Chapter 1
Eight months pregnant, I overheard my husband talking to someone else:
“She’s so stupid, she must not know that the IVF baby she did for two years, is me and Kaylee’s baby.”
“I only married her as a surrogate because I couldn’t bear the thought of Kaylee going through the pain of labor!”
I covered my pregnant belly and tearfully dialed three numbers:
The first to the hospital, “I’ve decided to terminate the pregnancy.”
The second to my parents, “I agree to go home and inherit billions of dollars.”
After the third call, I was silent.
The man’s magnetic and gentle voice came: “No matter what problems you encounter, I will help you solve them. As long as you want, you can always be the world’s richest man’s only bride.”
“You’re not afraid Sophia will lose it once she finds out the truth? No one wants to raise someone else’s kid–especially after carrying it for ten months.”
Zack looked at Ethan with a mocking grin.
“She’s too dumb to ever figure it out. And even if she did–what then? She’s eight months in. She’s not actually gonna go through with it. Look at her, fat as a pig. Who else would want her besides me?”
“True. Everyone knows how obsessed Sophia is with you. She’s clung to you like a damn lapdog for years. Though… I gotta admit, I’ve always wondered what a pregnant chick feels like.”
Zack’s eyes darkened with something vile, and he raised a brow at Ethan.
Ethan’s face twisted in disgust.
“She’s blown up like a balloon. Just looking at her turns my stomach. Don’t even talk to me about sex–I’d rather watch porn than look at that watermelon of a belly.”
“Well, if you’re not into it, maybe I’ll give it a shot next time. I mean it–pregnant girls are supposed to be wild.”
Zack’s filthy laugh echoed through the room, blending with Ethan’s, each chuckle slicing through my heart like a blade.
Because of IVF, I had taken endless hormone pills, endured countless injections, and watched my body swell and deform.
Since getting pregnant, Ethan kept worrying I wasn’t getting enough nutrition. He made me eat like crazy every day, which led to an oversized baby. By the fifth month, stretch marks had already crawled all over my stomach.
I used to think he cared. Now I know–he only cared about the baby. Their baby. His and Kaylee’s.
My palms clenched tight, and cold sweat soaked my back. I fled that suffocating room like my life depended on it.
Once I calmed down, I didn’t hesitate.
I called the hospital again.
“Hi. I’d like to schedule an abortion.”
I rushed there that very night. Staying another second in that house would’ve broken me.
The night doctor looked at my massive belly and asked me again and again.

Chapter 1
“You’re already eight months in. Are you absolutely sure you want to terminate?”
“What about the father?”
“He’s dead.”
Since Ethan wanted this child so badly, I decided to give him a little gift.
The doctor saw the dead look in my eyes and said no more. He handed me the meds and the appointment slip.
“Take the pills. Come back in three days for the procedure.”
I dragged myself home with the slip in hand–only to find the code on the front door no longer worked.
Just as I was about to call, the door suddenly swung open.
I looked at the door in shock.
