The Scars You Carved Into Me

Ivan Reed was an heir who had told Pearl Zane he was poor, and she was with him a long time on that basis. Then he was diagnosed with an illness there is no coming back from. Pearl was pregnant by then, and she also found out what family he came from. To save him she staged a breakup, told him she was leaving over money, and had the boy on her own. Ivan took it the way it was built to look and held it against her. Five years later the boy is hurt in a car accident, getting Ivan's mother clear of it. Pearl goes to Ivan for help and keeps the boy's parentage to herself. Ivan's fiancée works out what the child is to him and moves against him, arranging matters so that Ivan is the one who carries the blame, and the bad blood between Pearl and Ivan gets worse from there.
