Three years after Theo Hayes and I got married, I finally conceived his baby. Yet, around Valentine's Day, he personally performed an abortion on me. With reddened eyes, he told me that my heart couldn't withstand the burden of pregnancy. I was consumed with guilt and felt my body was not good enough and disappointed in Theo's deep love for me. Behind a curtain, Theo was washing the blood from his hands. "Theo, actually, if Dolores's current health is meticulously nurtured, there's a chance she could give birth to the baby. Why did you insist on..." "I need the umbilical cord blood," Theo said coldly. "Teresa's condition requires a stem cell transplant from newborn umbilical cord blood. Dolores's child is the best source, but a full-term delivery is too slow. Teresa can't wait so long. So... I expedited the fetus's growth and induced labor at five months. Although the baby won't survive, the cord blood can be used. Dolores wasn't going to live long anyway. It will be her final contribution to the Powell family that we used her baby to save Teresa. Don't let Dolores know I expedited the fetus and induced it. Just tell her it was a stillbirth." Dolores closed her eyes in despair, and tears streamed uncontrollably.

My Husband Killed Our Unborn Baby to Save his Beloved Woman Chapter 1

Three years after Theo Hayes and I got married, I finally became pregnant.

Yet, around Valentine's Day, he made the decision to end my pregnancy for medical reasons.

With red-rimmed eyes, he told me my heart condition couldn't safely sustain a pregnancy.

I was overwhelmed with guilt, convinced my body had failed him-and that I'd disappointed the man who'd always claimed to love me deeply.

Behind a curtain, Theo was washing the blood from his hands.

"Theo, actually, if Dolores's current health is meticulously nurtured, there's a chance she could give birth to the baby. Why did you insist on..."

"Teresa's condition is critical," Theo said coldly. "She needs a rare type of transplant-one that only a closely matched donor in our family can provide. Dolores's child is the best source, but a full-term delivery is too slow. Teresa can't wait so long. So... I expedited the fetus's growth and induced labor at five months. Although the baby won't survive, the cord blood can be used. Given Dolores's fragile health, this was the only way to help Teresa in time. It's a sacrifice, but one that serves the family.

Don't let Dolores know I expedited the fetus and induced it. Just tell her it was a stillbirth."

Dolores closed her eyes in despair, and tears streamed uncontrollably.

Her husband, Theo, killed their baby and even drained the last value from it.

He just used the baby's umbilical cord blood to save Soren Powell, my half-sister.

...

In the quiet recovery room, I slowly came to from anesthesia.

My lower abdomen felt hollow, and a deep ache spread through me-like something precious had been taken without my consent.

In the corner, two nurses were tidying up the instruments. They were talking in low voices.

"It's heartbreaking... She was so far along."

"Shh, keep your voice down. It's Theo's decision. He is the director of the hospital."

"Using the pregnancy like this-to save the Powells' daughter-it just feels wrong."

Tears slid from the corners of my eyes into my hair. It was icy cold.

I repeated in my mind, "Theo, is this what you meant? You told me the baby has an 'unexpected developmental halt'."

He had tearfully told me that it was "for the sake of my heart".

Beyond a pale blue curtain, the sound of running water echoed.

Theo was washing his hands. "Is everything dealt with?" he asked.

The assistant's voice trembled slightly. "Yes, it's done. The cord blood has been extracted and is being sent to be examined."

"Good," Theo replied. His tone was emotionless. "Remember, tell Dolores it was a stillbirth. She doesn't need to know the truth."

"But Mr. Hayes, if Dolores finds out it was to save Teresa..."

"She doesn't need to know it," Theo interrupted with an authoritative finality. "She's always known her place in this family. This is how she serves it. Consider it her purpose."

My heart clenched fiercely. Was it my honor?

It was our child, a living, breathing five-month-old baby.

But to Theo, it was nothing more than a vessel for Teresa's cord blood?

The curtain was abruptly pulled aside.

Theo entered and wore the familiar mask of tenderness I once knew so well.

He approached the bed and tucked in the blanket with a gentle gaze.

"You're awake? Does it hurt?" He offered me a cup of warm water with a straw. "Have some water. You lost a lot of blood," he said softly.

I looked at his face.

He had sharp brows, starry eyes, and a high nose bridge. I'd loved him for a decade.

Yet now, my stomach churned violently.

He had just ended our child's life before it even began.

And now, he could nonchalantly show concern about me.

I opened my mouth and took the straw.

The warm water flowed down my throat, but it couldn't quell the nausea rising within me.

I pushed him away suddenly and retched, spilling water and bile onto his shirt.

Theo was stunned.

A flicker of disgust flashed in his eyes before he quickly concealed it.

He took out a tissue and first wiped his sleeve and then my mouth. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

I stared into his eyes and hoped to see a shred of guilt.

But I failed.

There was only feigned concern and a deep-seated impatience.

"I miss my baby..." My voice was hoarse.

Theo sighed. "Dolores, the baby is gone. It was a stillbirth. Your heart isn't well. If you saw it, you would be more grieved. I've already taken care of it."

How did he take care of it?

Did he discard it like rubbish?

His phone vibrated briefly then.

He glanced at the screen, and his eyes lit up instantly. Then he said to me, "Dolores, have a good rest. There's an urgent matter at the company I need to attend to. I'll come back later."

Without waiting for my response, he left in haste.

I knew where he was going.

He wasn't going to the company. He must deliver "nutrients" to Teresa.

I pulled the IV needle from my hand.

A drop of blood welled up, staining the sheet.

My phone vibrated.

It was a message from Teresa.

It included just a photo without any text.

A tube of fresh red blood.

Another message followed from her. "Dolores, thank you for your gift. I'll live well-for both of us."

I clutched the phone tightly.

Outside, many people were gathering during the holiday.

Their vibrant colors from fireworks cast shadows on the stark white walls.

Countless families were reunited happily now, meanwhile, my unborn baby had become a cold tube of blood.

I counted my heartbeats.

One, two...

In that moment, I realized that I, the woman who loved Theo, had died on the operating table.

I was the titan of Wall Street until an indictment and an ankle monitor turned my penthouse into a gilded cage. To save face, I was forced into a marriage with Elza, a "mute" girl from the Schmidt family whom I treated as nothing more than a silent piece of furniture while my empire crumbled. The night I was poisoned at a high-society gala, a mysterious server in an oversized uniform saved my life with terrifying, clinical precision. They disappeared into the night, leaving me with a silver cufflink and a burning obsession to find the shadow who held my life in their hands. Back home, I took my frustration out on Elza, telling her she was "exhausting to look at" and "smelled like sickness" after her charity visits. Her own family treated her like a stray dog, trying to humiliate her at the next gala by dressing her in what they claimed was a cheap knockoff while whispering to the press that she was nothing but a high-end escort. "Stay out of my way," I would growl at her, never noticing the steel in her eyes. I sat at my table, watching my rivals' stocks plummet and wondering who "The Zero"—the legendary financial ghost—really was. I never suspected that the woman I ignored was the same one solving the equations that were currently burning Manhattan to the ground. The injustice peaked when Elza stood before the city's elite, not as a victim, but as a queen. She dropped over a hundred million dollars to buy back her family’s legacy, revealing a secret fortune that made my own empire look like pocket change. As I grabbed her wrist and saw the small red mole hidden beneath her watch, the truth hit me like a physical blow. The silent wife I had despised was the savior I had been hunting, and she was finally done playing the victim. "We have a lot to talk about, wife," I whispered, realizing I had been sleeping next to the most dangerous woman in the world.

The heavy iron gates of the Wilderness Correction Camp groaned as they released me after three years of state-sponsored hell. I stood on the dirt road, clutching a plastic bag that held my entire life, waiting for the family that claimed they sent me there for "rehab." My brother, Brady, picked me up in a luxury SUV only to throw me out onto a deserted highway in the middle of a brewing storm. He told me I was a "public relations nightmare" and that the rain might finally wash the "stink" of the camp off me. He drove away, leaving me to limp miles through the mud on a snapped ankle. When I finally dragged myself to our family estate, my mother didn't offer a hug; she gasped in horror because my muddy clothes were ruining her Italian marble. They didn't give me my old room back. Instead, they banished me to a moldy gardener’s shack and hired a "babysitter" to make sure I didn't embarrass them further. My sister, Kaleigh, stood there in white cashmere, pretending to cry while clinging to her fiancé, Ambrose—the man who had once been mine. They all treated me like a volatile junkie, refusing to acknowledge that Kaleigh was the one who planted the drugs in my bag three years ago. They wanted to believe I was broken so they wouldn't have to feel guilty about the "wellness retreat" that was actually a torture chamber. I sat in the dark of that shed, feeling the cooling gel on the cigarette burns that covered my arms, and realized they had made a fatal mistake. They thought they had erased me, but I had returned with a roadmap of scars and a hidden satellite phone. At dinner, I didn't beg for their love. I simply rolled up my sleeves and showed them the price of their silence. As the wine spilled and the lies crumbled, I sent a single text to the only person I trusted: "I'm in. Let them simmer." The hunt was finally on.
