Instead of answering my question, she just smirked evilly and said, "I heard you are pregnant, Samantha. I really underestimated you! How come you still can get pregnant, even though I had given you birth control pills for three years?"

"What did you just say?" I shrieked

"Hah! I told Shane that I didn't want you to have his child. He had agreed with my demand so he fed you with birth control pills every day. You know, the one you thought of as a vitamin? What an idiot!"

I had always thought my body was just too weak to conceive. I never imagined this was the reason.

Seeing my shock, she looked even more pleased with herself then continued, "You and your pathetic mother are the same. You're both clinging to men who don’t love you. No wonder she was driven to death!"

"Clara! I’ll kill you!"

Rage burst from my chest as I lunged toward her, but before I could reach her, a sudden force shoved me backward. My stomach hit the edge of the bed and a sharp pain shot through me.

When I looked up and came to my senses, I saw Clara trembling and hiding in Shane’s arms like a poor little puppy.
