When Ethan married Charlotte, everyone believed his first love, Vanessa, had finally accepted that their relationship was over. She even congratulated them on their wedding and acted like she genuinely wanted them to be happy.

Charlotte never saw her as a threat.

After three heartbreaking years of trying, Charlotte finally became pregnant. It was the happiest moment of their lives. They decided to keep the news private until the second trimester, telling only a few close relatives and friends.

Somehow, Vanessa found out.

A few weeks later, she unexpectedly appeared at a family gathering with flowers, gifts, and the sweetest apology Charlotte had ever heard.

“I know I hurt both of you years ago,” Vanessa said with tears in her eyes. “I just want us to move on.”

Even Ethan believed she had changed.

Before leaving, Vanessa handed Charlotte a homemade herbal drink.

“My grandmother always made this for pregnant women,” she smiled. “It’s completely natural.”

Charlotte thanked her and drank it that evening.

Only hours later, unbearable pain tore through her stomach.

Ethan rushed her to the hospital, but despite the doctors’ efforts…

Their baby couldn’t be saved.

Charlotte spent weeks blaming herself.

Until one afternoon, she accidentally discovered something that made her entire body go numb.

The drink Vanessa had given her wasn’t what she claimed it was.

And the person who helped Vanessa hide the truth was someone Charlotte trusted more than anyone else…
