Our Billion-Worth Twins by Velvet Antler

“Congratulations.” The doctor handed the ultrasound scan result to Catelyn. “You’re eight weeks pregnant!” 

Catelyn paled as though she had been struck by lightning. Refusing to accept it, she asked, “Could there be a mistake, Doctor?” 

“The sample of your urine shows that you are positive, and there couldn’t possibly be a mistake,” the doctor answered firmly. “Besides, your insomnia and postponed menstruation couldn’t be faked, could they?” 

Catelyn’s mind went blank, her hands shivering as she grabbed onto the scan result. 

She got pregnant, under the circumstances of her family’s decline and the Mason family’s withdrawal from the arranged marriage. 

It was from that time with Jamie two months ago… It was Jamie’s child. 

The doctor seemed to be used to this sort of situation and reminded her kindly, “If you choose to do an abortion, I suggest that you do so as early as possible. Nonetheless, you’re having twins, which rarely happens, so it’s best to discuss with the father whether to keep them or otherwise.” 

… 

Catelyn did not even remember how she left the hospital. 

Two months ago, her father was involved in a car accident, and the car fell into the river with him in it. Jamie took her that night but did not help the Clark family afterward. 

Instinctively, she knew that Jamie’s response to this would be to have her get an abortion, but she was responsible for two lives. 

Hope, however frail, rose within her as she was reluctant to take away these two lives. 

However, when she arrived on the cruise ship Jamie was on and saw all the beautiful women on deck clinging onto the men, her heart froze. 

“Master Jamie, here comes your fiancé,” one of the men teased inside the private room. 

Jamie shoved the young model in his arms away as his lips curled into a sarcastic sneer. “Catelyn Clark?”
