Chapter 1 A Reputation Destroyed
Emily felt as if there was a fog in front of her, obstructing her vision.
She could not see, only her senses were clear!
It was like a ball of flame wrapped around her body, waves of heat assaulted her, Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
A heavy breath blew into her ear. It was the sound of a man’s deep moaning, with the unmistakable sense of domination in his voice.
She tried her best to open her eyes, wanting to see the other person clearly, but her eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. After god-knows-how-long, the flurry of movement abated. She finally saw a tight and sexy chest. On the left breast, there was a black eagle soaring with its wings spread. The eagle’s eyes were sharp, like a ferocious beast, carrying a sense of brutality… It was like the gaze of the god of death, she shuddered to look at it!
“Ah-”
Emily cried out in alarm, waking up from her dream. She sat up on the bed with cold sweat all over her forehead. Her nine-month pregnant belly made her movements slow and difficult. Lucy, who was sleeping next to her, felt her granddaughter’s movements and hurriedly got up to ask, “What’s wrong, girl? Did you have a nightmare again?” Emily nodded in a bad mood and did not deny it. Lucy looked at her grandaughter’s pale and thin face and could not help but feel distressed. She hurriedly comforted Emily, “What happened… was not your fault.” “Is that so? But they are all scolding me and blaming me.” Emily looked ahead, with anxiety in her eyes… Nine months ago, she was still the prized daughter of the Armstrong family and was about to be engaged to her childhood sweetheart – Charles Johnson. On the eve of the engagement, she had unexpectedly lost her virginity at a singles mixer.
The next day, the scandal swept the internet. “Hot gossip! H City’s Emily Armstrong of the Armstrong Family Caught in Passionate Evening with Male Model at Hotel! A Night of Romance Before Her Engagement?” Emily’s reputation was destroyed. Her mother – Evelyn, because of this incident, suffered a great blow and committed suicide.
Her father, William, expelled her out of the Armstrong family and disowned her as his
daughter out of embarrassment.” As for Charles, he announced the cancellation of the engagement a week after the incident and instead got engaged to Emily’s stepsister, Mia! She had become the slutty and unfilial daughter that everyone hated! Even now, nine months later, there were still voices scolding her on the Internet.
She had nightmares every night. In her dreams, there were scenes of her mother’s death, her father screaming at her, and the man whose face she couldn’t remember. Emily was physically and mentally exhausted. She had always wondered why she had appeared in that strange man’s room on that night nine months ago. Why hadn’t Charles been watching her at the singles mixer? Why did he get engaged to someone else a mere week later? And her mother… had always been strong and independent. Even when she divorced Emily’s father back then, she’d done it with class and ease. How could such a strong woman commit suicide over an incident like this?
Too many questions filled her mind, causing a stabbing headache to begin in her head and even her abdomen began to hurt… Lucy saw her grandaughter’s pained expression and hurriedly poured Emily a glass of water and comforted her softly, “Don’t worry about what others say. Grandma believes that you are not that kind of person. Come, have a drink of water.” Emily took a deep breath and stretched out her hand for the glass. Suddenly, she felt a warm flow from between her legs. She looked down and saw red blood gradually soaking her skirt.
Two hours later, Emily gave birth prematurely. In the old hospital on the outskirts of the remote city, she birthed a boy and a girl. Twins.
