Chapter 2: I’m Pregnant
On the hospital bed, Lillian Wright’s face was pale. As Jonah ended the call, a dark glint flashed in her eyes before she looked up at him. “Jonah, I’m fine now, but what about my
sister? I think I just heard…
“Don’t worry about her.”
Jonah walked to the bedside, took Lillian’s hand, and the lingering disgust on his face hadn’t yet faded.
Lillian coughed softly a couple of times. “I know my sister never liked me, but I really didn’t want to replace her as your wife. This time, it was an accident. It has nothing to do with
her…”
“Don’t defend her. This isn’t the first time she’s pulled a stunt like this.”
Two years ago, Sabrina had disappeared for two days. He had abandoned Lillian, who had suddenly fallen ill, and frantically ordered his men to search the entire city for her, going two days and nights without rest. But in the end, he found out that it was all just a ploy on her part, a way to test her place in his heart.
He had been angry, but still, he patiently brought her back home, only for her to laugh and say she had just gone to Japan with Colin for a couple of days. She knew full well that the place was Lillian’s worst nightmare, yet she had still stabbed at Lillian’s heart without
mercy.
Jonah bent down, tenderly tucking Lillian in before sitting down beside her. “If it weren’t for her reckless behavior, how could you have fallen ill and ended up in the hospital?”
Remembering how Sabrina’s neurotic threats had caused Lillian to become so agitated that her heart condition relapsed, Jonah’s voice grew colder.
Lillian wanted to say something, but the phone under her pillow suddenly vibrated. Without showing any emotion, she reached out to silence it, then spoke in a soft, aggrieved tone, “I’m fine now, Jonah. Please don’t be angry. I’m just a little hungry.”
Jonah nodded. “I’ll have the assistant bring something over.”

Lillian, however, pouted and said, “But I want you to get it. From that steakhouse we used to
love.”
Jonah looked at Lillian, who had just been wheeled out of the emergency room. Her face was still pale, and the way she was looking at him reminded him inexplicably of Sabrina in
the past. He suddenly felt a surge of irritation.
Shaking off the unwelcome thoughts, Jonah nodded, gave her a few more instructions, and
then left the room.
Once he was gone, Lillian slowly retrieved the phone from under her pillow…
As Jonah reached the hospital entrance, a notification sounded on his phone. He opened the message and immediately, his face darkened.
On the screen was a picture of Sabrina, disheveled and filthy, her clothes torn, and bruises
covering her entire body. Her expression was blank, devoid of any life.
Jonah scrolled down and responded expressionlessly: Enjoying your Photoshop skills?
After sending the message, he shut off his phone. He refused to believe that the cunning
and deceitful Sabrina would really let herself end up in such a dire situation.
Jonah got into his car, the black Cayenne roaring to life as it sped into the traffic. But within
minutes, the man’s inner turmoil couldn’t be suppressed. He slammed on the brakes, ignoring the curses from the driver behind him, and opened his phone. Seeing that there was no reply, he immediately called his assistant, Viggo.
“Find Sabrina.”
Viggo was baffled by the sudden order from his boss, but before he could respond, the call was abruptly cut off.
Back at the abandoned warehouse, the kidnapper looked at the latest text message on his phone and the half–depleted account balance. He spat out a curse, then turned his gaze toward the woman lying motionless in the pile of garbage.
Kicking away a stool, he took a few steps toward Sabrina, grabbed her by the arm, and

lifted her up. “I gave you a chance, but your fucking man doesn’t want you, since he won’t answer my calls, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
With that, he threw her roughly back to the ground.
Nearly unconscious, Sabrina forced her swollen eyes open, just in time to see the kidnapper pulling his belt from his waist. Realizing his intentions, she jolted awake and began to struggle.
No… you can’t…”
“I’ve wasted days on this, and now that the money’s not worth it, you’re not going to stop me
from having a little fun, huh?”
The kidnapper undid his belt and tied Sabrina’s hands again. Despite her desperate struggle, she was no match for his strength. After days of mistreatment, her body had long since been drained of any energy.
“Please… let me go. I’ll give you money. I’ll give you money, okay? I have money. Just let me
go…*
Sabrina’s voice was hoarse as she cried out, using the last of her strength to resist.
But the next moment, the sound of tearing fabric made her body go rigid, and she began to
tremble uncontrollably.
The kidnapper clamped a hand over her mouth and pressed down on her.
“No!”
“I’m pregnant…
