He allowed me to see the true man beneath his cold-hearted beast persona, and I couldn't help but fall even more in love with him. However, conceiving a child with me was the biggest obstacle we had overcome together. Years passed, and we were still unable to have our own baby. But after a few years, I became pregnant with our first child. Maxus was thrilled, but he became quite protective, and no one could approach me without his permission.

Even his older sister, Serafika, who bumped into me one day, received the punishment of imprisonment in the castle dungeon for a month. She seemed to develop envy toward me that she confronted me just right after her release.

"You are simply one of those sluts who aims to manipulate my brother into giving you everything you desire!" she hissed and pushed me away, causing me to stumble and fall to the ground.

"How can you say that? I love Maxus and would never do anything to hurt him!" I cradled my already big baby bump when a small pain shot through my abdomen, causing me to wince in discomfort.
