My best friend, Sienna Monroe, who always swears she'll never marry, goes with me to the fertility clinic and suddenly snatches away the donor profile I choose. That's when I know she has come back to life too. In my previous life, I wanted a mixed-race baby, so I chose the IVF route. Sienna mocked me, saying I'd just be raising someone else's child. But two weeks later, I was taken to the royal palace of Valoria. It turned out the donor I picked was none other than the Prince of Valoria, a man of eight national lineages. He not only insisted on marrying me as his princess but also promised that our child would inherit the throne. The baby and I were cherished by the entire royal family, so much so that the jewels they draped over me nearly bent my back. Meanwhile, Sienna flaunted her extreme feminist stance and offended business partners. In the end, she was fired and blacklisted across the industry. Sienna spent all her savings on a plane ticket to attend my party, where I would introduce my baby to everyone. But when I went to welcome her, she crushed my son to death in her hands and splashed concentrated acid on me. "You don't deserve such good fortune! You worthless witch!" But when I opened my eyes again, I had gone back to the day I asked her to go with me to the fertility clinic.
View MoreThe men in black hauled me into the royal palace. Sienna presented me as a trophy and pointed me out to Andre. "She has type O blood too. She's also the one who went for IVF at the clinic. Her baby will be a match, and she can help treat Lunasha's anemia."So, she had pieced it together and sold me out without blinking.Sienna dropped to her knees and fawned over Andre. "You said you need someone to be your wife as cover. I can do that. I promise I won't cause any more trouble. Let Aria have your baby and give me an honorary title. I'll stay far away from you and your loved ones!"Whatever else could be said about Sienna, she definitely knew which way the wind blew.Andre nodded, satisfied, then told a doctor to run tests on me.When Sienna saw that I wasn't the least bit afraid, she bristled. "Drop the act, Aria! You think that's going to get Andre's attention? Take a good look in the mirror and remember your place!"Before I could answer, she went on through clenched teeth, spi
Sienna stared at Andre like she was seeing a stranger. This wasn't the perfect, rich husband she had built up in her head.I let out a cold laugh at the screen. Andre hadn't changed a bit. His temper was just the same. In his royal family, marriages between close relatives were so frequent that birth defects and inherited illnesses became common.Andre had XYY syndrome, but years of palace training had taught him to keep it under control. While Sienna was pregnant, he wouldn't risk harming the baby.As for why I was still the princess when Sienna arrived in Valoria in my last life, the answer was simple and ugly. The woman I had seen in Andre's bed was his sister, Lunasha Herbert. The royals had gone to great lengths to cover up that scandalous truth.My arrival gave them the perfect cover. By presenting me as his wife, Andre and Lunasha could keep their secret hidden in plain sight.Their baby, born of close blood, had leukemia and needed a relative's marrow for a transplant.To
The baby was brought back as Sienna wished, but his face was chalk white and his breathing faint. He looked as if he only had minutes left.Sienna broke down, sobbing and begging the doctor holding the baby to save him, but he gave no response. The baby probably couldn't be saved.Then, Sienna started lashing out. "Why did this happen? When I came to Valoria, that bitch's baby was perfectly fine, and she was still the princess! Why is my baby dying? That bitch cut me off for weeks, yet the minute I called, she showed up! She must've seduced my husband! That bitch!"So, once again, I was the one to blame, as if I had the power to orchestrate any of this. In my previous life, my baby survived because my body held up.When I first came to Valoria, I never believed in fairy tales, so I kept my guard up. Andre would slip out of our bedroom every night. One time, I trailed him at a distance and watched him crawl into another woman's bed.I heard him whisper to her, "Just wait a little
Sienna watched in disbelief as they carried her baby away. She tried to push herself up, but her legs gave out and she fell to the floor. Her fresh stitches tore, and blood seeped through her hospital gown.Everyone had already followed Andre out with the baby.I was the only one left in the hospital room.Sienna broke into a raw scream. "Why didn't you stop them? Didn't you hear what they were saying? You're heartless!""What do you expect me to do? You think I can take on a room full of royals and doctors by myself?"Sienna didn't care. She only needed someone to blame. "They took my baby! Why are you still standing here? Go find Andre! Get my baby back!"Two nurses hurried in before I could answer.Sienna's eyes lit up at once, then she shot me a vicious glare. "See? Andre was only joking. He would never do anything to me or our baby! You just wait till I'm back on my feet!"The next second, the nurses pulled out a syringe and inserted the needle into her arm.Sienna's face
Sienna thought I was scared of her and strutted around, full of pride. All through dinner, she took shots at me, every remark a jab meant to put me in my place.The very next day, she posted a photo of a private jet, with her location tagged in Valoria.Even if our boss hadn't planned to fire Sienna this time around, it didn't matter. Our company soon got hammered by a rival. We looked into it and, sure enough, Sienna was the one behind it. Within weeks, the company folded, and we were all out of work.My colleagues cursed her while sending out their résumés.However, Sienna wasn't done. As petty as ever, she got me blacklisted across the entire industry.Then, my phone lit up with her messages."Aria, who told you to egg our coworkers on? Don't think I don't know. They're calling me crazy because you stirred the pot!"My baby is due in two months. I'm about to become the most prestigious woman in the world. Come to Valoria and lick my boots, and maybe I'll let you be a maid in
Sienna proudly introduced her husband, Prince Andre of Valoria."Andre says that the minute our baby is born, he'll be named heir. You still have time to get on my good side. Otherwise, with just one order from me, your company could go under. Aria, you'd be out of a job too."Everyone sensed something was off, but Sienna was lost in her princess fantasy.Our colleague, Paula, tugged me aside while Sienna preened for the others."Since when does a real prince donate to a sperm bank? And Valoria has strict ranks. They won't crown a foreign woman, let alone promise her kid the throne."Andre's generosity, though, was hard to argue with. Sienna complained that her jewelry felt too light. Within half an hour, a couture designer arrived to take her measurements and design a custom set on the spot.The envy in the room made Sienna look smugger than ever.In my previous life, Andre treated me the same way. When I felt the slightest hint of morning sickness, he would panic and have the
