Isabella sat in the doctor's office, stunned. She had just been informed that she was pregnant. But that was impossible. She was only nineteen, and she had never had any intimate contact with any man.

The doctor handed her a test sheet as he spoke. "It has been four months," he said. "You are not in good health, and I cannot perform an abortion operation. You can only choose to give birth to this kid."

Isabella's mind raced as she left the doctor's office. How could this be happening? She hadn't gone out for four months ago. Her father would know that.

After her mother's death, she was so sheltered that most people don't even know what she looked like. Her father watched her every move and monitored her movement and everything she did.

But what if someone had somehow managed to do this to her without her knowledge? She didn't know what to think. She could not understand the situation.

When Isabella returned home, her father was waiting for her. Her stepmother had noticed that she had not been seeing her period and decided to tell her father.

Her dad had checked the monitor to see if she had gone out four months ago, but it showed that she had stayed at home. However, the neighbors were not convinced.

"Big belly, making excuses about not having an affair with others," they whispered. "She is fat and ugly, and her family rank at the moment is not very good. She has been lucky enough to engage with Alpha Moon's son. Now she is pregnant out of wedlock, and the Alpha is going to break off the marriage."

Isabella's heart sank as she heard their cruel words. She had been engaged to Caleb, but she knew that he had never truly loved her. He had only wanted to secure an alliance between their packs. Their pack was small but had a lot of economic resources, though they aren't doing well at the moment, the alliance would do them good. He would surely want to break off the engagement now that she was pregnant.

When Isabella was eight months pregnant, Caleb came to her house.

Isabelle's father approached him carefully. "Do you want to annul the engagement?" he asked. Her father was scared because he didn't want it to end. He had so much to benefit from this marriage.

Caleb shook his head. "No, my grandfather doesn't agree," he said. "I guess whatever promise my grandfather made to your grandmother was just too big to break" he ran his hand through his hair.

"I am disgusted by her pig face," Caleb said bitterly. "Now she is pregnant. Why should I accept the kid?"

Isabella's father assured him, "Don't worry, after she gives birth, I will immediately send the child away."

Isabella who sat there while she watched her father discuss as if she wasn't there, finally spoke up. "No," she said. "These months, I've come to accept the reality. Every day I can feel the child's heartbeat more clearly. The child is innocent. You can't throw the child away. I would like to break off the engagement."

She was tired of all the insults and pain. She just wanted to be free. But just as she spoke those words, she suddenly felt a burst of pain and convulsions in her abdomen. Isabella was in labor.

Years later, Isabella returned from a foreign country with a little girl. The little girl tugged on her sleeve as they got off the plane. "Mommy, wake up, the plane is taxiing~," she said.

Isabella smiled and looked down at her daughter. Despite all her challenges, she was grateful for the precious gift of motherhood.

"Mommy, are we going back to our country to find Daddy this time?"

Isabella stretched lazily, sat up leisurely from the comfortable business class seat, and said indifferently, "You don't have a father."

Her daughter sighed like a little adult, "I'm not a three-year-old kid anymore, I won't believe such nonsense. Without a father, I couldn't have just popped out of a crack in a rock, right?"

"Isabella chuckled, stretching out her hand to ruffle the child's hair. "Indeed, I forget that you are a little adult. But trust me you don't have a father." She tied up her long brown hair into a messy bun and with her fair skin, neat nose, rosy lips, and graceful figure, she became a beautiful sight on the plane.

Her daughter continued to grumble discontentedly, "If it's not to find Daddy, is it to find my brother?"

At the mention of her son, a glint of coldness flashed in through Isabella's drooping almond eyes. Back then, she had given birth to a pair of twins. Ignoring her wishes, Isabella's father forcibly took her children away. Handed it to a nurse to give away for adoption.

She had crawled down from the delivery bed and exhausted all her strength to save only her daughter. She begged the nurse to help her. She didn't want to lose her children. Not after nine months of feeling them within her she couldn't.

The nurse heeded her pleadings but only her daughter was saved. Later, she was hanging by a thread, almost dying. If it wasn't for her aunt rushing back in time and taking her abroad for treatment, she might have been long gone from this world.

After five years, her body finally recovered, and the obesity caused by mistakenly injecting growth hormones since childhood was finally cured. She did workouts, stayed on a healthy diet, and was able to maintain the figure she has today.

The reason for returning to her country this time was that the Alpha family had finally agreed to divorce, and she needed to handle the matter. However, continuing the search for her child was the most important thing.

Half an hour later, the plane came to a halt. Isabella let her daughter sit on the suitcase and pushed it forward. As soon as she turned on her phone, she received a call.

A flippant but lively voice on the other end said, "Roseanne. You need to be careful."

Isabella rolled her eyes and spoke casually, "What's going on now?"

"The Lycan Prince is currently collecting your personal information worldwide. He won't stop until he finds you." The tone was a bit gleeful, too gleeful for someone who should be looking for ways to protect Isabella.

"...Oh," Isabella replied nonchalantly. She knew he would never find her. No matter how much he searches.

"Roseanne, you were able to perfectly avoid him when you were abroad, as it wasn't his territory. But now that you're back in the country, you can't escape. As the most renowned surgeon, can't you just treat his grandmother for him?" There was a bit of rattle at the other end. "I heard that Lycan Prince Ethan is generous and a rare handsome man. Perhaps you two could even develop a poignant romance."

Isabella lazily yawned. "Cameron, you need to stop reading those romance books. They aren't good for your health"

The Lycan Prince's family was large and prosperous, with complex personnel. They were the rulers of everyone on this continent. Treating a single illness might drag her into something she doesn't want to be in.

Currently, they were having power disputes in their family. Why would she want to get involved in such a top-class family's overt and covert struggles?

This time, she returned to the country to find her son and didn't want any additional problems.

"Truly Roseanne, reason it. You are beautiful, he is handsome, the two of you could be power couples" Cameron screamed happily.

Isabella thought her ear bled from that scream. Isabella suddenly saw a familiar figure approaching the exit in the pick-up area. She responded

nonchalantly, "Such beauty is beyond my fortune to enjoy."

After hanging up the phone, she casually threw it into her pocket and coldly looked down. Unexpectedly, she encountered an old acquaintance so quickly. At the prominent position near the airport, exit stood a man in a suit, looking more mature and sunny than he did five years

ago. It was her ex-fiancé. He was holding a pick-up sign, standing there impatiently, complaining, "When is that fat woman coming out?"

The butler behind him spoke up, "Please be patient. The old gentleman specifically instructed that it shouldn't be too ugly even if it's a divorce." Her ex-fiancé frowned, looking somewhat agitated,

"Patient? I think it's more disgusting. She used to be so fat, and she must be even fatter after giving birth. She probably doesn't want to get divorced anymore, right? Why am I so unlucky to

be entangled with someone like her?"

Hearing these words, Isabella didn't even

bother to lift her eyelids. Over the past five years, she had proposed divorce many

times, but neither her family nor her ex-fiancé's family had agreed. Who was entangling whom?

She didn't care about this person and planned to leave with her daughter. After venting, her ex-fiancé turned his head and his eyes lit up.

The beautiful woman who walked out of the airport first had a delicate and gorgeous appearance, making her a stunning sight. The moment she appeared, the entire airport seemed to brighten up. As the woman approached, Caleb straightened up, adjusted his luxurious suit, revealed a smile, and confidently

said, "Beauty, may I ask your name?"

At that moment, he resembled a peacock spreading its tail.

Isabella smirked when she saw the lewd expression on Caleb's face. She can't believe she had hope that something would spark with this arsehole.

"Isabella"
