I accidentally overheard my husband, Jacob Lopez, talking to the doctor after my miscarriage.
"Find a way to sedate my wife and remove her uterus. Ensure she can never get pregnant again."
He then put his large hand on another woman's stomach and said, "Provide her with the best prenatal care. I want her baby to be the Lopez family heir."
I recognized the woman—she was a streamer from Jacob's company.
I heard him sternly remind the doctor once more, "And make sure my wife recovers well. If this operation causes her any problems, you'll all face severe consequences."
My heart sank. I never thought the man who once cherished me would suddenly turn against me.
Without hesitation, I left him with divorce papers, wishing them well in their "relationship."

Instead of Athena, a courier appeared at the entrance, his uniform clearly identifiable. He carried a small parcel and offered it to Emmett with a courteous grin.


"Good day, I have a delivery for Mr. Davidson from Ms. Chancellor. Is Mr. Davidson present?"


Emmett's pulse quickened. "That's me!" he responded enthusiastically.


His thoughts whirled as he remembered Athena's promise of an additional wedding present. This realization only heightened his anticipation. He hastily tore open the package.


Within lay a flawless white figurine, undeniably modeled after him. His fingers trembled as he cautiously unwrapped it, layer by layer.


"You truly do care for me..." Emmett murmured to himself, echoing the phrase as the complete form of the figurine emerged.
