "Come on! Seduce me again, just like that night. Be a slut and beg me to have sex with you. Oh please, drop the act! I know you want to."He slapped me hard on the buttock, "Quiet, isn't that what you want?"He held my shoulders down to keep me from escaping, then unzipped his pants and plunged his penis directly into me."Ahh..."A sharp pain came from my vagina and I subconsciously covered my stomach.No, it would hurt me and Carter's baby!I was about to shout when Carter covered my mouth and kept humiliating me."I’m warning you, don’t spoil my fun. You know you want to, slut! I’m giving it to you. Just shut up and enjoy!"He was hitting harder than ever, without any regard for whether I was in pain or not.I didn't know how long it took. I passed out. Before I lost consciousness completely, I saw Carter's face with a look of disgust. It really hurt my feelings.No, I couldn't pass out. I hadn't told him I was pregnant ......I woke up the next day feeling so sore that I couldn't even get out of bed."Good, you are awake."Carter's cold voice sounded. I forced myself to look at him, only to see that he was fully dressed and looked noble and elegant, not at all like the brutal animal from last night."Take this pill."He casually tossed a box of pills into my arms. I picked it up. It was contraceptive pills!No! I can't take contraceptive pills. It will cause fetal abnormalities!"I can't ......""Shut up!"I was about to refuse when Carter suddenly shouted, "You don't want to take it?"He sneered, "Do you think I will let a shameless bitch like you have my child? If you don't eat it yourself, I will make you eat the whole box!"I was heartbroken. He really didn't want me to have a child with him.Just as I was covering my stomach and shaking with fear, Carter walked towards me in a rage, as if he really wanted to force me to swallow the whole box of contraceptive pills.Just when I didn't know what to do, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.Looking at the caller, he picked up the phone without hesitation. He frowned as he was talking on the phone."What? I'm coming over right now!"After saying that, Carter turned around and ran out of the room, completely ignoring me.What happened? Who called him? Was it Vanessa?Only Vanessa would make Carter so nervous.
