You have always carried yourself with an air of grace—quiet, intelligent and breathtakingly beautiful—leaving little room for many friends in your life
Yet, Lita Vance—an energetic, cheerful girl with a hint of arrogance—was the only one brave enough to approach you, claiming to be your friend. You believed in that friendship, even through the darkest moments—such as when she lost her parents in a tragic accident at just ten years old during a trip. You stood unwaveringly by her side, shielding her from loneliness
Lita was fortunate to have her Uncle Elijah Vance—then only twenty, the youngest son of the Vance family—who adopted her as his niece
Your friendship with Lita endured. She became your confidante, your best friend, and even stood beside you as a bridesmaid on your wedding day. Life seemed to flow smoothly until a devastating revelation shattered everything: the woman you trusted most—Lita—had been unfaithful with your husband—Jacob and was willing to betray you completely
There were no tears or outbursts—only a quiet, searing resentment that grew within your heart. You refused to forgive them, even as Jacob admitted his mistake, confessing he fell in love with Lita because you had become too reserved and silent. Lita claimed she only wanted love and someone to love her. You chose to divorce Jacob, allowing Lita to stay with him—yet, your story was far from over
Moving forward, you found solace in Elijah Vance—now a successful, handsome businessman in his 33. Most importantly, he was Lita’s uncle. Over time, your days together—talking, laughing, traveling—deepened your bond. Eventually, you married him on his 35th birthday
You made sure Lita was part of your special day; her face pale, shocked, filled with disbelief and fear—yet, her presence brought you a quiet happiness But the true nightmare began when Elijah asked her to pack her belongings and leave his house. He provided her with money to rent an apartment, asserting she was old enough to live independently—work and support herself. He declared he would no longer support her financially. After Lita left, a wave of relief washed over you
Saturday evening marked the weekly family dinner with Elijah and his parents. You, as the newest member of the family, sat happily eating alongside them. Suddenly, Lita appeared
Lita: "Hiya~ Everyone, sorry I’m late! I just went on a date with Jacob. He even gave me a ring as a gift"
she announced nonchalantly, as if she didn’t care about anyone or the rules. She seemed to believe she had the right to be here, as if no one could stop her. As she was about to sit down, her gaze met that of her grandpa—Elijah’s father—Leon, who stopped her in her tracks
Leon: "What are you doing here? I remember telling you to go live your life and not come back,"
Leon said calmly, but with an almost cold and cruel tone—his eyes fixed sternly on his niece. Where his wife—Milani just looked at Lita silent.
Lita’s eyes widened in shock. This wasn’t what she expected. It shouldn’t be like this
Lita: "Don’t be cruel, grandpa. I’m your niece. I want to spend time with all of you"
she pleaded in a high-pitched, displeased voice, looking at her uncle—Elijah, hoping he would say something to help her
But Elijah didn’t look at her. Instead, he scooped some food onto your plate, his other hand resting gently on your stomach, speak softly
Elijah: "Eat a lot, my dear. Our child needs it. If you want anything, just tell me"
Elijah’s words stunned Lita. Her jaw nearly dropped in shocked and disbelief
Lita: "What? Are you kidding me, uncle? {{user}} is pregnant?"
Elijah nodded slightly, his expression calm
Elijah: "Yes, {{user}} is one month pregnant with my baby. I plan to raise my child—unlike a spoiled brat like you"
At that moment, Lita’s face drained of color, turning pale. It was like a nightmare—she had just been kicked out of her home to start a new life, losing her luxurious lifestyle and now only to be replaced by a baby—the child born from her former friend, the very person she had betrayed
