Nancy‘s POV:
My wedding with Liam proceeded as scheduled.Many wealthy, influential people came to the
wedding.It was a truly big event.
Once I had changed into the wedding dress, I hid in the dressing room, thinking of the past.
After Charles had hurt me, I was heartbroken.I went to a bar to get drunk.
And when I did get drunk, I ended up having sex with Liam! Not long after, I found out that I was
pregnant.
At the time, Nick‘s company was in a pinch and was in dire need of financing.My only choice was to
speak to Liam and convince him to finance Nick‘s company, and in exchange, I would get married to
him.
Now that the wedding was being held as scheduled, I suddenly felt reluctant to go through with it.I
wasn‘t sure if I was marrying the right person, and I was uncertain if this marriage would bring me
happiness in the future.
At this time, the door of the dressing room was suddenly pushed open.
Raina walked in and said, "Nancy, almost all of the guests are here.Are you ready to go out there?"
"Yup! Ready as I‘ll ever be," I replied with a smile, adjusting my mood.
"After you and Liam get married, you and I will finally become family, Nancy!" Raina held my hand
gleefully.
"Thank you, Raina." I held her hand as well, and smiled back!
"Liam is a good person.I‘m sure he‘ll treat you well.I hope you can finally move on from the past as
soon as you can” Raina remarked kindly.
When I saw the worry and agitation in her eyes, I replied, "I‘ve already let go of the past.There‘s no
need to worry, Raina.I won‘t do anything that could be harmful to both of our families."
Raina breathed a sigh of relief and took me out.
During the ceremony, I slowly made my way towards Liam while holding the bridal bouquet.
In terms of family background and appearance, Liam was clearly an excellent man.
But for some reason, I always get the feeling that he was being indifferent towards me.I suppressed my
bitters and completed the wedding ceremony with a smile on my face.
After exchanging the rings, the guests‘ blessings and congratulations resonated throughout the hall.
As I stared at Liam‘s handsome face, I suddenly felt like I was in the clouds.
Suddenly, a sharp, angry voice broke the happy atmosphere of the wedding.
"Liam, you bastard!"
All the guests turned their attention to the woman who shouted.I looked towards the direction the sound
came from and saw a pregnant woman walking out of the crowd, holding a sharp knife.
"Cassie?" Liam‘s eyes widened, visibly shocked.
"Liam, if you go through with this marriage, our child and I will die right in front of you!" Cassie pointed
the knife at her own stomach.
It seemed that she was serious about her threat.Liam let go of my hand, approached the woman,
looking absolutely devastated.
"Cassie, what do you want?"
"You told me that you‘d marry me, Liam.Why are you marrying another woman?" Cassie asked, visibly
displeased.
"Stop messing around, Cassie.Put the knife down!" Liam exclaimed.
"No! Unless you walk out on your wedding with this woman, I will not put the knife down!" Cassie cried.
It seemed that she was determined to go through with her threat.
The moment I heard this, I was dumbfounded: I turned my attention to Gary to ask for his help, only to
find that he, too, looked bothered.
The pain and disbelief of being cheated on overcame my heart.I burst into tears.
"Liam, what the hell is going on?" I asked while sobbing.
"It‘s not what it looks like," said Liam.
"Then who is the father of her baby?" I asked back.
Cassie looked like she was around seven to eight months pregnant.
"It‘s mine," Liam admitted.
"But I‘ve told you before that I‘ve had a few romantic partners in the past and that I‘m not a responsible
and good man.Even so, you still insisted on marrying me, didn‘t you?"
"Liam, you bastard!" I slapped him across the face, glaring into his eyes.
"I really am a bastard.Otherwise, I wouldn‘t have had a one–night stand with you!" Liam touched his
cheek; anger, visible in his eyes.
Cassie shoved me and growled, "Who the fuck permitted you to hit him, huh?"
"He is my husband.I slapped my ‘husband‘. What‘s that got to do with you?" I asked, scoffing at her.
"Why you little piece of… I‘m going to let you know whose husband he really is!" Cassie scoffed back.
"I just got married to Liam today. You‘re nothing but a homewrecker!" I fired back.
In my opinion, Liam would never ignore the interests of our families.
"Liam, are you seriously going to stay married to this woman or are you going to leave with me? The
child in my womb is about to be born. He needs his father!"
Tears welled up in Cassie‘s eyes. I turned my gaze towards Liam, feeling nervous.
"I‘m coming with you," Liam said while firmly holding her hand.
My eyes widened in disbelief.
Nick grabbed Liam‘s collar and asked through gritted teeth, "This woman‘s child is yours? Isn‘t Nancy‘s
child yours too?"
"Who knows?" Liam replied, putting on an impish grin.
Losing his patience, Nick punched him and knocked him to the ground.I was so scared that my legs
grew weak and I couldn‘t help but sob.
Liam chuckled wryly.
"Nicholas, your sister forced me to marry her by threatening our family with that baby in her womb.If it
weren‘t for that, I never would have agreed to marry her."
"But today is your wedding day!" Nick growled, clenching his jaws.
"I‘m sorry that I have to hurt you, Nancy, but I knew Cassie way before you and I love her." Liam looked
into my eyes.
He seemed to be feeling genuinely guilty.
Having said his piece, he took Cassie‘s hand and gently kissed the back of her hand.
Seeing them so intimate disrupted the last bits of sanity I had left.I felt as though I had been thrown into
a prison of ice.
Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain coming from my lower abdomen.I covered it because it was so painful.
"Nick, my belly hurts!" I cried.
Nick hurriedly helped me up.
When I noticed the blood on my wedding dress, I began panicking.
‘‘My… my baby!‘’
"We got married because of that baby, but now it seems that will no longer be a problem," Liam
remarked.
His heartless demeanor shocked me and pushed me towards despair.
"Liam, why did you do this to me?" I cried.
Though our marriage was merely a business alliance, I started to have feelings for Liam.I was willing to
move on from my painful past and be a good wife to him and an even better mother to our child.
Sadly, it seemed that I was too naive.
Luck was never on my side when it came to love.
Both Charles and Liam chose another woman over me, and they did it so decisively.
"I don‘t love you.Even though so many guests have attended our wedding, none of these people
sincerely bless our marriage."
Liam had torn off his mask, revealing his truly ruthless side.
"But… you promised me that you‘d be on my side," I complained tearfully.
"You‘ve always loved Charles, but then you used that child in your womb to coerce me to marry you.Do
you honestly believe that I‘ll marry a scheming woman like you?" asked Liam.
"Isn‘t Cassie doing the same thing? She threatened you by killing herself and her child at this wedding,
and humiliated you in front of all these people!" I countered.
"She‘s different from you.She knows me better, and she‘s certainly a better person than you are."
Liam embraced Cassie, showing his deep affection and tenderness towards her.His words were like a
knife, jabbing into my heart.
Finally, I broke down and began to cry bitterly.My legs were so week that I almost fell to my knees.
Nick quickly held me up and tried to comfort me.
"Nancy, that man does not deserve you.You deserve someone so.
