Chapter 3 - The Night She DisappearedSeven months earlier, Elena had stood outside Adrian's office with a small envelope pressed against her chest.
Inside was the ultrasound photograph.
The first image of the child neither of them knew how to protect yet.
She had been smiling.
She had been terrified.
But she had been happy.
Adrian had promised her everything would be different.
He had only asked for two days.
Two days to end his engagement with Victoria.
Two days to face his family.
Two days to tell the world that he had chosen Elena.
But Elena never got those two days.
While Adrian was away in Milan, Victoria found her.
“You really think a billionaire will throw away his entire future for a housekeeper?”
Elena had said nothing.
Victoria smiled.
“You're not his future.”
Then came the threats.
The humiliation.
The lies.
Victoria told her Adrian was ashamed of the pregnancy.
She told Elena that Adrian had already chosen her.
She even showed Elena forged messages that appeared to come from Adrian.
By midnight, Elena believed she had become the greatest mistake of his life.
So she disappeared.

Not because she stopped loving him.
Because she believed loving him would destroy him.
