Chapter 2
Zed and I met in college, and he confessed to me as soon as he saw me.
I was scared at the time and ran back to the dormitory with my roommate.
After that, he waited for me downstairs in the dormitory every day. As long as he saw me, he confessed his love to me and asked me to be his girlfriend.
He did this for four years.
My classmates were all moved by him, but I still didn't agree because I didn't believe in love at first sight.
After graduation, he continued to follow me to whichever city I went to work.
Two years later, I was moved by him and agreed to be his girlfriend.
Within a year, we were married.
I thought I would live a happy life after marriage as I had a husband who loved me, and that was indeed the case at the beginning.
But later, Vivian appeared.
It was then that I realized that Zed pursued me because Vivian and I looked somewhat alike and that the person he had always loved was Vivian.
How ironic!
I became Vivian's substitute.
It was a pity that I didn't understand it earlier. Otherwise, I wouldn't have...
As I touched my belly, I turned around and went into the bedroom to pack my things.
The doctor told me to rest well after returning home for at least a month, but now I just wanted to leave this home.
The longer I stayed in this house, the more pain I felt.
I took my suitcase and left the place where I had lived for five years without any regrets.
I rented a small house and called my best friend Olivia, asking her to help me take a half-month leave from work. I stayed in the rental house and rested peacefully.
In the evening, Zed called me, and his tone was questioning.
"Where are you? Why are your things all gone?"
I chuckled.
"I'm making room for you and Vivian. Isn't this what you've always wanted? Now that I left, you can bring her home and live with her openly."
"What are you talking about? I'm warning you. Come back immediately."
I hung up the phone and sneered as I imagined the scene of Zed on the other end of the phone being furious.
In the past, he could control me because of the child, but now the child was gone.
I was not afraid of anything now.
Zed called me every day. At first, I would answer the phone, but later I ignored it and put him on the blacklist.
I spoiled him too much in the past.
He said he wanted to hear my voice every time he called, so no matter how late it was, I would always answer his call.
But he never asked me if I was tired.
Thinking about it now, I thought I was stupid before.
A month later, I felt that I had recovered, so I went to the church.
I went there to pray for my child, which was the only thing I could do for her as her mother.
When I went out of the church, I heard a familiar voice.
"Zed, your birthday is coming soon. I want to get a talisman as a birthday gift for you. You won't mind this cheap gift, right?"
"No. I like anything you give me. Besides, the talisman is not cheap. I will take it with me all the time."
"Yeah, that's great."
Zed and Vivian held hands, talking and laughing.
I looked at them expressionlessly.
Chapter 3
When Zed saw me, he showed embarrassment on his face, but it quickly disappeared.
He walked over to question me, "Why are you here?"
This was a ridiculous question. Since they could come here, why couldn't I?
"Nancy, what a coincidence!"
Vivian walked to me with a smile, her eyes full of pride as she looked at me.
"Don't get me wrong. I just came here to get a talisman for Zed."
I sneered.
"I don't know if he needs a talisman, but you definitely do.
"A mistress who destroys other people's family must need a talisman."
Vivian's expression turned ugly in an instant.
Zed's face darkened.
"Enough! Nancy, I've told you that the relationship between Vivian and me is pure. Why are you talking like this?"
"Your relationship has nothing to do with me. I don't care.
"Zed, I've asked a lawyer to draft a divorce agreement. I want to divorce you."
"What did you say?"
Zed looked at me in disbelief. He couldn't believe that I wanted to divorce him.
"Nancy, why do you want to divorce Zed?"
Vivian looked anxious, but I could see the joy in her eyes.
"Is it because of me?"
She looked at Zed with an apologetic look on her face.
"It's all my fault. Nancy misunderstood me. Zed, I'd better leave now."
Vivian was still acting.
Looking at her hypocritical behavior, I felt so sick that I almost vomited.
I thought, "You indeed should leave now."
"It has nothing to do with you." Zed comforted Vivian.
He had always been like this. As long as Vivian showed a pitiful appearance, he would worry about her.
He was so stupid.
"Nancy, have you made up your mind?"
Zed turned his head and looked down at me, with a threatening tone.
"I am the father of the child. If you divorce me, the child will be born without a father. Is this what you want?"
My child!
I felt sad in my heart.
The child was gone.
"Yes, Ms. Wilson, you should think it over carefully."
Vivian was unhappy that Zed didn't immediately agree to the divorce, but she still disguised herself as a kind woman.
"It's so pitiful that the baby doesn't have a father. I'll also get a talisman for the baby today. You can get back together with Zed."
How dare she mention the child! She was the one who killed my child!
"Shut up!" I yelled at her.
"You have no right to mention my child."
"Nancy, are you crazy?"
Zed immediately protected Vivian behind him and looked at me with a frown.
Crazy? I wished I were crazy, so I wouldn't feel so heartbroken when I thought of my child.
Tears flowed uncontrollably from the corners of my eyes.
Zed was stunned.
It was the first time he saw me cry.
At this time, a priest walked out of the church and came to me.
"Miss, just now, you forgot to tell me the name of your dead child."
I wiped away my tears.
"It's Amy."
This was the name I gave to my baby.
"Wait, the child you're talking about is ours?"
Zed's face turned pale.
I looked at him coldly.
"It's not your child. It's mine. She has nothing to do with you."
Zed froze in place, his body trembling slightly.
