"Mommy, don't listen to him! He's the one who appeared out of nowhere and started stealing all my nutrients! Now, he even wants to make you misunderstand me!"

Lucky's voice rang out, so aggrieved and pitiful that it made my heart ache. I quickly patted my belly to comfort him.

"Don't worry, Lucky. I won't believe in some random, unexplained voice!"

I looked around, trying to find the source of the other voice, only for it to appear again. "Mom, stop looking. I'm Sunny, I'm right inside your belly!

"You mustn't listen to him! In our past life, the moment he was born, he strangled me with an umbilical cord and caused you to bleed to death from difficult labor!"

The certainty and urgency in the voice made me hesitate. Were there really two babies inside me?

But at my last checkup, the doctor clearly said there was only one…

Seeing that I didn’t believe him, Sunny's voice softened, weak and childlike.

"Mom, go and check on Dad's cousin, Esther, and you'll know that I'm not lying to you! She's Lucky's real mother, and that evil lady's been in cahoots with Dad ages ago!

"They didn't want to face the shame of having people find out, and when they found out that Lucky had a deformity, they planned to use this pregnancy to kill us and cut off your bloodline!"

Sunny's words made my expression darken instantly.

My husband's cousin, Esther, had always been a thorn between us. He used to dote on her excessively, and we had nearly broken up because of it.

In the end, it was only because I got pregnant that he knelt before me, begging for another chance.

As the two voices in my womb argued, I called a private investigator, and the photos he sent back were like a bucket of water dumped over my head.

In the photos, Esther was strolling through luxury malls, arms full of shopping bags, nothing like the "sent away to suffer" story my husband had fed me!

I pulled out my last prenatal report. The words “cleft lip and palate” stabbed at my eyes.

Lucky's voice rang, carrying a hint of panic, "Mommy, he's lying to you! He's the one who killed you in our past life! If you weren't my actual mother, why would I help you so much?

"The benefits I brought you were real!"

Lucky was right. Within the three months he'd been guiding me, he'd managed to flip our family's assets tenfold.

Sensing my hesitation, Lucky continued, "Mommy, you'll know who's truly good to you at the auction in three days!"

Lucky sounded utterly confident, but Sunny shouted, "You can't go! You'll fall at the auction, leading to your miscarriage, and you'll bleed to death!"

    I jumped, startled, but I recognized the child at a glance."Are you… Lucky?"His cleft lip and palate were severe, clearly never corrected by surgery.His face was split from the lip upward, pitiful yet unsettling.Nothing like the lively presence he had when he was inside me.Seeing that I still recognized him, a stronger light burst into his eyes. "Mom, I'm sorry! Please save me!"I stayed in your blood for seven months, so we're basically family, right? I swear I'll listen to you from now on, respect you and protect my little brother!"I was silent for a moment, before I tugged the corner of my clothes right back."Oh, stop it with all of that. I've never thought of you as family. You were in my womb, yes, but I have thought of you as nothing more than an ungrateful parasite!"If Lucky and I truly died because of you, would you still be acting like we were family?"My expression was filled with mockery and disdain, while Sunny made a face at him."You think a troublemake

  • Two Voices Within   Chapter 7

    After expressing my intention to join the company’s internal operations, I didn’t start from the bottom.Instead, I parachuted straight into the role of deputy general manager, the very role Joshua used to hold.When my colleagues heard I was the chairman’s daughter, they didn’t say anything to my face, only whispering in the bathroom amongst themselves."Tsk, that rich kid just swooped in and took over the place of the person who got us the most business? Who gave her the guts?""Does she even know our bonuses depended on Mr. Fawkes? Dammit, we got stuck with a complete idiot for a boss!""The company went totally crazy with firing people… Should we go to Mr. Fawkes' new company? I hear they've got pretty good prospects!"I was never one to swallow my grievances, so I pushed the door and entered the moment I heard them."You can leave this company if you want. Go hand your resignation forms to HR right now, even."The girls all looked like they’d seen a ghost.Only the one le

    As he spoke, he even tried to pick up the baby.But the moment he saw the child’s frail body, he hesitated.Suspicion flickered across his face as his gaze shifted back and forth between me and the baby.After a long pause, he glared at me and roared, "Is this how you take care of our baby? Look how frail he is!"Sunny was malnourished in the womb, and was much weaker than an average baby. Even his condition at present was already after a period of careful care from a professional nutritionist.Thinking of that, my expression turned even colder.Gerald, my butler who had been waiting nearby, seized this opportunity to snatch the baby back, before ordering the five burly men behind him, "Throw him out!"Suddenly, I heard Sunny's voice, slightly disdainful, "Ew, is this my father? I don't think you have very good taste, Mom!"My face flushed instantly.I poked Sunny’s cheek lightly and muttered under my breath, "Well, we don't need him anymore! I couldn't have given birth to suc

    Lucky’s words made me freeze for a moment.My parents hurried forward when they saw my expression."Sweetheart, the doctor said it was already too late for an induced abortion at your stage. For the sake of your health, the baby had to be delivered."But don't worry, we've already sent that abomination to where he should be. Sunny's in an incubator now because he was too weak. Once you feel better, we'll take you to see him, alright?"Tears welled up in my eyes as I nodded.With my parents by my side, I no longer had to worry about my safety.My voice turned firm."When we get back home, I’m making sure Joshua leaves this family with nothing to his name!""Alright, we'll find you the best lawyers!"After that, I spent a few days recovering in the hospital before returning home with a professional care team.In my mind, Lucky’s voice had long since changed from arrogant and triumphant, to slowly realizing reality, to finally desperate pleading and fear.He had been left at th

    The abomination in my womb didn’t dare move recklessly anymore.As if afraid that one wrong move would cost it its own life.The commotion I made clinging to the roof startled the people next door. They panicked and immediately tried to call the police.I gritted my teeth and stopped them. The moment I got down, the first thing I did was call my parents."Mom, Dad, come get me and send me abroad for the procedure!"I couldn't let that abomination be born from my body!The moment my parents received my call, they rushed over without delay.Using the fastest arrangements possible, they put me on a private jet and sent me abroad.There was no time to explain everything in detail. I could only briefly say that my husband was trying to harm me, and that I had to terminate one of the children.My father exploded in anger."I knew that little bastard was no good! How dare he do this to our precious daughter? "Do it! You can even abort both of them if you want!"I let out a cold l

    I looked at my husband, who had finally arrived late at my hospital bed.My expression was cold, tinged with sorrow.He lowered his head, avoiding my gaze, and simply held the hand I had resting on my belly."Honey, are you okay?"I shook my head, pulling my hand away from his."Honey, what do you think about aborting both our babies? One has a deformity, and the other inherited my allergies. Even if they're born, they're bound to be frail and sickly."Why not terminate both and try again for a healthy child?"My husband's guilty expression stiffened, a frown making its way onto his face. "What are you talking about? You know as well as I do how difficult it was for us to conceive?"Inside me, Lucky's voice turned pitiful, "Mommy, don't abandon me! My cleft can be treated with surgery, and I can bring even more riches to you! With enough time, I can make you the richest person in the world!"Sunny was quiet for a moment, before he said, "As long as you're happy and healthy, th
