Introduction
Til tross for deres to år lange ekteskap og samvær, betydde ikke forholdet deres like mye for Martin som Debbies tilbakekomst.
For å behandle Debbies sykdom, ignorerte Martin hjerteløst Patricias graviditet og bandt henne grusomt til operasjonsbordet. Martin var hjerteløs, og han etterlot Patricia følelsesløs, noe som fikk henne til å forlate ham og dra til et fremmed land.
Martin ville imidlertid aldri gi opp Patricia, selv om han hatet henne. Han kunne ikke nekte for at han hadde en uforklarlig fascinasjon for henne. Kunne det være at Martin, uten å vite det, har blitt hjelpeløst forelsket i Patricia?
Når hun kom tilbake fra utlandet, hvem er den lille gutten ved Patricias side? Hvorfor ligner han så mye på Martin, djevelen selv?

Chapter 1
"Gratulerer, fru Langley, du er gravid!" sa legen til Patricia Watson.
Overveldet av de fantastiske nyhetene, skyndte Patricia Watson seg hjem med graviditetstesten, ivrig etter å dele den med Martin Langley.
"Martin, jeg er..." begynte hun.
"Patricia, la oss skille oss!" sa Martin samtidig.
Gleden forsvant, og Patricia tvang ordet "gravid" tilbake i halsen.
"Hvorfor?" spurte hun med skjelvende stemme, og prøvde sitt beste for å skjule smerten.
Det var så plutselig, og hun trengte en forklaring.
Martin presset leppene sammen, øynene hans var kalde.
"Debbie er tilbake." Svaret hans sendte en kulde gjennom Patricia.
Hun bleknet synlig og bet seg hardt i underleppen, knapt i stand til å stå.
Debbie, Martins livs kjærlighet som hadde vært borte i to år, hadde kommet tilbake.
Martin tok frem en sjekk og la den på bordet, og sa: "Her er 15 millioner dollar. En del er ditt skilsmisseoppgjør, og resten er betaling for å donere benmargen din."
Patricia ble straks mistenksom og spurte instinktivt: "Hva mener du?"
"Debbie har aplastisk anemi og trenger en benmargstransplantasjon så snart som mulig. Du er en 90% match. Som hennes søster må du redde henne." Martin ga Patricia ingen rom for forhandling. Han ga en ordre snarere enn å diskutere det med henne.
Patricia frøs, hjerteknust.
De hadde vært gift i to år. Men nå, for å redde Debbie, som en gang hadde forlatt ham, skulle han skille seg fra Patricia og til og med tvinge henne til å donere benmargen sin!
"Donere benmargen min til Debbie? Aldri! Moren hennes ødela foreldrenes ekteskap. Moren min ville ikke ha fått depresjon og tatt livet sitt hvis det ikke var for hennes mor. Og nå forventer du at jeg skal redde henne? Ikke tale om!" Patricia bet tennene sammen, hatet boblet opp i henne mens hun mintes fortiden.
"Hvis du har noen kjærlighet igjen fra vårt toårige ekteskap, ikke press meg. Ellers vil jeg aldri tilgi deg!"
Martins hjerte rykket til av ordene hennes. Men Patricia merket det ikke. Hun tok direkte opp pennen og signerte navnet sitt raskt på skilsmissepapirene.
"Jeg flytter ut. Fra nå av er vi bare to fremmede." Med det la Patricia fra seg pennen, klar til å dra.
Akkurat idet hun snudde seg, støtte hun på Debbie, som nettopp hadde kommet inn i rommet.
Debbie hadde på seg en hvit kjole, det lange håret falt ned over skuldrene, ansiktet hennes var blekt.
"Patricia, jeg vet at du hater moren min, men du kjenner ikke hele historien! Moren min datet pappa før moren din dukket opp. Men bestefar brøt dem opp og tvang pappa til å gifte seg med moren din..." forklarte hun.
Før hun kunne fullføre, avbrøt Patricia henne.
"Nok! Hvis pappa virkelig elsket moren din, hvorfor giftet han seg med moren min i utgangspunktet? Siden han valgte moren min, burde han ha vært trofast. Og moren din burde ikke ha kommet for å ødelegge familien min.
"Debbie, moren din stjal morens mann, og nå er du ute etter min! Hva, er det en familietradisjon å være den andre kvinnen?" Patricia så på Debbie med hån.
"Patricia, hvordan kan du si det? Martin var min forlovede. Det er du som stjal ham fra meg, og nå anklager du meg?" Debbie så såret ut og kastet et blikk på Martin.
Patricia svarte raskt: "Siden han var din forlovede, hvorfor forsvant du plutselig dagen før bryllupet? Du stakk av på grunn av funksjonshemmingen hans, gjorde du ikke?
"Hvis du hadde blitt, ville jeg ikke giftet meg med ham. Nå er beina hans fine, så du vil ha ham tilbake. Debbie, har du ingen skam?"
"Patricia, det er ikke sånn," hulket Debbie og tørket tårene.
Patricia kastet et foraktelig blikk på henne og fnøs, "Nok. Jeg er ikke Martin. Dine tårer fungerer ikke på meg! Hvis du vil ha ham, er han din. Men mitt beinmarg? Aldri!"
Med det dyttet hun Debbie til side og forlot arbeidsrommet uten å se seg tilbake.
Mens Patricia gikk, kjente Martin en uforklarlig smerte i hjertet.
Men så lo han hånlig av seg selv og tenkte, 'Hun er bare en forfengelig og egoistisk kvinne. Hvordan kan jeg ha noen følelser for henne? Det må være en illusjon. Tross alt har vi vært gift i to år.'
Da Patricia forsvant ut av rommet, knyttet Debbie hendene i hemmelighet. Så viste hun et trist ansikt til Martin og sa mykt, "Martin, Patricia ville ikke gå med på det. Hva skal jeg gjøre?"
Martin svarte rolig, "Jeg skal få Alan til å fortsette å lete etter en match for deg."
Det innebar at han lot Patricia gå.
"Men..." Debbie følte seg nedtrykt.
Hun hadde endelig funnet en perfekt match for sin beinmargstransplantasjon. Hun ville ikke gi opp så lett!
Litt irritert sa Martin kaldt, "Jeg liker ikke å tvinge folk."
Med hans bestemte holdning våget ikke Debbie å si mer. Hun senket hodet, og et glimt av ondskap flakket i øynene hennes.
'Gi opp? Nei! Uansett hva det koster, skal jeg få hennes beinmarg,' tenkte hun for seg selv.
Patricia gikk ut av soverommet med kofferten sin. Da hun så på den lukkede døren til arbeidsrommet, følte hun seg trist og rørte ubevisst ved sin flate mage.
Hun sa stille til seg selv, 'Farvel, Martin. Jeg har elsket deg i ti år. Men fra nå av vil jeg bare være med barnet mitt.'
Hun tok et dypt pust, tvang tilbake tårene, og forlot stedet hun hadde bodd i to år. Deretter kjørte hun til den lille leiligheten moren hadde etterlatt henne før hun gikk bort.
Mens Patricia tok bagasjen ut av bagasjerommet, dekket plutselig noen munnen og nesen hennes bakfra.
Umiddelbart fylte en skarp lukt neseborene hennes.
Patricia prøvde å kjempe imot, men hun følte seg svak. Etter en kort motstand ble kroppen hennes slapp, og hun besvimte.
Da hun kom til bevissthet, fikk den intense smerten henne til å slippe ut et smertefullt stønn.
Hun prøvde hardt å åpne øynene, men klarte det ikke. Hun kunne bare lukte den sterke lukten av desinfeksjonsmiddel og vagt høre en samtale.
"Herr Langley, fru Langley er gravid. Hvis vi gjennomfører beinmargstransplantasjonen, kan barnet dø. Er du sikker på at du vil gjøre dette?" en mannsstemme fra en lege lød.
"Hun er gravid?" utbrøt Martin i vantro.
Patricia, som om hun grep etter et livstegn, prøvde desperat å fortelle Martin at hun var gravid med hans barn. Hun tenkte at han ikke ville risikere sitt barns liv for å redde Debbie!
Men uansett hvor hardt hun prøvde, klarte hun ikke å lage en lyd.
"Ja, hun er omtrent en måned på vei," svarte legen.
Patricia trodde at uansett hvor hjerteløs Martin var, uansett hvor mye han mislikte henne, ville han spare henne for barnets skyld.
Men hun tok feil.
"Debbie kan ikke vente lenger. Fortsett med operasjonen. Ikke stopp." Martins ord var som en skarp kniv, som stakk Patricia i hjertet.
Hun hadde aldri trodd at Martin kunne være så nådeløs. Han var til og med villig til å drepe sitt eget barn bare for å redde Debbie!
"Men barnet..." legen nølte.
"Barnet betyr ingenting. Jeg vil bare at Debbie skal bli frisk." Martins nådeløse ord knuste fullstendig Patricias håp.
Hjertet hennes verket, tårene brant som ild på kinnene hennes.
En enestående fortvilelse omsluttet Patricia. I dette øyeblikket forsto hun endelig hva det betydde å være fullstendig knust.
Hun prøvde å kjempe imot, å rømme fra dette marerittet, men hun var maktesløs. Alt hun kunne gjøre var å ligge der mens de kalde kirurgiske verktøyene berørte huden hennes.
Hun gråt inni seg, 'Nei! Vær så snill, ikke! Hjelp! Redd barnet mitt...'

"Best girl," he brings his lips to kiss my behind while he caresses it softly.
"Now, I'm going to fck you," He sits me on his lap in a straddling position. We lock gazes. His long fingers find their way to my entrance and insert them.
