Grace begged them to believe that she truly loved James, but they both laughed at her. From that day forward, James treated Grace like a stranger in their own home. He moved to a different bedroom and refused to speak to her. The servants saw everything, but could not help because they feared losing their jobs.
Grace felt so alone and scared, thinking about raising a baby in such a cold and loveless environment. As Grace’s belly grew bigger, James grew more distant and cruel. He would bring other women to the house and parade them in front of Grace. He wanted to hurt her and show her that she meant nothing to him anymore.Grace’s heart broke into a million pieces, but she endured everything for the sake of her unborn baby. Grace’s family in the village did not know what was happening. Grace was too ashamed to tell them about her suffering. She sent them letters saying everything was fine and that she was very happy. Her mother wrote back saying how proud they were that Grace had married such a rich and successful man who could give her everything.
N months passed like a slow torture for Grace. She had no friends in the city and no one to talk to about her pain. The servants pied her but kept their distance. Grace spent her days walking around the big empty mansion talking to her unborn baby. She promised the baby that she would love it enough for both parents.
One evening, Grace felt sharp pains in her stomach. She was 9 months pregnant and knew the baby was coming soon. She called out to James, who was in his study, counting his money and looking at his business papers. Grace held her belly and told him they needed to go to the hospital right away. The pains were getting stronger and closer together.
James looked at Grace with angry eyes filled with disgust and hatred. He had been in a bad mood all day because one of his business deals had failed. He lost millions of dollars because his partner had cheated him.

Her father was a farmer and her mother sold vegetables in the small market. James met Grace when she was working as a waitress in a restaurant. He was attracted to her beauty and simple nature. Grace thought James was her prince who would give her a better life. When James married Grace, his family was very angry with him. His mother said Grace was too poor and not good enough for their family.
His father refused to attend the wedding ceremony. James did not care at that time because he loved Grace in his own way. But his family’s words stayed in his mind like poison. After the wedding, James started treating Grace badly. He would come home late and shout at her for small mistakes.
If the food was too hot or too cold, he would throw the plate on the floor. Grace would clean up quietly with tears in her eyes. She prayed every night that James would change back to the man she married. James’s mother visited the mansion often to make trouble. She would insult Grace and call her names in front of the servants.
