I Cradled My Baby at My Lover's Grave—Then His Grieving Mother Found Us — Part 2

Previously: Cradling her newborn baby at her late lover's grave, Hannah expected to grieve in silence. But when his wealthy mother confronted her, a shocking secret changed everything forever.

The Storm Inside the Mansion

Overwhelmed by emotion, Vivian insisted on bringing Hannah and baby Leo back to the family’s sprawling estate. She couldn't bear the thought of her grandson being out in the freezing cold. But the moment they stepped into the grand, marble-floored foyer, the warmth of the house vanished. Beatrice, Thomas’s wealthy fiancée, stood at the top of the stairs, her eyes narrowing with instant hostility.

"What is this trash doing in our house, Vivian?"

Beatrice sneered, marching down the steps. When Vivian explained that the child was Thomas's son, Beatrice let out a harsh, mocking laugh.

"You actually believe this ridiculous story? She is a gold-digging scammer who targeted Thomas! She probably got pregnant by someone else and is trying to steal his inheritance."

Beatrice stepped right into Hannah's face, her expression twisted with venom. She threatened to call the police and have Hannah arrested for trespassing and harassment. Turning to Vivian, Beatrice pulled out a legal folder.

"I have the signed power of attorney, and according to Thomas's previous will, the entire estate belongs to me. If you let this beggar and her bastard child stay, I will tie up the family trust in litigation for years and leave you with absolutely nothing."

Hannah felt her hope crumbling. She looked at Vivian, whose hands were shaking. The older woman was torn between the memory of her son, the innocent baby in front of her, and the massive financial ruin Beatrice was threatening. It seemed like the wealthy fiancée held all the cards, and Hannah prepared herself to be thrown back out into the rain. The tension in the room was suffocating as Vivian stared at the baby, then at Beatrice, forced to make a choice that would define the family's future forever.
