Feel-Good Story

After getting drunk with my best friend, Lyla Smith, at the bar, I end up sleeping with my fiance, Silas Clarke, whom I've only met for a few times. Not only that, but I only discover that I'm pregnant with his child two months later. Just when I'm debating whether or not I should tell Silas the truth, Lyla, who has been my friend since we were kids, keep advising me. "You never liked Mr. Clarke anyway, Elara. You might as well use this opportunity to screw this engagement over. "Since you and Logan like each other, he won't mind the fact that you're pregnant with Mr. Clarke's child. He'll definitely treat you and the child well. "When the time comes, you won't have to marry the man you don't like. Plus, you'll marry Logan, the man you love! Isn't this a dream come true?" Just as I'm about to agree to that suggestion, I feel a kick coming from my belly, which has yet to develop a baby bump. Next, a baby's voice echoes in my mind. "Mom, don't trust that mean woman! You'll get abused by that Logan jerk in the future, not to mention you'll be forced to sell your body because of the decision you'll make today! "Dad has already found out that you're the woman from that night! He's on the way here right now!" Upon hearing my unborn baby's thoughts, I tremble violently immediately. Although I don't have any feelings for Silas, I can still try to nurture a relationship with him. On the other hand, I only get to live once, so I can't ruin it no matter what!

Chapter 1
"Elara, are you really willing to marry someone you don't love?"Logan has had a crush on you for ages. Even if you marry him with a baby, he definitely won't mind. You might as well just come clean."Lyla Smith gripped my hand. Her face was full of earnest concern as she tried to persuade me. Silas Clarke was my fiance, someone I'd barely met a few times.Logan Smith, on the other hand, was my boyfriend, the one I'd been dating behind my family's back.Over the years, I'd brought up canceling the engagement more than once. However, every single time, Dad would scold me, frustrated beyond belief."The Clarke family isn't someone we can afford to offend! Mr. Clarke taking an interest in you is the luckiest thing that'll ever happen to you. Can you please stop causing trouble?"So, when Lyla made her suggestion, I was immediately tempted. However, in the next second, a sharp pain shot through my abdomen, and that baby's voice rang out from nowhere."Mom, use your brain! This frien

After I hung up, the baby in my belly started celebrating as if it had just won the lottery. "Yes! Dad's coming! We're saved!"You got totally duped by Lyla before, Mom, but at least your brain decided to work today."I listened to my unborn child roasting me, completely speechless. However, as I looked down at my still-flat stomach, questions flooded my mind.If I could hear the baby's thoughts, could it hear mine too?I placed both hands on my abdomen and tentatively thought, "Baby?""M... Mom!" After a moment of shock, the baby responded with pure joy."Mom, you can actually hear me! This is amazing! At least dying once wasn't for nothing!"I froze. Then, suddenly, the baby kicked my belly.A flood of memory fragments surged into my mind. One memory showed the horrifying abuse I'd endured after leaving the Jackman family with Logan.In it, I was eight months pregnant, lying in ragged clothes among piles of garbage. Logan, who'd once sworn he'd treat me well, now stood over

My words hit Lyla like a slap to the face. She flushed with humiliation instantly.Logan, who was still pinned to the ground, hadn't picked up on my changed attitude. He kept trying desperately to get my attention."Elara, tell them to let me go! I came here to surprise you!"His eyes sparkled as he looked at me, but all I felt was revulsion.The memories flooding my mind didn't just show Logan carving out my baby and killing me. They also revealed how he'd turned violent after we left together. He had constantly beat and berated me.Things got worse after Dad claimed Lyla as his daughter and married her off to the Clarkes. Once the Jackmans abandoned me, I became worthless to Logan.That monster had sold me, over and over, to anyone willing to pay. Even as my pregnancy progressed and my belly grew, those perverts never stopped.The baby sensed my fear and spoke to me, "Don't be scared, Mom. Dad will be here soon, and you're safe in the Jackman residence right now!"Mom noticed

When Dad appeared, Mom immediately explained everything that had happened. Dad, who'd always doted on me, waved his hand dismissively."It's such a small matter. Why make such a scene?"You guards, let them go right now! If word gets out, the media will twist this into some scandal about the Jackmans."Besides, Lyla said that Logan is Elara's friend. There's probably just been some misunderstanding."The moment the tape was ripped from her mouth, Lyla seized her chance. In front of everyone, she announced loudly, "Ms. Elara, Logan is clearly your boyfriend! Why won't you acknowledge him?"You agreed to let me bring him in, but the second Mrs. Jackman found out, you made me take all the blame..."Logan caught Lyla's signal and dropped an even bigger bombshell. "Elara, just tell your parents the truth! We love each other. They'll let us be together!"You're pregnant with my baby. How could they possibly tear us apart now?"The revelation of my pregnancy sent shockwaves through ev

Everyone froze at the sight of Silas. I quickly hooked my arm through his."Mom, Dad, I am pregnant. But the father isn't Logan. It's Silas!"Lyla, I appreciate how hard you tried to get me to elope with Logan, but I have to think about my baby. You and Logan don't need to keep lying to my parents anymore."I made it sound like I was defending her, but everyone heard the implication that she'd planned this. Lyla's jaw clenched so hard I could practically hear her teeth grinding.Silas wrapped his arm around my waist. His expression was full of disgust as he looked at Lyla."Trying to convince my fiancee to run away? Lyla, what exactly are you plotting?"Mr. Jackman, is this really the caliber of maid your household employs?"Before Dad could respond to Silas' accusation, Mom snapped at the guards."Didn't you hear Mr. Clarke? Anyone who tries to manipulate my daughter gets thrown out! And she's never setting foot in this house again!"Lyla panicked immediately. "Mrs. Jackman,

Chapter 6
Silas' hostility toward Lyla had made me suspicious, but his insistence that I'd only be safe with him confirmed it. He'd been reborn too.After staring at my stomach for a moment, he told me what he knew.In my past life, after I eloped with Logan, Dad covered it up. Silas didn't find out his bride had been switched until the wedding day itself.When Silas tried to call it off, Dad told him I'd run away to avoid marrying him. If Silas publicly canceled the engagement, he'd humiliate not just Lyla but the entire Jackman family. And if I ever found out, I'd never forgive him.Somehow, that ridiculous excuse had actually worked.When he later found out I was the woman from the bar, he searched everywhere for me. He finally tracked down the apartment Logan and I were renting.By the time he arrived, he walked in on Logan disposing of my body. In that moment, he was reborn and sent back to when he'd first answered my call.After hearing his story, I couldn't help asking, "Silas, I'v

When the other maids saw me defending Lyla again, they scattered quickly despite their confusion. Lyla buried her hatred and arranged her features into an expression of concern."Elara, your wedding to Mr. Clarke is tomorrow. You shouldn't be worrying about me. I'm fine. What I did was thoughtless, and I almost ruined your reputation. Mrs. Jackman has every right to punish me."I just don't want you to misunderstand. You know I've always thought of you as a good friend. I only wanted you to find happiness."I played dumb, acting like the naive friend she'd always manipulated. "Of course, I know you meant well. Logan and I just weren't meant to be, that's all."I'm marrying into the Clarke family tomorrow. Come to my room tonight. I have something to give you."Lyla jumped at the chance to meet privately.Back in my room, I rested my hand on my slightly rounded belly. "Baby, tonight you'll have to help me put on a little show.""Don't worry, Mom! I'm not your average baby! I'll s

"Logan? What am I doing here? Let me go! This is kidnapping!"When I struggled, Logan grabbed my chin roughly. "Kidnapping? That's not how anyone else will see it. To them, you're just the Jackman heiress who ran off to elope with me."Elara, I told you I wouldn't mind the bastard in your belly. Why couldn't you just leave the Jackmans with me and clear the way for my sister?"The word "sister" made my eyes go wide. "Your sister... You mean Lyla!"My act of playing dumb fed right into his ego. "That's right! Lyla's my sister! Why else would she introduce us? You thought we were meant to be, but it was all her plan from the start!"I shook with fury. "My parents will figure out what you and Lyla are up to! And don't forget, I'm Silas' fiancee. He'll never let me miss our wedding!"His sneer widened. "Who says Silas' fiancee is missing the wedding? Without you, my sister can simply take your place."You really think Silas would humiliate himself over some slut who ran off with ano

Dad and Lyla both went pale when they saw me."You... How are you here... What is this video..."Looking at them, I clenched my fists to keep from crying in front of everyone.I'd been his daughter for 20 years. I'd investigated everything. I knew what he'd done, but watching him sacrifice me for the Smiths still hurt more than I could've imagined.The baby seemed to sense my pain. Even the baby sounded dejected."If it wasn't for you, Mom, I would've lived two lifetimes without knowing Grandpa's a bad guy too!"Silas wrapped his arm around my waist, silently encouraging me to continue. "Where should I be if not here? In Logan's crappy apartment?"As I spoke, a team of bodyguards dragged Logan in, bound and gagged. Bruises covered his face.Dad's eyes filled with concern at the sight of Logan's bruises. Mom finally realized something was terribly wrong."Elara, what's going on?"Logan's recorded voice answered for me. "Technically, I should be calling you my sister too. We're

"If I hadn't noticed something was wrong and asked Silas to investigate, I'd still be in the dark right now. I'd be exactly where they wanted me, trapped in that cramped apartment..."To expose them, I hid a camera in one of my buttons. Please, help my mother and me get justice!"The reporters erupted once they heard what Dad had been doing all these years."He rode his wife's coattails to the top and then kept a mistress? He's a modern-day traitor!""Even animals don't abandon their own young! He threw away his daughter for his mistress' kids. Nathan Jackman is pure evil!""Ms. Jackman, don't worry. We'll report every detail of this. We'll make sure these people face the consequences they deserve!"The camera flashes seemed to snap Dad back to reality. Today's wedding had actually been an elaborate funeral I'd prepared for them. A funeral for their ambitions, their schemes, and their futures.He'd spent decades in business. He knew what total defeat looked like. This loss was p
