At my third wedding to Alec, he slapped me hard across the face in front of everyone.
"How could I possibly marry you?!"
"Where's Scarlett?!"
Alec, who had been gazing at me lovingly just a moment ago, now shouted in anger.
I immediately realized his intermittent amnesia had struck again.
So I gently tried to calm him, my seven-month pregnant belly hidden beneath my wedding dress.
But he kicked me violently in my swollen abdomen.
I collapsed on the spot, bleeding profusely.
As I lay dying, my mother-in-law rushed me to the hospital for emergency treatment.
At the hospital, I desperately gave birth to a baby boy, only to hear more devastating news.
"Serenity, your parents were killed in a car crash... Scarlett was driving."
"Alec plans to be her defense attorney."
In disbelief, I frantically called Alec to confirm.
His voice was cold and detached.
"It was your disabled parents who were driving the wrong way. How can you blame Scarlett?"
"If you want to blame someone, blame them for being disabled and still insisting on coming to New York City."

Scarlett strode towards me in her high heels.


Scarlett shouted angrily at the turnstile, disregarding her image.


People in the lobby pointed and whispered about her, some even laughed out loud and took videos with their phones.


Scarlett's angry shouts echoed behind me as I smirked and walked straight into Alec's private elevator.


The elevator went directly to the seventeenth floor.


As I exited, I immediately spotted Alec working in the largest office.


Without hesitation, I pushed open the door and entered.


"Secretary Zimmerman, I told you to knock before entering!"


"If it happens again, you're fired from Smith & Partners!"


Alec looked up coldly, surprise flashing in his eyes when he saw it was me.


Alec stood up, preparing to call someone.
