Semua Bab The Secret Heir：Marrying My Ex's Uncle: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Alice’s POV“Hand me your child after you give birth, Alice, or there will be consequences!” Lily, my step-sister, shouted at me while we were inside the delivery room of St. Mary’s Hospital. I clutched my belly protectively as I sat on the bed in a hospital gown and looked at her coldly. “Just because you faked your pregnancy to your fiance doesn't mean I’ll sacrifice my own beloved child for your selfish gains! So keep dreaming!” My step-sister had used a prosthetic belly to fake her pregnancy for nine months to force Adam Kastner, the young master of the most powerful Kastner family into marriage. Now she needed a baby to present to the family to secure the marriage. She was after my child since I was eight-months pregnant. Unlike her fake nine-months belly, mine was real and it even hurt to tie a shoelace while carrying my child in my womb for so many months. After all this pain and hardship I carried for months just so I could bring this life into the world, she expected me t

Alice’s POVJace started laughing. I remembered how I used to love his laughter. But right now it made a shiver run down my spine. "What are you running away for?" he asked,"Why didn't you just do what your father told you?"I stared at him in disbelief, unable to move. "Jace!" I snapped. "How can you say that? You know my father wants to steal our child.” He sighed, like I was being annoying. "Alice," he said. "I'll tell you the truth so you stop running around and making things difficult for us."He put his hands in his pockets, looking relaxed and casual. My chest tightened. "Your father promised me an investment," Jace muttered. "That's the only reason I dated you. For the money."The wind blew through the trees nearby, rustling the leaves. I must have heard him wrong."Do you know how annoying it was?" Jace continued, his voice getting lighter, like he was finally free to say what he really thought. "Staying with you every day. Pretending to be sweet. Pretending to care about

Alice's POV"Let go of me!" I tried to pull my arm free, but Jace's grip only tightened."Stop making a scene, Alice." He dragged me out of the elevator, his fingers digging into my skin hard enough to bruise.Serena walked behind me with a smirk on her face, as if she enjoyed watching me suffer like this. Out of all the people, I had trusted her the most and even she betrayed me. "Stop fighting," he hissed. "You're only making this harder."I tried my best to resist, thwarting my legs and scratching his arm. If I went back to that hospital, they'd take my baby. I'd never see my child again.Even if the child was born because of unfavorable circumstances, I still wanted it. The baby was my only hope to live. I had no one else. I twisted in his grip, trying to break free, but Jace was stronger."Sir, is there a problem?" A security guard in a crisp white uniform stepped forward, his eyes moving from Jace to me. He must have noticed my struggle. Jace froze."No problem," Jace said qu

Alice's POVThe car screeched to a stop outside the hospital's emergency entrance."She's bleeding too much!" the driver shouted.I was taken inside the hospital. Everything was spinning. The bright lights above me blurred together as they rushed me down the hallway on a stretcher."We need to get the baby out now," I heard a nurse’s voice. "Prepare for emergency delivery…"The pain was unbearable. I screamed as I was on the bed, going into labor. The doctor encouraged me to push and it took all my strength to not give up. I fought this far to save my baby, I’d fight this too. I gave a final push and heard a tiny, weak cry. My baby! But I couldn’t keep my eyes open for long to see it as darkness pulled me to sleep. When I opened my eyes again, everything was white and blurry. I blinked slowly, trying to remember where I was. My body felt heavy and sore, like I'd been hit by a truck. But my stomach felt empty. The baby.Panic shot through me, and I tried to sit up, but pain explo

Alice's POVEveryone stood in silence, waiting for the doctors to begin. The two doctors were ready and the nurse had prepared all the equipment. All Lily had to do was lie down on the bed and let them examine her.But she didn't move."Lily, darling," Francoise said quickly, stepping between her daughter and the doctors. "Before the examination, could I have a moment alone with you? Just one minute. I need to give you some strength. A mother's encouragement."The doctor frowned. "Ma'am, this is an emergency situation.""Just one minute," Francoise insisted in a firm voice. "My daughter is terrified. She thinks she's losing her baby. As her mother, I need to calm her down first."Adam nodded. "Yes, please. Lily needs her mother right now."David's eyes narrowed, but he said nothing."Fine," the doctor agreed. "One minute. But please hurry."Francoise took Lily's arm and pulled her toward the corner of the room, near the bathroom. She positioned them so their backs were to everyone el
