Chapter 1
I was just one of Nathaniel Grey’s twelve mistresses. His grandma announced that whoever got pregnant first would become the the formal Mrs. Grey.
In my previous life, I was the first to get knocked up, which drove his favorite girl, Vivienne Reed, to
slit her wrists.
The day I delivered, he dragged me straight from the delivery room to Vivienne’s grave and forced me to bang my head on the ground a hundred times in front of her.
“How could you possibly get pregnant unless you secretly threw up your birth control pills? Vivienne was already trying for a baby then. We would’ve had a child soon–SHE should have been my wife!”
“Stealing her position wasn’t enough for you? You had to drive her to suicide too? I’m sending you to
join her in death now!”
Afterward, he even dug up my entire family’s ashes and fed them to wild dogs in front of Vivienne’s. memorial portrait–all to avenge her.
Knowing I had a blood clotting disorder, he still slashed me dozens of times, watching me bleed out
with my eyes wide open in death.
This life, I secretly switched my pregnancy test cup with Vivienne’s.
Their little love game? Sorry, but I’m out,
‘Madam Grey, Miss Vivienne Reed is one month pregnant,” announced the private doctor during the
nonthly pregnancy check at the Greys.
Nathaniel’s remaining ten mistresses clutched their test results, expressions ranging from
lisappointment to jealousy.
Seriously? Vivienne got pregnant? How unfair!” one whispered.
‘Because she’s the apple of Mr. Grey’s eye, that’s why. The rest of us are just pawns he collected to nake Vivienne jealous after she left him to study abroad. But in all these years, he’s never touched anyone except her. Who else would get pregnant if not her?”

Chapter 1
“But I heard Mr. Grey spent a night in Ruby’s room last month. Ruby comes from money too–their families go way back. The old Mrs. Grey has always wanted her as a daughter–in–law.”
“Hmph. What does her background matter? She’s just a lovesick puppy. Mr. Grey doesn’t care about her–he was just appeasing his grandma. He probably didn’t even touch her.”
When Nathaniel heard the results, he joyfully pulled Vivienne into his arms and said to his grandma:
“Grandma, Vivienne is carrying my child. She’ll be my future wife. Please don’t go back on your word–I want to give her the most magnificent wedding.”
Vivienne touched her belly in delighted surprise, nestling shyly against him.
The tenderness in Nathaniel’s eyes was overwhelming, as if Vivienne were the only person in his
world.
Everyone looked mockingly at me.
After all, I had loved Nathaniel for ten years–loved him enough to abandon my dignity and status just to stay by his side, willingly becoming one of his many kept woman, a tool for his games with Vivienne, the laughingstock of Avalon City.
Mrs. Grey looked stunned, her eyes meeting mine with a flicker of guilt.
Then she frowned: “That’s impossible. There must be a mistake in the test.”
I understood her reaction. She was my grandma’s closest friend. After my parents died in a plane crash and my grandma fell gravely ill, she entrusted Mrs. Grey with my care after liquidating the
company and transferring all the money to my account.
She knew of my feelings for Nathaniel and had always wanted to bring us together. Last month, she even drugged her own grandson and sent him to my room, locking the door behind him.
But even after that intimate encounter, Nathaniel still refused to marry me. I remember clearly
when he threw contraceptives at my face, his eyes full of disgust:
“Ruby, you’re so desperate to make me marry you that you’d drug me? Did you enjoy being fucked
by me? You disgust me.”
“You’re nothing but a childhood friend. Vivienne is the only one in my heart. Be a good girl and take
these pills–don’t make me force you.”

I still remembered watching TV with him when we were young. In the show, the male lead slept
with the female lead but refused to take responsibility, forcing her to take the morning–after pill like
this.
Our health teacher had taught us that emergency contraceptives were harmful to women’s bodies. Back then, Nathaniel had angrily told me: “Ruby, you must protect yourself when you grow up. If any bastard tries to make you take this stuff, tell me and I’ll beat him to death.”
Yet he became that very person forcing me to take pills.
