Chapter 10 As a woman , Cassandra had proposed to Samuel three times .
\ The first time was at 18.
He told her he didnt like dating students and then publicly announced his relationship with the schools campus belle .
The second time was at 20.
He claimed he was too focused on his career to think about love , yet he kept bringing different women home .
The third time was at 22.
Cassandra thought he would reject her again this time , but he surprisingly agreed .
The catch ? It was a secret marriage .
Now , at 23 , she was asking for a divorce .
In the dimly lit room , Cassandra held her phone to her ear , her wedding photo on the wall .
In the picture , only she was smiling .
eyes fixed on the Dad , Im ready to come home and inherit the family fortune , but I need to repay the Nolan familys kindness before I leave .
She was an orphan the Nolans had sponsored and adopted , but a month ago , her biological parents found her .
They told her there had been a mix up at birth .
After years of searching , they finally found her and wanted to bring her home .
Back then , she refused .
Now , she had changed her mind just like she regretted marrying Samuel .
On the other end of the call , her father sounded overjoyed .
Really ? You didnt want to come back before .
What made you change your mind ? Because here , I feel like I dont belong , Cassandra said with a bitter smile .
Cassandra began gathering her belongings after hanging up when she felt a strong pain in her stomach and beads of sweat dripped down her forehead .
She knew it was her period .
Samuel had taken her to the hospital for a painkiller shot every time this happened for the past 12 years .
Still , he was now most likely with his first love , Francesca Stewart .
Cassandra took out her phone to call her best friend , only to find that her contacts list contained only Samuels number .
The man deleted everyone else from her contacts when they were deeply in love , making her world revolve solely around him .
Baby , you only need me for the rest of your life .
You dont need anyone else .
Just come to me if you need anything .
} Cassandras fingers moved faster than her brain , and before she knew it , she had dialed his number .
The call connected .
Sam , I … my stomach hurts .
Can you take me to the hospital ? Samuels voice was impatient .
I dont have time .
Going to the hospital again ? Whats wrong with you this time ? Cassandras already pale face turned even more bitter .
My stomach hurts .
Cassandra , youre not a teenager anymore .
Stop using the same old tricks .
Arent you ashamed of yourself ? Then , he hung up .
Cassandra let out a cold laugh .
He used to say , Baby , youre so fragile .
Seeing you in pain makes me wish I could take it for you .
Now , he just thought she was being dramatic and making a fuss .
In the end , she had to call an ambulance to take her to the hospital .
After a series of tests , Cassandra found out she wasnt just having her period .
She was pregnant .
Two months ago , they hadnt used protection .
While Cassandra was still in shock , someone called out to her from behind .
Cassandra , what are you doing here ? % Cassandra spun around to see Francesca with her husband , Samuel , by her side .
No wonder he was busy .
It turned out that he was with his first love .
Cassandras eyes fell on the good luck charm around Francescas neck .
She had one , too .
It was a trend for boyfriends to go to temples to pray for a good luck charm for their girlfriends .
She had pestered Samuel for a whole month before he agreed to go .
Perhaps sensing her gaze , Francesca took the initiative to explain , Sam gave me this .
He said it would keep me safe .
You know I dont believe in these things , but Sam insisted on getting it for me .
Cassandra knew she was being provoked .
She didnt want to engage , but Francesca wasnt done .
Cassandra , are you here at the obstetrics and gynecology department ? Do you have some kind of illness ? She put on a concerned face .
