âMr. Ellison, I knew you wouldnât be so heartless as to abandon your own childâ¦â Elizabeth sobbed. âLast night, you must have gone back to convince Caroline, begged her to accept my baby, didnât you? So thatâs what happened. Iâm sorryâI misunderstood you. I thought you were cruel. Iâll take good care of myself, eat well, and give birth to a healthy, chubby babyâone who looks like you, just as smart as you. Mr. Ellison, I feel so happy right now!â
David pressed his lips into a thin line.
The details of how it happened didnât matter anymore.
What mattered was the result. And the result was exactly what he was seeing now.
He had lost the betâlost everything he had once treasured, the devotion he had given so wholly and exclusivelyâonly to suffer a crushing defeat at Carolineâs hands.
If she had even the slightest bit of love for him, she wouldnât have allowed Elizabeth to keep the baby!
Caroline had trampled on all of his feelings.
Damn that woman!
David lifted his hand and gently stroked the back of Elizabethâs head. âFocus on your pregnancy. This child -I will have it.â
It was a promise, but also an act of defiance.
Caroline was the one who had betrayed his love first.
She had no one to blame but herself!
Elizabeth nestled deeper into his embrace, wrapping her arms around his waist. âMr. Ellison, Iâll bring this baby into the world safe and sound!â
David bent down, scooped her up in his arms, and carefully placed her on the hospital bed.
His gaze fell on her stillâflat stomach.
âMr. Ellison,â Elizabeth took his hand, âdo you want to feel it? You might not be able to tell yet, butâ¦â
Before he could respond, she pressed his palm against her belly.
David felt nothing.
But this was his child. His gaze softened, little by little.
Thinking about how he had almost given up his own child for that womanâCarolineâmade him feel ridiculous.
He had been bewitched.
Had Caroline cast some kind of spell on him?

âIf you need anything, just tell me,â David said flatly. âThe baby comes first.â
âOkay. Butâ¦â
âHm?â

âMr. Ellison, Caroline is still outside,â Elizabeth said deliberately. âShould we let her in? Leaving her out there all alone doesnât seem very nice.â
Now that her position was secured and David had accepted the baby, she was eager to flaunt it in front of Caroline.
She wanted to see how Caroline would act now that the tables had turned!
Davidâs expression darkened. âLet her wait.â
Caroline waited outside like that until nightfall before David finally stepped out of the hospital room.
He found her sitting on a bench, eating a piece of bread.
It was dry and tough, leaving crumbs on the corner of her lips. In her other hand, she held a bottle of water.
The moment she saw him, Caroline stood up. âCan we leave now?â
She didnât question him. She didnât complain.
Her complete submission only made the fire in Davidâs chest burn hotter.
His gaze flicked to the bread in her hand.
âOh, I was hungry, so I just grabbed something,â Caroline said casually. âYou wouldnât let me leave, and you didnât give me any food. What else was I supposed to do? Starve?â
He let out a cold scoff. âOh, thatâs right. I almost forgotâyouâre pregnant. And with twins, no less. Canât have you going hungry.â
Caroline said nothing.
Of course, he hadnât forgotten.
He had done it on purpose. Making her wait. Making her starve.
Davidâs torment had begun again.
