My Belly Is Full Of 999 Heirs

Synopsis

Ethan Sterling said, "Take this check and get out of my life." His voice was frigid and sharp, stabbing into my ears like a needle. On the table between us sat his credit card and a blank check, which signaled the end of his patience. The check, with its promise of infinite wealth, barely even caught my eye. My hand drifted down, tracing the curve of my belly where a strange, frantic fluttering had begun to take root. It was a rhythmic, pulsing sensation, as if a thousand tiny heartbeats were drummed against my palm in a silent greeting. The number 999 flickered through the air like a glitch in reality. Yet it was far too specific for a bank pin. Beneath my touch, the vibration grew clearer, feeling like there were 999 little lives waving hello from inside me.
