My Cheating Husband and Best Friend Stole My Baby. Now I’m Taking Everything Back After I got pregnant through IVF, Ashley, cared more about my unborn baby than I did. “Cassidy, eat more berries. They’ll give your baby beautiful eyes!” “Cassidy, we don’t want any medication harming the baby. If you’re running a fever, just sweat it out. It’s safer for the little one.” I thought Ashley was just being caring until one day I suddenly heard the fetus in my belly swearing. “You idiot woman, do I really need my mom to remind you about such small things? Is your brain made of jelly?” “Go eat something! If I get hungry, my mom and dad won’t let you off the hook!” A jolt of shock went through me. I was about to tell my husband, Mark, about this bizarre experience, but then I saw him holding Ashley in his arms. ……………….. “Honey, is our baby really safe inside her?” “Don’t worry. I’ll be careful these next few months. Nothing will happen to our child!” Mark’s expression was full of doting affection. “If I weren’t so against you suffering the pains of pregnancy for nine months, I wouldn’t have let her carry our baby!” “The moment the baby is born, I’ll divorce her immediately!” “Then, we’ll live happily ever after as a family of three!” So, that was it. They were only concerned about me because of the baby in my womb. I grabbed my phone and immediately contacted my doctor to schedule an abortion! Let me watch you live happily ever after as a family of three? Not if I have anything to say about it. After the procedure, it was already evening when I returned from the hospital. The moment I walked in, Mark and Ashley rushed over, their faces etched with blame. “Honey, where have you been all day?” Mark asked, his voice tight with accusation rather than worry. “You wouldn’t answer your phone. I was so worried about you!” “Exactly, Cassidy! You’re pregnant! What if something happened to the baby in your belly?” Ashley chimed in. “You can’t do this again!” Their faces showed absolutely no concern for me, only accusation. Worried? They were clearly only worried about the baby in my belly. I must have been blind before, not to have noticed something was off with them. I endured so much pain with the IVF, finally got pregnant, only for all my sacrifices to be for nothing but their gain. It’s a good thing I found out when I did. Otherwise, if the baby had actually been born, I wouldn’t even have a place to cry. “I went to the hospital for my prenatal check-up!” I didn’t expose them, instead speaking with a weary expression. Mark only then remembered it was my check-up day, and his face filled with self-reproach. “Honey, my bad. I completely forgot!” “So, how is it? Is the baby doing okay?” I didn’t expose him, simply shaking my head faintly. “Not so good.” “What’s wrong with the baby?” Their faces immediately changed, and they anxiously grabbed my hand. “They said the baby’s development isn’t ideal.” “The doctor told me to get plenty of rest, take more supplements, and avoid overworking myself. And absolutely no stress!” Mark and Ashley both visibly relaxed. They exchanged a glance before Mark spoke again. “Honey, Ashley and I just discussed something!” Mark continued. “She’ll move in with us from now on. Not only can she keep you company, but she can also help take care of you!” “Move in with us?” My face was full of surprise, but inside, I was overjoyed. I was racking my brain for a way to deal with those two-timing jerks, and now they were practically walking right into my trap! Perhaps surprised by my quick agreement, Mark looked at me suspiciously and asked again. “Cassidy, aren’t you mad?” I slowly shook my head, my tone calm. “What’s there to be mad about?” “You’re usually at work. Having an extra person at home to take care of me will be much easier.”
After saying that, I looked at Ashley. “Ashley, I’ll be troubling you from now on!” Ashley grabbed my hand, her face beaming with excitement. “Cassidy, don’t be silly! We’re friends!” “Don’t worry, I’ll handle everything around the house from now on. You just relax and take care of yourself, make sure the baby is thriving and strong!” “With me here, I’ll make sure you’re perfectly comfortable!” “That’s right, honey. Come on, lie down. Just leave everything to us from now on.” That’s exactly what I was waiting to hear. The moment I sat down, I couldn’t wait to start bossing Ashley around. “Ashley, tomorrow morning I’d love some fresh milk. Could you go to the ranch in the suburbs and get some for me?” The words had barely left my lips when Ashley’s face fell, looking distressed. “Cassidy, the suburbs are over twenty miles from here. It takes forever to drive!” “How about I just get some for you at the supermarket?” Mark quickly nodded in agreement. “Yeah, supermarket milk is the same!” “Honey, let’s just stick with supermarket milk!” I coldly snorted, looking displeased. “How is it the same?” “Supermarket milk is full of additives. Can a baby drink that?” “I’m only saying this for the baby’s good!” “If you two think it’s fine for the baby to drink milk with additives, then don’t bother going for fresh milk!” They had no more arguments. After all, the baby in my belly was theirs. The next morning, Ashley, with dark circles under her eyes, drove to the suburbs to buy milk. When she returned, she complained endlessly to Mark about how exhausting it was. “You have no idea how terrible that road is; it felt like my bones were rattling apart!” “And that ranch stank so bad, cow manure everywhere!” “There’s no way I’m going back there again!” Listening to her complaints from the next room, I put on my headphones and comfortably drifted off for my beauty sleep. Whether she went or not wasn’t up to her! Even if she didn’t want to, for the sake of their baby in my belly, Mark would make her go buy that milk. Can’t handle it already? The real suffering was yet to come. Since I finally had a free housemaid, of course, I was going to treat her like a slave. Besides buying milk, all the housework fell on her. Laundry, sweeping, cooking – she did it all. In just one month, she transformed from a glamorous beauty into someone looking completely run down and aged beyond her years. Finally, a visibly exhausted Ashley approached me. “Cassidy, I’d like to go home and rest for a couple of days!” I frowned, pretending to be annoyed. “Ashley, if you go back, what about me?” “You wouldn’t make me go to the kitchen, breathe in all that cooking fumes, or touch dish soap, would you?” “Those things are terrible for the skin!” My words were like a thorn, stinging Ashley deeply, and she instantly bristled with fury. “Bad for your skin? What about my skin?” “Look at the state I’m in!” She pointed at her somewhat sallow face, yelling, her entire body trembling with rage. If she hadn’t been clenching her teeth, I’m sure she would have physically attacked me. But the angrier she got, the more triumphant I felt inside. “Ashley, didn’t you want to be the baby’s godmother?” “What’s a little hardship now?” “Later, I’ll have the baby take care of you in your old age!” “Oh, the baby just moved! He wants lobster linguine! Could you please go to the kitchen and make some for us?” Ashley completely lost it, yelling at me. “Cassidy! Is that what the baby wants to eat?” “You just want to eat it! You’re deliberately bossing me around!” “I’m done serving you!” However, the moment her words fell, Mark walked in through the door, his face grim.
“What’s all this noise? What if it disturbs our baby?” “Even if it’s what my wife wants to eat, the baby will still absorb the nutrients!” “If you still want to be the godmother, get to the kitchen and start cooking!” Ashley flinched at his shout, tears of frustration immediately welling up in her eyes. But no matter how upset she was, she could only bite her tongue and head to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients. That night, I once again heard Ashley’s breakdown coming from the next bedroom. Perhaps they thought I was asleep, because their voices were completely unrestrained. “Cassidy is going too far! She’s clearly treating me like a servant!” “And not just her, you even helped that bitch yell at me!” Mark, looking troubled, wrapped his arms around Ashley to comfort her. “I want to help you teach her a lesson, too, but the doctor said not to upset her, or it might be bad for the baby!” “What can I do?” Now, the baby in my belly and the doctor’s words were my unbreakable shield. No matter how much resentment they harbored, they could only endure it. Ashley, full of resentment, pushed Mark away. “But she’s really too much!” “I haven’t had a single peaceful night’s sleep this whole time!” “If this keeps up, she’s going to drive me crazy!” Mark sighed helplessly. “Ashley, just bear with it for a little longer!” “I’m already figuring out how to get money from her company. As soon as the baby is born, we’ll be completely free!” “Then you can deal with her however you want!” Ashley’s mood finally improved a little, and she snorted. “How are you going to get the money? Didn’t you say her company doesn’t have much cash?” “It’s simple! She’s already given me full management of the company. Soon, I’ll use the company’s name to take out predatory loans!” “The company is Cassidy’s, so she’ll be the one to face the music!” “Perfect! I’m definitely going to give that bitch what she deserves then!” Listening to their conversation from inside, a faint smile played on my lips. Who would be “giving what they deserve” to whom was still up in the air! What Mark didn’t know was that, thanks to my manipulations during this time, the company had already been transferred to his name. Even the legal representative of the company was now Mark. If they wanted to cause trouble, they were in for a world of pain!
