She Was the Treasure All Along novel Chapter 862

Lucian didn't flinch. He stood perfectly still, letting her exhaust her frantic energy.

When she finally went limp, gasping for air, he calmly reached up and peeled her hands off his lapels.

"I would never forget the woman I love. But you actually dared to try and erase my memories of her, to replace the only person who matters to me," Lucian said, leaning in close. His eyes were devoid of anything but pure, unadulterated lethal intent. "The only reason you're still breathing is because I had to play the long game."

In that moment, he truly wanted to end her. There was no hesitation in his eyes, only a terrifying, deep-seated hatred.

Sigrid's face went from pale to a sickly, mottled purple, before settling into an ashen gray. Slowly, she looked down at her stomach.

There was a life growing inside her. She had believed it was Lucian's—a symbol of their love, her ultimate leverage over the most powerful man she knew.

But it was all a trap.

"No!!!" she shrieked again, the sound even more agonizing and desperate than before.

She spun around and threw herself at Nathan, clawing at his clothes like a wild animal. "It was you! You ruined me! You destroyed my life! I'm going to kill you!"

Nathan didn't fight back. He let her scratch and hit him until she collapsed. Only then did he gently grasp her wrists and pull her away.

"Ms. Sigrid," he said, his voice holding a twisted sliver of tenderness, "this baby is mine, and I will take full responsibility. Lucian owes you absolutely nothing."

The polished, untouchable princess of Stellar Trust was completely unraveled, her expensive makeup streaked with tears and snot.

What she didn't realize was that the global broadcast cameras were pointed directly at her. Hundreds of millions of viewers across the globe were watching this unfold live on major news networks and social media platforms.
