Chapter 2: The Secret the Mansion Was Built On
The pregnant woman regained consciousness at the hospital.
She found the man sitting quietly beside her bed.
His suit jacket was folded neatly over a chair.
He hadn't left her side.

"I should have come home sooner."
Tears filled her eyes.

Inside was a wedding ring.
"I never stopped."
She broke into tears.
He gently took her hand.
"There is something you deserve to know."

The businesses...
Every family asset...
