I threw myself in front of Margaret . A sharp pain exploded on my forehead - something had hit me . Warm blood began to trickle down . But it was the name on her badge that sent a jolt through me , freezing me in place - Sabrina . Six years ago , I had received a text from the St. Mary's Hospital obstetrics department confirming an appointment . The patient's name was Sabrina . Back then , I had thought it was a system error - that someone else's information had been mistakenly linked to my number . I'd even shown the message to Nathaniel Cross , teasing , " You don't have a mistress waiting at the maternity ward , do you ? Is she carrying your child ? " Without so much as a flicker of guilt , he'd pulled me into his arms and sworn solemnly . " How could that ever happen ? You know how much I love you . You're the only wife I'll ever have . Don't scare me like that again . " Now , looking at the boy in front of me , I realized his age matched perfectly . So Nathaniel's betrayal hadn't been recent - it had been going on for years . So this was his so - called love . I screamed , my voice raw with a fury that bordered on madness . " Do you even understand who she is ? She's Nathaniel's mother ! If anything happens to her , you'll pay with your life ! " " Take a good look at the legal documents ! Whose name do you think this hotel is really under ? " Sabrina curved her lips into a sly smile . " Of course I know . It's under my name . My husband handed the hotel over to me long ago . I'm the real lady of this place now . " Her eyes flicked over Margaret with disdain before she burst into laughter . " Mother - in - law ? Her ? You expect me to believe that ? " " You won't give up the act until you're faced with consequences , will you? My husband is taking me to meet my real mother - in - law this weekend . " " When she hears how I put two impostors in their place , she'll be even more pleased with Chapter 3 30.00 % Dreame - Read Romance Stories 1 me . " Several staff members tore Margaret away from me with brutal force . Sabrina pinched her nose in mock disgust as she shoved a reeking cake , smeared with slop , in front of Margaret . " Wasn't the cake too hard for you ? We've specially ' remade ' this one for you , with some ' extra ingredients . ' You're not stepping foot outside until you've eaten every last crumb ! " Margaret's face twisted with pain . After all the abuse , she had no strength left to resist . Her weak voice rasped , " Let me go ... I really am Nathaniel's mother . If you don't believe me , check for yourself ! " " Are you insane ? Sabrina , let her go ! " I screamed , thrashing against the staff who held me . But Sabrina only grew more excited , her eyes glittering with malice . She straddled Margaret , whip in hand , and lashed it down hard . Margaret's body convulsed with agony . She trembled violently but no longer had the strength to even fight back . The little boy clapped happily , imitating his mother . He scooped a handful of cake and smeared it all over Margaret's mouth . " You have to be good and listen to Mommy . If you don't , you'll get punished ! " Sabrina stroked his head with grotesque tenderness , her smile warped . " My precious Ethan , so obedient . Already helping Mommy deal with problems . " I couldn't stand it any longer . A surge of fury ripped through me , lending me strength I didn't know I had . With a violent twist , I broke free of their grip , lunged forward , and kicked Sabrina off Margaret . I threw myself at her like a madwoman , clawing and striking until her shrill screams filled the tearoom . " I'm going to teach you a lesson you'll never forget !
