Love Game With The Rebel Billionaire

Chapter 108: Only One Choice

Five years ago...

"They're twins!" Evangeline exclaimed excitedly, her gaze shifting from me to my noticeably large belly. "I'm so happy! No wonder your belly is this big-it's because there are two of them!" she added, clapping her hands and bouncing slightly like a child.

I didn't know pregnancy could be such a headache. With all the pain I was experiencing-aching body, saggy breasts, constant headaches, stomachaches, and sudden mood swings-I didn't even know where to focus my attention. But despite all this, it was worth it because my child... or rather, my children, are alive.

Evangeline took care of me at her house. She's hiding me for the time being. After my operation, she and Mason immediately brought me here, keeping everything under wraps.

No one knew I was pregnant. Evangeline managed to silence the doctor who found out at the hospital. I don't know how she did it, and I didn't ask.

"Jeez, I can't wait to see a mini-Ash!" she squealed, her grin never fading.

For a moment, it seemed like she had forgotten that Ash was the reason I was in this mess.

He shot me, knowing full well it wasn't just my life at stake.

"Stop it, Evangeline," I snapped, glaring at her. "This isn't something to celebrate."

I closed my eyes and draped an arm over my face.

My life was ruined the day everything fell apart, but the lives inside me were just beginning. I'll do everything to protect them, even if it means dirtying my own hands. "Thank you, doc." Evangeline ignored me and turned to the female doctor.

She pulled out an envelope from her Gucci bag-thick with cash, enough to almost tear it open.

The doctor nodded, smiling as she took the envelope and slid it into her bag.
