Destructive Love — Episode 4

Father's affair drove mother to suicide; I hate him. To placate me, he brought Victor Young, my crush for 10 years, to my bed. After that night, I fell for him. Three months passed, I forgave father at his request. Fourth month, I got pregnant. I became the most pampered pregnant woman in Beverly Hills. At checkups, they waited outside. Everyone said I was spoiled by husband and father. On ultrasound day, both absent. 'Father and Victor have business,' he said. Victor stroked my belly. 'Back with gifts.' I smiled, then received an anonymous video. Father in groom suit, standing with Morgana Ashford—mother's tormentor. Beside her, their illegitimate daughter in wedding dress, pregnant, arm-in-arm with Victor Young. 'Double happiness!' people cheered. 'Congrats to Mr. Hunter and Mr. Young.' Father's voice: 'Your fake marriage contract with Emily means nothing. Child is bastard.' Victor smirked: 'Emily had everything, Isabella grew up as illegitimate. Can't let her child suffer.' I bit my lip, left hospital, phone vibrated. A sterilization certificate appeared: 'If you agree, your child will be my only heir.'
