The Auspicious Womb

In my last life, my mother revealed our family secretI had an Auspicious Womb that could cure death. To repay a debt, she married me to Stuart Sheen, a dying heir.
A month later, I was pregnant with triplets. Stuart miraculously recovered. His family rewarded me with wealth, promising our child would be heir.
But during labor, Stuart imprisoned me. He forced our first child back, killing all three. As I bled out, he hissed: "I was never sick! You tore me from Seraphina, driving her to suicide!"
He carved out my womb and dumped me at Seraphinas grave: "Try conceiving a dead mans child. Lets see if your luck revives her."
Dying, I realized wed thanked the wrong person. The Sheens ruined my parentsmy father heartbroken, my mother insane.
Then I woke up, back to the day Eleanor Sheen came for me.

Is it true? Mrs. Sheen asked, her voice a mixture of hope and skepticism. This Auspicious Womb of yours. Is it really so miraculous it can pull a man back from the brink of death?
I smiled calmly. If youre sick, you see a doctor. Trust in science. This whole Auspicious Womb thing is just an old superstition of my mothers. Please, dont take it seriously.
The nature of my body had always been our familys most guarded secret. In my past life, if we hadnt mistaken my saviors identity, I never would have ended up shackled to Stuart Sheen. But instead of gratitude, he had repaid my sacrifice by annihilating my family.
This time, I was eager to see what would become of him without me.
But even with my dismissal, Mrs. Sheen was relentless.
Id rather believe and be wrong than not believe and regret it, she insisted. Theres no downside for you in marrying my son. We have to at least try.
The Sheens were a powerful family. If they wanted something, they had ways of making it happen. I frowned, trying to formulate another excuse, when Stuart himself stormed into the room.
Mother, I will not marry Clara, he declared, his voice tight with anger. The only woman I will ever marry is Seraphina!
Seeing his vehement reaction, I knew instantly. He was reborn, too.
Mrs. Sheen looked troubled. But Stuart, your health
There is nothing wrong with my health! he spat, shoving a folder at her. This is my real medical report. The stomach cancer, the so-called need for a luck-bringing marriageits all a lie fabricated by Clara and her mother to claw their way into our family!
She scanned the document, and the look she gave me turned to ice. Without another word, she ordered the staff to throw me out.
I was disgusted by the scene, but I wanted nothing more to do with them anyway. I turned to leave.
I hadn't taken more than a few steps before Stuarts voice barked from behind me. Stop!
I pretended not to hear him and kept walking.
Clara Monroe, I told you to stop! Are you deaf?
He jogged to catch up, but as he reached me, he doubled over, spewing a shocking amount of blood onto the pavement. His body clearly couldn't handle the strain.
I recoiled in disgust. Is there something you need?
My reaction infuriated him. How dare you? You were always the first one to panic whenever this happened. Why arent you worried now?
I was worried then because I thought he was my husband, the man who had saved my life. But he was neither. He was my family's destroyer. Why would I ever care for him again?
You must be mistaken, Mr. Sheen. We dont know each other. Today is the first
Stop pretending, Clara, he cut me off, his voice dripping with venom. The moment you told my mother the Auspicious Womb was a lie, I knew you were reborn, too!
The charade was over. I met his gaze. And?
Stuart sneered. Dont think you can fool me this time with your lies about cancer and lucky pregnancies. And that whole story about marrying me to repay a debt? Laughable. I never saved you.
His smug, self-satisfied expression was infuriating. But I couldnt be bothered to argue with a dead man walking. I just wanted to set the record straight.
Rest assured, Mr. Sheen. I mistook my savior, and I have no interest in you. I have absolutely no intention of marrying you this time.

His face darkened at my words, but I paid him no mind.
Just then, an ambulance, sirens screaming, sped out from a nearby gated estate. If I remembered correctly, that was the Ford residence. And Eric Ford was my true savior.
In my last life, he died on the day of my wedding to Stuart. A good man like him deserved a better fate. This time, I wouldn't let him die.
My expression shifted, and I started towards the road, intending to follow the ambulance to the hospital.
But Stuart snapped his fingers. A group of his security guards appeared out of nowhere, seized me, and dragged me to one of his private penthouses, locking me inside.
I already told you, Im not marrying you! What is the meaning of this, Stuart? I demanded, my brows knitted in fury.
He smirked. You loved me so much. You took care of me tirelessly, even when you were heavily pregnant. You concocted an entire scheme with your mother about my cancer just to marry me Did you really think Id be foolish enough to believe youd just give up?
I fought the urge to scream at him. It wasnt just my mother who said you had cancer. And you know better than anyone how sick you feel. My intention was to state that we hadnt lied, but my words only enraged him further.
Shut up! Before Seraphina died last time, she told me everything! You and your mother bribed the specialists who diagnosed me. The only reason I was coughing up blood was because of the drugs your mother prescribed!
So that was it. That was why he had been so monstrous. But I had no quarrel with Seraphina. I didnt understand why she would frame us like that.
I was shaking with rage. My mother and I never did any of those things! I
Still lying! Seraphina is waiting for me. I dont have time to waste on you. Our wedding is in five days. Youll stay here until its over. Once its done, Ill let you go.
With that, a sickeningly sweet smile on his face, he left.
I tried to run after him, but the guards pinned me to the floor. I could only watch as the heavy door slammed shut in my face.
I cursed his entire ancestry before pulling out my phone and calling the police.
He returned later, his arm wrapped around Seraphina, his face a thundercloud. Since no real harm had been done, the police merely mediated and left.
Once they were gone, Stuarts voice was a low growl. You dared to call the cops. Youve gotten bold.
I shot him a cold glare. Should I have just stayed locked up for five days and starved?
He blurted out, Its not like it hasnt happened before. You wouldnt have died!
He wasnt wrong. In our last life, Id angered him once, and hed locked me away for five days. Worried about his companys upcoming IPO, I didn't want to cause trouble for him. I survived by eating tissues and drinking water from a flower vase.
But he had already killed me once. I knew who my real savior was now. I would never be that foolish again.
Mr. Sheen, marry Ms. Seraphina if you wish. It has nothing to do with me. Theres no need to lock me up.
He didnt believe me. Dont try to fool me. You only escaped because you want to ruin my wedding. In your dreams!
Convinced I was going to sabotage him, he called the Chief of Medicine at my hospital and had both me and my mother fired, citing medical fraud. He then targeted my fathers small trading company, driving it to the brink of bankruptcy.
To top it all off, the story of my attempt to marry into a wealthy family was leaked to the tabloids.
Everywhere I went, I was met with jeers and whispers.
Thats her, Clara Monroe. She and her mother are both corrupt doctors. They faked a mans medical records just to social-climb.
Can you believe it? In this day and age, pulling a stunt like that. Its pathetic.
Stuart Sheen is the CEO of a major corporation. He and the heiress Seraphina are a perfect match. Who does this Clara think she is?
Trying to be a homewrecker. So shameless. Thank god Mr. Sheen saw right through her.
The scorn was relentless. People shoved me in the street, threw trash at me.
And through it all, Stuart would be sitting in his car nearby, watching.
He called me. This is just a little lesson. If you ever think about crossing me again, Ill make your entire family wish they were dead.

Even now, he still couldnt accept that I didnt want to marry him, that I didnt love him.
I hung up. I hoped hed be just as arrogant and confident on the day he died.
At home, my father sighed endlessly. My mother had cried until her eyes were swollen shut. We were just trying to repay a kindness. How did it come to this?
Because Stuart Sheen was never my savior, I told them, finally revealing the truth. His mother found out about our familys secret and deliberately deceived you. My real savior is Eric Ford!
It took time, but I managed to comfort my parents and finally got in touch with the Ford family.
Mrs. Ford, a devout woman, believed in signs and wonders, and she readily agreed to the arrangement. She held my hand, her grip firm and reassuring. Whether this works or not, the Ford family will be indebted to you. If something happens to Eric, you are welcome to remain as the lady of the house. If you wish to remarry, we will ensure you are handsomely provided for.
I didnt care about any of that. I just wanted to repay my debt.
But Mrs. Ford immediately transferred thirty million dollars into my account and arranged for her people to salvage my fathers company.
I wanted to get married the next day, to help Eric as soon as possible, but she refused. Asking you to marry a dying man is already a great injustice. We will not compromise on the wedding. Give us two days to prepare.
This meant our wedding would fall on the same day as Stuart and Seraphinas.
I didnt mind, but when Stuart found out, he stormed over to confront me.
Who gave you permission to marry someone else? he demanded, his face a mask of fury.
If I marry him to save him, he destroys my family. If I marry someone else, hes still not satisfied. Was he insane?
I rolled my eyes. Ill marry whomever I please. What does it have to do with you?
Stuart tilted his chin up, his arrogance on full display. Dont pretend. As if youd ever marry a dying man like Eric Ford. This is just a game to make me jealous.
I felt sick to my stomach. Im marrying Eric to save his life. It has nothing to do with you.
Still spinning that ridiculous story? Clara, playing hard to get is one thing, but this is just pathetic. He grabbed my hand, forced a key into my palm, and had the audacity to trail his finger across my skin. This is the key to my riverside villa. You can live there. Ill spend the first half of my wedding night with Seraphina, and the second half with you.
I laughed, a sharp, bitter sound. You want me to be your mistress?
His eyes darkened. Seraphina is the only one I love. Letting you be my mistress is a privilege. Dont be ungrateful.
He got into his car and sped off.
My face was a stony mask as I threw the key into the nearest gutter.
That bastard. I couldnt wait to watch him die on his wedding day.
And I didnt have to wait long.
On the day of the weddings, our two motorcades crossed paths. The moment Stuart saw me, his expression soured.
Clara, I already allowed you to be my mistress, and you still have the nerve to disrupt my wedding You truly are shameless!
Of all the rotten luck, running into this creep on my wedding day.
I frowned. Are you blind? Im in the Fords wedding car. No one is trying to ruin your wedding.
He roared, Dont think you can fool me! Eric Ford is really sick, and your Auspicious Womb is a lie. Youd never marry a dead man. This is just a ploy to switch places with Seraphina andpfft!
Before he could finish his tirade, he spewed a massive mouthful of blood.
He clearly hadn't expected it. He stared at me in disbelief.
But I just smiled, a cold, sharp smile, as I watched him stagger and fall to the ground.
