Betrayal Leads to Divorce

Fifteen years ago, Nathan and I met in college when he fell head over heels for me at first sight. It took him a year and a half to win me over.

He gave up a chance to study abroad for me, a decision that led his parents to despise me. What they didn't know was that the prestigious opportunity had initially been mine. In an effort to make peace with Nathan’s parents, I voluntarily gave up my spot.

I never imagined Nathan would do the same to stay by my side. This led his parents to believe I had ruined his future.

They called me a troublemaker and insisted I had led him astray, adamantly opposing our marriage. As an orphan, I was already sensitive and vulnerable, so I left him a breakup letter and quietly walked away.

I saw Nathan again while volunteering in the Alps. On that day, an unprecedented storm struck. The conditions were terrible, and the rain caused buildings to collapse, trapping me under the rubble.

Disregarding the danger and everyone's warnings, Nathan dug through the debris with his bare hands until he found me. Seeing him covered in mud, eyes red and trembling as he held me, I realized I was completely and irrevocably in love.

Despite the lack of anyone’s blessing, I was determined to marry him.

After marriage, Nathan, concerned about the pain of childbirth, suggested we remain childfree and even underwent sterilization. I was indifferent about having kids, preferring to take life as it came. Nathan insisted he didn’t want me to suffer and didn’t want anyone, not even our own child, to disrupt our life together.

As a result, his parents disapproved of me even more, eventually cutting ties with Nathan as well. On the rare occasions we had to see them, they always belittled me with sarcastic remarks and personal attacks.

But Nathan always stood firmly by my side, protecting me.

Three years ago, his parents' attitude toward me suddenly changed overnight. They began sending us health supplements regularly and eagerly arranged medical checkups for us. Rosa even started taking parenting classes and eventually sold her home in the countryside to buy a place in London.

Despite Rosa’s change of heart, Nathan always used my well-being as an excuse to turn down my attempts to accompany him on visits to his parents.

Initially, I believed he was just trying to protect me. But once I received the paternity test results, everything clicked into place.

The supplements and checkups were part of their plan to prepare for a child. To keep me in the dark, they went through the motions with me as well.

Nathan’s refusal to let me visit them was because they were hiding that mother and child in the new house.
