The Ninth Chance: A Wife's Deadly Secret

Life in the Hayes mansion was a glittering facade, but my ninth pregnancy held a secret, a glimmer of hope powered by an unseen System.

I' d lost eight babies, each a piece of my soul, clinging to the promise that this ninth, this final hope, would finally grant my escape from this gilded cage.

Then, a whispered conversation in the dead of night shattered every illusion: my loving husband, Ethan, calmly admitting to engineering eight miscarriages, viewing them as 'necessary accidents' to secure 'our' child's rightful inheritance with his pregnant mistress, Chloe.
