•❥• 𝐑𝐔𝐃𝐑𝐀 𝐗 𝐀𝐍𝐔𝐑𝐈𝐌𝐀 •❥• __________________________________________________ I stood frozen, my fingers trembling as I held the pregnancy test in my hand. The two bold lines stared back at me, each one a silent confirmation of the storm that was about to shatter my world. Turning to face him, a flicker of hope sparked in my tear-brimmed eyes. I could barely breathe as I whispered, "I'm... I'm pregnant." For a moment, the silence between us felt like an eternity. Then, he laughed. A cold, merciless sound that seemed to cut through my very soul, sending a chill down my spine. His eyes darkened, lips curling into a cruel smirk. "And you think that changes anything?" My heart raced in my chest, and I clung to whatever hope remained. "This is your child." His expression turned to stone, every trace of warmth gone. "You really are naive, aren't you?" He stepped closer, gripping my chin with a cruel, possessive force, tilting my face up to meet his gaze. "Whores are meant for pleasure, not for bearing my heir." His words felt like daggers, each one twisting deeper into my chest. "How... how can you say that?" I whispered, my voice shaking. He released me with a scoff, straightening his suit as if the moment meant nothing to him. "I married you for one reason." His voice was cold, venomous. "Revenge. That's all you were ever meant for." His words struck like lightning, and I felt my world crumble in an instant. The man I had dared to love-who I thought could love me back-had just destroyed me in the most cruel way possible. And yet, as my hand instinctively covered my stomach, I knew... this wasn't just about me anymore. This was war.
