The night before I was going to tell my crush how I felt, I got kidnapped and vanished without a trace. My family totally freaked out searching for me. After I'd been missing for over three days, they even offered a 60-grand reward to find me. In the pitch-black basement, I sobbed and pleaded, "I know breaking up with you was my fault, but we're just not meant to be. Please, let me go." Jerome Carter's face was cold and focused as he went through my phone, deleting every contact one by one. His voice was chilling. He said, "Not meant to be? Why didn't you say that before we started dating? "Since you've agreed to be with me, you're mine for life." I was shaking with fear when suddenly, a barrage of comments started popping up in front of me. [Wow, this is my favorite forced love trope!] [The male lead is so freaking hot. Seriously, I have no idea why the heroine is even complaining.] Honestly, I thought these people were nuts, so I quickly averted my eyes and started looking for a way out. After failing to escape over and over, I hit rock bottom and tried to end it all. Then a fire broke out, and suddenly my story was all anyone could talk about. When I woke up, I was lying in a hospital bed. My mom clung to me, sobbing so hard that she nearly fainted. Outside the room, someone was shouting that I was a whore. The doctor tried to calm that person down, but the next second, the door burst open. An elegant lady stormed in, her eyes rimmed with red as she fixed her gaze on my still-flat belly. She said, "This is the only child my son has left in this world. Doctor, you must make sure this baby comes into the world safe and sound."
