The Mafia Heir Wanted My Child, Not My Love

Synopsis

Edward Sterling was the head of the Sterling family, a century-old Occidentian dynasty. He was possessive to the extreme. When we lived together, he always let his overwhelming emotions spill over onto me. Back then, I foolishly believed this was love. That morning, I carried a steaming cup of coffee to his study. Just as I reached the door, I overheard him talking to his right-hand man on the phone. "Edward, when are you going to break off your engagement with Elena and officially marry Evelyn?" Edward's voice came through the door, flat and almost cold. "Once Elena gives birth to an heir for my family, and the child is safely delivered, that's when. I need companionship, but childbirth takes a heavy toll. Evelyn's health is too fragile for that kind of hardship." My fingers trembled as I quietly carried the now-cold coffee back to the kitchen. Standing alone in the empty room, I slowly drank it all, feeling my heart grow colder with every sip. The next day, after a night of intimacy, I calmly took the pills I had set aside for myself right in front of Edward.
