Chapter 460
It was supposed to be a childish outburst, but it hit Gabby and Lucius like a lightning bolt. They looked down at little Anna, and
for along moment, neither of them could find the words.
"Darling, what''s wrong?" the sultry woman cooed, her fingers tracing patterns across Lucius’ chest as she breathed into his ear.
"Didn''t you promise to love me hard? What are you waiting for? Come on!"
It was then that Lucius snapped out of his daze. He nced at the sexy woman beside him, unable to bear the sight of Gabby''s
in face any longer. He took the woman''s hand and headed upstairs, no longer caring to acknowledge Gabby''s presence.
With her heart heavy, Gabby clung to little Anna, watching in silence as Lucius led the morous woman up the stairs. The room
they were heading to was the marital chamber. Gabby had tenderly arranged every detail of that room. Yet today, she had to
watch as a stranger shared moments of passion with the man she loved in that very room.
Gabby''s heart shattered into pieces. She bit her lip so hard it bled, and tears streamed down her face as she cried without a
sound.
Anna snuggled close, wiping away Gabby''s tears with a gentle touch. In a quiet voice, she said, "Mommy, don''t cry. I''m not hurt,
not even a little."
The young girl didn''t understand why her mother was so distraught, thinking it was because Lucius had pushed her aside.
Holding the well-behaved child, Gabby sobbed uncontrobly. The angelic innocence in Anna''s eyes only reminded her of the sin
Gabbymitted a year ago. Gabby felt she couldn’t face Anna, ashamed of the day she had taken her away from Natalia.
“Sweet Anna, it’s Mommy who should be sorry,” Gabby said through her tears, regretting the decision she made all those years
ago. How could she have been so naive to believe Lucius’ lies, to help himmit such wrongs? Now, she was nothing more
than a discarded wife, not even worthy of being nced at, let alone to serve him.
From upstairs, raunchyughter and lewd words filled the air, mingled with the sounds of Lucius and the woman''s intimate
escapades. Gabby quickly covered Anna''s ears, shielding her from the vulgarities that could taint her innocent soul.
"Uhh...| can''t anymore...I’m about toe..."
"| have plenty of energy. | will take good care of you."
"You''re really amazing, darling. Did you also try so hard when you were with that ugly woman downstairs?"
“You also say she is an ugly woman. | lose my appetite when | see her. How would | have the mood to be with her? | need to
save my energy, lest | get drained by you, my little demon."
Lucius’ cold and heartless words floated down from above, each oneced with disdain and hatred for Gabby. She could hear
everything clearly from downstairs, each word piercing her heart like a thousand arrows.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
With a bitterugh, Gabby''s heart filled with sorrow. Once upon a time, she believed herself to be a princess in distress, waiting
for a handsome prince''s kiss to save her and to live happily ever after.
But fairy tales were lies. She was never a princess, nor did she find a gant prince to rescue her. Instead, she had saved a
demon, who had turned on her the moment she ceased to be useful.
The man who had vowed to stand by her forever on their wedding day had now chosen a woman of the night to disgrace their
marital bed. It was tant humiliation.
Gabby closed her eyes in despair. Her tears fell like a breached dam. Holding Anna, she wept violently, a picture of misery.
Listening to Gabby''s sorrowful cries, Anna once again reached out to wipe away the tears, whispering, "Mommy, don''t cry. We
can call the police to catch Daddy, okay?"
Anna''s innocent words shook Gabby to her core, and for a moment, she forgot even to cry. Yes, she was that weak, unwilling to
see Lucius suffer the slightest harm or usation, despite his cruelty.
Gabby studied Anna''s face, so simr to Magnus’, with eyes the same shade of blue as Natalia''s. Standing up, she gazed out at
the slowly setting sun and made a decision. She picked up the card from the floor, scooped up the oblivious Anna, and left the
vi without looking back.
As darkness fell, Gabby wandered the streets aimlessly with Anna in her arms. Dubai''s streets werevish and opulent, yet there
was no ce for her and little Anna.
Numbly, she continued walking, not knowing where she was going, while Anna quietly patted her shoulder, not making a sound.
Gabby had always wished Anna was truly hers and Lucius’ daughter. How wonderful would that have been? But it seemed fate
was cruel, for she had been unable to conceive a child with Lucius since their marriage.
Their lovemaking was always rushed,
and he never held her afterward. His

Only now did Gabby understand that

She realized she had only inconvenienced him by being with him for over a year. And now, she was discarded, while the man
she had given her life to, who had promised to cherish her, now entertained another in their bed.
