Chapter 4

"After the baby is born, you mustn't neglect them. You must treat him or her as if they were your own," Henry instructed.

He continued, "I know you adore children. I can give you children after we get married. We'll have as many as you want. That should be enough to satisfy you, right?"

I scoffed at how ridiculous he sounded. I couldn't believe my ears. He thought that I was furious because I still wanted to be with him. I genuinely wanted to pry his skull open and check if his brains were still intact.

Henry's expression darkened.

"What are you laughing at?" he asked irritably. "Do you disagree with what I just said? Yvette and I are being more than generous, Natasha. We're practically offering you an extra child. What more could you want?"

He continued, "All she wants is to have a baby with me. Besides, the child can call you 'Mom', too. What more do you want? You can't possibly be so cruel!"

I pointed at the door and yelled, "Get out!"

He warned me not to regret my decision before leaving with Yvette in tow.

The next day, one of my colleagues sent me a video. Henry, dressed in a white suit, instructed some office people to put up a banner.

"Congratulations to Mr. Henry Fenton and Ms. Yvette Samson!" the banner read.

I immediately jumped out of bed. After grabbing my coat, I sped toward the happy couple's wedding venue.

I scoffed as soon as I saw the banner. The wedding was being hosted at a hotel. Upon entering the lobby, I was met with a huge crowd. Not long after, I caught sight of Henry.

He was all dressed up and looked like he was over the moon. The smile on his face stiffened when he noticed me. He then began to eye me warily.

Puzzled by his sudden change in demeanor, the guests turned to look at me curiously.

"Who is that?" one asked.

"It looks like she's the ex," replied another.

"Why is the ex at the wedding? Is she here to spoil the celebration?"

"How rude. She's clearly unwanted here."

Everyone stared at me and gradually began to talk amongst themselves. Their comments were harsh, but I couldn't have cared less about their remarks.

The wedding ceremony soon began. When it was time to exchange vows, Henry stared passionately into Yvette's eyes and took her hand.

"I've received word that my company is planning to promote me, Yvette. Now that we're married, what's mine is also yours. I'm going to give you half of my shares.

"Besides, now that you're my wife, your family is my family too. I'll make sure to provide them all with jobs within the company. Marrying you has been my lifelong dream. Will you be my partner for life, Yvette? Will you stand by me and love me no matter the circumstances?"

I had single-handedly provided Henry with everything he had. I had given him his position at the company as well as his shares. He had no right to give them away like that.

Yvette nodded with tears in her eyes. "I will. I'd do anything to make you happy! I love you, Henry."

A thunderous round of applause erupted from the crowd.

"What are you standing there for, Henry? Kiss the bride!" someone yelled.

"Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" The crowd's chants grew louder and louder. Overjoyed, Henry began to lean toward Yvette.

"That's enough! I don't care who you marry, but you have no right to use the company's name for your own personal gain. You don't have the power to give her family jobs, either. How dare you!" I yelled and marched toward the stage.

The venue instantly became silent. The crowd stared at me with quizzical looks.

Furious, Henry glared at me and barked, "I told you, Natasha. I won't get back together no matter what. As the future director of the company, I order you to get lost. If you don't obey, I'll simply fire you from your job!"

"Who are you firing?" a voice rang out.

Everyone turned to locate the person who had just spoken.

A sophisticated and elegant woman marched in as her heels clicked against the floor tiles. She was carrying a luxury handbag and had a group of high-ranking executives following closely behind her.

Everyone immediately got up from their seats. Henry, on the other hand, was ecstatic. He rushed over enthusiastically and greeted the woman, his smile warm.

"What a pleasant surprise, Ms. Scott."
