On the day the twins were born, I bought all the tocolytics from the hospital and forcibly delayed the delivery.
I held on until the next day, and watched with my own eyes as Lucas Sterling announced that his lover No. 10, Scarlett Vance, had given birth to his child.
Her child will be the future heir of Monarch Group.
I finally breathed a sigh of relief and gave birth to twins on the spot.
In his previous life, Lucas was diagnosed with congenital sperm weakness. In order to leave an heir, he kept ten lovers outside and announced that whoever gave birth to a child first would have the child be the heir to the group.
He said that as long as I gave birth to a child first, he would dismiss all his lovers and let my child inherit Monarch Group.
I believe it.
When I unexpectedly became pregnant with twins, I was extremely excited. But on the day of delivery, what I was greeted with was not his smile, but his anger.
He ignored my screams and stuffed the baby back into me and sewed me up.
I watched with my own eyes as they slowly died in my stomach.
He dragged me and forced me to kowtow in front of a new grave until my head was bleeding.
"Scarlett has a miserable background. I just want her child to be the heir of Monarch Group so that no one will dare to bully her and her child in the future. But you want to take away even this."
"She died in childbirth, two lives lost. I want you to pay with your life."
I was beaten to death in front of Scarlett's grave.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back to that day.
This time, I helped them to be a family of three.
I called the nurse and asked her to give me the last injection of inhibitor.
The nurse was so scared that she shouted to dissuade him: "Madam, you have to give birth. If you delay any longer, your life will be in danger!"
I bit my lip and before I could say anything, Lucas' bodyguard rushed in and forcibly took me away.
The nurse and doctor were shouting desperately behind her: "Madam's heart rate and blood pressure are both dropping. If you take her away by force, she will bleed profusely. It will be one corpse and three lives!"
But the bodyguard turned a deaf ear and took me to the press conference in a rude manner.
Lucas's lovers were also brought to the scene, some with bulging bellies.
Then, everyone, including me, was forced to drink a bowl of abortion pills by the bodyguards.
The venue was suddenly filled with screams and wails, and the stench of blood quickly filled the air.
"Even if the president's wife gives birth to a child, it won't be our turn as lovers to take the position. But why do we have to abort the child? Ah, it hurts! Help—"
I was also forced to drink a whole bowl of medicine, and the labor that had just stopped started bleeding profusely.
My shouting startled the women present, and they panicked:
"The president's wife was also drugged? She's about to give birth!"
"If it's not my wife giving birth to a child, then who is it? Who wants to kill all of us?"
I rolled over on the ground in pain, gritting my teeth and shouting outside: "Call a doctor! Someone could die!"
Just then, Scarlett, wearing a white gauze dress, walked in with Lucas on her arm. Her face was rosy, and she didn't look like she had just given birth.
As soon as Lucas came in and saw his lover lying on the ground, his face changed instantly.
Scarlett covered her nose and screamed, "Oh my, why did all these sisters have miscarriages? Who is so cruel that he won't let them give birth to their babies?"
Before she could finish her words, Lucas glared at me and kicked me hard in the stomach.
"You bitch! You drugged them while I was away, and you were so jealous that you wanted to kill them and their unborn children!"
I was in so much pain that I couldn't stand up. I looked at her standing behind him with a smug look on her face. I gritted my teeth and said, "I didn't...it must be her—"
"You still don't admit it?" He shouted, "This isn't the first time you've hurt someone out of jealousy! This time, I won't indulge you again."
He ordered the bodyguards: "Everyone give her a slap. After that, I will send you to the best hospital and confinement center."
The bodyguard held me in the middle of the field, not caring at all that I was bleeding from my lower body.
The girls came up to me crying and slapped me with tears in their eyes: “I’m sorry, ma’am…”
One after another, the slaps made my ears ring and my eyes dizzy, and I couldn't hear clearly with one ear.
After everyone was sent away, Lucas took the child from the nanny with satisfaction and walked to me holding Scarlett's hand.
He looked at me covered in blood, with blood on my cheeks, and a complex look flashed in his eyes. But the next moment, he raised his chin and said coldly:
"Don't blame me for letting them beat you. I have to teach you a lesson, to let you know that if you dare to be jealous and hurt others again, you will end up like this."
"So that you don't try to snatch the position of heir from Scarlett and her son."
I shuddered and looked up at him.
It turns out that I am not the only one who has been reborn.
No wonder he immediately identified me as Scarlett opened her mouth.
No wonder he said it was “not the first time” I did this.
Because in my previous life, he also wronged me and sentenced me to death for Scarlett.
My eyes were red, and he said coldly:
"Eleanor Shaw, there's no point in you pretending to be pitiful. There's no point in you giving birth earlier."
"I've asked the doctor to give Scarlett a drug to induce labor. This time she will definitely be ahead of you. Whoever gives birth first will have the child be the heir. It will be useless even if you give birth."
I laughed miserably, covering my bleeding lower body, and whispered:
"I have already taken inhibitors to delay production and make way for your family of three. But why are you still unwilling to let me give birth to my child? Why do you still want me to take drugs to kill my child..."
He was stunned and frowned.
"Don't talk nonsense. Your due date came last night. I asked the doctor and he said you gave birth a long time ago."
I was sweating profusely and kept crying out in pain. I pulled him to take a closer look at my still bulging belly.
His face was full of disgust and he impatiently shook off my hand without even looking at my stomach.
"Stop pretending. If you want to prove that you are not trying to harm Scarlett, you have to admit at the press conference tomorrow that you can't have children, so you asked Scarlett to give birth for you."
"Then give all your shares and property to her and her child. Take good care of them in the future."
"If you dare to play tricks on her again, I will punish not only you and the evil offspring in your belly, but also your seriously ill father. You can't continue to be treated peacefully in the VIP ward."
I stared at Lucas with eyes wide open in disbelief, crying my heart out:
"Lucas, you bastard! My dad is now in a coma and has become a vegetable. I did it all to save you. How can you threaten me with my dad's life and death?"
Lucas said impatiently: "As long as you take good care of Scarlett during her confinement and take good care of her and her child in the future, I won't touch him."
After that, he took Scarlett in his arms and left.
"Scarlett, thank you for giving birth to my heir. I will reward you well."
I was bleeding profusely from my lower body, and I kept begging the bodyguards at the venue to send me to the hospital to save the baby in my belly.
My mother-in-law came in a hurry, and when she saw the blood in the venue and my body covered in smelly amniotic fluid, her face turned pale.
"Send them to the hospital immediately! If anything happens to my grandchildren, I won't let any of you off!"
I was taken to the hospital, but the doctor never showed up.
My mother-in-law was furious and asked me where the doctor assigned to me had gone.
The nurses said in embarrassment.
"Madam, all the doctors in the city have been called to the riverside villa by the president. Miss Scarlett broke her finger a little when she was drawing blood, and Sterling is always worried that she might have an accident, so he asked all the doctors to be on standby."
"Right now, there are no doctors in the entire city... "
The mother-in-law was so angry that she kept calling: "This is crazy. He begged his wife to marry him and now she is bleeding heavily during childbirth, but he called away all the doctors for a mistress and didn't care about his wife's life or death!"
When the tenth call came, Lucas finally answered the phone and asked impatiently what my mother-in-law was doing, asking if I was being unreasonable and asking her for support again.
The mother-in-law shouted excitedly: "Eleanor has been bleeding heavily and has fallen into a coma! The baby in her belly is lacking oxygen! You even took her doctor away. Do you want to kill your wife and child?"
Lucas sneered: "Did Eleanor ask you to call me? She gave birth to her baby yesterday. Why is she pretending to be in critical condition now?"
"Alright, alright, I still need to take birth photos for Scarlett and her son. Doesn't she want a doctor? I'll just send someone."
My mother-in-law hung up the phone and held my hand tightly.
"Don't be afraid, Eleanor, the doctor will be here soon."
I held my belly tightly, feeling the life inside it gradually fading away.
Thinking back to my last life, my child was also sewn to death in my stomach by Lucas, suffocating to death.
I was trembling all over, holding my mother-in-law's hand, and said with difficulty.
"Mother-in-law, three years ago, my father fell into a coma while trying to save Lucas. You promised me that you would treat me as your own daughter. If Lucas treated me badly, you would help me divorce Lucas."
"I beg you to let me divorce him. I will never stand in his way of letting the son of his beloved woman take his place. I just want my children to be born safely."
The mother-in-law was already in tears, and kept talking.
"Although I wanted to repay your father for saving my life, I only said that I wanted to adopt you as my goddaughter. It was Lucas who confessed his love to you and proposed to you. He loves you so much, how come it has turned out like this? It's all because of that bitch Scarlett. If she hadn't suddenly appeared, you wouldn't be like this now."
I smiled miserably. Yes, how could my childhood sweetheart’s first love turn out like this?
The man who said at the coming-of-age ceremony that he would love me forever and that if he betrayed me, he would be cut into pieces and die a miserable death.
Now, for another woman, I am being chopped into pieces.
"Please, Mrs. Sterling." I gritted my teeth and said each word.
Listening to my weak pleading, my mother-in-law finally nodded.
"Okay! When you got married, I asked him to sign a divorce agreement with you, so that if there is a rift between you one day, I can help you get out. Now I will go back and get it for expedited processing!"
"Tomorrow, I will declare that you are my only heir. As for this ungrateful son, I will no longer recognize him!"
My mother-in-law left immediately to deal with the matter.
I lay on the hospital bed, the pain in my abdomen was like a tide, and I cried out.
The assistant left by my mother-in-law was anxiously waiting for the doctor sent by Lucas to arrive.
Finally, someone came.
But the person who came was not a doctor, but a courier boy.
Seeing the blood in the delivery room, he helplessly handed over the bag, and a sanitary napkin and a band-aid fell out of the bag.
"Sterling always said that it's just postpartum lochia, it won't kill you, just wipe it off yourself, don't disgust him with this kind of thing anymore."
