"Alex, the baby's coming. I won't let him or this child suffer even the slightest harm!"
"They just want me to pay a small price. You can take the hit for us!"
She shoved me forward. My lower body slammed straight into the knife the attacker was holding.
Hot liquid surged from my body.
What Serena didn't know was that today I'd been heading to a checkup. After years of treatment, my azoospermia had finally been cured.
And now, by her own hand, it was destroyed all over again.

The moment I hit the ground, familiar arms caught me.
"Alex! How are you? Why is there so much blood!"
"I'm sorry, this is all my fault. If I hadn't made so many enemies in business, I wouldn't keep hurting you like this!"
She pressed her hands against the wound, trying to stop the bleeding, but it just kept coming. She yanked out her phone and screamed, "Doctor! Get a doctor here NOW!"
"If anything happens to him, I will bury your hospital!"
Serena had always been ice-cold, unshakable. The last time I'd seen her lose control like this was five years ago, on the way to the hospital.
But now, watching the veins bulge at her temples, I felt nothing.
Instead, my eyes locked onto her swollen belly.
