Introduction

Harriett Edwards has been in love with Damien Daniels since childhood so, when their parents arrange for them to be married, she gladly accepts even though she knew that it wasn’t what Damien wanted. For the three years of their marriage, she devoted her life to him with the hope that she would be able to change his mind and eventually get him to fall in love with her.
It all comes crashing down when someone fabricates a picture of her cheating with Damien’s brother, Adrian. After seeing the pictures, he coldly said. “I want a divorce!”
And even when she confessed her love to him, his reply was cold and hurtful. “I know. It doesn’t matter. I don’t love you.”
What he didn’t know was that in her hand was pregnancy test results from a mistake he made due to his drunken state.
Years later, they both meet at a friend’s wedding and he is shocked to see her with a set of identical twins that looked just like him.
“Are they mine?” He asked.
Harriett laughed and replied. “It doesn’t matter, Damien. They don’t need a father.”

Chapter 1

Harriet’s mind raced with possibilities as she sat in front of her doctor, waiting to hear the results of her pregnancy test, which she had just taken. 

“Mrs Daniels. I am happy to inform you that you are three weeks pregnant.” The doctor said with a bright smile, and Harriet let out a breath she didn’t know she was holding. 

“Oh!” She breathed out, her heart racing with joy and excitement. With a marriage like her and Damien’s, the last thing she could wish for was a child, but God had other plans for her. 

“T-thank you, doctor. Thank you so much.” She cried as she placed her hand on her chest, unable to contain her happiness. 

She could not wait to tell her husband, Damien, this great news. 

As Harriet hurried to leave the hospital, all she could think about was how this child in her womb would be a turning point for her and Damien’s failing marriage. 

As much as she hated to admit it, it was true. 

In their three years of marriage, Harriet has never felt the joy of marriage. 

What did she expect? 

She had always been in love with Damien since childhood, but it was never the case for him. He never looked at her with love and was only with her because of his parents. 

As much as she hated to admit, she knew that their marriage was bound to fail, but things might be different now with the child in her womb. 

It had to be a miracle. 

Harriet entered her car and sat for a while, fiddling with her phone as she dialed Damien’s number. Butterflies swarmed in her tummy, and her face glowed as a bright smile stuck to them. 

She waited for a while, but still no response from him. She dropped the phone. It was a weekday, so he must have been loaded with much office work. She was used to making excuses for him, but when she was about to drive off, Damien called her back. 

Feeling jittery about telling him, Harriet picked up the call. 

“D-damien. H-how are you doing? Are you at the house? I need to tell you something.” She bit her lips nervously and played with her fingers, hoping for a small talk before she told him about her pregnancy, but she should have known not to expect too much from him. 

“Where are you? I also have something to tell you: Come home…now.” His tone was low and cold like always, and before she could ask him what the problem was, the line beeped, signifying that he had ended the call. 

Harriet felt a tight knot in her chest at his cold behavior. 

Why was she even surprised? He had always been this way. Why did she expect him to change suddenly? 

She felt tears brimming in her eyes, but she quickly blinked it away. The last thing she wanted was her mood to get ruined after hearing such fantastic news. So, she promptly ignited the car engine and drove off. 

Throughout the ride, she wondered what Damien wanted to talk about, as he never paid her much attention. 

As she drove in, she noticed that Damien’s car was already parked, meaning he was home. 

She took one look at the pregnancy test documents and assured herself that everything would be fine before going into the house. 

When she arrived, Damien was seated in the living room with a frown. She had never seen him smile unless he was with his parents or…Evelyn. 

All she ever got from him was a frown, scowl, or a look of disgust. 

“Damien. When did you get home?” She asked, putting a smile on her face. But she was heartbroken once again, and a harsh glare from Damien greeted her. 

Damien stood up from where he sat and approached her. For some reason that she couldn’t understand, his eyes were red with anger. 

“I want a divorce!” Her husband, Damien Daniels, towered over her as he yelled, his body shaking in anger. 

“W-what are you talking about? A divorce? Why?” Harriet’s voice broke, and her chest tightened, pain enveloping her. 

She couldn’t believe her ears. Why was Damien suddenly bringing up a divorce? What had she done? 

“Just sign the paper. It is good for both of us.” Damian said coldly. 

Harriet didn’t know what could be wrong and she would not end their marriage like that but Damian refused to talk further. 

“How could you tell me that without a proper reason? I won’t sign it unless you tell me why.” Harriet was in a breakdown. She was just about to share great news with her husband but things took a dramatic turn suddenly. 

“I really want to end this marriage peacefully for the sake of our families’ relationship, but you just won’t let me, right?” said Damien with a sneer. 

Damien drew his eyes at her and chuckled darkly, showing his anger. His eyes held nothing but hatred for her. 

“You think I wouldn’t find out that you have been sleeping with my brother?” He said.
