Catherine Visconti's first love was kidnapped while filming in the wilderness and disappeared for three days and three nights.

Two months later, someone stood on the rooftop and called me in tears, “Benjamin, that woman gave birth to a child. The media is following me! I don't want to live anymore!”

I rushed to the rooftop and announced to all the reporters, “The baby is ours.”

Overnight, I became the laughingstock of the entire Luxembourg elite circle. That night Catherine knelt in front of me, her eyes red. Her voice also choked.

“Benjamin, Herbert has depression. If I don't help him, he will die! When this gust of wind passes, I'll make it up to you, okay?”

I loved her so much that I could only bite my tongue and agree. But the next day, the overwhelming news on the Internet exploded.

The man in the pixelated photos was clearly me. I found Catherine trembling all over. And she hugged me in pain.

“The news can not be suppressed. Benjamin, you rarely appear in public. This matter can only be entrusted to you to recognize first.”

She reached out to hold me, but the words she said made me fall into an ice cave.

“I plan to abort the child first. We can have another one in the future.”

At that moment, my heart completely died. I wiped away my tears and dialled a number that had been blocked for years.

The phone was connected and a woman answered. Her voice was musical and tinged with danger.

“So you finally… came to beg me?”

——

“What did you say?” My voice trembled.

“The matter of Herbert's kidnapping can't be exposed. He just signed a big international brand endorsement. If this gets out, his career will be ruined.” 

Catherine's tone was so calm that it was almost cruel, “But you're different. You rarely appear in public. As long as you admit to this matter, public opinion will soon pass.”

I stared dead-on at the woman I had loved for years. “Catherine, do you know what you are talking about?”

“Before, you wanted to recognize Herbert's child with someone else and I agreed. Now, you want me to admit to being kidnapped and humiliated for his sake?”

Her voice was low, “Benjamin, count on me to beg you.”

“Begging me?” I laughed, but tears rolled down my face.“You want me to ruin my reputation for him?”

“Herbert can't handle this matter. He's already depressed.” 

Her voice was urgent, “But you're different, you've always been strong.”

“So I deserve to be sacrificed?” I practically squeezed the words out of my mouth.

“It's not a sacrifice, it's just a temporary measure.” 

She paused and softened her tone, “Benjamin, I plan to abort the child first.”

My world collapsed in an instant. My voice croaked, “Catherine, this is our child!!!”

“I know!” 

Her voice suddenly rose in agitation, “But Herbert can't stand any  more shocks right now!”

My breathing stopped for a second. I laughed, smiling through my tears.

“Okay, I’ll do it for you.”

She was about to say something else when the phone suddenly rang. On the other end of the line, there was a panicked voice.

“Catherine, I had a nightmare. I'm so scared! Will they expose what happened to me?” 

Herbert's weak voice came through the microphone.

Catherine's tone instantly changed as she gently coaxed, “Don't be afraid, Herbert. I won't let anyone hurt you.”

The phone hung up. She turned around and left without hesitation.

The next day, Catherine quietly went to the hospital.

“Excuse me, may I ask where Catherine is?”

When the nurse saw me, her eyes flashed with a hint of doubt. “Catherine? Isn't her husband accompanying her for an abortion?”

My body shifted. My chest was aching so much that I couldn't breathe. She actually brought Herbert to the hospital to abort our child.

In the midst of my thoughts, I saw Catherine come out with a somewhat pale face.

The doctor pushed his glasses and said, “Your physical condition is special. Your uterine wall is thin. If you have forced an abortion, it may be difficult to get pregnant again in the future.”

Catherine and Herbert were both wearing masks. They glanced at each other.

Catherine had curved eyebrows and smiled. “It doesn't matter. I am willing to do anything for Herbert!

My fingers were shaking slightly. “Catherine, you know this situation well, but you still want to abort this child, just for the sake of Herbert!”

I bite my lips tightly until the smell of blood spreads in my mouth. When I walked out of the hospital, the sunlight was blinding.

I turned on my cell phone. The first item on the hot search was:

#Catherine Visconti and Herbert Hoscam sweetly appeared in a luxury baby store

In the picture, my wife and Herbert were clasping their fingers and holding a baby in their arms.

The comment section was full of compliments.

“This is what a talented man and a talented woman look like! Handsome celebrity and a rich woman in the Luxembourg circle are perfect matches!”

“Both of them have children. Why is Mrs. Catherine’s husband still hanging around?”

“I heard that the man disappeared for a few days and got another woman pregnant, so Mrs. Catherine was kind enough not to get a divorce on the spot!”

“Who knows whether he was really missing or just fooling around outside? Maybe he's going outside to mess around!”

My nails were pinched deep into my palms, but I couldn't feel any pain. I turned around and went to the law firm to draft the divorce papers.

When I returned to the villa, the door was closed.

Pushing the door and entering, Herbert and Catherine were sitting on the sofa. The two of them were happily playing with the baby.

“Catherine, is the baby smiling at me?” He laughed and grabbed Catherine's hand to tease the child.

Catherine's face revealed a gentleness I had never seen before. “He really smiled at me.”

I stood at the entrance hall and clenched my fists. Catherine saw me and her face changed slightly.

She walked over quickly and lowered her voice, “Benjamin, Herbert tried to kill himself again today. The doctor said that his depression had worsened. Can you stay away for a while?”

I sneered, “This is my home.”

“He grew up with me, I can't leave him alone.” 

Her tone softened and said to me, “Once things calm down, I will send him and the child out. And let him stay in Hollywood.”

Without another word, I turned and went upstairs. In the bedroom, their laughter could still be heard.

“Oops, the baby is laughing again!” Herbert's voice stabbed at my ears.

It was a scene I had envisioned for a long time. I curled up on my bed, tears soaking my pillow.

Late at night, Catherine gently climbed onto the bed and hugged me from behind. “Benjamin, I'm sorry.” 

Her voice was low, “We'll have more children soon.”

My whole body was stiff.

“Ah--” 

Herbert's scream suddenly came from next door, “Don't touch me! Get away! Could you not touch me? Don't shoot me!”

Catherine bounced up violently. She didn't even have time to wear slippers, so she rushed straight out. All night long, the corridor echoed with her gentle words of comfort.

Early in the morning, I dragged my tired body downstairs. And the aroma of fried eggs wafted from the kitchen.

Catherine stood in front of the stove. Herbert quietly encircled her waist from behind and put his face on her back.

Seeing me, he immediately let go of his grip and spoke cautiously, “Benjamin, I have a bit of a headache. Can you let Catherine take off my bandage?”

Without saying a word, Catherine turned around and went upstairs.

Herbert's apologetic look vanished in an instant. He leaned closer to me. The corner of his mouth hooked up.

“Catherine said that your child shouldn't have been kept in the first place.”

I looked up sharply. My fingertips trembling uncontrollably.

He smiled contemptuously and lowered his voice, “Do you know about the Marvelli Family? The backer behind me is the Marvelli Family.”

He purposely paused, admiring my sudden change of face “If the Marvelli Family moves a finger, the Luxembourg city would have to quake. What are you going to fight me with?”

I clenched my fists in death.

The Marvelli Family was a truly wealthy family, a century-old family and controlled the economic lifeline of half of the country. Not to mention the Beaulieu Family, even the entire Luxembourg city's powerful and wealthy people combined were nothing more than ants in front of the Marvelli Family.

He suddenly staggered back and fell to the ground, shouting loudly, “Benjamin, I know you hate me for snatching Catherine! I'm going to die right now!”

“Benjamin Lament!” 

Catherine rushed downstairs and pushed me away fiercely. I stumbled and hit the coffee table. My waist hurt a lot.

As she helped Herbert up, her eyes were cold and piercing. “What did you do to him? Can you stop being irrational and making trouble?”

“I didn't do anything!” My voice trembled.

“You better not have!” 

She pulled Herbert and walked out the door without looking back. “Herbert, let's go.”

I stood in the living room. My hands were unable to stop shaking.

Catherine hadn't been home for two days. I stood in the living room and took down our wedding photos one by one. 

When the photo frame fell into the trash can, it made a dull "bang". My cell phone vibrated and the screen lit up.

“Benjamin, I'll have someone come to pick up something and you can give it to him for me.”

In the closet room, the watch worth ten million dollars was lying quietly in the drawer. 

I remember that when she took it, she said, “This is for the most important person.”

I stared at the watch for a long time and suddenly smiled. I took the watch out expressionlessly, handed it to the driver and then drew out a copy of the divorce papers.

My voice was calm at him, “Wait, give me a ride. I'll deliver it myself.”

The driver hesitated and asked me to get in the car. The car parked outside the luxury manor, with bright lights inside and a melodious symphony.

“Mr. Herbert, happy birthday!” 

The sound of blessings came from here and there. I walked in and everyone's eyes instantly fell on me.

“Isn't this Mrs.Catherine's loser husband? What’s with those clothes like this? It’s so rustic!”

“I heard that he's stalking her to death, so shameless.”

“Mrs. Catherine should have dumped him a long time ago. Mrs. Catherine and Herbert have a child, so why is he still sticking around?”

“I heard that he deliberately pushed Herbert in order to keep Mrs. Catherine. What a ruthless man!”

I turned a deaf ear and walked towards them step by step.

Catherine saw me and frowned. “Benjamin, why are you here?”

I smiled. “Congratulations on Herbert's birthday. How could I not come?”

After saying that, I handed over the watch box. “Here’s something you wanted.”

Herbert's eyes lit up, he reached out to take it and deliberately opened it in front of me. “Catherine, is this for me?”

Catherine didn't say anything. Her eyes glanced at me in a complicated manner.

Herbert said, “You can help me put it on.”

She was silent for two seconds, picked up the watch, put her fingers on his wrist and put on the watch. Herbert wrapped his arms around her neck, kissed her heavily on the cheek and looked provocatively at me.

I did not say anything. Suddenly, he stumbled, “Ah!”

Catherine rushed over in an arrow step to hold him up, turning his head to look at me angrily. “What are you doing again now?”

I was silent as I handed over the document bag. “Sign it.”

She was just about to open her mouth when Herbert suddenly shook his body. “Catherine, my legs hurt!”
