Chapter 1

It had only been a month since we got married when Alexander Thorne got into a car accident.

He injured his testicles and lost his fertility from then on.

He clung to me, weeping:"Nancy, I can never have children in this life. Let's just get a divorce."

I immediately assured him I wouldn't leave him.

After all, he was the heir to Thorne Corporation.

To spare him from feeling insecure, I quickly underwent a tubal ligation myself.

Ten months later, I saw him arm-in-arm with Daisy Miller, the struggling college student I'd been sponsoring.

In her arms, she held a baby.

Daisy whispered shyly, "What if Nancy finds out we have a child?"

Alex scoffed, "So what if she finds out? She's already had her tubes tied. If she dares to make a fuss, we'll just say it was an accident. She should be grateful you gave me a child."

Back home, I didn't storm in like a madwoman to confront Alex. Instead, I calmly retrieved the dashcam footage.

The video showed Alex taking Daisy to the hospital on the very afternoon of our wedding day.

Inside the car, they embraced passionately.

"Alex, I'm really pregnant! To have a baby just like you… I could die happy."

Alex's eyes crinkled with a smile. He lovingly wrapped his arm around her waist. "Silly girl, I can't marry you in this lifetime, but all my companies will belong to you and our son. Don't worry, even if I'm married, I won't have children with Nancy."

Daisy lifted her small face from his chest, a hint of jealousy in her voice.

"Alex, Nancy won't agree to not having children, will she? She's rich and powerful. If she has kids, won't our son be bullied by them his whole life?"

As she spoke, she buried her face in his chest, her eyes welling up.

"I don't care if Nancy looks down on me, but if our child has to live his entire life under her shadow, I'd be heartbroken."

Alex gently kissed her forehead, then a chilling glint flickered across his face.

"She'll never have children. After our wedding, I'll stage a car accident, tell her I'm injured, and then get a vasectomy. Your child will be my only child in this life."

Daisy immediately teared up, then lifted her plump lips to meet his.

Moments later, ignoring Daisy's pregnancy, they began a frantic session right there in the car.

In that instant, my rage soared.

Alex, we came from prominent families, always destined to be together, childhood sweethearts in a way. I never imagined you would scheme against me like this.

Well, then I didn't need to consider our long-standing connection either.

As Alex walked in, beaming, my plan was already taking shape.
