After being reborn as our mother-in-law's children, we embarked on our path of revenge.
Chapter 1
After my best friend and I died, we both simultaneously reincarnated as the unborn fetuses in my mother-in-law Eleanor's womb.
At that moment, the original fetus in her belly had already stopped beating due to a fall.
Just as Mom was heartbroken and about to undergo an induced abortion, my best friend and I quickly intervened.
【No, Mom! If you have an abortion now, you'll just be handing an opportunity to your husband's old flame's daughter!】
【Exactly! Don't you dare go through with it! We're both alive and well in here!】
Mom, who was just about to sign the consent form, froze.
I quickly wiggled inside her belly, revealing a secret only we knew.
【It's me, Mom! Your daughter-in-law! You organized my funeral with your own hands, and secretly sent me so many gifts to take to the afterlife, remember?】
【To come back, we gave away everything we had in the afterlife! We're still racking up spiritual debt for this!】
My best friend and I spoke one after another, terrified Mom would agree to the abortion.
Mom, however, was stunned. She looked down at her belly, forcing a bitter, self-deprecating laugh.
“I must be grief-stricken to the point of hearing things.”
With that, she reached for the pen again.
Panicked, I flipped over in her belly, making sure she felt a distinct kick.
【No, Mom! It really is me! I'm back to help you!】
【Yeah, yeah! If you die now, we'll have to go back to suffering in the afterlife!】
Mom gasped, her mouth open, and whispered.
“Is it really you? Sophia?”
I nodded furiously inside her belly, forgetting she couldn't see me.
My best friend groaned at my clumsiness and quickly chimed in.
【And me, her best friend! You absolutely cannot go through with the abortion now, or you'll just be handing everything over to your husband's first love's daughter on a silver platter!】
Seeing that Mom still didn't understand, my best friend and I began to explain the whole story, back and forth.
My death was orchestrated by Alex, all so he could be with his first love, Jessica. And my best friend... she was just an innocent casualty.
Jessica wasn't just Alex's first love, the one he could never let go of. She was also the daughter of the woman my father-in-law, Richard, was completely obsessed with when he was younger!
Richard and Alex not only knew about this, but they also planned for Mom to never have another child, so they could eventually bring Jessica into the family as their own, as if she were a daughter!
By then, Mom would not only lose her fertility forever, but she'd also be unknowingly raising the child of her husband's old flame!
Mom listened to us, her face paling, and abruptly stood up:
“So, all these years, Richard kept finding excuses to go abroad—it was all to see *that woman*!?”
I clenched my tiny fists, responding furiously.
【Yes! He took Alex with him! They've been scheming against us for ages!】
【Mom, I spent a fortune in the afterlife to get us some serious powers, and I even managed to make us boys! We *have* to make those two despicable men pay for what they did!】
My best friend was seething with indignation.
【Not only that, Mom. You thought you just lost your footing and fell, right? No, they deliberately poured water there, setting a trap for you!】
Mom was absolutely livid, and my best friend and I immediately felt uncomfortable, quickly reassuring her.
【Mom, don't get too angry too fast. You need to steady yourself first. That's how we'll get our revenge.】
After I finished, my best friend suddenly remembered something important and quickly spoke up.
【But before all that, could you please go and say some prayers for me? The afterlife... it's expensive, Mom.】
Hearing us, Mom waved off the nurse and turned to leave.
