My husband died during my pregnancy, in the bed of his mistress. Everyone said I was lucky, that I had become a billionaire at such a young age. But then my mother-in-law showed up at my door with the pregnant mistress, demanding a share of the fortune. Everyone called me a "widow who kills her husband," a bad omen. My mother-in-law pointed at my nose and screamed, "If it weren't for you being pregnant, my son wouldn't have sought comfort elsewhere!" "Hand over the money of the Harper family, or I'll make you regret it!" I gently rubbed my pregnant belly, smiling calmly. "The family fortune? Not a penny of it will leave this house." At the funeral, I arrived holding the arm of a man younger, handsomer, and wealthier than my late husband. In the shocked gaze of my mother-in-law, I introduced him with a smile, "This is the real father of the baby in my belly. My new husband."
