Chapter 14 "I'm sorry." Seo-ah lowered her head deeply. Seunghi scanned her up and down before letting out a sharp click of her tongue. "Your mother-in-law is here and you don't even offer a cup of tea?" "Ah, yes." Seo-ah quickly turned toward the kitchen. Behind her, Seunghi's voice pierced the air like an icicle. "Forget the tea. Go down to the parking garage and get the side dishes from Driver Kim." "The side dishes?" "Yes! Because you made such a scene that day, I couldn't even give Taehyuk the…-

Chapter 15 "N-Not here, please," Seo-ah pleaded desperately. But her words fell on deaf ears. "What difference does it make? All you need is my seed anyway. Is there really any reason to go all the way to the bedroom? Besides..." Taehyuk yanked her underwear down. "You were the one who treated me like an animal first." "Ah!" Before Seo-ah could even prepare herself, Taehyuk breached her body. "A-Ah..." The sudden wave of pain made her knees tremble, but she forced herself to endure it. Just as…

Chapter 16 "Hey." Mrs. Kim gestured with her chin toward the apron hanging on the wall, silently ordering Seo-ah to put it on immediately. Seo-ah stared at the apron for a moment. She wasn't alone anymore. While she didn't feel terribly ill, it was early in her pregnancy, so she had to be extra cautious. "Mrs. Kim, I really don't think this is right." At Seo-ah's response, Mrs. Kim's eyes stretched tightly toward her temples in sharp irritation. "What did you just say, young ma'am?" The title 'young…

Chapter 17 The line was already dead. Seo-ah stared down at her phone with blank, hollow eyes. Her dazed gaze wandered over to the stone steps leading down to the main gate. The aching affection she had tried so hard to suppress for the baby inside her suddenly burst through the dam. Along with it came the memory of that other child—the one buried deep within her heart, impossible to ever forget. No one will protect my baby. No one in this family... Only I... Only I can save my child. Gritings her…

Chapter 18 "Mom, I don't have any more money either." — What do you mean you don't have money?! Your husband is loaded! And is it just him? Your in-laws are... "My in-laws have nothing to do with this, Mom..." — Enough! If you don't want to see your own mother turned out on the street right this second, figure something out! What am I going to do?! Young-ran threw a full-blown tantrum like a spoiled child. A wave of nausea washed over Seo-ah. "I don't know, Mom. I have to go to my in-laws' house…

Chapter 19 "You really are something else, aren't you?" "Pardon?" Seo-ah's knees trembled violently. "Go-eun was with me at the time. So are you trying to say Go-eun and I pushed you? Is that it?" "N-No, that's not what I meant—" "Ha." Seunghi let out a disbelieving laugh, raising her chin in utter scorn. "Do you happen to know why your mother stopped by just now?" "What?" "Your mother! Do you know why she came here?!" Seunghi's voice boomed. Seo-ah felt like she might collapse at any second,…

Chapter 20 Seo-ah sat up in bed, staring blankly ahead. The phone ringing sounded as if it were coming from somewhere far, far away. Through hazy eyes, she looked at her phone sitting on the bedside table. Taehyuk's incoming call was the only thing illuminating the pitch-black bedroom. She reached out to answer it, but her hands moved far too slowly, and the call ended before her fingers could even touch the screen. It was already the fourth or fifth time this had happened. She kept missing his daily…

Chapter 21 "What do you think you're doing?" Taehyuk wiped his lips with the back of his hand, smearing bright red blood across his skin. Seo-ah had bitten him. "Don't come near me," she said. Taehyuk couldn't believe his ears. "What did you just say?" Seo-ah's eyes were completely hollow. She barely even knew what she was saying; all she knew was that she couldn't bear the thought of anything entering her space again—even if it was him. Trembling, she turned away. She could have sworn she smelled…

Chapter 22 "Before I tumbled down, I distinctly smelled perfume and felt someone push me hard from behind. But when I came to, Mother insisted that I had just tripped on my own. And then..." Recalling that day made Seo-ah's chest sting, as if someone were rubbing salt straight into an open wound. It was something she had kept buried deep inside all this time—a secret she had never uttered to a single soul. "There are security cameras at the house. If we just check the footage—" "Mother told me the…

Chapter 23 Taehyuk vividly remembered the last phone call he had received from Seo-ah. At the time, he was right in the middle of an executive board meeting. Truthfully, it was a call he never should have picked up. Receiving personal calls during a meeting was the one thing Taehyuk loathed most; in fact, turning off one's phone before stepping into a meeting with him was basic corporate etiquette. Yet, Taehyuk had broken his own rule that day. But even then, his mind was so consumed with wrapping up…
