Chapter 4 Damian's face instantly changed . " Isabella , don't touch her . I swear , that night was a mistake . Once she has the baby , I'll make sure she's out of our lives for good . " His reaction gave him away . My chest ached , but I still smiled . " And what if I don't agree ? " I didn't just want a divorce - I wasn't about to let him walk away that easily . The years I gave him , my youth , my energy - they weren't worthless . He was going to pay them all back . Damian's expression gradually turned cold . " Then I guess I'll have to send you away for a while . " By " away , " he meant sending me abroad . So I could " cool off " in a foreign place . But wasn't that just a fancier way of locking me up ? " You don't have the right to control my life . I'm not some pet you raised , Damian . ' I had walked out the door in a red dress , but he blocked me from leaving . " Change your clothes before you go out . I said , no red . " That defiant fire in me flared up . " Why the hell can't I wear red ? " He actually said it like it made perfect sense . " Red's only for Chloe . When she wears red , it helps with my psychological issues . Haven't you noticed how much better I've been lately ? " I broke free from his grip , so disgusted I almost gagged . " You're unbelievable . With acting skills like that , why aren't you in Hollywood winning an Oscar ? " As if I still believed a single word from him . I'd already checked the home security footage . I saw how , while I was asleep in the middle of the night , he pinned Chloe down on the couch and kissed her . I heard him say , holding her , " My child can only come from your body . Isabella doesn't even deserve to think about keeping it . She's already married to me . She's gotten more than enough . ' So that whole story about red triggering his " condition " ? A lie . Even the " accidental " miscarriage - it was all part of his plan . Chapter 4 50.00 % D Dreame - Read Romance Stories Top Fiction Novels 2022 , Free Stories are Updated Daily .

Come pick me up . " Right after I hung up , someone unexpected showed up . Chloe Vance . After she took a hit from a vase meant for Damian , she had moved into the Whitmore villa like it was her birthright . Now she stood in front of me , heavily pregnant , wearing my pajamas - and gloating . " Isabella , don't you think you're a total failure as a woman ? You couldn't keep your man . You couldn't even keep your baby . Why don't you just die already ? " " Do yourself a favor and give up the title of Mrs. Whitmore . Hand it over to me . Otherwise , staying in that position just makes you look like a joke . " I didn't blow up at her this time . I walked calmly to the window . The sun was shining outside . " Chloe , you think just because you're pregnant , you've already won ? Why don't you take a look at this ? " I handed her a file on an IVF procedure . " Damian lied to you . You think you're the one he loves . But in reality , you're just a tool . The baby in your womb - it's mine . " Chloe's face went pale . " No ... you're lying ! Damian wouldn't do this to me - he loves me ! " She started trembling all over like she might shatter at any second . I felt satisfied . So I gave the fire another stoke . I took out a voice recorder and pressed play . Damian's deep voice came through clearly : " Isabella , don't worry . As soon as the baby is safely born , I'll send Chloe away . She'll never show up in our lives again . " Chloe fell apart . All her smug confidence vanished . " I need to talk to Damian ! I need to know if this is true ! Why would he lie to me ? " She ran out crying . The butler came over , glancing at me nervously . " Mrs. Whitmore , aren't you afraid the master will come after you for tricking Miss Vance like that ? " I looked into the mirror , smiling at my own reflection . Calm . Numb . Quietly dead inside .
