After discovering I was pregnant, I slammed the pregnancy test report in front of my playboy boyfriend. Julian Hale lit a cigarette, blew smoke rings at me, tone frivolous. "Seeing as you've been with me for seven years, I'll give you two choices." "Either get an abortion, I compensate you $1 million, and you can continue to stay by my side." "Or give birth, you take this bastard, and roll as far away as possible." Adults of course choose all. So I took the $1 million, Disappeared from his world without a sound. Chapter 1 I was choked by the smoke rings and couldn't stop coughing. Everyone's eyes in the VIP Lounge were focused on me. Julian looked at me with interest, wanting my answer. I looked at him calmly and spoke. "I choose the million." My answer obviously satisfied Julian. Julian sneered, "Still obedient, Mia, as long as you are obedient, there will always be a place for you by my side." He waved his big hand, signed $1.5 million on the check. Buying out my seven years of youth, not a loss anyway. Teasing sounds rang out in the lounge. "Worthy of being by Brother Julian's side for seven years, just sensible and smart." "Unlike mine, making noise every day wanting me to marry her, not looking at her own status!" "I say, looking for women still have to learn from Brother Julian!" The little girl in Julian's arms was unhappy. Pouting asked, "Sister Mia has a place in your heart, what about me?" Julian smiled dotingly, drank a mouthful of wine, fed it mouth-to-mouth to Lila. "You are different from her, you are my heart's treasure." Lila is indeed different from me. Different from me clinging to Julian's side desperately, Lila just passed by Julian who was buying birthday gift for me at the flower shop door. Just one glance, one glance ten thousand years. Julian fell in love with her at first sight. Even disregarded it was my birthday that night, absent from my 29th birthday party. No explanation. Julian completely disappeared from my life for a month, then brought Lila back. I spent seven years to have a place in Julian's heart. But she only spent seven seconds. Lila smiled and handed me a glass of wine, "Sister Mia, I just came to Brother Julian's side, understand nothing, please take care of me in the future!" I took the wine glass, doctor's instruction in the afternoon flashed in my mind. Blurted out, "Pregnant women can't drink alcohol." Lila was not satisfied with this answer, she looked up at me, a pair of deer eyes looked harmless, innocent and charming. "But isn't the child going to be aborted? Or Sister Mia actually doesn't like me, so refuse to drink the wine I gave?" I subconsciously looked at Julian, Julian frowned at me, "Mia, you won't play obey publicly defy privately with me right, put away your little thoughts, drink it for me now!" I took the wine glass and drank it all. Wine choked me coughing non-stop, Lila still not giving up. Poured me three more glasses successively. Julian then satisfied, Lila sat in his arms, looking at him smilingly. "Brother Julian, don't you have something else haven't said?" Julian hooked lips smiled, "Little jealous spirit, I didn't forget." Finished he knocked on the table, face serious. "From today on, Lila is your sister-in-law! I already proposed to her." Julian raised Lila's hand, same style diamond rings on their hands shining dazzling light. Voice just came out, cheers in the lounge constant, loud enough to shake the sky. Lila looked at me, eyes full of innocence. "Sister Mia, are you unhappy?" Her means seemed low-level to me, these years women around Julian varied, high and low means I have seen all. Julian is not blind, just he willing to indulge her. "Mia, call sister-in-law." I squeezed out a smile, word by word said. "Hello sister-in-law, wish you happy engagement, happiness and perfection, long and lasting." Finished, to prove my sincerity, I picked up a bottle of wine, drank it all. Julian is a romantic prodigal, countless women by his side. He once declared, won't stop for any woman. Once I didn't believe in evil, struggled till head broke blood flow came to his side. Thought could move him with love. I indeed was the woman stayed longest by his side. But now Lila's arrival broke everything. Julian indeed will stop for others. Just that person was never me. Amidst bustling noise, I smilingly took pregnancy test report and check walked out. Not disturbing their good time. Chapter 2 Winter's first heavy snow fell quietly. This is the seventh year I've been with Julian. He is still young, dissolute, romantic playful, craving excitement. But I am no longer young, picked up phone. Julian sent a message. "Remember to send me abortion certificate after done." I know he afraid I obey publicly defy privately, but seeing this sentence, heart still couldn't help dull pain. Actually before coming already prepared mentally, either marry, or break up. But no need me open mouth, Julian already made choice. Phone popped Lila's Instagram Story. "From love at first sight to lifetime protection, Mr. Hale, please take care of me later." Picture is two people ten fingers interlocked wearing rings. Many people liked and commented 99 (forever) below. I followed liked, took out diamond ring bought seven years ago from pocket. When bought, I myself didn't expect, actually could entangle with Julian for seven years. Finally haven't sent out. I bitter smiled once, threw pregnancy test report and diamond ring together into trash can. Opened phone, dialed a string of numbers. "Mm, I thought well, this time, change me leave him." Hung up phone, I went home. Maybe baby in belly unwilling leave like this, or maybe those few glasses of wine down stomach. My abdomen came cold sharp stinging pain. I lay on bed curled into a ball, whole body cold sweat, consciousness vaguely returned to past. Knowing Julian, was my 18 year old year's small miracle. That year I just admitted to college, escaped from beside that father who drank alcohol like life daily, gambled and domestic violence. I thought I could escape everything sad and painful. But not out three months, my father found me. Said raised me to 18, time to repay. I naturally refused, but me a thin weak girl never ate full meal since small, how beat tall big thug. I was beaten nose blue face swollen, hand and leg both broken. He robbed living expenses I earned working day and night, even my student loan. I desperately lay in alley, that moment, I really felt dying also nothing bad. Is passing Julian discovered injured me, sent me to hospital. I not grateful him, really, at least that time I not grateful him. I full chest resentment, based on what I suffer all this. Hate heaven hate earth, hate why he saved me, my desperate life still have what hope. Julian seemed saw through my everything, after I fasted again. He carried my collar, pushed me to hospital top floor rooftop. Roaring wind constantly swirled in my ear, I froze trembling. He expressionless looked at me. "You not want die? I help you! You think you die your gambler dad can get retribution?" Death one step away from me, I suddenly felt unfair. Julian said right, I did nothing wrong, based on what want me die. I tremblingly grabbed his hand, word by word said. "I don't want die, I want live!" His face bloomed a brilliant incomparable smile, hugged me into arms. "Then live well!" After that, Hale family sponsored me in name of poor student. And my gambler father accidentally passed away because car accident. College four years, I inextricably fell in love with Julian. Graduation day, I gave myself as gift to Julian. Julian didn't refuse. I formally stepped into Julian's life, became one of his countless women. That time, I once really thought me and him could have future. Chapter 3 Next morning early, I got up went hospital. Booked earliest abortion surgery. Surgery went very fast, short one hour. That small life I once expected, me and Julian blood connected small life. Just disappeared like this. I sent surgery completion report to Julian. Julian didn't reply. Observation no problem, I took taxi back home. Just entered room, saw Julian holding Lila sitting on sofa I carefully selected. Julian carefully peeled grape skin fed to Lila. Seeing me arrive, Lila touched belly smiled at me. "So coincident, Sister Mia, I also pregnant." I covered cold abdomen, looked up at Julian. Julian doting smiled, "Little dummy, your Sister Mia child aborted today." Looking at my pale face, Lila stuck out tongue, covered mouth pretend surprised. "Sorry, Sister Mia, I forgot Brother Julian didn't want your child, you already aborted, really pity, if he still alive, maybe could accompany my baby!" Heart like instantly cut a hole by knife, everywhere bleeding. Julian called my child bastard, but treasured another woman's child like jewel. Even brought another pregnant woman home on the day I lost child. Start to end, he didn't consider my feeling. Or maybe my feeling not important to him. Because not love, so not care. Love and not love really obvious. Julian nonchalantly ordered me. "Lila just pregnant, she still young understand nothing, you just miscarriage rest, take care of her at home." "Lila already moved to master bedroom, I have to watch her these few days, your things I already let people move to servant room." I calmly looked at him, "You guys hire a nanny, I no time take care pregnant woman." Lila face unhappy, "Sister Mia, others come I not assured, Brother Julian told me, he has life saving grace to you, use you assured." "Now such simple thing you push three block four, white-eyed wolf don't have this way of doing!" I didn't speak, just looked at Julian self-care. "You also think like this?" Julian lit a cigarette, smoke blurred his expression. This man I once deeply loved, accompanied seven years. Now actually also became unrecognizable. Long time, he opened mouth said. "Mia, obedient." Last trace luck in bottom of heart thoroughly shattered, I used all strength squeezed out a half-smile expression. "Since is what you want, then I give you." Then, we owe no more. Chapter 4 Lila's first request, was cook a lunch for her. She shouted want eat Beef Wellington. A high difficulty dish slow work fine work. Lila smilingly looked at me, "Heard Brother Julian say Sister Mia especially good at cooking, later me and baby have gourmet luck, just right saved nanny money." I dragged weak body after miscarriage, busy in kitchen three hours. Served out, Lila wanted me personally serve into bedroom. Opened door, this bedroom I slept seven years already big change. Everything belonging to me thrown on ground like garbage. Original blank wall hung Julian and Lila group photo. Lila wearing thin strap nightdress, face shy. Chest spring light leaked, Julian hand put on it. Seeing me arrive, she commanded me put on bedside table. I just about leave, she called me. "Sister Mia, this Beef Wellington too salty, baby still small, can't eat so salty." "You make another portion for me!" I saw it, Lila is sincere want torture me. Julian looked at my pale face, broken record spoke a word for me. "Lila, how about I order hotel takeout?" Lila looked Julian once, then looked me once, suddenly started dropping tears. "But people just suddenly want eat, I also can't control myself, baby also want eat!" "Brother Julian, do you blame me matter many? All me bad, I shouldn't let Sister Mia cook for me!" See her shed tears, Julian face heartache, hugged Lila in arms comforted again and again. "Mia, go make another light portion." Whole afternoon, I back and forth, tirelessly made three times. Full stood five hours. Whole body like fished out from water. Just returned servant room, haven't had time pack my luggage packed like garbage. I paralyzed on bed curled into a ball hugging belly, abdomen came bone piercing pain. Like someone holding countless needles stabbing on it. Heart but more painful than it. Haven't waited me sleep, Julian suddenly kicked open my door. Face was anger unable to conceal. He grabbed me up from bed, fiercely smashed on wall. "Mia, did I say don't move your those little thoughts!" I pain to tremble, face puzzled looked at him. "I moved what little thoughts?" Julian patted my face, "Still pretending with me now, who told you Lila allergic to mango?" "Mia, I never thought your mind actually so deep, also right, back then lowly climbed to my bed, I should have known your ambition not small!" "You think you harmed me and Lila child death, I can let you have child? You dream, Mia, child born from your belly, forever is bastard!" Didn't listen my explanation, he dragged me like dead dog to Lila front. Completely ignored my body already hit by corners to blue purple. Julian put me before Lila window, fiercely kicked my knee, forced me kneel on ground. Voice unable conceal disgust. "Kowtow apologize to Lila and baby!" Lila lying on bed, face red unable breathe look, speaking but didn't affect half bit. "Sister Mia, I know you lost child very sad, but you also can't harm my child, he is innocent!" Finished she threw into Julian arms, face full sorrow despair. "Brother Julian, our child won't have matter right, save our child!" Julian hugged her in arms, "Lila, fine, I already contacted ambulance, five minutes arrive." I supported body hard, word by word said. "Julian Hale, I didn't add other things in Beef Wellington!" "I swear, if I say one sentence lie, let me die bad death." Julian sneered, a kick to my stomach. Adult man kick without holding back force, I straight flew out. Back hit on wall, spit out a big mouthful blood. See me spit blood, Julian just cold eye watching. "Death near, still want stubborn mouth, Mia, when did you become so vicious?
