I was pregnant with the villain's child. He only married me to protect the heroine. To avoid his cruelty, I gave birth and ran away. Years later, I was flirting with a cute guy at my bar. Suddenly, the bar was raided. A group of men surrounded me. A sophisticated man smiled darkly and patted the child next to him. "Go on, say hi to Mommy." Chapter 1 The bar was packed for an event tonight. Everyone greeted me as "Boss Lady" when I walked in. A guy in a white shirt sat at the bar, looking lost. I approached him. Rescuing cute, lost boys is a hobby of mine. I bought him a drink. He looked away shyly. We chatted a bit. He blushed easily. He said he just graduated and was having trouble finding a job. Perfect. My bar needed good-looking staff. "Want a job? I guarantee you'll make more here than anywhere else." My bar was popular with wealthy ladies. Tips were great. He looked surprised. Just as we were about to exchange numbers, a commotion erupted at the entrance. Before I could react, a fleet of black SUVs surrounded the bar. Bodyguards in suits blocked the door. I thought the police were raiding the place. But when I saw the license plate on the lead car, my blood ran cold. I hit the panic button and ran for the back door. As soon as I opened the alley door, a familiar figure was leaning against a car, playing with a vintage metal lighter. "Chloe, you run every time, but you never get any faster." Julian Sterling looked up slowly. His smile was faint, but his eyes were terrifyingly cold. Chapter 2 Since high school, I knew I was living in a novel. I was the vicious side character. In the future, I would be obsessed with the male lead, Liam, and constantly cause trouble. I would hurt the heroine, Sophia, ruining her piano career. The villain, Julian, would hate me and marry me just to torture me. I would end up paralyzed in a mental hospital for the rest of my life. After realizing this, I tried my best to get Liam and Sophia together. Julian hated me for it. We accidentally slept together, and I got pregnant. Even after marrying me, Julian remained gloomy and hateful. If I hadn't been pregnant, he probably would have tortured me according to the plot. Four years ago, I planned my escape on the day I gave birth. In the delivery room, the baby's cry was my signal to freedom. Chapter 3 I ran for so long. I never thought Julian would find me. Customers scattered. The cute college grad shielded me. "Is he bothering you? Don't be scared, I'll call the police." I smiled bitterly and stopped him. Useless. No one dared to cross Julian Sterling. Julian stared at us, his gaze dropping several degrees. A little boy stepped out of the stretch limo. His eyes were too calm for a child his age. Julian patted his shoulder. "Go on, say hi to Mommy." "..." The mini-Julian hesitated for a few seconds before walking up to me. He didn't speak, just quietly observed me. Is this my baby? He's so big now. In an instant, mixed emotions flooded me, and I wanted to cry. The guy next to me stared in shock. "You have a kid?" "She has a husband, too," Julian said coldly. The guy met Julian's dark gaze and instantly shut up, trembling. Chapter 4 Julian took me away. Through the car window, he glared at the staff in my bar. "Chloe, you're something else. Abandoning your child to run away and keep a harem of men?" His icy stare felt like it could freeze me to death. I gulped. "Julian, let me go. I won't bother you ever again." Back in school, I tore up his love letter to force him and Sophia together. He held a grudge for six years. He glanced at me. "Too early to beg." He loved torturing his prey. He used to lock me in his villa, cutting off all contact with my friends. I never wanted to live that suffocating life again. The car started. The scenery blurred past. I looked at him in panic. "Julian, I'm not going back. My... my daughter is waiting for me at home." His eyes sharpened. He grabbed me in disbelief. "We aren't even divorced yet, and you have a child with another man?" Chapter 5 Julian was furious. He took me back to his hillside villa in New York and locked me up. My son, Leo, didn't speak the whole way. At home, he just quietly played with blocks, occasionally glancing at me. Soon, Julian's assistant brought Lily over. Lily is my daughter. Seeing me, she ran over with red eyes. "Mommy, who are they? I'm scared." Julian looked at the little girl who resembled me and frowned. "How old is she?" "...Three." I lied. Actually, I had twins four years ago. But to escape easily, I could only take one. I took the girl. Social news taught me girls need to be close to their moms. I was fostered by my uncle as a child and bullied by my cousins. That's why I was obsessed with the male lead's kindness. Later, I realized I didn't love him; I just craved the warmth he once offered. Julian's eyes were frosty. "Less than a year after leaving me, you found someone new? Chloe, you've got guts." Lily shrank into my arms, terrified of the cold man. She whispered, "Mommy, let's go. I want Uncle Ben." "Shh, we'll leave in a couple of days." I comforted her. The man across from us looked ready to kill.
