“Look, the little mistress’s water broke! Is she about to give birth?” I heard one of the older ladies ask.
“This is a matter of life and death! Hurry and take her to the hospital!” Another one said.
Olivia shot them a glare that silenced the room.
“Anyone who speaks for her is against me and the Jaxson family!”
Everyone fell silent at the threat.
Olivia smirked at my belly, her lips curling with disdain.
“If you dared to be the mistress, you should have expected this retribution. An illegitimate child born out of secrecy and betrayal doesn’t deserve to live!
“Let her give birth here. I want to see what kind of monster comes out of her!”
The pain in my abdomen intensified, and in my haze, I sensed something slipping away from me.
Then I heard running footsteps and a familiar voice broke through my pain.
“Olivia? Why didn’t you close the door while you were home alone?”
Joshua had finally returned!
