Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1758

Maisie crouched on the ground, wailing. Her daughter, who hadn't yet had a chance to see the world, was buried there.

Slowly, she walked to the outer edge of the courtyard and sat in front of a stone tablet. Repeatedly, she stroked the words engraved on it, tears streaming down her face.

Since the day Daniel suggested she abort the child, she had planned to escape.

Back then.

They resided on the city's east side, so she fled to the west, renting a shabby house in the suburban area. The conditions were poor—she cooked in the corridor and sought help from an old classmate to find a job.

Fearing Daniel's pursuit, she avoided using her ID and worked as a daily laborer in a restaurant kitchen, performing the dirtiest and most exhausting tasks.

Kind neighbors, witnessing her pregnancy amid malnourishment, gave her eggs, which she reluctantly consumed, eating only one every two days.

Despite the harsh conditions, she found contentment. Enduring anything to settle down and bring her child into the world was her sole focus.

Yet, Daniel sought to ruthlessly destroy even this glimmer of hope.

Maisie clenched her fists, trembling. The pain in her heart transformed into intense hatred, growing like vines in the depths of her being.

When Maisie returned to the hotel, Daniel was furious, blaming his subordinates for not taking good care of her.

The hotel manager, security personnel, and his men stood in a row, heads lowered, afraid to lift them.

When Maisie attempted to leave, no one dared to stop her. The bodyguards refrained from following too closely, aware of her aversion to being trailed.

Daniel couldn't find anyone who knew where Maisie had gone too. It made him instantly anxious.
