The Canto of Sin and LoveChapter 1

Two years after my best friend got married, she introduced me to her brother-in-law. She married the younger brother, a judge, and I married the older one, a renowned surgeon and team captain.

Eight months into my pregnancy, I was kidnapped.

The kidnapper used my phone to call my husband.

The line got disconnected seven times, and after each call, his patience wore thinner. Finally, he lost it and sent a hard kick straight to my stomach.

Pain erupted, twisting through me, and I broke into a cold sweat. A faint smear of red pooled beneath me on the floor.

One last attempt. This time, someone picked up on the other end:

“Winnie fell at the mall and is bleeding. Stop calling me, damn it! This isn’t about you vying for attention!”

When that threat didn’t work, the kidnapper’s frustration turned to fury. With a violent motion, he stabbed a knife right into my belly.

Just as I felt the end approaching, my best friend tracked me down through my phone’s location.

She saw me lying there in a pool of blood and quickly dialed her judge husband for help.

All she got was a message in reply: [Winnie’s in court. Do not disturb]
