He’d given her gifts, taken her on trips, and they’d been intimate in various locations, even in our mansion, in my study.
The Sterling family knew about her and accepted Milly.
She’d thought it was Liam’s favoritism; once I was gone, she’d be Mrs. Sterling.

Chloe trembled.“I didn’t kidnap her! I swear! Liam, believe me…”
But Liam didn’t believe her.
He gestured to his bodyguards. They dragged Chloe, screaming, to a waiting car. Liam didn’t watch, waving a dismissive hand. “Take her to the hospital Don’t let her keep the baby.”
