My Husband Abused Me While Pregnant, But My Powerful Father Stepped In
Previously: Grace tolerated her husband and mother-in-law's cruelty for the sake of her marriage, but when her powerful billionaire father discovered the abuse, he stepped in to exact a legendary reckoning.
Within hours of Grace’s departure, the Harrison family’s world began to unravel. William was not just a protective father; he was a billionaire tycoon with the power to crush empires. By the next morning, the bank that held the Harrison family’s primary business loans suddenly called in their debts. Stock prices for their family enterprise plummeted as major investors withdrew, citing sudden ethical concerns.
Desperate Measures
Daniel and Elizabeth were in a panic. They quickly realized that Grace was not the penniless orphan they had assumed she was. She was the sole heiress to the Vance conglomerate. Desperation turned into venomous rage. Instead of apologizing, Daniel decided to fight dirty.
That afternoon, Daniel and Elizabeth arrived at William’s private estate, accompanied by a team of high-priced, ruthless lawyers. They demanded to see Grace, who was resting in the library.
"You can't just hide her away!"
Daniel shouted as he was escorted into the study.
"She is my wife, and she is carrying my child. I have legal rights!"
Elizabeth stepped forward, her face twisted in a smug grin. She tossed a thick folder onto the mahogany desk.
"We’ve filed for emergency custody,"
Elizabeth declared coldly.
"And we have medical reports suggesting Grace is mentally unstable. If you don't call off your financial dogs, we will take that baby the moment it is born, and you will never see it again."
Grace felt a wave of icy terror wash over her. She looked at her father, her eyes wide with fear. The thought of losing her child to these monsters was too much to bear. But William remained entirely unfazed. He sat behind his desk, pouring a cup of tea with steady hands.
"Is that your final play?"
William asked quietly, his eyes turning to Daniel.
"It is,"
Daniel sneered, believing he had the upper hand.
"Sign the financial release, or we ruin her reputation and take the child."
At that moment, the door opened, and William’s chief of security walked in, holding a small black flash drive.
”Instead of apologizing, Daniel decided to fight dirty.
