Chapter 5
Aaron took some people and went to Antonio’s home at midnight.
Antonio thought it was a food delivery, but he was punched right after opening the door.
“What are you doing?”
As a former border guard, Antonio had a great physique.
However, these people were professional fighters, so Antonio fell to the ground.
In silence, the fighters punched Antonio again.
He felt a little dizzy. With a fierce look, he was about to fight back when he was kicked on the back and knelt.
The fighters didn’t intend to let Krista go.
One of them banged her head against a corner of the table, and her pretty face got injured right away.
When she cried out of pain, someone pulled her hair.
Finally, when Antonio and Krista were full of bruises and unable to stand up, Aaron and the fighters left.
Antonio wanted to find out who they were, so he went to check the footage.
However, all surveillance cameras around were broken.
The possibility curdled Antonio’s blood.

It could only be Lance, the mysterious, influential person.
Thus, Antonio planned to visit Lance the next morning and see if it was
him.
When I revived in the hospital, I saw Lance beside me.
He stayed up all night, so he looked tired.
“Lance…”
My voice was hoarse, so he brought me a glass of water before calling a doctor in.
Seeing the doctor, I asked with worry, “Doctor, where is my baby?”
The doctor turned to Lance, who held my hand. “Grace, listen…”
I understood. My tears fell on Lance’s hand.
He couldn’t bear to see me cry, and his heart ached for me.
He hugged me and said in a soft voice, “Grace, we’ll have another baby.
“And I’ll seek revenge for the deceased baby.
“I’ll make them suffer.”
I had figured that I’d lost the baby, but I was still helpless with tears.
Trembling, I sobbed, “He said the baby’s dad was…a security guard.
“He called our baby…bastard.
“He even…ripped my clothes…”
I couldn’t believe that had happened to me.

Like a blade, it was killing me.
And I felt like a vine wrapping around my neck and choking my words.
“Grace, you’re safe now.
“I’ll take care of it.”
Right then, the screen of Lance’s work phone lit up, so I knew he had
work to do.
“You can go…

Lance turned off the screen and said gently, “It’s nothing.
Antonio went to report to me, but he had been fired and couldn’t get into the building.”
Hearing Antonio’s name, I gnashed my teeth.
I lost my child because of him!
We grew up together. How could he do that to me?
Our parents wanted us to get married, but before the wedding, he joined the army.
It was understandable. After all, he was a man who had grown up in an environment full of soldiers.
Therefore, I took care of his parents for him even though he had been out of contact since.
I had been looking forward to him coming back and marrying me.
But 2 years ago, Lance came to me with photos of him and the military surgeon Krista.

They looked at the stars and fulfilled missions together.
In some of the photos, they were even in bed.
It turned out that he joined the army for his unattainable love, who had made a mistake and been transferred to the border.
To protect her from being picked on, he even pulled some strings.
When I got the news, I felt like the ground was falling out beneath me.
Lance and I used to go to the same school. He had unrequited love for me.
I didn’t know that until I found his diary at his place.
Then, we got together. However, we had to keep it simple and confidential because of his job.
Thus, we didn’t make our relationship public even when I was pregnant.
