Bright sighed, exhaling the white smoke, his grim expressions said more than his words. It was a fact that his feelings were hurt, he must be thinking that I was a terrible person.
However, it was never my intention to break anyone’s heart, I was merely looking for a remedy for the lacerations deep in my soul.
Thankfully, Bright was a sensible man, he didn’t behave aggressively. Instead, he listened to my perspective and nodded, his query was more than a request.
“Can I see Jane, Laura?”
“Oh, yeah. Why not?” Cracking my knuckles, I soothed my twitching fingers and took him to
y little girl’s room. Jane was peacefully sleeping in her bed.
Without making any noise, he sat beside her, and caressed her head gently.
“Jane Bright, an ice hockey player!”
The medals and certificates of my daughter puffed his chest with pride, Bright observed all the pictures in her room and spoke.
“Only my blood can be an overachiever at such a young age. How can I miss that?”
As Jane changed her sleeping posture, we both flinched, fearful of disturbing her slumber. Bright immediately grabbed my hand, and walked out of her room. I felt my heart sinking to hear his reaction to this disclosure.
Following him like a lost puppy, I was wildly predicting his next question when he spoke
out of the blue.
“I think Jane should have a brother to play with, Laura.”
“What?” My eyebrows shot up, forming a high arch of astonishment, I found it hard to understand the meaning of Bright’s words.
“What do you mean to say, Bright?” Staring at him wide–eyed, I demanded an explanation.

A lovely smile stretching Bright’s lips reached his eyes, sparkling them like stars as he finally softened up.
“I hadn’t thought about marriage before, but now I would like to be an official part of yours and Jane’s life, Laura.”
My heart rate hitched, swaying my soul with the honesty of his tone, this was the best outcome I could ever have. But still, I composed myself and spoke cautiously.

My nonstop speech was cut short by Bright’s warm touch, he placed his hands in my lovingly.
“You are the best thing that ever happened to me in my whole life, Laura.

His solemn words of praise fluttered my heart, I had never imagined that I would meet such a nice man in my life. Bright turned all my fears into trust effortlessly, making me feel safe. He won my heart with his sweet promises of the future.
“As you agreed to date me, I was planning to develop a good relationship with Jane for extra
credits.
And all thanks to my luck, she is my blood, a part of my soul. I have won a jackpot, Laura.
So please, let me be the father to my only daughter.”
Bright’s acceptance showed me a ray of hope in the impenetrable darkness, changing my views about the current quandary. Henry informed me that it was Leo, who planted a mole in his company for this task, throwing me into the depths of shame.

Chapter 60
But his evil scheme from prison couldn’t harm me!
I called the owner of that TV channel and changed the timing of my program, going to the studio as a first thing in the morning. The familiar faces of the media representatives, their piercing gazes, and cruel allegations didn’t waver my determination. I calmly joined the
staff in the studio.
A female host introduced me formally to the audience.
Please welcome Miss Laura from LB cooperation. The news of her illicit affair and a child out of wedlock is a hot topic across the media.
She has joined us today to shed light on this issue.”
This brief intro was just a ground set for me as the owner had promised not to ask any question from me. I could say whatever I wanted to say in my defense. So, I spoke humbly.
“Thank you so much for allowing me to use your platform. It wasn’t easy for me to come out and discuss my painful past in front of the public.”
Remembering the moments of despair, I blinked away tears pooling in my eyes and said,
“Laura Green wasn’t a successful businesswoman from the start. She was just a housewife whose dreams weren’t different from a common married woman: A loving husband, warm
home, and kids.
I didn’t ask for much. I just wished to be the only woman in my husband’s life.”
The scenes of Melody walking out of Leo’s room in a bikini cut through my heart as I
sniffled.
“But unfortunately, all my dreams were crushed by my ex–husband’s betrayal.
Leo was a perfidious partner, he and his girlfriend didn’t miss any chance, and tortured me
to death.
You all must have heard how Melody tormented me and then blackmailed Doctor Max.”
