Chapter 1 Choice, Despair

Ingford in July is stiflingly hot and irritating.

Alina Hughes in the doorway of the study shivered all over.

Her palms, trembling, as she covered her bulging belly, her breathing uncontrollably rapid.

The conversation between the two inside the study continued.

“I didn’t expect her condition to deteriorate at this juncture.”

The man took two heavy puffs of his cigarette, “How many more times will have to work?”

“About three times, but it’s no longer useful to just draw Alina’s blood, only a bone marrow transplant will help.”

As a doctor, Nova Turner couldn’t bear it either, but had to force Caleb Collins to make a choice for the sake of his patients.

“But, if the operation carries out, you will definitely not be able to keep your baby.”

“Even if you can barely keep it, it will become deformed or mentally retarded because of the drugs, and Alina’s life will be in danger, so think carefully.”

The study was very quiet.

Alina looked nervously at the man through the doorway, only to see the man press the cigarette butt into the ashtray. He uttered before being silent for a moment, “Get rid of the child.”

Coldly he said, “Arrange for the operation as soon as possible.”

Alina’s pupils tightened and her body trembled violently.

She could no longer hear anything at this moment.

She turned and fled to her room, locking the door.

She rushed into the bathroom, took off the pajamas she was wearing and looked at her back through the mirror.

Her smooth back was full of dense needle holes, and piercing bruises around the needle holes, that was the situation bruises caused by the lack of pressure after pulling the needle.

She covered her mouth in horror and sobbed tremulously.

Since she’s been pregnant, she’s never bathed herself, her husband bathed her, so she’s never bothered to pay attention to her back.

Her mind flashed back to his perversions during this time.

It turns out that the tenderness that moved her was all fake.

No wonder she always felt tired during this time, and always slept heavily at night.

It turns out it was because someone came to draw her blood every night after she went to sleep.

So, he married her, not because of love at all. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Rather, it was to take her blood and then her life.

Alina was holding her nine-month-old belly.

The child was soon to be born.

She would never allow anyone to hurt her child.

In the evening, at the dinner table, the man’s face was indifferent, but not as cold as in the study.

He served her a bowl of soup with his own hands.

“You are weak, drink it.”

After being married, Caleb has always spoken to her in a commanding tone, and she seems to have long since gotten used to obeying.

But this time, Alina’s hand with the fork stopped.

She looked to the man who had been married to her for two years. At the moment his tenderness was as intoxicating to her as a drug, but it was the source that took her life.

He said the child had to be disposed of.

Alina jerked up that the soup bowl was slammed on the floor by her, like their marriage, split.

The warm soup stained the man’s pants.

Caleb was suddenly furious, and the next second, he quickly suppressed his temper.

He soothingly touched her forehead, “What’s wrong? Do you want Nova to come over?”

“Come and get Nova to draw my blood?”

For a while, the surroundings were very quiet.

Alina bit her lip, held back the tears in her eyes, and glared hard at Caleb.

She was waiting for him to give her an explanation.

She was dragged to him, who always treated her with the roughest movements.

His disguised gentleness had disappeared, “You know it?”

Her neck was pinched hard by him, “Then you should be clear about your situation, you can only cooperate with our actions.”

Yeah, she never had a choice in front of him.

The Collins family is a top-tier family with huge business assets.

No one has ever dared to stop what he wants to do, no one can stop it.

Alina saw his cold eyes, and her tears could no longer be controlled.

She was suffocating for breath, her neck was in his grip, and she was blushing with pain.

Caleb saw her pale and let go of her as soon as he could, saying grimly, “Now that you know all about it, think about what compensation you want and I’ll satisfy you as much as I can.”

He left without looking back, while she was pushed against the wall and fell to the floor.

Compensation?

Alina closed her eyes, was it possible that this marriage was a conspiracy from the beginning?

She shuddered, “Tell me who she is.”

The one who made him abandon his wife and child.

What kind of person could occupy such an important place in his heart.

Caleb stopped in his tracks, not expecting her to just want an answer.

And he didn’t answer.

“The surgery is scheduled for three days from now, so figure out what you want.”

Caleb left without a backward glance, giving her what he can.

There was no point in bothering with what he can’t give.

After the door was closed, Alina opened her eyes with despair and sadness.

Alina gathered her valuable things and when she walked to the door, she looked back at the room she had lived in for two years for the last time.

The room was very cozy, clean, and filled with things he had sent over, each extravagantly.

But she now felt great irony.

Lois saw her physically unwieldy and struggling to carry her suitcase down the stairs.

That strained look scared the hearts of the onlookers, “Lady Alina, it’s late night, what are you doing, give it to me.”

“You’re nine months pregnant, don’t move, Master Caleb values you and the baby above all else.”

Alina could only laugh mockingly.

He wanted to kill her child with his own hands.

She held back her tears, and her hoarse voice made it even harder, “Lois, take a message to him.”

Alina took a deep breath, “I’ve already prepared the divorce agreement and sent it to his email, and I’m not going to have any surgery.”

After that, regardless of what Lois said, she walked out the door with her suitcase.

Every step of a pregnant woman who is about to give birth and walking around with a suitcase is a cause for concern.

Suddenly the weather changed abruptly and it started to rain heavily.

Alina stood in front of the villa, drenched in rain and shivering with cold, but she stepped firmly into the rain.

The sound of the emergency brakes sounded, and the splash of the wheels splashed water all over Alina’s body.

A man got out of the car and came to her side respectfully, “Lady Alina.”

It’s Brandon Porter, one of the special assistants of Caleb.

Alina didn’t seem to see him, and walked past Brandon like a ghost.

Brandon stopped her, “Mr. Collins asked me to take you to the hospital.”

As soon as he said that, the suitcase was snatched by Brandon, who respectfully pulled open the car door for her.

Many women would like to go into his car.

But at this moment, Alina only felt that this car was the funeral car that would pull her to the funeral home.

As soon as she got into this car, she would be sent straight to hell.

“I’m not going.”

“There was a sudden accident at the hospital and the operation had to be brought forward. Mr. Collins said to bring you there at all costs, Lady Alina, please don’t make it difficult for me.”

Brandon’s tone sounded polite, but clearly threatening.

Alina’s mouth lifted in the corners with a touch of sadness.

So she had to go.

She was a woman with nine months pregnant, and she could not put up with the dragging of a strong man.

The car made its way to the hospital and her voice was calm, “If I don’t go, that woman will die, right?”

“Yes.”

“Then let her die.”

He chose that woman after all.

But Caleb knew that she was nine months pregnant. The baby in her belly is moving every day, and it’s about to be born.

No one answered her words again.

Alina took a deep breath, looked out the window at Hasnan Bridge, and spoke again, “Who is she?”

“Emma Bell.”

Alina was shocked.

Alina suddenly reached out and grabbed the steering wheel hard.

Brandon’s panicked voice came out, “Lady Alina, what are you doing? Get your hands off.”

At this moment Alina can’t hear anything, she has nothing left and Emma doesn’t want to continue her life with her child’s life.

With a force, the front of the car crashed through the railing of the Hasnan Bridge, directly into the river.

Choking on the cold water in her lungs, Alina spread her hands and let the water wrap around her as she died peacefully.

Her stomach was suddenly very painful. Did her child know that it were abandoned?

In just a few minutes, the bridge was congested with traffic.

Police cars and cars of the Collins family were blocked at the end of the bridge by a long convoy of traffic.

Chapter 2 Return

Three years and two months had passed.

Ingford Wedding Expo, a bridal show that brings together all kinds of big international designers.

The woman in the luxurious dress smiled and elegantly took the man’s arm, only to hear the man beside her ask warmly, “All ready?”

“Sure.”

She smiled.

Joslan Hughes was a well-known designer, no one knows who she really is.

She became famous in the wedding dress design world two years ago with a wedding dress called ‘Beginning’, and later became a global sensation with ‘Ending’.

Joslan Hughes is a name that no one in the design community knows.

She suddenly appeared at the International Wedding Expo today, breathtakingly beautiful.

The limelight was flashing at her and her confident, elegant smile was shown live on Ingford’s major display screens.

“Your turn to go on stage.” The man him lowered his voice to remind her.

“Got it.” She smiled politely at the camera in greeting, let go of the man’s arm, and walked confidently up to the high stage.

This was her first public appearance in three years and unveiled her mysterious face.

She was pretty, noble and pure.

The whole show went quiet and everyone looked at her.

In the crowd, someone recognized her.

Someone whispered, “Do you think that’s Master Caleb’s wife who disappeared in a car accident three years ago?”

“She does look alike, but I don’t think so.”

Three years ago, the car accident that blocked Hasnan Bridge for a full month was remembered in this instant.

Rumor has it that Master Caleb’s wife died in a car accident at Hasnan Bridge three years ago, although no body has been found to date.

“I heard that it was the rainy season, the river was turbulent, and she was still nine months pregnant, how could she have survived?”

The doors of the show opened and an aristocratic man walked in. He seemed not to care about the reactions of others, his eyes locked on the stage.

He was shocked.

Alina on stage and Caleb off stage looked at each other.

Alina’s gaze falls on Emma, who was holding his arm.

She did not know that Caleb would also be the most concentrated man, after so many years, the women around him did not change.

And he deserted his wife and child for Emma.

Alina laughed to herself, she was really stupid at first.

Then she looked at the man in the distance and snorted lightly with disdain.

She averted her eyes, it seems, and since the beginning she has only faintly glanced at him.

“Thank you for your love of ‘Beginning’ and I will bring you more surprises in the future.”

She gracefully handed the microphone to the host and instantly applause roared through the room.

Andre Francis was down there and when he saw Alina coming down from the podium, he gently extended his hand to her, “Congratulations, it was a success.”

“I am honored to have you share this moment.”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Handsome man and beautiful woman are very good match.

The flash kept flashing, recording the moment, perfectly.

Caleb looked at the elegant figure not far away, stiffened, and for a long, long time, he could not come back from it.

It’s her.

She’s alive, she is back.

There were whispers in the crowd.

“Master Caleb’s wife is alive and has become an international sensation, Miss Joslan.”

“But Master Caleb got engaged to Miss Emma a month ago. This big exhibition today is all Emma’s work.”

Now, however, everyone’s attention is drawn to Joslan Hughes’ ‘Beginning’ and is stunned by her talent and achievements.

“Does Master Caleb’s wife come back for revenge?”

The atmosphere was once again lively.

Alina and Andre ignored the chatter as they skillfully and confidently talked to people in the crowd.

Alina’s beauty, elegance, and especially the confident smile on her face stimulated Caleb’s nerves.

He clenched his hands into fists, and almost subconsciously, he went towards that that back, however, he was pulled by Tomas Stone, the special assistant beside him, “Mr. Collins.”

Tomas’ soft reminder made Caleb pause, “It’s her, isn’t it?”

“It’s Lady Alina,” Tomas replied.

Caleb sensibly looked at Alina, who was hand in hand with a man in the crowd, and suppressed his anger.

The show was over.

Alina came out of the bathroom and the hallway was quiet at the moment.

Not far away, Caleb leaned against the wall with a cigarette in his hand, elegant and reserved.

She looked at the man calmly, so soon, he came looking for her?

“Alina.”

His tone was icy, and his long-suppressed anger erupted.

Alina tossed the tissue in her hand into the trash and looked at Caleb as if he were a stranger.

For a stranger, there was no need to say anything more.

She passed by him, but her slender arm was caught by him.

Without waiting for her to react, she was wrapped around her waist, and with a flip, she was pressed against the wall by the man.

His anger was evident as the two locked eyes, and Alina questioned calmly, “Mr. Collins, this is inappropriate, isn’t it?”

Her tone was cold, and Caleb got even more angry.

His long fingers cupped her chin and questioned loudly, “You have nothing to say to me?”

“What does you want to hear?” Alina smiled softly.

Her attitude made Caleb increasingly angry.

“Do you know I’m looking for you?”

Yes, he’s been looking for Alina for three years.

During these three years, he was constantly reminded by those around him that Alina was dead, her body swept into the sea by the swift current and never to be found.

He didn’t believe that Alina was dead, so he went to great lengths to find her, but she was nowhere to be found.

When she heard Caleb say he was looking for her, Alina laughed, “Looking for me to save your Miss Bell?”

“Alina.” Caleb was even more angry. How this woman was so ignorant of him?

“What do you have to be angry about? A murderer doesn’t deserve to stand in front of me.”

She could never forget that he was going to kill her child to save a mistress.

Alina’s smile intensified, “I’m just surprised that the woman who was so sick that she had to use both my life and my child’s life, today seems to live to be a hundred.”

She smiled, “How come she is not dead?”

Caleb couldn’t stand to hear anyone curse Emma, “Shut up.”

“What are you getting excited about, I’m just talking about myself.”

With that, Alina shook off his hand.

The fact that she didn’t die seemed to upset him, because she saw Caleb’s face sink even deeper.

Caleb looked at Alina’s face, he never knew that she would be so a bit of a rebel.

Alina pushed him away with one hand. She stood up straight and straightened her gown with disgust.

She has an innate arrogance and nobility, cold and reserved.

Without waiting for him to say anything else, the man who had just been at Alina’s side appeared.

Andre got nervous when he saw Alina and Caleb standing together.

He didn’t expect these two to meet so soon.

“Alina , it’s time to go back.”

Andre’s words were directed at Alina, but his eyes were on Caleb.

Approaching, the two men’s eyes met, and it was an invisible battlefield.

Suddenly, Andre smiled and took Alina’s hand, looking at her with tender and doting eyes.

He added, “Mom has called several times and said she made you the dishes you love, so let’s hurry back.”

Alina nodded and didn’t look at Caleb for a second.

She said to Andre in a gentle tone, “Let’s hurry up, don’t keep her waiting, or I’ll have to coax her again.”

“Okay”

The moment they turned around holding hands, Andre shot a provocative look at Caleb.

His dangerous voice sounded, “Is he your new boyfriend?”

Andre and Alina pause and look at each other.

Alina said, “Mr. Collins, you misunderstood, he is my husband.”

“Your husband?”

Caleb was already angry with Alina’s ‘my husband’ comment, and now he wanted to kill Andre.

Alina laughed coldly and didn’t answer again.

Only when she turned to leave, her hand was pulled by him.

It was as if he wanted to crush her, “Do you know what you’re talking about?”

“Are you deaf?”

Alina was clearly mocking at him.

Chapter 3 Thoroughly investigate the three years

The conference was over.

Alina had already left with Andre when Tomas approached her.

“Mr. Collins,” Tomas said, sounding concerned.

Only those who were around Caleb during those three years know how he really came to be.

Three years ago, the Hasnan Bridge was jammed for a month and the whole city talked about it, but none of the wreckage that was eventually recovered was Alina or Brandon.

It also made Caleb become more indifferent.

“Find out everything about her for the past three years.”

“Okay.” Tomas nodded hastily.

Joslan Hughes was a name that has become very familiar to both Caleb and Tomas over the past three years.

It was the ‘Beginning’ wedding dress that struck a chord in everyone’s soul, even amateurs like Caleb.

Who would have thought that Joslan Hughes, the mysterious person behind the design of this wedding dress, would be Alina, who has been missing for three years?

In just one hour, Tomas had most of Alina and Andre’s information in front of Caleb.

Not much, just a few pages that elaborate on these three years of Joslan Hughes, that was, Alina .

It was these pages that shattered Caleb’s and Ingford’s perception of Alina.

Lady Alina of the Collins family, in the hearts of the crowd, has never been a loser, and she would not survive without the Collins family.

And today, she amazes everyone with her achievements and talent.

“Voyage International Group in Shirling, Andre ?”

“Yes.” Tomas nodded.

Caleb thought about her tender gestures with the man at the show today, and the ‘my husband’ comment that kept on getting on Caleb’s nerves.

Tomas looked scared by Caleb, said apprehensively, “Mr. Francis set up a studio for her in Shirling, in the past three years because of Mr. Francis relationship, she got a lot of good resources. And in life, Mr. Francis took care of her.”

“Heh.”

Caleb grimaced, Andre looked like a husband. He was even more annoyed and flipped through the file again, “Any news from Brandon?”

Tomas’ heart skipped a beat when he heard Brandon.

Three years ago, Emma’s health was in urgent need of surgery, and Tomas was supposed to go to pick up Alina, but Brandon went ahead of him.

Instead of getting her to the hospital, Brandon ended up missing in the crash with Alina.

It must be said that for three years Caleb has suspected that Alina is not dead because even Brandon’s body has not been found.

Brandon is a retired naval forces, not to mention the turbulent river to retrieve a person, even in the swollen sea, can also bring people back intact.

“Nothing for now, I’ll keep checking .” Cold sweat continued to emerge on Tomas’ forehead .

Those who follow Caleb also know that he hates people who betray him the most.

If it the betrayal on Brandon’s part three years ago, he is better off dead, or he would be worse than dead if he were to be found.

Caleb flipped through the information, his brow knitted slightly, “No news about the child?”

Caleb felt heartbroken when asked about his child.

At the time of Alina’s departure, her baby was already more than nine months old in her belly and was about to be delivered.

She survived the accident, but what about the baby?

Andre dropped Alina back at Mulherd Manor.

This night, Alina stayed up all night.

She got up in the morning, the spirit was not very good, so she got herself some breakfast to eat and then go out.

The phone vibrated, and when she saw that it was Andre’s number, she picked it up, “Hello.”

“Have you seen the news?”

“No, what’s wrong?”

“You hurry.”

Before the words were finished, the sound of the emergency brakes broke through the rain, and then Alina only heard a ‘bang’. A car hit her car.

The seat belt bounced her back into the seat and luckily she drove slowly and was not injured.

But the phone was shaken and dropped on the stopper.

Andre, who heard the violent ringing on the other side of the phone, immediately got anxious. “Alina, Alina.”

Alina regained her senses from the shock of how the car in front of her was driving.

The moment she looked up, she saw Tomas getting out of the car and giving her a respectful salute.

Before she could respond, the door on her car was pulled open by a man with a warm and respectful voice, “Mrs. Collins, Mr. Collins has something to say to you.”

Alina, through the half-open window, could feel the biting scent of the man in the car.

She sneered, “Mr. Stone, do you have a bad memory?”

“Caleb and I ended our relationship three years ago, and this address ‘Mrs. Collins’ doesn’t quite fit.”

She was not happy with Tomas’ ‘Mrs. Collins’.

Tomas’ face stiffened, and instead of taking Alina’s words, he said respectfully, “Please.”

If since he can’t communicate, he forced her, which was really Caleb’s style.

“What if I don’t go?”

With these words, the tablet was handed to Alina, “Lady Alina, please have a look”

Her eyes flicked to the tablet, and with just one glance, her face instantly changed.

“Lady Alina, will you go?”

“Yes.” One word was spoken through gritted teeth.

She pulled open the car door and got out.

Tomas glared at her, but as if he didn’t feel her gaze, he opened the back seat door for her respectfully.

Seeing the man in the car, Alina was so angry that she wanted to slap him directly, but finally compromised and got into the car.

The car started and all that was left was her car with its warped front end and the urgent shouts of Andre on his cell phone in the car.

In the small space, the atmosphere was strained, Alina was dragged into the man’s arms, Alina was furious, “What are you doing?”

She was kissed by the man and Alina struggled to move, but the man increased the force and the pain made her jaw bone feel like it was dislocating and she called out to him “Caleb.” in a fury.

The man’s kiss fell again, and Alina was bitten and bled. She pushed him away with all her strength, only to be pinned down again by the man in the back seat.

Alina raised her hand and slapped him directly.

His face was slightly swollen, as if he didn’t expect the woman in his arms to resist, and his hair was slightly disheveled.

But the next second, he covered her lips again.

This time, he kissed more and more fiercely.

Alina was furious, but she was easily subdued by Caleb and can’t move at all.

Tears seemed to be falling from her eyes, but she immediately closed them.

The next second, she suddenly became fierce, and almost the moment the man thought she had finally behaved, she slammed her forehead into his head.

The moment of collision, she also screamed out in pain.

Caleb also let out a muffled grunt.

After a long time, the man finally looked up at her.

He looked at her high swollen forehead and met her eyes holding back tears.

She resisted him so badly.

He took her into his arms and buried his head at her neck, no longer forcing her.

Alina also had no more strength to struggle.

The man could not help but speak, “When you left, the child in your belly was more than nine months old, where is the child now?”

When asked about the child, Alina was heartbroken that this man had the nerve to ask about the child.

“Dead.” She uttered coldly, that was her account to Caleb.

In the carriage, there was silence.

In the dimly lit space, Caleb stared at the woman who refused to look at him for a long time, trying to determine the truth of her words.

Alina was indifferent, but panicked.

After a long time, the man’s kiss pressed down again, with a beastly danger.

It hurts, she really hurts.

He spoke teasingly in her ear, “You’re lying.”

“Do you need me to remind him how it’s gone?”

Alina was in pain, with a headache and a heartache.

Her eyes were red with indignation as she looked at the man in front of her. What gives him the courage to question her?

The words fell, the man’s movements stopped and he looked up to meet her eyes revealing her anger.

His heart hurt sharply, and his coarse, warm fingers gently rub her eyes, trying to wipe her tears for her.

Alina tilted her head to the side as his hand stopped in mid-air.

“I saw the baby when it fell out, it was a boy and it looked like you.”

Her voice was hoarse but she suddenly smiled, “Didn’t you tell someone to get rid of him as soon as possible at that time? I wonder if you are satisfied with this kind of death.”

Caleb pushed away Alina who was laughing and crying .

He let go of Alina and sat to the side with a cold aura emanating from his body.
