Seven Children, One Family

"Mrs. Taylor, you're pregnant for eight weeks. From the ultrasound, it looks like there's more than one baby in your belly. But we'll have to wait another two weeks to make sure."

The doctor's words exploded in Gabrielle Zane's head like a lit firecracker!

She was still in shock when she walked out of the office with the ultrasound sheet.

She was two months pregnant with twins?

How surprising it was!

This was the most beautiful gift God had ever granted her!

She wondered if Ben Taylor would be as happy as she was to hear the news?

They had been married for two years. Although neither of them had used contraceptives, she hadn't conceived. It was unexpected that she got pregnant when they were about to divorce.

So they did not have to divorce?

It seemed that God was still treating her well.

Gabrielle was staring at the ultrasound sheet with a joyful expression when she suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Ben, the doctor just told me to be careful in the early stages of pregnancy, so don't worry. I will definitely deliver a healthy baby to the Taylor Family."

At the woman's soft voice, Gabrielle intuitively looked over.

A tall handsome man and a woman in a white dress walked side by side in the hallway.

The man's thin lips were set in a serious line, and the pretty woman with bright eyes and teeth was looking at him affectionately.

"Ben? Joyce?" Gabrielle's astonished gaze fell on the ultrasound sheet in the woman's hand, and her face turned pale, "You... Ben, we have not divorced yet! I cannot believe that you can't even wait for that moment!"

Joyce Smith, Ben's ex-girlfriend, dumped Ben for no reason two years ago. His family forced the latter to engage in a flash marriage.

The wife in the marriage was Gabrielle.

Gabrielle was keenly aware that she and Ben were not a real couple. But she always thought that as long as they had a child, their marriage would last.

However, reality slapped her in the face.

Joyce came back with a child of Ben... And what about the baby in her belly now?

"Gabrielle?" After a glance at the list in Gabrielle's hand, Ben's bright eyes went dark, "You're pregnant?"

"Does it matter? Your mistress also has your baby anyway!" Gabrielle clenched her lower lip, trying not to lose her temper. But the sight of intimacy between the two made her angry. "Ben! I agree with our divorce! Immediately!"

After she exclaimed, her breathing almost stopped, her hands clenching the ultrasound sheet.

How happy she was about the news in the first place and how heartbroken she felt now as if her heart was being torn.

"Gabrielle!" Ben's eyes flashed with a trace of anger, "It's you who agreed at first, now you regret? What do you think I am! Divorce? Don't even think about it!"

His words confused Gabrielle. It was him who repeatedly reminded her that their marriage would only last for two years, no matter what. Did he change his mind? Did he have a few feelings for her?

At the thought of this, her heart fluttered with a touch of excitement.

But seeing the woman nestling against him dispelled the hint of excitement in her heart.

"Ben," Gabrielle took a light breath and said without emotions, "Since you have cheated on me, what makes you think I should continue to put up with you? Who gives you the qualification?"

Ben gritted his teeth, "Gabrielle!"

"What's going on? Why is there such a big crowd here?"

"It seems the wife and the home-wrecker are both pregnant and are arguing with each other!"

"How can home-wreckers nowadays be so shameless?"

The scene that a wife fight with a mistress was always eye-catching.

Joyce, who had kept silent all the time, turned pale and pulled Ben's sleeve slightly, sobbing, "Ben, I'll go first..."

After glancing at Ben and the ultrasound sheet in Gabrielle's hand, she ran away with her face covered and a vague look in her eyes.

"Joyce!" Ben looked with indecision at Gabrielle and then at Joyce, who suddenly stumbled as she ran. Ben's eyes sank, "Gabrielle, I'll have my assistant take you home. Wait for me."

After saying that, he ran out after Joyce without giving her a chance to speak.

When the man turned around, Gabrielle's heart throbbed violently, like being torn apart again, tears trickling down her cheeks involuntarily.

There was a moment she thought that he loved her when he refused to divorce, but his actions now undoubtedly made her feel like being ruthlessly stabbed by a sharp blade once again.

The night was misty.

Gabrielle dismissed Ben's assistant and wandered for quite a few hours before returning to her apartment.

The apartment was a gift from her parents when she was eighteen. The house was still standing, but her parents had passed away in a car accident two years ago.

She had no family now except Ben.

The less she held, the more desirous she was to keep everything she had, but their marriage was like the time slipping through her fingers, which was impossible to retain, no matter how hard she tried.

Even Ben had betrayed her.

"I have nothing left..." Walking in the dark pathway, she seemed overwhelmed with loneliness, with tears welling up in her eyes.

After a thought flashed across her mind, Gabrielle sniffled and touched her stomach with a gentle smile around the corners of her mouth, "Although I'm all by myself, I still have my baby."

Even if she divorced Ben, she still had the baby to accompany her.

As she was reassuring herself, she felt a sharp soreness in her neck and lost consciousness...

When she woke up, Gabriel felt as if she was in a glacier at 30 degrees below zero, cold as hell.

After shaking her eyelids to open her eyes, she found her hands and feet tied and half of her body floating on the black sea while gusts of wind sent shivers through her.

There was a speedboat parked on the sea at the side.

"Uh-uh-uh..." Gabrielle tried to shout for help in panic but found her mouth was gagged!

This was murder!

A sense of fear struck Gabrielle, but the thought of her baby in the belly encouraged her not to give up.

Suddenly, the rope in her hand was cut off, and her body sank quickly.

"Ugh..."

Before having time to react, Gabrielle was totally beneath the surface. As her breathing became difficult, she desperately tried to get above the surface but soon sank again ...

A familiar voice suddenly sounded overhead.

"Sir, I have done what you asked me to do."

The voice shocked Gabrielle.

She knew who it was! It was Ben's assistant! So who else could it be but Ben he was talking to?

It turned out that the reason why Ben told her to wait for him at home was just a makeshift to calm her down. As his mistress was pregnant, he could not wait to dispose of her.

She knew he had not ever loved her, but she never expected that he would be so cruel as to kill her!

He knew that she was carrying his child in her belly! It was said that even a person as villainous as a snake would not harm his children, but Ben was worse than that! What a cold-blooded, heartless devil!

Gabrielle's heart seemed to be as painful as being pierced with a thousand holes.

She continually sank in the water with the air in her lung reducing and her consciousness fading... The sense of choking and terror swamped her.

Her babies, her poor babies... They even did not have the chance to come out of her belly and have a glimpse of the world.

Gabrielle was so resentful that she had made up her mind: If she survived, she would avenge the people who attempted to kill her and her baby.
