“You belong to me!”
In the nightmare, she heard the dull voice again, and she seemed to feel like the man had gently swept his cold fingertips over her skin, like a dragonfly skimming the water but leaving a burning flame.
The man’s deep eyes were like those of hungry wolves, glowing blue.
“Ah!”
Selina Young was instantly frightened and sat up.
After a long delay, she woke up from her nightmare, subconsciously turned her face and looked at the makeup mirror by the bed.
The woman in the mirror was pale and thin, but her belly was as big as a water tank.
She had been pregnant for eight months, but her belly was bigger than others who had been pregnant for ten months!
Her belly suddenly moved. Selina thought it was just an ordinary fetal movement. She did not expect that this time it was accompanied by pain. The next moment, she felt a heat flow gushing out in an instant.
She was going to give birth to her baby!
Selina hurried out of the bedroom and went to the hall to call the nanny. At this time, she heard the conversation between Joseph Young, her father, and Jennifer Lee, her aunt.
“I didn’t expect that Laura Lee would leave her inheritance to Selina. I am her husband, but she gave it to Selina, that silly girl! I should have known it. I should have forced her to change her will before I pulled out the oxygen cylinder!” Joseph said.
Jennifer comforted softly, “Joe, don’t be angry. Everyone in the city knows Selina is pregnant though she’s unmarried. Selina is a disgraced daughter, but you are a loyal and reliable husband. I believe the board of directors of the company will make the right judgment!”
Selina was shocked. “You, you…”
“Dad, it was you who pulled out mom’s oxygen cylinder? How could you do that? She’s your wife! Aunt Jennifer, were you just watching dad kill mom? Wasn’t she your sister?” Selina could not believe that these two people who were the closest to her mother had killed her mother!
Jennifer and Joseph found her standing behind them, but they did not panic.
“That bitch should have died long ago. She obviously had a terminal illness but dominated Joe and QS Company. If she had not intervened, Joe and I would have married and had children!” Jennifer resented.
“What? I can’t believe that! You two...” Selina did not expect that her father and aunt had an affair. She could not help scolding angrily, “How shameless you are!”
Jennifer rushed to slap her. “Shut up, bitch!”
Selina fell down and her amniotic fluid flowed all over the floor.
Her contractions started, and she had no time to quarrel with them. She covered her belly and said, “Call... Call an ambulance!”
Jennifer looked down at her embarrassed appearance and sneered, “Why should I help you? The little thing in your uterus can’t live. We were going to have you have an abortion. Now you can’t give birth to your baby. I will be very happy if your baby die!”
“No, please! The baby is innocent! It did nothing wrong.” The sharp pain from her belly made her unable to stand up. For the sake of her baby, she tried to climb to the table to touch the fixed telephone on it.
Since she had been pregnant, Joseph and Jennifer had taken away her mobile phone. She was like a canary trapped in the villa without any freedom.
However, she was willing to endure for the sake of her baby.
Now, as long as she called 911 and the ambulance came in time, her baby could be born safely!
Jennifer had a sinister look in her eyes. She raised her foot and stepped on the back of Selina’s hand.
“Hiss.”
Selina’s expression changed with pain.
“You are the same as your mom. You will never give up until the last moment, but no matter how hard you struggle, you can’t save your mother and yourself! Forget about the bastard in your belly!” Jennifer said coldly.
As long as there is a glimmer of hope, don’t give up! This was what her mother had taught her.
Selina’s eyes were full of hope. She grabbed Jennifer’s foot and pushed it aside. Then she climbed over and grabbed the phone.
“Ouch!”
Jennifer twisted her foot and was immediately furious. Without even thinking about it, she grabbed Selina’s hair and knocked it hard on the table.
Selina’s whole body was stiff, and the phone in her hand slammed on the floor. The next moment, her body became soft, and she fell onto the floor without any sound.
Blood mixed with transparent amniotic fluid dyed the snow-white tiles bright red.
Selina had already fainted from the pain.
Jennifer nervously touched Selina’s nose and was shocked to find that the she did not breathe!
“Joe, she’s dead!” Jennifer jumped into Joseph’s arms in panic.
Joseph glanced at the blood on the floor and frowned with disgust, “Don’t worry. I will deal with it.”
“The garbage station one kilometer away is newly built and has not been equipped with monitoring. It is obvious that she had an accidental dystocia, which has nothing to do with us.”
…
Five years later.
“Mommy, I can’t find my little towel with the design of Peppa Pig!”
“Mommy, I’m hungry. I want to eat the small cake, can I?”
“Mommy...”
As soon as Selina and her children moved to a new villa, Mrs. Miller was busy tidying up the room for the five children. They flocked to harass their mommy who was working.
Looking at her five children, Selina felt sweet but anxious. She had struggled to give birth to her triplets.
She had two boys and one girl. As for the other two boys, they had been adopted by her. She had found them eating remained food in a garbage station when she had lived abroad. They had reminded her of herself, so she had decided to adopt them no matter how hard it would have been.
She always told others that all the five children had been born to her. And the children loved each other although they knew the truth.
In order to make it easy to distinguish them, she named them according to the order of the alphabet. The first letter of the name of the eldest boy was A, A for Adam. The second boy was B, B for Billy. The third boy was C, C for Cody. The youngest boy was D, D for David. And the youngest child, who was a girl, was E, E for Emma.
“Adam, didn’t I tell you to play with your brothers and sister?” Selina found that Adam was lying on the sofa and playing with the iPad at a glance.
Adam retorted righteously, “I can’t satisfy them. David doesn’t want to play hide and seek, because he thinks it is childish. If we play aeroplane chess
a chess similar to the western game of Ludo and Indian game of Pachisi
, Billy always retracts his move. If we play mafia, Cody always looks stupid. We just can’t play together!”
Perhaps she was blessed by God. These five children not only had good appearance, but they also had great personality. They also had a high IQ. They were all tested and verified young talents!
Probably because they had lived together for a long time, even the two adopted boys had become more and more like the other three children. Now when they went out together, no one would suspect that they were not siblings.
Selina was worrying about how to deal with it when her cell phone rang.
It was an emergency call from the secretary.
There was a major problem in the studio, and she had to solve it herself.
“Adam, take care of your brothers and sister. I’m in a hurry to go out to work. I will come home as soon as possible tonight!” Selina kissed on the forehead of each little child, hurriedly put on her bag and high heels and ran out of the door.
“Mommy is always working. I hate that. Mommy was very busy abroad. She is still so busy when she returns home!” Billy tooted his mouth and puffed his cheeks like a little puffer fish.
The youngest child, Emma, touched her brother’s little head and said softly, “Mommy works so hard for us! We have to be obedient! If you are obedient, I can give you a bite of the small cake for tea!”
Billy’s eyes were lit up immediately. “Really?”
Cody patted him on the head unbearably. “Do you really know how to be a brother? If you dare to think about your sister’s little cake again, I will ask Mrs. Miller to make you a cold bitter gourd for afternoon tea!”
“Cody is bad!” Billy tearfully complained, “Adam, don’t you care about your brother?”
Adam was addicted to the iPad and said casually, “Mommy said that you should do your things on your own. Billy, you are old enough to be an independent boy.”
Billy turned back to see the black belt around Cody’s waist and silently turned his head.
Actually, it’s good to live.
