Chapter 5

I stared at Amelia, my gaze cold as ice.

"Amelia, aren't you afraid that if the baby gets hurt today, Rowan will tear your heart out and feed it to the dogs?"

Amelia just sneered mockingly.

"Baby? That's just some bastard you had with another man! No wait, I should say—it's Hunter's kid."

Hunter actually had the nerve to nod along.

"That's right—I never expected you to secretly have my baby."

"If you don't want Rowan to find out and kill you, come with me now!"

He didn't look like he was acting. He actually believed this child was his.

I glanced at him, then looked at Amelia who was laughing arrogantly, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Hunter, looks like you still don't know—three years ago, the person you fucked until she nearly passed out was Amelia. Did you really think it was me this whole time?"

On my eighteenth birthday, my father James threw me a small birthday party.

Hunter came that day too.

From the moment he saw me, he had twisted intentions.

Amelia made a deal with Hunter that day, using me as the bargaining chip.

She wanted to trade my virginity for a bracelet.

The bracelet wasn't even expensive—for her, it was just the cost of ordering a bottle at a nightclub.

But for her, humiliating me was life's greatest pleasure.

At my birthday party, Amelia drugged my drink with an aphrodisiac.

Then she personally led Hunter, who had willingly taken the same drug, into my room.

But what she never expected was that I'd already swapped that drugged drink with hers.

When she pushed Hunter into my room, the drug kicked in for her. And with Hunter already out of his mind, things happened.

The two of them went at it like animals in heat in my room, even breaking my bed frame.

But I never expected that to this day, Hunter still didn't know the person he'd slept with that night was Amelia.

"Shut up!"

Her most disgusting secret exposed, Amelia's face went white instantly.

"Hunter, don't listen to her lies! She just stole my position and doesn't want to give up being Rowan's mate!"

Hunter was an idiot too—he actually believed her bullshit.

"Chloe, just come with me quietly. If Rowan finds out this child isn't his, you're dead!"

He stepped forward to grab the baby.

"Let me see my son—"

"Back off!"

I shouted, pulling the maid back two steps to create distance.

"Who said this child isn't Rowan's?"

Hearing this, Amelia shook her head regretfully.

"I didn't expect you to still be so stubborn at this point."

"But then again, you probably don't know."

She wore a knowing expression.

"Rowan has erectile dysfunction. He can never have children."

"I don't know what tricks you used to fool everyone, but you can't fool me."

"Why else do you think I had you marry Rowan in my place?"

Amelia sneered coldly.

"You might fool everyone for now, but can you fool them forever?"

She leaned close to my ear and whispered:

"Who the real lover is doesn't matter. I just need to make Rowan suspect you, hate you. What Rowan hates most is betrayal!"

As soon as she finished speaking, footsteps came from the distance, along with flashlight beams sweeping toward us.

Amelia paused, then smiled.

"My dear sister, Rowan is here. What do you think—when he sees you with Hunter, will he believe me or you?"

Before I could answer, she shoved Hunter toward me and screamed:

"Rowan! Chloe is over here!"

The people in the distance heard her shout and immediately ran this way.

The man in front wore a black trench coat. His face was handsome as a sculpture, his eyes cold as ice.

It was my mate, Rowan.
