Scarlett, a woman trapped in a loveless marriage, discovers she's pregnant with her estranged husband's child. Her decision to finally divorce him, long-awaited by both, takes an unexpected turn when a sudden family emergency forces her back into the very life she desperately tries to escape. Will she find the strength to forge a new path, or will the tangled web of family secrets and a demanding husband pull her back into the abyss?

The sterile scent of the maternity ward clung to Scarlett like a shroud, making the news she’d just received feel even more unreal. A baby. His baby. The irony was a bitter taste in her mouth, mingling with the persistent nausea that had been her unwelcome companion for weeks.

Around her, happy couples cooed over ultrasound images, their joy a stark contrast to the hollow ache in her chest. She had a luxury house, a billionaire husband – everything on paper. Yet, they had what she craved: a man who cared.

Her phone buzzed, Sebastian’s name flashing on the screen. He was calling about the divorce papers, the ones she held in her purse, alongside the pregnancy results. \"Scar, where the hell are you?!\" His voice, already impatient, was a cold splash of reality. He didn’t want her, and certainly wouldn’t want this. \"I…I don’t feel too well today--\" she managed, gripping her purse. The papers felt heavy, symbols of both an ending and an impossible new beginning.
