Story: Twice Betrayed
When I heard this, I reached out and grabbed the wedding photo from her hands: “Give that back!”
“Who do you think you are to address me like that?!Camilla raised her hand to slap me, but when she heard the sound of an engine downstairs, she twisted and leaned backward.
Mason had returned.
Camilla screamed and tumbled down the stairs uncontrollably from the second to the first floor, crying out in pain. I had only looked away for a moment.
Mason heard her and dashed inside, kneeling down to hold Camilla in his arms.
“What did you do?!” Mason roared, his face ashen with rage. “If anything happens to Camilla, you’re done! You’ll pay for it with your life!”
He gave me a vicious glare before lifting Camilla and carrying her to the door.
“My baby, my baby…” Camilla’s voice faltered, and it was only then that I noticed the pool of blood on the floor.
Mason immediately panicked: “Camilla, I’m taking you to the hospital right away!”
“Do not blame Tessa for this. “It wasn’t intentional,” she said before passing out.
Mason did not give me a second glance as he hurried away.
After they left, I stood alone, staring at the blood on the floor and lost in thought.
Was karma finally coming around?
Despite knowing Mason didn’t want to see me, I took a cab and followed his car.
I couldn’t believe Camilla was pregnant; I’d only come to explain that I had nothing to do with the situation.
Mason gave me a cold stare after rushing Camilla into the operating room.
“Tessa, I never thought you could be such a vicious woman. Camilla only wanted to congratulate you on our marriage. Why would you do this to her!”
Hearing his suppressed roar of rage, I lost all desire to defend myself.
“If Camilla loses the baby, I’ll give her the wedding gift I had prepared for you as compensation.”
Mason had always believed that marriage should adhere to proper traditions; whatever other women received, I would have received as well, if not more.
He had offered to transfer half of his company shares to my name as a gift, but it was now clear that he would not give me anything if Camilla’s baby survived.
In his mind, he had already determined that I was a vicious woman.
I laughed bitterly but stayed silent.
Mason frowned and impatiently waved me away as I didn’t respond. “You should go home first. I’ll stay with Camilla tonight. “The wedding car will pick you up tomorrow.”
After saying this, he turned away from me and looked anxiously at the operating room.
I turned and left after seeing Mason’s entranced, lovesick expression; I had wanted to tell Mason that I was not responsible for what happened to Camilla’s baby, and the paternity of Camilla’s child was questionable.
Before my family went bankrupt and we still kept the arranged engagement with the Hayes, both families would get regular medical check-ups every year.
I accidentally discovered that Jasper had azoospermia.
Camilla’s plan was brilliant; she killed two birds with one stone, and Mason trusted her over me.
Realising this, I started packing my luggage and preparing to leave.
