[Does that fool Jane really believe Simon still loves her? When she ditched him for money back then because she hated the poor and preferred the rich, did she even think he was the lost heir of the wealthy Payton Family?]

[If it hadn’t been for that half-paralyzed old man needing a bride to reverse his bad luck, she would’ve never had the chance to see our Simon again. He only chose her because she was clean and not acting like a slut outside. If not, Simon could get any woman he wanted, right?]

[Do you think when she finds out she’s not only lost her career but Simon is going to get engaged to someone else, she’ll go crazy and jump into a river?]

As I read these, I felt like my blood turned into ice. What I thought was a rekindled act of love turned out to be nothing more than his well-orchestrated act of revenge and humiliation.

I turned my body around and packed my things. I would leave for good.

When Simon found out I was pregnant, he was overjoyed. He kept asking me over and over again as if he could not believe it.

I had never seen Simon so emotional like this.
