After being flogged to death for a crime she didn’t commit, Calista received a second chance when a system contracted her. It was simple: complete tasks and she could earn a second chance in life. After completing several of them, the chance to reincarnate in her original world and body was finally granted to her. However, unlike others, she didn’t want revenge against the people who killed her or wanted to unmask what truly transpired back then. All she wanted was to live peacefully and enjoy the bounty benefits which came with the reincarnation. And that was something she found when she met a man she fell in love with in some backward village. Unfortunately, all that was broken when her husband of five years perished at the hands of bandits. Things went downhill when Calista married her second husband, Orson, an amnesiac man whom she scammed into marrying her. But things weren't as simple as they seemed— Orson might be hiding some secrets of his own. Led on a path of revenge that Calista never thought she would be on, she soon realized that Orson might have more to do with her first life and death than he led on. If he knew she was still alive, he might kill her again. That meant that this time, Calista might have to strike first.
"Relax. Take a deep breath and push! The baby is coming. Don't give up!"
Calista's ears were buzzing as she lay on the bed, gritting her teeth as she pushed as much as she could.
If she had known that childbirth was this painful. She might have delayed a bit or watched others and gauged the painful moment she would be going through. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case.
Being in labor and surrounded by these professional midwives who wanted nothing but to see her deliver safely, she also felt that she was lucky. Unfortunately, they couldn't share the pain she was enduring at that moment.
What truly infuriated her was how her spiritual energy was being siphoned from her body by that naughty child who was doing its best to not come out easily.
To her, it wasn't about having the inability to push the child out even after suffering for a while, but the kid seemed to want to suck everything out of her before leaving her body.
