Loved Hard, Hated Harder novel

---- That was when it hit him. It was not that they did not notice his sufferings. They simply did not care. Julian said nothing more. He gathered the documents and submitted a request to be sent abroad for work- all without telling anyone. If no one in this house cared about him, then he no longer needed to be here either. Soon enough, with Nathan's relentless efforts, Bianca found herself pregnant. The entire family erupted in joy. They even set off fireworks in celebration.

Julian sat silently at the breakfast table, eating his oats calmly. He looked up at Bianca and asked, "Is that child really mine?" She froze, then quickly grew indignant. "What kind of a question is that, darling? Are you seriously doubting me?" To throw Julian off, Bianca had made sure to sleep with him a few times over the past weeks. He had resisted, disgusted at the thought of touching her. But one night, he got intoxicated.

Even drunk, he remembered clearly that he had not touched her at all. Yet the next morning, Bianca clung to Julian coyly, praising him for how intense he had ---- been the night before. "Darling , 1 know I haven't spent enough time with you lately. But come on, you know where I've been every night! I wasn't sneaking off with some pretty boy. I was punished in the memorial hall for you!" Her voice quivered as she wrapped her arms around Julian.

"T stood up to my parents for you, and now you're accusing me of such a thing. Anyone else can doubt me, but not you, darling. I love you, and only you." Julian remained unmoved, quietly eating his oats. Bianca sighed softly. "I wasn't supposed to tell you this, but you're doubtful of me. I'll be honest. Dad arranged someone new for Nathan. She's Bethany's best friend. They just want a child between them. Now that she's here, I'm off the hook. "Keep it between us, okay?

Now that I'm pregnant, we just need to focus on our baby. Jules, promise me that you'll love this child with your whole heart and protect them with your life!"
