Long-Lost Daughter Vs. Unborn 'Heir Novel

Chapter 9 You're Just a Child We Took in Mom and Dad would absolutely go through with cutting Chloe's tongue out. If this kept going, Chloe might not even leave the room alive. "Chloe, shut up! My parents aren't the type you can manipulate! "Back off, all of you! She's pregnant, can't you see that? If you touch her again, I swear I'll make you regret it!" Ryan shouted, dragging at the guards, trying to pull Chloe free. It was pointless. These men were ex-military, ruthless and loyal. They only answered to my parents.

They ignored his shouting completely, just like they ignored Chloe's screaming, and snapped her other leg. "Aaah! Ryan, please! Help me! I'm dying!" This time, it was her arm. Chloe was too far gone to scream properly now. Her whole body was drenched in sweat as she rolled on the ground, shaking in pain. Just like her little gang once pinned me down and left me helpless, now she was the one being restrained. No escape. No mercy. Ryan's eyes went bloodshot. He spun on our parents, voice hoarse with rage. "Are you seriously trying to kill her?! *Livia's already ruined. So what if Chloe dies?

She's carrying my child! "Mom. Dad. If you don't stop right now, I swear, I'll cut all ties with you. You'll never see me again!" For a second, I thought that would finally make my parents stop. But they just looked at him, eyes cold and unfamiliar. Then Dad exploded. He kicked Ryan hard in the chest and shouted right in his face. "You've got some balls, threatening us over a murderer! "Chloe only dared to touch Livia because she had you behind her. And who the hell do you think you are? "Let me remind you, Livia is our blood. You? You're just a child we took in." The room went silent.

Even Chloe froze. Ryan looked like the ground had cracked open beneath him. His lips trembled. "I'm adopted?" he choked out. "That's not possible. 1/2 "You always treated me the same as Livia..." Mom stepped forward and slapped him. Hard. Tears welled in her eyes as she screamed, "Exactly. We treated you like our own. And look what you've done to Livia. "I took you in when you were abandoned like trash. Even after Livia was born, we gave you everything. The best schools, the best food, the best clothes. Your dad even handed part of the company to you! "We thought you'd take care of Livia.

We thought you'd protect your little sister. "But what did you do? You stood by while she was almost beaten to death. All for a woman. And for a kid who hasn't even been born yet. "You're not our son. You're a heartless bastard." Her voice cracked with grief and rage. Everything they had given him, all the years of love, had turned into the sharpest betrayal. In that moment, Ryan was no longer their son. He was just the man who helped destroy their daughter. On the floor, Chloe completely lost it. Everything she'd relied on, Ryan's love, his family's name, was gone in an instant.

And if Ryan wasn't even their real son... Then what was she? Would they really kill her here? She looked up and met my parents' eyes. There was no mercy there. Only blood-deep fury. As the guards stepped closer again, Chloe burst into ugly sobs. "It was all a mistake! I thought she was just the other woman! I didn't know who she really was! "I'll pay for everything! Her hospital bills, all of it! Just let me go! Please, I'll leave the city, you'll never see me again! "I'll get rid of the baby too, I swear! Ryan's just adopted, right? I'll abort it. I won't let it threaten Livia's place.

Please... just don't kill me... I'll disappear... I'll never show up again..." She cried so hard she could barely breathe, crawling toward my parents with her broken body, begging them to spare her. 2/2
