My Husband Tried to Destroy Me, Until My Estranged Billionaire Father Stepped In
Previously: When Sarah's abusive husband turned his rage on her and their unborn child, she thought all hope was lost. But a sudden knock on the door changed her life forever.
A Cruel Ultimatum
Charles did not hesitate. His bodyguards quickly surrounded Thomas, disarming him before he could utter a word of protest. Victoria’s smug demeanor shattered instantly; her wine glass slipped from her hand, shattering on the polished hardwood floor. Charles rushed to Sarah’s side, his eyes softening with deep regret as he gathered his wounded daughter into his arms.
"I’m here, sweetheart," Charles whispered, his voice cracking with emotion. "I should have never let you marry this monster. I’ve got you now."
Within minutes, Sarah was rushed to a private hospital owned by her father's conglomerate. Doctors and specialists worked through the night. Miraculously, the physical wounds were superficial, and the baby’s heartbeat remained strong and steady. For the first time in years, Sarah felt a glimmer of hope as she rested in her private suite. But that peace was short-lived.
Three days later, while Charles was away handling an urgent board meeting, the door to Sarah's hospital room swung open. Thomas walked in, flanked not by bodyguards, but by three high-priced corporate lawyers. The fear that Sarah had tried so hard to bury rushed back instantly.
"Did you really think your father could just take you away from me?" Thomas sneered, stepping closer to her bedside. "You belong to me, Sarah. And so does that baby."
One of the lawyers stepped forward, placing a thick legal document on Sarah’s lap. Thomas pointed to the papers with a wicked grin.
"If you divorce me, the prenuptial agreement you signed dictates that you forfeit all custody rights," Thomas said coldly. "But I’m a reasonable man. Sign over your father's multi-million-dollar trust fund to my company, and I will let you keep the child. If you don't, I will take your baby the second it is born, and you will never see them again."
Sarah stared at the pen in her trembling hand. She was trapped in a nightmare once more, forced to choose between her father's legacy and her own child.
