Bearing His Child, Burying My Heart novel Chapter 3

Moirawiped away her tears and gazed out of the window at the gray sky.

Maybe the only relief she could find was that both she and Elliott were finally free.

As she pondered, Elliott's call came through. "Daniella, did you go crying to Grandpa again? You ruined my night with Joanna."

His voice was sharp and filled with contempt. "I'm warning you—if you pull something like this again, I will cut off your credit card!"

Had this been before, Moirawould have humbly apologized, tried to explain, and done everything she could to earn his forgiveness.

But now, she simply replied coldly, "Do whatever you want."

Elliott was taken aback by her indifference but quickly sneered.

"I heard you gave birth. Having a child really gives you some backbone, huh?" His voice oozed with mockery.

"But don't forget, I'm the Stone family heir. As long as you're still in the Stone family, I'll have plenty of ways to make your life hell."

Moiraclosed her eyes, recalling how Elliott had acted before.

The first time she had caught him cheating, she had naively gone to Elliott's grandfather seeking justice, only to be met with twisted revenge.

He had used her mother to threaten her, forcing her to kneel on the freezing cold balcony, slapping herself over and over again.

That night, she had listened to Elliott and his lover making love, their voices echoing through the house while she shivered until she passed out.
