It was Lia's wedding night. But it was not as usual. It turned out that her mother in law hoped that she would conceive a baby on her wedding night. Her mother in law, Lucy had a hurry for having a grandchild. The reason was still unknown to Lia.
But soon she could understand it. She needed her son to get his inheritance and that's why he needed a child. She went in the bedroom and went to Lia. She made her wear her nightie. She got pregnant wearing that nighty and believed that it was the lucky one which would make Lia pregnant too.
The nighty was awful. But she wore it just to get her off her back. It was not of her size and also was not comfortable. Her mother in law also gave her a strip and left. But in the next morning when Lia was testing, she got one line in the strip. This made her mother in law irritated and tensed.
Lia and Dave moved in their new home. They expected to have time of their own. But Lucy also moved in with them in the following day. She wanted to make sure so that her daughter in law wears the nightie. She even threw away all of Lia's lingerie.
This was not all. She didn't stopped at this. She forced-fed Lia only what was good for the future baby. She couldn't have even a cup of coffee just the vegetables she could eat. It was irritating but Lia did. But she still wouldn't get pregnant.
Lia only put up with Lucy for her hubby's sake. She loved him and also she wanted to give him a child. But when Lia told him about his mom's lame trying, he just said his mom knew the best. Lucy often tried to overheard them and she became happy with his loyal son.
One day, Lia went out for shopping. It was maybe about 2 weeks after the wedding. When she came back home, she spotted Dave with another woman. She asked him about it and he just packed his things and kicked her out the same day. He said to her that he didn't want an infertile wife. She also didn't want to live in that hell anymore.
Lia realized that her husband and his mother only needed her for the money. They just wanted a baby from her. They never needed her or her love and they just thought her to be a machine of breeding. But she didn't get pregnant and so Lucy convinced Dave to find another woman.
She found a room for herself and continued her previous job. It was the 2nd day in her new apartment and she had a strip test. Surprisingly she found out that she was expecting a baby. She decided to raise her baby alone and keep it hidden from Dave and Lucy. She thought that they had kicked her out and they didn't deserve to have a baby. After this she never met them.
Months passed and soon the day of delivery came. Lia was on the special room for the new mom. A girl Nicole was with her at her room. She was also about to deliver her child. While waiting for their childbirth, she bragged about how she would soon be loaded with money.
Nicole said that she had met a man and discovered he would become a millionaire after having a baby. She already had a boyfriend and was pregnant from him. She being closed to the rich man and lied to him that it was his baby. The man believed her and she was going to be a millionaire.
Nicole and Lia both gave birth two boys. Just the next hour of the birth, Nicole's rich guy came with a flower bouquet to meet his son. To Lia's utter surprises she saw the rich guy was nothing but her ex-husband Dave! He was super excited to meet the son that was not of him.
After this Lucy also came to visit Nicole. And soon they saw the baby. As soon as they saw it, they could understand that it was not Dave's. They both abandoned the cheater girl and her baby. They completely ignored Nicole's crocodile tears.
They were talking with Nicole and that's when Lucy saw Lia with her little one. Lucy was clever enough to do the math and soon she realized that Lia's boy was her grandson. Lucy begged Lia to come back.
She offered her that they were going to live the high life and welcomed her. She wanted to touch the baby but Lia refused. She didn't want to rejoin their family. She didn't want her son to grow up with a selfish grandma and a father who traded her in for money.
She had closed her door for both of them. Now she had her own inheritance-her son.
As for Lucy she ended up alone and returned to an empty home. She even lost her lucky nightie. Unlike Lia, Nicole never wore it as per Lucy's request. Rather she threw it in the trash.
But one day Lucy saw her nightie. The neighbor's kids had found it and turned it into a scarecrow. Hopefully, one day she will realize her greed scared off everyone. She will realize only love and kindness can make you truly rich.
