On the day Julius Robles's arch-nemesis, Yvette Silva, is released from prison, I—five months pregnant—am dragged into an alley by a group of street thugs. By the time he finds me, I'm beaten black and blue. I've miscarried, and my uterus has been so severely damaged that it has to be surgically removed. Consumed by rage, Julius severs Yvette's tendons in her limbs, dragging her before me to kneel and beg for my forgiveness. From then on, the underworld kingpin of Marisport washes his hands of the life of crime and devotes himself to doing good. He gets a vasectomy of his own accord and adopts a boy and a girl from the orphanage. "I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you, Bee."Everything comes crashing down when a stranger shows up at my doorstep. "Bianca Montes, just because you can't conceive doesn't mean you have the right to steal my sister's children!" Before I have time to process his words, he forces me into a car and speeds straight to Kestrel. When we arrive, my adopted children, Elijah Robles and Emma Robles, are clinging to Yvette and calling her "Mom". Yvette giggles as she nestles into Julius' arms. "What do you think Bianca would do if she found out the children are ours? Maybe I should just tell her you think she's filthy. That's the reason you can't get enough of me in my bed."His eyes are bloodshot as he grips her chin. "Keep your mouth shut, and I'll stay with you for another two weeks." The very next second, he lowers his head and kisses Yvette, and what follows is a night of passion. My phone chimes softly. Julius has sent me a message on WhatsApp. "The company's major project has been delayed for another half a month. There's no one to look after the kids at Kestrel, so I had the nanny take them home first." I feel as though I've been plunged into an icy abyss, tears streaming down my face. All his attempts to make things right are nothing but a cruel joke all along. After wiping away my tears, I book a one-way flight out of the country.

### Chapter 1: Chapter-1

Bianca's POVFollowing that party, I embarked on my journey to travel the world. The next time I heard news about Julius was a year later. He had liquidated all his shares and assets to establish a massive charitable foundation. During an interview, he confessed that his greatest regret in life was hurting his late wife. Because he could never make it up to her, all he could do was establish a foundation, hoping to atone for his sins. As if that weren't bad enough, he named the foundation after me. Oh well, I might as well view it as him using his money to do some good in my name. God would probably let me live a little longer.I heard he had been diagnosed with severe depression. He couldn't sleep through the night and relied on heavy doses of medication just to get by. He had slit his wrists in the bathtub several times. Later on, he overdosed at my grave. He had been resuscitated several times, only to attempt suicide again. Ultimately, he slipped out while his bodyguard

Bianca's POVThree years later, my jewelry design studio had won several international awards and risen to prominence. I had a new name, a new identity, and even a brand-new life. "Ms. Paxton, the invitation to tonight's masquerade ball hosted by the Nordic Chamber of Commerce has been sent to your email." My assistant, Sam Grayson, handed me a document. "I heard that representatives from several of Marisport's top companies are attending this time." I was caught off guard. "Check the guest list. I'll pass if anyone from Robles Group or Silva Group is attending."Sam nodded and got back to me after a short while. "I've checked the list. Neither party will be there. "Robles Group is at the top of their game right now, with all its business concentrated underground, while Silva Group has been hit so hard that it's now limited to real estate and shipping." I nodded without looking at the information he had put together. …The banquet hall was filled with the clinking of

Bianca's POVMeanwhile, I woke up on a plane cruising at 33,000 feet. "Congratulations on your new life, Ms. Montes!"I savored the sweet air of freedom and tossed the wedding ring on my finger into the trash without a second thought. On the day I returned from Kestrel to Marisport, Aster and I made a deal. If I signed the agreement to transfer custody of the children, the Silvas would help me fake my death and leave Julius under a brand-new identity. The plane touched down without a jolt. Aster's man was already waiting for me at the arrival gate. He handed me a brand-new passport and a set of keys. "Ms. Montes, as of today, your name's Esme Paxton. Here's your new identity and the keys to your apartment. Mr. Silva has arranged everything for you." I spent almost half a year adjusting to my new life. The Silva family had given me enough money to live comfortably for the next few years without having to work. Every now and then, I would see news related to them. All

Third-Person POVThe doors to the operating room swung open. The hospital director met Julius' hopeful gaze and shook his head in despair. "Mr. Robles... the blade pierced straight through her ventricle. She lost too much blood, and her organs began to fail... We did everything we could." "That's impossible! There has to be something you can do, right? I invest millions into this hospital every year, and you're telling me it's all for nothing? "Save her! Bring her back to life, or I'll send every one of you down to keep her company!" Julius grabbed the hospital director by the collar like a madman. "She's just mad at me! She only did this to force me to sign the divorce agreement. There's no way she would actually die." The heart monitor flatlined with a sharp, continuous screech. The attending physician sighed and pulled the white sheet over Bianca's body. "Time of death, 4:15 am."Julius barged into the operating room, falling to his knees beside the operating table. He

Third-Person POVJulius' pupils contracted when he saw the scene before him. Like a madman, he lunged forward and pulled Bianca, who was lying in a pool of blood, tightly into his arms. "Bee! Don't scare me, Bee. Open your eyes and look at me! How could you have the heart to leave our child and me behind?" He hurriedly yanked off his clothes and pressed them hard against her wound, which was gushing blood. Without sparing a glance at Yvette, who was petrified beside them, he scooped up Bianca's limp body and bolted downstairs. "Quick, get the car ready! We're going to the hospital!"The car sped down the road, but the woman in his arms was growing fainter by the second. Julius' eyes were bloodshot as he called Bianca's name over and over again. "This is all my fault. So long as you open your eyes, I'll agree to the divorce. I'll give you whatever you want."In fact, I'll leave the underworld for good and start over with you. I'm sorry for everything I've done to you. You c

Bianca's POVBy the time my tears had run dry, Julius pushed open the bedroom door. I lifted my gaze and calmly looked at his enraged face. "Are you sure you can't find any surveillance footage from that day, Julius?"He froze for a split second before he adopted a soothing tone. "That's all in the past now, Bee. Forget it. It'll only worsen your condition." I laughed out loud, yet tears streamed uncontrollably down my face. "Julius Robles, I hate you. I hate both of you so much that I want to see you ripped apart limb from limb. "All those days you claimed you were away on business, you were actually sleeping with Yvette, weren't you? "If the two of you have been childhood sweethearts for 20 years, why the hell did you drag me into this and put me through all this suffering?" Panic flashed in his eyes, but before he could say a word, Yvette beat him to it. "Since she's already aware of everything, let's stop hiding it from her." Julius' expression changed drastically, and
