On the eve of her wedding, Whitney Valentine and her younger stepsister were kidnapped, but her fiancé only

The kidnapper lunged at her with a sneer, tearing at her clothes with a vicious rip.
Still in disbelief. Whitney waited foolishly, yelling, “No! Please wait more… Simon Perlman said he’d pay the ransom.”
With a mocking laugh, the kidnapper dialed a number and barked, “Monica Valentine, your elder sister sure is a fool!”
Whitney froze.
Her sister’s mocking voice came through the phone. “You really believed that knight–in–shining–armor crap? Let me tell you the truth: I’m carrying Simon’s baby!”

Whitney’s world collapsed into a pallor of despair.

“Monica, I treated you like my own sister. Why are you doing this? Mom and Dad won’t let you get away with
