My Husband Made Me Raise His Mistress’s Twins

"Because she was stupid. The moment she heard something had happened to you, she rushed to take out a loan."

"Zara, let me tell you, so long as I'm around, don’t even dream of returning to the Bellamy Family. And forget about being with Theo!"

"You—!"

I stared at her, helpless.

Suddenly, Mira dropped to the floor, crying out in pain.

"Theo, my stomach... it hurts so bad..."

Blood began to pool between her legs.

Theo rushed out of the office and the moment he saw her on the ground, he slapped me across the face.

"Zara, how can you be so cruel!"

"Just wait, if anything happens to Mira, I’ll never forgive you!"

At the hospital, panic filled Theo’s bloodshot eyes. I had never seen him like that.

"Doctor, please save her. I can’t live without her!"

"I’ll pay anything, just save her!"

Watching him fall apart, I finally asked the question I had buried for so long.

"Theo, aren’t I your wife?"

"You said I pushed her. Did you even check the security footage?"

Tears streamed down my cheeks.

Theo froze. Maybe because he had never seen me cry like that.

Then he grabbed me by the throat.

"Don’t act innocent now."

"If I hadn’t wanted to make Mira jealous, do you think I’d have ever married you?!"

Just then, a nurse burst through the door.

"Family of Mira? The baby couldn’t be saved and the mother was losing too much blood. She’s in critical condition!"

The moment she finished, Theo kicked me hard in the stomach.

A sudden warmth spread between my legs.

I reached down, blood.

"Theo..."

I clutched my stomach, my face going pale.

"I think I’m pregnant. Please, get a doctor..."

Theo slapped me across the face.

"Even now, you're still trying to trick me?"

"Let me tell you the truth. Those pills I gave you? They weren’t birth control. They were abortion pills. I switched them myself. I only ever wanted you to be a nanny!"

"The doctor already said your uterus is useless!"

I looked up, stunned.

"You… How could you..."

So all those years I couldn’t get pregnant. It was because he made sure I never could.

I laughed, then broke into tears.

"Who here is B blood type in Mira’s family? Hurry, we’re losing her!"

The nurse’s voice shook. Theo looked around, then locked eyes with me.

"You’re B type, aren’t you?"

"She’s B type! Take her blood. Take all you need!"

I grabbed his sleeve in shock.

"No! Theo, I’m pregnant! If you take my blood, the baby won’t survive!"

The nurse also noticed the blood under me. "This won’t do! She’s pregnant. We can’t—"

Theo raised his hand and cut her off. "She’s faking it! Just draw the damn blood!"

He pulled a piece of paper from his pocket.

"This is her organ donation form. As her husband, I’ve signed it. No matter what happens, we won’t hold the hospital responsible."

"I’m Theo of the Arden Family. I only care about the one inside that room surviving!"

The nurse hesitated for a long time.

"Then bring her in, quickly!"

I was forcefully pinned to a hospital bed by several strong bodyguards.

"No! Let me go!"

Pain twisted through my lower abdomen. Sweat blurred my vision.

Until I saw the faces of my parents before me.

My eyes lit up through the haze.

"Mom, you’re here! Please save me!"

What greeted me was a hard slap from my mother.

"You heartless thing! You actually sent Mira to the hospital. I’ll never forgive you!"

My father frowned and looked at me coldly.

"You were drugged. There’s no way you could be pregnant. And you still laid a hand on Mira? This is your karma!"

I squinted in pain, my heart sinking completely.

So they knew I had been drugged all along.

By the fifth vial of blood, I was already on the edge of shock.

The twins stood outside the hospital room, their eyes cold.

"A nanny is just a nanny. Don’t you ever think you can take Mom’s place!"

Theo was shouting like a madman outside the operating room.

"Mira, hang in there! As soon as you come out safe, I’ll marry you right away!"

"Everything we have will go to Zane and Zayn!"

"Don’t leave! I love you! You can’t leave me!"

I thought I saw the shadow of my foster mother.

"Mom, is that you? Did you come to take me with you?"

Mrs. Bellamy heard the noise and rolled her eyes.

"Stupid girl, calling on the dead again. Let’s go. I don’t want her bad luck rubbing off on me."

The nurse increased the rate of blood draw again.

My body started shaking uncontrollably and the warmth drained from my fingers.

Suddenly, the doors to the operating room burst open with a loud bang.

A familiar voice rang in my ears.

"Zara, don’t die! I’ve come to take you home!"
