Chapter 2

There wasn't a single photo of Adrian and me in the bridal chamber. Instead, there were only pictures of Adrian and Sophia from childhood to adulthood.

"Crash!"

Adrian, engrossed in the kiss, found the ornament on the bedside table annoying and swept it to the floor with a wave of his hand.

It shattered into pieces.

My dead heart suddenly twinged.

Even as a ghost, I could still feel pain.

The broken ornament was a custom-made figurine of our baby based on the ultrasound image.

That day, I had excitedly shown it to Adrian, telling him we were going to have a baby, that we would be a happy family of three.

Adrian had looked at the figurine several times then. I thought he would impatiently say I was being silly, but to my surprise, he had nodded and agreed to let me put it on the bedside table.

It was also that day when I thought Adrian and I could reconcile.

"Adrian, my body isn't ready yet..." Sophia panted, grabbing Adrian's large hand.

Adrian's eyes were full of desire. "Sophia, help me." His suggestive gaze fell on Sophia's lips.

Sophia let out a shy cry, playfully punched Adrian's chest, then knelt down and bent over.

As I watched the scene of debauchery, hearing Adrian tell Sophia to rest well so they could have a child together, I seemed to feel the excruciating pain in my belly again.

Adrian really knew his little darlings well.

After the king cobra dragged me into the snake's nest, the other snakes smelled the blood from the wound on my stomach and rushed to crawl into it.

They used their sharp, venomous fangs to bite and tear at my wound. Snakes as thick as chopsticks crawled into the gaping, bloody hole.

I wanted to scream from the pain.

"Help me, snakes are getting into my stomach!" I struggled to extend a hand from the writhing mass of snakes covering my body.

The people outside the glass door panicked, their hands shaking as they reached for the keypad, intending to open the door.

But Sophia's aggrieved voice came at that moment: "Adrian, the hospital you sent her to is the Shen family's private hospital. The lead surgeon's skills are top-notch internationally. He must have stitched her wound perfectly. She's saying this just to provoke your sympathy."

"Besides, it's all because of her greed. If she hadn't become intolerant of my child after getting pregnant herself, viciously killing our unborn baby, you wouldn't have to punish her like this."

"She must be blaming everything on us now. I don't mind if she resents me, but Adrian, you're the most innocent one here."

Sophia held Adrian's hand with a look of concern, moving Adrian even more.

How good his Sophia was. Even though she had lost her child because of that venomous Olivia, she still only thought of him.

In comparison, a woman like Olivia who refused to repent deserved to die!

"Who told you to open the door! Keep it locked!" Adrian scolded the bodyguard who was about to open the door.

The bodyguard trembled and quickly withdrew his hand, not daring to speak.

After reprimanding the bodyguard, Adrian looked at me, who was engulfed by the mass of snakes, with utter disgust.

My broken body was completely hidden by the vines of intertwined snakes. I couldn't struggle free.

"You still dare to play mind games with me even now. I must have been too lenient with you before! This time, you must be taught a lesson! You can come out when you crawl to the door on your knees, begging for forgiveness!"

Just as he finished speaking, the intelligent monitoring system of the Snake Pit issued a warning.

"Alert! Alert! Snake agitation index detected to be abnormally high. All personnel in the pit, please evacuate immediately to the area outside the bulletproof door!"

Adrian's face changed.
