Love In Disguise: Rebirth of the Heiress
Chapter 107

Chapter 107: Chapter 107

"You know how much I wanted a child, and you dare to want to use it against me."

Tears blurred my vision as I pleaded, "Ethan, please, I’m not lying. Our child deserves a chance at life, and I deserve a chance to prove my innocence."

He turned away, refusing to meet my desperate gaze. "Save your lies for someone who believes them. You’re right where you belong."

I struggled to get up to my feet but couldn’t, and just laid there. If I get kicked out, I have nowhere to go. No family. No home. My home, my life was with him.

"Would it not matter to you what happened to me or the child?" I asked, exhausted from begging and consumed by pain and tears. If he wanted to discard me, then so be it.

The question seemed to stop Ethan in his tracks, and he slowly turned around to face me. I hoped I had touched a chord in his heart, but I was wrong.

"Enough with all this," he finally said, "I need time to think. Guards, keep her away until I reach a decision."

The guards dragged me away, and I couldn’t help but scream, "Ethan, don’t do this! I love you! Please, I’ll do anything to make things right!" But the guards were unfazed by my pleas and carried out their cruel task.

As the pain intensified, so did my desperation. "I love you, Ethan. Our child deserves a chance at a family. Please, don’t let this be our end." I repeated, hoping against hope that he would listen.

As the prison guards dragged me back to my desolate cell, I clutched my stomach, praying that the child growing within me would one day know the truth - that its mother fought against the cruel tides of injustice, even when its father had turned away.

Tears streamed down my face, and my heart felt like it was shattering into a million pieces. Like the cracked mirror across the room of my cell in the basement.

The crushing blackness of my cell seemed to suffocate me, making it hard to breathe. Memories of our love played like a bittersweet melody in my mind, taunting me with what could have been.

I remembered the way Ethan used to shower me with gentle kisses, the way he’d surprise me with heart-shaped cakes that tasted like sweet heaven. I recalled the tender moments we shared, the way our love seemed invincible.

But now, as I sat in the cold, unforgiving darkness, I couldn’t escape the bitter truth. My sacrifices – giving up the luxurious life, the status, and the comfortable cocoon of privilege – might have been in vain. My grandfather’s warnings echoed in my mind like a haunting refrain. "Oh, grandfather, how I wished I had listened to you," I whispered, my voice cracking with emotion.

I wondered where had it all gone wrong. "What happened to the man I had loved?"

"Keep quiet!" A guard said from outside.

I didn’t say anything as I stared at nothing in particular.

The pain of my heartbreak felt like a physical ache, a heavy weight that pressed upon my chest. I felt like I was drowning in a sea of despair, unable to find a lifeline to cling to. The thought of Ethan, the man I loved, rejecting me and our child was almost too much to bear.

I laid down on the cold hard floor, closed my eyes, and cried myself to sleep.

Chapter 2

Two years before

Daniella’s PoV

Being young was beautiful, being a woman was amazing, and being in love was the best.

I grinned as I felt Ethan’s hand in mine, we were running down the street of Etheria, my hair whipping in the wind as I ran laughing like crazy. The sun was warm against my skin, the air a bit cold but I felt warm from having the love of my life with me.

We came across a small church and stayed there looking around, making sure we were not followed by my grandfather’s obsessed guards. Who would kill Ethan if they dare to see him close to my grandfather’s estate.

After making sure no one had followed us, Ethan brought me close and kissed my lips. His warm soft plump lips against mine and I enjoyed the beautiful feeling. I kissed him back, sucking on his lower lip until eventually he let me go so we could catch our breath.

"I can’t believe we pulled that off," Ethan chuckled, his dark eyes sparkling with mischief.

"It was worth it," I replied, breathless but exhilarated. "I’d jump over that fence a hundred times just to be with you."

Ethan squeezed my hand affectionately. "Well, let’s make a deal then. A hundred more jumps, and I’ll love you for a thousand lifetimes."

I laughed, the carefree sound echoing through the streets. "Deal, but only if you promise to always make me this happy."

He stopped, pulling me into a warm embrace. "Daniella, you make me the happiest man alive. I promise to love you in every lifetime, no matter what fences we have to cross."

He kissed my forehead multiple times showing his love and care.

I tilted my head up, and we shared another sweet kiss. Our eyes met, and he gently kissed my lips. It felt warm and nice, like a cozy hug. Then, he playfully nibble my nose, making us both laugh. It was a happy moment, full of love and joy.

"I hope Aurora would be able to cover for you," he said as we sat on the grass beside church Manchester, its towering building covering us from the sun as I rested my body on his broad chest.

"Ethan, I trust my sister, she is the best at keeping secrets. She’d cover for me even if I told her the world’s biggest secret," I said, chuckling.

He played with my dark hair while I brought his callused hands to my lips placing light kisses on it. I loved him for the little things he does, for his handsome face, his cute lips and that dark curly hair that made him look like a sexy angel.
