Chapter 2 - The Silent Torture
To understand why a billionaire’s pregnant wife was standing in a hospital wearing a maid’s uniform, you had to look at the last six months of Emily’s life.
When Emily first discovered she was pregnant, it was supposed to be the happiest moment of her marriage. But Vanessa, Dante’s incredibly manipulative corporate consultant and secret mistress, had meticulously intercepted Emily’s medical files. Vanessa convinced Dante that Emily was having a psychological breakdown, isolating the pregnant woman in a remote wing of the massive Russo estate.
When Dante traveled for "business," Vanessa took complete control of the mansion.
She stripped Emily of her credit cards, fired her loyal staff, and replaced her expensive maternity clothes with a humiliating, ill-fitting servant’s uniform.
"You are nothing but an incubator," Vanessa had sneered just three hours ago, throwing the black dress at Emily. "Dante doesn't love you. He's only waiting for you to deliver the heir before he institutionalizes you. Put it on, or I’ll ensure your prenatal vitamins are replaced with something far more permanent."
Terrified for the life of her unborn child, Emily had obeyed. She wore the degrading uniform, enduring the silent, agonizing torture, desperately waiting for a chance to finally see a real doctor.
When Emily suddenly fainted from exhaustion earlier that afternoon, a terrified estate guard rushed her to the hospital, completely bypassing Vanessa’s strict orders.
