Love That Could Not Last

The Story

Emily despised her father after his infidelity contributed to her mother's death. He arranged her marriage to Victor Young, the man she loved, to appease her. One night changed everything, and she forgave him. By the fourth month of pregnancy, she felt pampered in Beverly Hills. However, on the day of a comprehensive exam, both men vanished. Her father cited an important project, while Victor promised gifts. Before the exam, a video arrived. It showed her father in a tuxedo beside Morgana Ashford, the woman who killed her mother. Next to them stood Isabella, Morgana's illegitimate daughter, in a wedding dress holding Victor's arm. The men celebrated a double wedding. Her father declared Emily's marriage void and her child illegitimate. Victor stated that Isabella's child would not suffer Emily's fate. Emily held back tears and left. Her phone then buzzed with a medical sterility certificate and a message stating her unborn child would be the sole heir if she accepted.
