“What does that have to do with me? I’m not going to let you have the baby.” I looked at her coldly.
Isana shoved me aside and walked into the living room, scanning the house with a look. of impatient hunger in her eyes.
“You don’t deserve to live in a house like this,” she sneered. “The father of the baby is Homer.”
“That’s impossible,” I retorted instinctively. Homer may not be a good person, but he’s not the type to lie.
And besides, he had no need to lie.
“If you don’t believe me, I can go for an

amniocentesis and prove I’m not lying,” Isana said, rubbing her belly. “Baby, this big house will be your home. Do you like it?”
Isana grinned with self–satisfaction, then poked me in the shoulder. “If you know what’s good for you, leave now. Or I’ll have someone throw you out, and you won’t look so good then.”
I found it laughable. “You keep saying the baby is Homer’s, but has he even acknowledged it?”
“As long as the Wilcher family recognizes it, that’s all that matters. I’ve already contacted them before coming here. They said they’d send a doctor to take care of me,” Isana said smugly, poking my shoulder again. “Look, this is the difference between us. Homer may like you, but a woman who can’t have children is useless. Once I have this baby, I’ll

I slapped her hand away.
“If
you dare hit me, you better watch out. The Wilcher family won’t let you off. This is their third generation,” Isana said, puffing out her chest.
“Since it’s Homer’s baby, go ask him to take responsibility. What’s it got to do with me?” I replied calmly.
Isana’s expression faltered. “Just wait,” she spat angrily.
She stormed out, but less than an hour later, she returned–this time with Homer.
“Homer, I told my sister that I’m carrying your baby, but she doesn’t believe me. You need

“I’ve booked you a hotel. You can stay there for now,” Homer said, his irritation showing.
“No, thanks.” I declined Homer’s offer and left the apartment with nothing in my hands- there was nothing here for me anyway.
The door slammed shut behind me with a force from Isana. I lowered my gaze and smirked.
What a delightful surprise!

Yet, Homer still found me.

making me stagger back several steps in fear.
He took a deep breath, then flashed a smile as he walked toward me and pinned my shoulders down. “Why aren’t you listening?”
“Aren’t you marrying Isana?” I tried to ignore his hands squeezing my throat.
Homer’s eyes lit up. “Are you jealous?”
I swatted his hand away. “Your baby’s in sister’s belly. What else do you want?”

“You’re the only one I want to marry.” Homer grabbed my hand and slipped the ring onto

my ring finger, locking it in place.
“Once the baby’s born, our family will give her some money to make her leave. So you just wait for me. As soon as the baby’s born, we’ll get married.” Homer wrapped his arms around me, resting his chin on my head, his touch intimate and possessive.
“My dad won’t approve,” I said, staying perfectly still.
“I’ll handle that.” Homer cupped my face, leaning in to kiss me, but I dodged him.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Homer frowned, visibly annoyed.
“It’s probably the delivery,” I said, pushing Homer aside to open the door.
“Look at this slut, seducing my husband.”

A hand grabbed me tightly, and a flurry of camera flashes went off in my face.
