Chapter 1

Summer Frost POV

‘Congratulations, Mrs Hughes. You are one month gone‘ My joy knew no bounds when the doctor presented the pregnancy result papers to me. After two years of marriage and emotional pressure from my father–in–law, I finally had something to show for it.

Two years ago, I said yes to Xander Hughes, the only man in whom my heart had found solace for years, and we officially got married. Xander was the sweetest and most supportive man any woman would want to have as a life partner, and I was the happiest woman on earth for having him all to myself. However, our two years of marriage had been filled with challenges especially from his parents as I couldn’t give him a child. We had been to the hospital severally but the result was always the same. Neither of us had a problem.

“If you can’t produce an heir, then divorce that woman. I won’t have a choice but to do something about this if you keep being stubborn‘ I was broken when I had walked in on my father–in–law saying that to my husband. I was scared that he would end up divorcing me, but he stood by me and never left, and here I was today, going to tell him about the good news.

I turned off the shower after I was done bathing, grabbed a white robe, and wore it. I stepped into our large bedroom but paused when I saw Xander seated on the bed with a paper in his hand.

“Babe… You are here?” I smiled excitedly when I saw that he was holding the test result. I had intentionally dropped it under the duvet knowing he would find it. I wanted him to find it by himself, I wanted to surprise him.

“What is this?” I could barely read the expression on his face when he lifted his face from the paper and looked at me.

“What do you mean, babe? Of course, you

e, you know what that is,” I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms on my chest.

“Yes, I know what it is…” He paused and rose to his feet. The look on his face changed into a furious one, leaving me confused.

“I will ask again, Summer… What is this?” His voice came out icily and filled with rage this time as he lifted the paper, his fingers tightened around it
