Shocked and terrified, I quickly snapped a screenshot as evidence. Watching Natalie’s peaceful smile in her sleep, I made a silent vow.

If they were going to go to such lengths, I would make sure the Wegel Family had no descendants.

My heart pounded wildly after placing Natalie’s phone back under her pillow. The venomous words in that WhatsApp group chat sent a cold sweat down my back.

The baby in my womb would be safely born in just two more months. Yet his own father and grandmother were plotting against his very life.

My mind raced, then suddenly I remembered the surveillance camera flashing nonstop in the living room.

Natalie had specifically hired someone to install it, claiming it was for my convenience to check on the baby anytime after work.

After reading the chat history, I discovered that installing the camera at home was “Marcello’s mom’s idea. It was solely for the purpose of monitoring me 24/7.

Realizing this, I quickly hacked into the cloud database and deleted the footage of me looking through Natalie’s phone.

As soon as I closed the laptop, the familiar WhatsApp notification tone rang out. My sleepy mother-in-law glanced warily toward my bedroom.
