He Let Our Child Called Bastard

The day I went to surprise my blood-bound, Damien, with my pregnancy report, I found out his childhood sweetheart, Lia, was also pregnant. But, with a vampire hunter's child.

To protect her and her child from being killed, he lied to the whole Clan, saying her child is his own pure-blood heir.

Meanwhile, my child who was actually his true heir was labelled as bastard .

He promised me he would clear my name and declare our child his once Lia delivers her child safely.

He left me alone at home and went to different location with Lia to help her deliver her child safely.

However, his family broke through my den and stabbed me in the stomach with the wooden stake the same day he left me for Lia. By the time he returned, it was already too late.

"Congratulations, Mrs. Salvatore, your pregnancy report came positive this time." The Alchemist of our Coven announced while pushing the paternity test toward me.

Tears of joy rolled through my eyes.

Finally, the moment came I was so desperately waiting for. Now, Damien and I could take our Eternal Vow, receive blessings of the Elders and raise our lineage.

Damien and I, had been together for five years yet our blood union was still due. It's because his parents still had not accepted me because of my poor background.

Damien had always been there to comfort me and tell me that his parents will eventually recognise me once I give them the heir to the house, considering I was still a pure blood vampire like them.

Then, he will hold a big ceremony for me, announce me his blood-bound and take eternal vow with me.

Clutching the paternity test in my hands, I rushed to see Damien at his parents' house. However, my legs got frozen before they could step inside as his mother's voice echoed through the hallway.

"Since Lia is pregnant with your child, why tagging that parasite along? Get rid of her quickly!"

"A girl with no estate, no backing. But Lia... she carries the Salvatore name in her womb now. The Elders are already ecstatic. The lineage is secured."

I felt the paper of the paternity test crinkle in my trembling grip. Lia? Damien’s childhood friend? She had been away for months.

"Mom..." Damien pressed her hand softly, "Serene knows no one. If I kick her out, where would she go? I don't want Lia to take anyone's curse. So, let her be in the house for a while."

"Besides, she is as obedient as a servant in the house. Why must you be against her every time?"

Though Damien took my side in front of his mother, however the words he used, ripped my heart.

So, that was what I had been in his eyes. A servant.

"Besides..." He turned to face Lia. Gently wrapping his hands around Lia's belly, he said, "Having more women at home will be good for my baby to be well
