Womb for Wagers

I was freezing from head to toe, my legs so weak I nearly collapsed, yet inside the private room, the atmosphere only grew hotter and wilder.My sister-in-law, Sabine Vire, sat straddling Cassian Thorne’s lap, her skirt pushed up to the top of her thighs."Cass, if your wife finds out about this, she’ll be heartbroken. She still thinks those days on the Obsidian Isle were with you, but the truth is, it was all five of you."Cassian bit down on her lips. "You’re too kind. Did you forget the slap she gave you? I planned all of this to get revenge for you."Sabine covered her cheek. "It’s not entirely her fault either. I was careless. I gave her abortion pills instead of prenatal medicine."Cassian pulled her into his arms and patted her back soothingly. "I know you meant well. You don’t have to explain. Sabine, I promised Pluto I’d take good care of you. I won’t let you suffer even the slightest grievance."Moved, Sabine threw herself into his embrace. "What if she finds out and di

"Look at me. My whole body hurts, especially my inner thighs. It hurts so much I don’t even want to walk."Cassian walked in carrying two glasses of milk, handing one to me and one to Sabine. "Drink up. We’re going to the hospital together afterward."Sabine tilted her head. "If Kaelith is getting checked, why do I have to go?"Cassian flicked her nose. "Dummy, counting the dates, you should be about ready, too. I promised I’d give you a Thorne child as well."They behaved shamelessly in front of me, completely uninhibited.I rose silently without touching the milk. Cassian looked displeased and lifted the glass, trying to force it to my lips."What are you sulking about now? I didn’t come back last night because Sabine kept having nightmares. You know she lost Pluto. I…"As I struggled, the entire glass of milk splashed across Cassian. His fists clenched as he fought to restrain himself.Sabine screamed and scrambled around looking for tissues. "Kaelith, how can you be so viol

I forced myself to stay conscious and searched for Adric, but after only a few steps, my nerves gave out, and I collapsed.When I woke again, I was already in the car heading back.Cassian had Sabine nestled in his arms, while I sat alone in the front passenger seat."You’re just too kind. She’s the one having surgery, yet you insisted on staying by her side. You’re pregnant too. The most important thing now is taking care of your body and my son."When he said "my son", he grinned so happily that it reminded me of how he had looked when I first became pregnant.Back then, he had spun me around in his arms."I’m going to be a father! Honey, we’re going to be parents!"Do you think it’s a boy or a girl? I prefer a son—only a son can inherit everything I’ve built."But if it’s a daughter, that’s fine too. A daughter you give birth to will be just as beautiful as you. And we can always have a second or third child."Those words still echoed in my ears. However, now he wanted to d

"It's fake. She probably just rented some random car to fool you.""You’re panicking and falling right into her trap. Cassian, calm down. Calm down. She’ll come back on her own."The words made sense, yet Cassian still felt uneasy. All these years, I had never left the house at night. Not once.He sent me another message.[You have thirty minutes to come home. If you don’t, don’t blame me for divorcing you.]Adric tossed my phone aside and pulled me onto his lap, my body draped across his long legs. "Ignore that trash. When should we make the announcement?""Announcement? About what?""That the Vales finally have a third generation.""But I haven’t divorced Cassian yet."He kissed my forehead. "What does that matter? Kaelith, bankrupting Cassian would take me seconds, let alone something as trivial as a divorce. Our children are what matter."Just imagine his reaction when he finds out your three babies are all mine, when he realizes those nights were a game between you and m

"What did you just say?" Cassian asked warily, "Kaelith, what nonsense are you talking about?"I slapped him again. Blood sprayed everywhere. It was disgusting.Adric gently wiped the blood from my hand with a wet tissue. "Wifey, don’t dirty your hands. Let me handle it."Bleeding heavily from the blows, Cassian suddenly burst into laughter. "Hahaha! Hahaha! Adric, how can someone as high and mighty as you be so stupid?"You don’t even know whose children Kaelith is carrying, yet you rushed to make that public announcement. Aren’t you afraid of humiliating yourself? Do you know how she got pregnant with those three babies? Do you realize they could all have different fathers?""Exactly!" Sabine chimed in, "Mr. Vale, you’ve been deceived. Kaelith is nothing but a tramp. If you knew what she went through to get pregnant with those three babies, you’d be utterly disgusted. You’d despise her."Adric lightly patted my hand. "Oh? What process? Show me. I’d love to see for myself."Sab
