Love Beyond the Mask novel Chapter 1075

“I can't accept this! Why should I?” Whitney cried out, feeling like a wounded animal, her defenses shattered. Tears welled up in her eyes. "Did anyone bother to tell me what was going on? No!

You say Florence's child is mine.

You say I was pregnant, but did I know then?

When my so-called genes made it into the world, I had no clue!

I don't even know how it ended up in Florence's belly!

Or maybe, you're just lying to me again now?!

Ludwik, for an entire year, you had so many chances to tell me, to come clean, but you played me for a fool the whole time. I hate you!

There's no way I can accept a child born from Florence."

She shook her head wildly, losing grip on reality, clutching her head. "What does this have to do with me?! Why should I believe you?"

Tears streamed down her beautiful face as Whitney felt her heart breaking and a sharp pain pounding in her head. She was being forced to accept a harsh truth, an unfamiliar child!

“Sweetheart, it's all my fault, please don’t cry.” Ludwik was filled with deep regret as he watched her agony unfold. He cupped her cold, damp chin in his large hands, his voice hoarse. “Let me tell you everything, starting from when you got pregnant, okay?

I made a mistake by hiding it from the start, and it just snowballed from there. My selfishness took over.

Do you remember?

My mom was about to undergo a spinal transplant. I took Florence to Philadelphia, and you were in a car accident set up by Thea and then kidnapped. I rushed back to save you that night.

You were delirious, and we were in the wine cellar... it happened.

Just that one time… Later, when your dad had an accident, you fainted in the hospital and they found out you were pregnant.

I was both thrilled and worried. To keep you and our child, I hid it all without a trace.

The rest of the story—

You know it.

Florence somehow found out you were pregnant. She blackmailed Ryan to trick you and stole your embryo during a hospital visit, implanting it in her own body!”

Whitney’s eyes widened in disbelief, as if struck by lightning, her mind buzzing with the shock.

Even with her medical knowledge, she had never heard of such a forbidden procedure as ‘embryo transplantation.’

Could it really be that Ryan messed with her?

No, it was Florence! That wicked woman!

Oh my God.

She had really been pregnant, but Ludwik never said a word. She had no idea!

Whitney's eyes filled with pain as she clutched her aching head, her voice shattered, “So I was pregnant without knowing, and you kept it from me, turning me into a fool, almost just a tool for breeding. Ludwik, you're ruthless...

You knew I would have never wanted your child if I knew back then. I couldn't stand you at that time.”

“That’s why I hid it and gave Florence the chance to swap everything.” Ludwik’s handsome face was marked with a cold bitterness, a harsh smile crossing his lips. “I trapped myself!

I didn’t know Florence had meddled, that our child was gone!

I thought you had miscarried on purpose because of Bryce.

I was furious back then.”

Whitney raised her tear-filled eyes, closing them in pain. Everything now clicked into place; she remembered thinking it was just a stomach issue when she went to a hospital for a gastric check-up, which was supposed to be a local anesthetic but turned into general anesthesia.
