It’s All In The Past Let by Gone be By GoneChapter 1
On my wedding day, my fiancé received a call from his first love, Tracy Edward, while on the way to pick me up. He turned the wedding convoy around, picked her up, brought her to the venue and replaced me as his bride.
When I heard the news, my world shattered. I begged my parents to take me to the wedding event to demand an explanation.
On the way, tragedy struck. We were in a car accident. Though I was saved, both of my parents died on the spot because my mother shielded me in her arms.
However, the tragedy did not end there. Losing my parents had left me with severe PTSD. For two years, I couldn’t function and during that time, my ex-fiancé’s older brother, Blake Maxwell, never left my side. He took care of me, protected me and helped me through my darkest moments.
On the day I finally recovered, Blake set off fireworks that lit up the entire city. He knelt before me with a ring in hand and asked me to marry him. Two years of companionship had melted my broken heart. Tears streaming down my face, as I said yes.
Three years into our marriage, I finally became pregnant. Blake was overjoyed. He announced the news to everyone he knew, practically shouting it to the world.
That night, however, I overheard his conversation with his secretary which shattered my world all over again.
“Wasn’t she supposed to be on birth control?” Blake's cold voice demanded. “How did she end up pregnant? This child cannot stay. I promised Tracy that there will never be other women except her that can carry my child."
The trembling voice of his secretary responded, “Yet, Sir, if your wife finds out about, this won’t end well. Besides if the car accident from five years ago comes to light … if she learns it was orchestrated by us …”
Blake chuckled coldly and said, "I'll do anything for Tracy … anything! I've even married Julie, haven't I done enough?"

"Mr. Maxwell, Sir. This is the child that Mrs. Maxwell has longed for over the past three years. Losing it might destroy and kill her!” the secretary pleaded.
He continued, "You even arranged a car accident in order to let Miss Edward marry your brother without any hitch back then. Mrs. Maxwell even almost lost her life in that accident."
"Haven't you done too much?" he asked. "Now, are you saying you want to murder your own child?"
