Chapter 1

"You've been married to Emma for three years now, Trevor. Perhaps you two should consider havingchildren.” The old person's grumble sounded muffled as it came from the back of the study door.An icy, masculine voice responded after a while. “Why should I have children with a woman I don’tlove?” Emma Yates was just about to knock on the study door when she heard his words. Herfootsteps came to a halt as the color drained from her pleasant-looking face. The man spoke upagain, but this time with a hint of annoyance. “Let me clarify myself again, Grandpa. Emma and I willnever have children.

You should give up on this idea of yours,” he uttered. “You brat!” The old man began to lose histemper. Moments later, a teacup was smashed onto the ground before a man's footsteps edgedcloser to the door. Out of reflex, Emma hastily hid in the bathroom next door. She had been tooflustered, which then resulted in something unfortunate happening next. A sharp object was slicedacross her waist as she hurried to hide; the stinging pain spread from the slit of her skin, thenstraight to her heart while tears of agony gathered in her eyes.

Emma had just received a notification on her phone a few days ago. It was a message from CrystalSanders, the romantic interest of her husband, Trevor Bateson. Along with the message was asarcastic remark from Crystal. “Trevor has yet to develop feelings for you even after you guys havebeen married for three years. You sure are going places in life, Emma. You can own him physically,but you can’t win his heart over at all. You're the only one who can achieve something so patheticand shameless. If I were you, I would have jumped off the building to end my misery.’ The truth wasthat Emma only found out about her husband's infidelity after their marriage. During the night oftheir wedding, she received news that her husband was staying in a hotel with the well-knownactress, Crystal. Back then, Emma still had hopes of winning Trevor's heart over, therefore, she quither job to become his full-time wife. Yet, three years later, all of her hopes turned out to be nothingbut a joke... She was still hiding in the bathroom when someone shoved the door open.

She stumbled a few steps back and saw a stern man through her teary vision. It was her husband,Trevor. His expression was icy cold and his black suit made him seem even more unapproachablethan ever. The moment he stepped into the bathroom, he pressed his fingers against her chinwithout any hesitation. “Did you try to convince Grandpa into rushing me to have kids with you?Your tactics have been improving in recent years, huh, Emma?” Before she could say anything, hisgaze darkened as he continued speaking, “You tricked me and turned yourself into Mrs. Batesonthree years ago. Are you trying to use our offspring as an excuse to cling to the Bateson Familyforever?” Emma's expression changed as she bit her lower lip. “That's not what I'm doing!” “Then,why did you eavesdrop on my conversation with Grandpa if you're not plotting something?” Hiseyes seemed to mock her as he spoke, “Well, now you know what I think about you since youoverheard our conversation. You have no right to have babies with me, Emma!” His harsh wordsmade her clench her fists with her nails digging into her skin. She had always known that Trevor didnot love her, but the fact that he said she had “no right’ to have his children made her heart achemore than ever.

It had been three years; she had cautiously fulfilled her duties as his wife without making anymistakes. She thought that her efforts would eventually dissolve his ice-cold heart, but she realizedthat his heart was like an iceberg that she could never melt. “It has been three years, Trevor. Haveyou ever... liked me at all?” Her voice was barely audible from all the energy she was using to stopherself from trembling. An odd feeling surfaced in her chest as she questioned him in such a weakmanner, but the feeling disappeared almost as soon as it came. “What do you think?” His eyes wereutterly emotionless. All Emma could do was to swallow all his sarcasm and disdain poured at her,which had ultimately destroyed every last bit of hope within her. Her heart had practically turnednumb from all the pain she felt.
