Chapter 214

“Whitney…” Valerie gasped, covering her mouth.

Nolan and Parker looked on in astonishment at the woman with terror etched on her face.

Her hand never left her belly, a mother’s instinctive protective stance.

“Can I beg you? This child will have nothing to do with you from now on. I promise I won’t use it to blackmail you. I won’t ask for child support.

Ludwik, you can be harsh, but you can’t deny a child. You gave him life, he’s seven months along now. In two months, it’ll be born. It’ll smile at me; it will cry and fuss. It’ll be a living and grow up…”

Her voice broke with pain. “Even if you despise me, the child is innocent. Please, don’t take its life away.”

The cigarette between Ludwik’s fingers trembled as he flicked it fiercely, his deep eyes misting with a cold fog.

Those were his children – there were two, not just one!

Could he really be so heartless? It was this woman’s shameless betrayal that he couldn’t stomach.

And the thought of them calling Bryce ‘Dad’ – it tore him apart. He was a man of stature. What belonged to him could not be taken by others.

So, maybe it was better they were never born.

But his heart, raw with the pain of detachment, wrapped layers around him.

Memories of his anticipation for the twins flashed uncontrollably through his mind. He wouldn’t have cared for her so tenderly if he hadn’t hoped, wouldn’t have taken her for her first check-up.

Even last time, when she was hurt and they went to the hospital, he wanted to be heartless, but still, he secretly pocketed the ultrasound image.

The greater the anticipation was, the deeper the disappointment became. Now his head was full of hate. He knew he was beyond reason.

But who could understand the agony of his pride being crushed?
