Chapter 71

"What no sisterly hug" She taunts while I try to bear the pain. Coughing and sputtering, my blood spatters on the floor. I clutch the bangle from my wrist before tossing it in the fire with the last bit of strength I have left before collapsing. I look up at her, a devilish grin on her face.

"Now why would you do that? I was hoping to enjoy myself now I have to make things quick."

"What do you mean?" I choke out, coughing on more of my blood. I try to turn my head and let the blood drain out of my mouth.

"Well, since you are dying, such a shame. I figured the baby will need a mother, and since that can t be you, why not Aunt Bianca? Though mum I feel has a better ring to it," she said her manicured finger, tapping her chin in thought.

My blood runs cold at her words. She wants my baby. And I knew there was nothing I could do to stop her. I couldn t even stand, let alone fight her.
