Nadia slowly opened her heavy eyelids, groggy and disoriented. Her senses were dulled, leaving her feeling both hazy and incredibly lethargic.
As her sight cleared, she noticed that her skin was slick with sweat and her lower region burned like fire. A pulsating sensation also emanated from her bulging belly.
Memories started filtering into her consciousness - memories of forcing herself to please Lucas while standing before Qiang. Everything else blurred afterwards, yet something nagged at her. The thought of Qiang sent her heart racing.
As if awoken by some inner alarm, Nadia struggled to push herself off the ground. However, her gaze fell upon an appalling image: Qiang lay motionless on the floor.
"QIang!"
The chill of the room was oppressive, and the silence was shattered only by Nadia's cry. Her heart raced with fear and dread as she approached Qiang's motionless body.
Gently, she turned him over, and the sight that met her eyes stole the breath from her lungs.
Qiang's face, once so full of life and loyalty, was now still and pale, his final expression twisted with pain and sorrow. The realization hit her like a physical blow - Qiang, her most devoted protector, was gone.
Nadia's fingers tenderly traced his cheeks, now cold to the touch, tracing the trails of dried tears mixed with blood. Updated chapters at novelhall.comories flooded her mind - Qiang, always steadfast and unwavering, who had been her rock during the darkest of times.
He had been more than just a protector; he had been a pillar of strength, a source of unwavering support, especially that night 18 years ago.
Without him, she wouldn't even be here.
How did she not know?
Lucas chuckled as he said, "About that...we will find out when you give birth to my child."
Nadia frowned as she asked, "What nonsense are you saying?"
Lucas smiled, "Do you feel that energy in your stomach? That darkness within you that just seems to grow by the second. While you were passionately swallowing my dick, I filled up your womb with my demonic essence and replaced the one in your unborn baby with it. I wonder how Yiman will react when he sees you give birth to a demon and not his child he is eagerly expecting. No...the reaction of the entire world would be quite interesting."
Nadia's face lost its color as a deep feeling of horror shook her soul while placing her hand on her bulging belly.
Her eyes shook as she felt a chilling darkness pulsing within her stomach, causing her heart to drop in terror.
"You demon! How dare you!" Nadia cried out with killing intent as she tried to get up to cut him down but she forgot her body was too exhausted and could barely move.
"Shhh, don't stress yourself. You are pregnant and you have to be careful with our baby," Lucas said with a look of concern though his smile betrayed the scorn he was feeling.
Nadia's lips shivered, her breath becoming rapid as she muttered, "I will cut this thing out..."
Lucas shook his head as he confidently said, "No, you won't because I know you don't want to die. You have gained too much power to lose it all."
Nadia's fists clenched as she gritted her teeth and asked, "What are you planning to do with me? The moment I give birth to this abomination, we both will die. I will rather kill myself rather than be labeled as a demon breeder!"
