Chapter 1

During our fertility treatments, my husband secretly implanted both his and his cousin's samples into me, betting on whose child I would carry.

The day the results came in, the entire family absolutely erupted.

"Shameless woman! She actually got pregnant with another man's baby!"

"Given Marcus's offer of a high-value property, we can just endure these ten months, and it'll be over."

My husband, Ryan, was seething even more.

"If Aria truly loved me, her body wouldn't have accepted another man's sperm!"

"But now that she's pregnant, no one else will want her."

"Women are soft-hearted when it comes to their babies. She'll never be able to abort him!"

"Just let her bear all the expenses herself. Once she gives birth, I'll punish her, making her give birth to sons for me until I'm satisfied!"

But I stood outside, clutching the termination forms, and silently turned to leave.

On my due day, Ryan and Marcus frantically blew up my phone.

"Aria! Where the hell are you?!"

"Marcus is here with the house deeds, demanding his baby!"

I sat in a Maybach, gazing at the exotic sights outside the window.

"If you want a baby so badly, why don't you just make one yourselves?"
