On Charles' birthday, Emma brought her pregnancy test, hoping to surprise him. But instead, she found Charles with his arm around his long-lost flame, Lily Evans, his face full of disgust as he knocked her homemade cake to the floor. "Get rid of it," he snapped. "Lily can't stand the smell." That night, Emma suffered a miscarriage in the pouring rain. But Charles forced her, right after losing her baby, to donate 400 cc of blood to Lily, claiming she was "anemic." That was the straw that broke the camel's back. Emma signed the divorce papers and vanished into the rainy night. When they met again, she was the pampered wife of Alexander Parker, the crown prince of the capital's elite. She was radiant, untouchable, and completely out of Charles' league. Charles, who once treated her like dirt, now begged frantically in the rain, his eyes bloodshot as he said, "Emma, can we remarry? I'll give you my life." Emma only sneered. Behind her, Alexander slipped an arm around her waist and casually caught Charles' hand as he reached for me. "Mr. Reed, how dare you touch my wife right in front of me? Do you not want your hand anymore?"
