Chapter 1

Billionaire Alex Thorne suffered from infertility.

Desperate for an heir, he kept dozens of women at his estate.

He'd announced that whoever could bear him a child would receive a billion dollars.

A year later, ten of these women gave birth.

But every single one of them was ruthlessly disposed of and buried alive, accused of infidelity.

A month after that, I,went into labor.

But when I saw the baby I'd just delivered, I burst into tears.

At least the women accused of cheating had given birth to human babies.

My child wasn't human at all.

It was five little calico kittens.

The private doctor who delivered the babies fainted on the spot.

Only my housekeeper, Eleanor, stood there, eyes wide, stammering:"Ms. Summers, what—what is going on?”

What was going on? I wanted to know too!

How could a human give birth to cats?!

I fiercely pinched my thigh, desperately wishing this was all a dream.

But it hurt. So much. This wasn't a dream. I was completely doomed.

Recalling the gruesome fate of the previous ten women, I collapsed onto the bed, tears streaming down my face.

A year ago, I and dozens of other women from all over were brought to this luxurious estate.

That day, Alex Thorne announced to everyone: whoever could bear him a child would receive a billion dollars.

And so, every woman on the estate began their quest for a child.

Medications, acupuncture, trying every fertility remedy imaginable and even seeking spiritual guidance…

They tried everything, but no one got pregnant.

Until a month later, Sarah Miller, the most ordinary-looking among us, suddenly announced her pregnancy.

Alex was ecstatic, showering her with daily attention and an endless stream of jewelry and gifts. In the following month, nine more women became pregnant.

I was the last to share a room with Alex.

And it only happened because he was drunk and stumbled into my room by mistake, barely coherent.

I initially thought I had no chance, but to my surprise, I also tested positive for pregnancy the next month.

Just as all the pregnant women were praying for a smooth delivery, Sarah gave birth. It was a boy. Everyone envied her, thinking she was about to claim her billion dollars.

Instead, she was ruthlessly disposed of on the spot, along with her child, and buried alive.

The reason? She had cheated. The child wasn't Alex's at all.

After that, one woman after another gave birth.

And one after another, they were accused of infidelity, ruthlessly disposed of, and buried alive.

I hadn't understood how Alex found out before. Not until I went into labor myself.

Alex, accompanied by doctors and bodyguards, personally stood guard outside my room.

The baby was to undergo a paternity test immediately after birth.

The previous ten women were all dealt with on the spot because their paternity tests failed. Although they had indeed taken the risk of getting pregnant by someone else for money, I hadn't!

Why had I given birth to five cats?!

Right now, Alex, the doctors, and bodyguards were all waiting just outside my room.

What should I do? At least those other women had a paternity test they could fail.

If Alex saw these five fluffy little calico kittens, wouldn't he just wipe us from existence?

Just as I was pacing anxiously, Alex's icy voice came from outside the door: "Why is it so quiet in there?"

Then, Alex rushed towards the room with his people…
