Yvonne could tell he meant it.

Leon, the Romeros‘ chosen leader always got what he wanted. The only reason he had bothered to discuss things with her was because she hadn’t done anything wrong in the marriage.

She didn’t have the power to say no.

Yvonne sat alone in the study all night. When morning came, she asked him one last question -did they really have to get divorced?

Leon said yes.

So Yvonne agreed, but asked him not to announce it right away. She needed time to prepare, and she demanded a large share of assets.

Her calm attitude reassured Leon, so he gave her the time she wanted.

The day before Leon died, Yvonne had just received her pregnancy report from the hospital. It was a healthy baby boy.

She didn’t tell Leon.

Leon was obsessive and unpredictable. Who knew if, for the sake of his so–called true love, he might force her to end the pregnancy?

After all, having a child made it harder to sever ties. If he wanted one, Fiona could always give him a baby later.

Yvonne wasn’t going to take that risk.

She was the one who had deliberately leaked his schedule to Fiona.

Funny how he thought he had found love, never realizing that the woman he trusted came straight from hell, her heart burning with revenge.

Maybe love really did blind even the smartest people.

The first person in the Romeros to notice something off about Fiona was Yvonne.

And she was the first to notice that Leon’s feelings were wavering–even before he did.

From the first moment she saw him distracted, even when there were no signs yet, she acted immediately. She poked holes in the condoms and decided she needed to have a child.

The Lain family was full of wolves and tigers. Even if she left with a fortune after the divorce, there was no guarantee she could keep it.

But the Romeros‘ status was untouchable. The title of Mrs. Romero was worth far more than being a divorced daughter of the Lains.

She wasn’t about to give up the position she had fought so hard to win.

Besides, once she gave birth to the Romeros‘ first grandson, the greedy, pragmatic Lain family would support her and her son completely, becoming their strongest backing.

Staying married offered her far more advantages than getting divorced.

There was no other way. Leon was worth more to her dead than alive.

It was ironic–Leon had always guarded himself against her, but perhaps not as much as he should have against Fiona.

When one loved someone, how could they not notice? No matter how hard one tried to hide it, the feelings still showed in their eyes and smile.

Leon must have sensed it too.

But he overestimated a woman’s love. Compared to solid benefits, his worth was nothing.

She did love him–but she loved power and wealth more.

She hadn’t wanted to return to the Lain family and relive the struggle it took to rise to where

she was.

Leon probably never understood, even in his final moments, that the wife who fixed his tie, made him breakfast, and gently reminded him to come home early was the one who sent him to his death.

She and Fiona weren’t friends, but they had formed a short–lived alliance.

Everything afterward went exactly as she had planned.
