I was absorbed in browsing through gifts and didn't notice that there were fewer and fewer people around me. A server approached and handed me a glass of water. After politely thanking him, I brought the glass to my lips.The cup that should have contained plain water had a strange smell instead. I carefully identified it. Was that... abortion pills?Hadn't James arranged for professional service? How could they serve water like this to someone with an obviously pregnant belly?I calmly set down the water, feigning confusion. "Where's James? I've finished choosing. Please come and pay."No one responded, and the server beside me repeated himself. "Miss, it's too dry in here. Drinking some water would be good for your health."My heart went cold. I suddenly stood up and ran toward where I remembered the door to be. The server beside me pressed me down firmly, pinning me to the couch."Who are you? I'm carrying the Foster family's child. Have you thought about the consequences?""

"Shut up! I never did that!" Alexander quickly interrupted her, turning back to look at me in panic, but my expression remained unchanged."You monster, you actually gave Lyddie to..."Seeing Alexander's increasingly guilty expression, Elliot immediately understood. He couldn't catch his breath and swayed unsteadily.Alexander didn't know that he would never have any descendants now. In our village, we could only be betrothed to one person in our lifetime, and only the first child could continue the bloodline for someone who was infertile.Applause rang out from below. It was Vincent's voice."Since this wedding can't continue, I'll take the bride with me. After all, she's carrying my child.""No... You can't!" Alexander quickly blocked his way, standing in front of me."What's the matter? Have you forgotten about that six-million-dollar tiara?"How about this? Let's have Ms. Walker choose who she wants to go with.""Lyddie, you have to believe me, I never..."Amid Alexander'

In the time leading up to the wedding, Alexander stayed home with me every day. He didn't visit Kayla, nor did he let Vincent come replace him anymore.He started trying to make me happy, buying piles of luxury goods. But I actually began missing Vincent. Alexander simply wasn't as attentive in his care as Vincent had been.I found myself craving the soup Vincent used to make. Since I was pregnant, Alexander couldn't be intimate with me, so he tried to kiss me instead.I was somewhat indifferent to it, but whenever he came close, I started feeling physically nauseous. After I threw up several times, he stopped trying. He would just sit beside me, his voice dejected."Do you not like me anymore?"As if I were the one in the wrong. I forced a smile and gave him a dismissive response. "Of course not. This is just normal during pregnancy. It'll get better after the baby's born."Pregnancy was indeed exhausting. My sleep time increased significantly. The night before the wedding, I va

I pretended to be completely oblivious to the situation and asked Alexander back, "Sir, why can't I be pregnant? My husband and I are getting married soon.""That's not... I'm clearly the one who..."Vincent suddenly interrupted him. "Yeah, this is between me and my future wife. Stay out of it.""This is outrageous! You…" Alexander's voice was furious. He was about to step forward when he heard Vincent's next words."I see you brought Ms. Mitchell to the hospital. Is she not feeling well either? You two are so devoted. Your wedding's probably coming up soon too, right?"Alexander froze in place. He didn't dare argue back, knowing that saying another word would reveal the truth to me. Kayla actually laughed, pulling Alexander close with a triumphant expression."Yes, we're having our wedding soon too. We're just waiting for some issues to be resolved. I might as well tell you, I'm pregnant too."I was startled, then laughed inwardly. Kayla was pregnant, but Alexander had been dia

Vincent didn't release me until I was dizzy and breathless."I really hope this baby is born soon. It's starting to interfere with our relationship."I raised an eyebrow slightly. Hadn't he only bought me for a year? Was he planning to renew?"Take me back down. If I don't return soon, Elliot will start worrying."Vincent reluctantly hugged me a bit longer, then called over a server. "I'll have him escort you back. I still have some business to handle, so I need to leave first."Of course, he wouldn't dare show himself. This debt repayment game needed to end. Once I gave birth, the deal would be over and I'd be free. I didn't want to be deceived by either of them anymore.The server led me back to the main hall through the garden. I happened to run into Alexander and his friends there. When Alexander saw me, his voice immediately changed pitch."What happened to your mouth?"It seemed Vincent had smudged my lipstick. How vicious of him."Didn't you just kiss me, Alexander? Are

Fighting back tears, I forced a smile in front of him. So, this was what it felt like to have your heart truly betrayed.Elliot's deal with the village only lasted until I gave birth to a child. But he never specified who the father had to be. Since Alexander had given me to someone else, I wouldn't refuse either.So the next night, when the man appeared again, I no longer reacted violently. Instead, I walked over and leaned into his embrace, removing my clothes piece by piece."Alexander, we don't need protection anymore. Let's have a baby."Day after day, this deceptive relationship between the man and me continued for an entire year. I pretended not to know he wasn't Alexander, and he pretended to be Alexander.Alexander during the day, this man at night. They coordinated so perfectly that they never appeared in front of me at the same time.Every time Alexander held my hand during the day, the man would exhaust me even more thoroughly that night, leaving me unable to get out
