" Who knew she'd still get pregnant after five years of birth control pills? I was thinking about how to find a way to get rid of her baby and pretend it was a miscarriage. After all, it's her and my child, and I couldn't bear to do it myself for fear she'd hate me."
Liam 's voice was filled with a hint of relief. "It's good this way now. Vanessa hit her with her car and helped me deal with a big problem. It saved me a lot of trouble . Children from big families are usually more knowledgeable . What did the doctor say? Clara uterus is damaged. It will be difficult for you to get pregnant again."
He was silent for a few seconds. Clara could hear him sighing softly, and that breath was like a needle tempered by ice, piercing her heart. "This is good. Clara can't have children in the future, so she won't threaten Vanessa and my son's status. I will keep her by my side and spend my whole life making amends to her . She will be my Kept Woman in peace and stability . I will give her the best life, much better than her village in the city ."
Keep Woman?
