Chapter 3
- Araceli POV
- I was lying on the floor covered with blood and once again felt the sharp pain in my abdomen.
- What was going on?
- I had felt such labor pains just before I gave birth to the twins.
- I touched my abdomen and felt something was wrong.
- Was there still a baby in my womb?
- My eyes snapped open in shock.
- I pushed hard in a hurry. The blood gushed out again.
- A tearing sensation came over me. I felt like I was just about to pass out.
- I bit my bottom lip hard to keep myself awake.
- I knew that if I passed out, this baby would die.
- I bit the tip of my tongue. The blood gushed into my mouth, which cleared my head a little.
- "Waa-waa..."
- A baby's faint cry rang out.
- I braced my upper body hard and looked between my legs.
- Wait... There were two babies!
- It turned out that I was pregnant with four babies.
- That was why my belly had been incredibly large and I had been eating a lot.
- I looked around me and didn't know what to do.
- It was all Melany's plot.
- In order to replace me as Eclipse's heir, Melany plotted to kill me and my babies.
- I looked down at my two babies.
- They were a boy and a girl, and they were covered in blood.
- I swore in my heart that I would protect them with my life.
- I carefully took them into my arms and kissed their cheeks.
- Suddenly...
- I smelled the strong odor of gasoline. An intense heat rushed in through the door.
- I looked up and saw a roaring fire outside the door.
- The fire came in through a crack between the door and its frame and started burning all the furniture in the place.
- "No! It's on fire! Help!"
- I rapped on the door like crazy, screaming.
- No one answered me.
- Melany knew 30% of Eclipse Group's shares belonged to me, and I also got the technical exclusive rights of all the products. As long as I was alive, I would always be the largest shareholder of Eclipse Group.
- Even if she became the heir, she would not get my shares.
- She could only kill me. After I died, she would reasonably get everything that belonged to me.
- The warehouse became extremely hot. I crawled to the corner with two babies in my arms. They cried out in my arms, as if sensing the impending danger.
- "Baby, it's okay. Everything will be fine. Mommy will protect you."
- I cried desperately. I didn't know why, but I felt a surge of power tumbling through my body.
- I opened my eyes and looked up at the window on the roof.
- I started coughing violently. I hurriedly tore off a piece of my already blood-soaked dress and used it to cover my mouth and nose.
- In a panic, I felt my daughter coughing violently. Tears were streaming from her eyes.
- I knew something went wrong. If I couldn't get out of here as soon as possible, my little daughter would die soon.
- The smoke from the fire was so thick and heavy. I knew they couldn't hold on much longer.
- In the emergency, I closed my eyes and felt the power inside me.
- "Araceli, are you calling me?"
- It was as if the surroundings became quiet as death. I heard a voice, and it was resonating with my brain.
- It was my wolf. I knew she was always there.
- After I got pregnant, I felt some connections with her.
- I opened my eyes and stared out that window, my eyes glowing with a golden glare.
- I jumped up, shattered the glass with my body, and leapt out the window.
- Breathing in the fresh air, I felt fresh and comfortable.
- I fled the place. The fire engulfed everything behind me. The window I had just jumped out of had sprung into flames.
- I ran out some distance, lowered my head, and looked at my babies.
- My son was still breathing. Although his brow was furrowed, he seemed fine.
- But my daughter...
- I hurriedly stopped and held my daughter in my arms.
- She looked like she was about to stop breathing.
- Something was wrong with her eyes, but I couldn't tell what was going on right now.
- I felt her faint breathing and could only hold her small body, trying to warm her.
- Suddenly, she coughed violently and waved her hands.
- I knew she was going to die... I broke down and cried in pain.
- "No!!! Please, someone save her... Baby... Please don't die..."
- I shouted, my voice hoarse.
- I hugged my daughter in desperation, tears soaking my fur.
- I felt my body gradually changing back to its original form. I saw my legs become long and fair.
- Suddenly...
- My daughter's body in my arms gradually warmed up. Her heartbeat began to return to normal, and her breathing evened out as well.
- "What's happening? Little girl, I almost thought I was going to lose you..."
- I cried and kissed both of them gently.
- I believed it was a miracle.
- They sucked on their fingers, oblivious to what had just happened.
- I gritted my teeth, looked in the direction I had come from, and left without a second thought.
