After Dying Twice, I Refuse to Birth His Heir AgainChapter 1

To rise from being just a mistress to becoming the official wife of the Grant family, I spent five years fighting Samuel's so-called 'beloved' from the northern countryside.

Evelyn Grant, Samuel's grandmother, once declared that whoever became pregnant first would become Samuel's wife.

That very night, Samuel, drugged and delirious, stumbled into my room.

I was in my fertile window, so I got pregnant pretty easily.

After we married, he spoiled me endlessly and personally oversaw my entire pregnancy.

Everyone said I was blessed.

But on the day my water broke, he tied me down and cut my stomach open with his own hands, leaving me to bleed out.

"If you hadn't slipped me the antidote," he said, sounding almost irritated rather than enraged, "how else was I supposed to return to the woman I actually love?"

He didn't even look at me as he spoke.

His attention was entirely on the crying infant he'd torn from my body. "Now that the heir is born," he added, voice turning cold and final, "I'll raise him with her. You can die now."

In my second life, I shoved that equally fertile 'first love' straight into his room.
