Like a man gone mad, he tried everything to track me down. He called everyone I knew, but no one had seen me. He sent his men across the city, but it was useless.
I had liquidated all my assets.
I had left the country.
I had walked away from the city, and from Zayn, for good.
Still unwilling to accept it, he ordered his people to investigate my recent activities. That was when he learned I had gone to
the hospital for another round of IVF. He rushed there at once, questioning my doctor,
“Why did my wife do IVF?”
The doctor looked surprised and replied, “Mr. Levine, you didn’t know? Ms Rivers loves you very much and has always wanted to give you a child. The latest round of IVF–she had insisted on it herself. She had planned to tell you on the day you
came back, but…”
The doctor did not finish, but Zayn already knew. He remembered that day he came back from overseas, how my eyes had been full of hope–only for all of it to shatter the moment Whitney appeared
The realization hit him like a knife to the heart, and regret tore him apart. Finally, he understood why I had left and why my disappointment ran so deep.

I had been willing to give everything for him.
Him? He betrayed me. He chose another woman.
The weight of it crushed him. In agony, he returned home, desperate to find any clue I had left behind. However, as he stepped through the door, he heard Whitney’s voice.
“That bitch finally left! She really thought being called Mrs. Levine made her a queen? Now, the title of Mrs. Levine and Zayn himself are mine.”
Zayn was stunned by her words. He had never known Whitney to be that kind of woman.
