“Missing? Maybe she was just off cheating. Who knows what she was doing?”
My nails dug into my palms, but I felt nothing.
“Don’t worry, baby,” I whispered, placing a hand over my stomach. “Mom will protect you, no matter what.”
I turned around and went straight to the law office. I asked them to draft a divorce agreement.
When I returned to the villa, the front door was left slightly ajar.
I pushed it open. Inside, Lily was lying on the couch, smiling brightly. Lucas sat beside her, hand resting on her belly.
“Lucas, the baby kicked me again!” she squealed, grabbing his hand and pressing it on her stomach.
His face softened with a tenderness I had never seen before. “It really moved.”
I stood silently at the entrance, my fists clenched.
Lucas looked up and saw me. His expression flickered.
He walked over quickly and spoke in a hushed tone. “Nina, Lily tried to harm herself again today. The doctor says it’s prenatal depression. Can you… stay away for a while? Just for her mental state.”
I laughed coldly. “This is my house.”
