Alice
I held the baby with caution, my body stiff, while my mind raced with thoughts. Whose baby was this, and where on earth had Conrad gotten him from? This child was on the verge of destroying everything that I've been slowly working hard on, and every nerve in my body urged me to get rid of him.
Conrad still hadn't suspected anything about me, and I had made things worse for him by making myself infertile each time we had intercourse. He had tried countless times, but it wasn't working. While I was here working on him, my sisters remained outside, spreading rumors on how Conrad was cursed and couldn't have an heir. However, now that this baby was here, all that work had been for naught.
