Year father's affair killed my mother, I loathed him. To appease me, he gave me Victor, man I loved for 10 years. We shared one night, I loved him deeply. Three months dating, his persuasion made me forgive father. Fourth month, I was pregnant. I became most cherished pregnant woman in Beverly Hills. Every checkup, husband and father accompanied me, treated me like princess. Important ultrasound day, they did not appear. 'Important business,' father patted my hair. Victor stroked my belly: 'Buying gifts after.' I smiled, but received anonymous video before scan. Father in groom suit stood with Morgana, woman who killed my mother. Next to them, their pregnant secret child Isabella, in wedding dress, linked arms with Victor. 'Toast to double joy! Congrats to Mr. Hunter's true love and Young's perfect wedding!' Someone toasted. Video ended, father's voice: 'Sham marriage with Emily void. Unborn child illegitimate.' Victor laughed: 'Emily blessed, Isabella in shadows. Won't let her child suffer.' Biting lips, I left hospital, phone vibrated. Infertility certificate and text: 'If you will, unborn child becomes my only heir.'
