Chapter 1

The seventh year of my marriage to Dane, I was kidnapped by his arch-enemy.

He livestreamed to the whole internet as he terminated the child in my womb.

My husband Dane lit up fireworks across the entire city just to make his sweetheart smile.

Inadvertently, they clicked on the livestream. He covered his pure love's eyes:

"How dare they broadcast such a bloody livestream? My Seraphina is so timid, what if it leaves her traumatized? Can you take responsibility for that?"

Under the sky full of fireworks, I lost our only child and was left battered and barely alive by the roadside.

By chance, I encountered Dane accompanying Seraphina to pick up a cake. I reached out to cling to his leg, only to be kicked away.

"Get lost."

He didn't know he had just kicked away his only hope in this life.

I decided to give them a grand gift. When the fireworks bloom, it will also be your demise day.

————————

The black-clad man aimed the camera at me, labeling the front with blood-red text. He demanded Dane show himself, or else he'd take my life!

He held a heavy club in his hand, swinging it viciously towards my stomach.

I was already five months pregnant and in no condition to withstand such a brutal blow.

"The livestream has been sent to your husband. If he keeps hiding like a coward..."

"Ahhh!" I cried out in agony.

My whole body trembled in pain, large beads of sweat trickling down my forehead. I had begged him countless times, but it was all in vain.

My child and I were innocent. Why did he have to involve us in his personal vendetta against Dane?

"Isn't your husband supposed to dote on his wife? I don't believe he won't show up after I've tied you up."

Blackcloak struck two more heavy blows, saying he'd kill the bastard in my belly first, then deal with me slowly.

He wanted Dane to watch closely what became of his wife and child.

The livestream was instantly flooded with countless viewers.

All were filled with righteous indignation, clamoring to call the police, but this person's IP was overseas, rendering any action useless.

[This is killing me! What's going on with CEO Langdon? His wife is being tortured, their child about to be lost. Was his image as a doting husband all fake?]The chase of a woman

For a fleeting moment

】

[Did the network go down? Or do you really not care? I'm dying of anxiety here, this could end in tragedy.]

My phone rang briefly with Dane's personalized ringtone, but was quickly hung up.

I saw several photos come through on the chat screen.

Blackcloak handed it to me just as I caught sight of them embracing passionately under the fireworks.

[Sorry Felicity, my fingers slipped and I sent that by mistake. Just borrowing your husband to take some photos, you don't mind do you?]

Seraphina's catty message said this fireworks show was only to fulfill their 10-year promise, and there was nothing between them.

I saw the look of deep affection in Dane's eyes as he gazed at Seraphina under the fireworks. My heart ached terribly.

Blackcloak quickly dialed the number, but Dane's irritated voice soon came through.

"Seraphina just sent that by accident. What, are you going to be jealous over this too?"

"Can you stop being so dramatic? What's the point of checking up on me all day? I've already explained everything to you. What's the rush - are you in a hurry to cremate me or something?"Dane had no patience. He said if I called again to pester him, he wouldn't be so polite!

His icy voice came through the screen. I was so angry I gritted my teeth, but I still had to beg him for help.

"Open the livestream link I sent you. Our child... I... we've been kidnapped. He wants you to come here, or else he'll forcibly abort our baby and kill me too."

I hadn't finished speaking when I heard Dane's contemptuous laugh.

He said I would stop at nothing to get him back, even gambling with the child in my womb.

"You're truly vicious. I didn't realize you resented Seraphina to this extent. Felicity, can't you be less petty?"

Dane said I had scripted and staged this whole drama just to compete with Seraphina out of jealousy.

No matter how I pleaded, he wouldn't believe me. He hung up the phone and immediately blocked my contact.

My stomach was already in so much pain. I had been holding on by a thread of hope before.

Sweetheart, we can't wait for your daddy to come save us anymore. Sweetheart, I'm so sorry. Mommy is useless. I couldn't protect you.I spat out several mouthfuls of blood in succession.

Blackcloak was getting fired up. He viciously rolled up his sleeves and started beating me like a man possessed.

"Why should my family be ruined while Dane gets to have one at home and another on the side? Living the good life with multiple women? It's absolutely ridiculous."
