Until I was nine months pregnant .
It started with his secretary offending an important client .
To keep the deal intact , Sean Carter- my .
husband demanded I apologize on his behalf by joining them for drinks .
I stared at him in disbelief .
Im pregnant .
You want me to drink ? What if something happens- He cut me off impatiently .
Its just a drink , not to take your life .
Annoyed by my hesitation , he encouraged them to keep pouring drinks down my throat .
The fiery alcohol scorched my throat, triggering premature labour .
While I fought for my life in the hospital , he spent the night with his secretary in the countryside villa .
When I woke up after delivering the baby , I turned to my mother in law .
Mom , you promised me have the baby , and I could leave .
Can I go now ? Her face twisted with conflict and guilt .
Aria , wont you give him one last chance ? He- Before she could finish , the hospital room TV blared with breaking news .
The screen showed Sean holding a woman draped in his jacket as they exited a car .
She leaned against his chest , her face flushed with something more than just warmth .
Though her body was mostly covered , the camera caught a tantalizing glimpse of her bare thigh , dotted with suspicious red marks .
No explanation was needed .
It didnt take much to know that the two of them had just experienced a heated battle in the car .
A reporters voice filled the room : Sean Carter , CEO of the Carter Group , was spotted with a mysterious woman … When my mother in law saw this news , she was so furious that her chest rose and fell strongly , her breathing was rapid , and her whole body was filled with anger .
Anger contorted her face , but when < 50 % 22:05 Wed , 26 Feb breathing was rapid , and her whole body was filled with anger .
Anger contorted her face , but when her gaze landed on me , it softened into guilt and sorrow .
Tears welled in her eyes .
She struggled to speak but then choked out , Fine .
Ill help you with the divorce .
Look at her choking and wiping tears , my heart like something blocked , pain pricked at my chest , sharp and relentless .
Still , I held firm .
Thank you , Mom .
I hadnt even looked at the child Id just birthed .
All I knew was that he weighed four pounds and five ounces , with pale , delicate skin and looked like me .
A nurse approached .
I was told to go and see him , to see the baby I had fought so hard to give birth to .
I shook my head .
No.
As long as hes healthy , thats all that matters .
If I didnt see him , there would be no thoughts .
Because if I did , Id never be able to let him go .
But there was no way I could continue to stay in the Carter Family .
It was better than leaving with me and living a life of uncertainty .
It would be best for him to stay in the Carter Family .
I lay on the hospital bed and looked out the window .
Thinking about leaving here and where I can go .
I was abandoned from birth and grew up in an orphanage .
No relatives whose blood is thicker than water , no friends who can depend on each other .
I was like a tiny sailboat adrift on the vast ocean , without a port to call home .
My mother in law felt sorry for me and was even more angry at Seans inaction .
She took out her cell phone and called him frequently , trying to get him to come and see us .
Finally , on her last attempt , someone answered .
All she got in response was a cold , mechanical female voice .
it wasnt Sean .
Madam , Mr.
Carter is in a meeting right now .
You can call back later …
