Inevitable Love: Trying Anyway — Episode 7

The year my father's affair killed my mother, I hated him. To appease me, he sent Victor Young, my decade-long crush, to my bed. I fell deeply in love.

Then came the big ultrasound; both vanished. Father mentioned a work project; Victor promised gifts upon his return. I watched them leave, then received an anonymous video. Father stood in a tuxedo next to Morgana Ashford, the woman who destroyed my mother. Their illegitimate daughter, pregnant, held Victor Young's arm.

Victor chuckled: 'Isabella grew up illegitimate; I won't let her child share that fate.' I bit my lip to hold back tears as my phone buzzed: 'As long as you accept it, the child in your womb will be my only heir.'
