Surviving in Woman's world as a novel villain.

Chapter 280 278. Old Wounds

In the ward, All eyes locked on the Alex when he said this thing.

Gloria, who was pretending to be asleep, wanted to wake up and say she was healthy and can do it once again, When Alex talked about doing it with her.

But then he said he would do it with both their mother and daughter together. It was when she came to her senses and realized what she was trying to do.

Alex is and alway be the man Grace has in her heart and after tasting the forbidden taste of her future son-in-law, She can't even blame her.

It's just Grace might tolerate any other woman in this world to be Alex seeing he has a condition in which he needs to have sex to survive.

Her daughter might even ignore and forget the fact that he slept with her on this same bed just a while ago.

But she is damn sure Grace can share a bed with any other woman other than she, her mother.

After all, How could she? She is her mother, It's one thing to have laid with her man but it's another thing to ask Grace to be there.

Even Gloria herself thinks this idea of his absurd. If he said he wants her to share with another woman, She might hesitate at first but can give in.

But It's not only weird but outright taboo what Alex said he wanted do.

Grace would never be willing to do this, Nor she thinks she would though there are forbidden thoughts of thinking just what if but it was just a muddle headed fantasy nothing else.

"Really?!!"

But to Glorias utter surprise Grace jumped up in surprise and asked Alex in excitement.

Gloria couldn't see her face of Grace but her being the mother of her knows what kinda f

expressions she would have on the face.

She can bet from the voice of it. She would have wide eyes along with that full heartfelt smile on her plump lips.

'Why is she so excited? Did…Did she really wanted this to happen? But why?'

Gloria right now hunted by the questions as she tried to figure out the reason behind this action of hers but couldn't get any answers.

It's taboo for the world, It's for society and it is for any man in this world.

Though she herself didn't follow the world routine nor was bound by the rules and their morals.

But she knows first hand how hard it is to go against them.

Every time she remembers her past it sends shivers in her body.

It started when she was born and to her misfortune she inherited the purest bloodline in the generation directly earning her the position of future heir of the family.

Yeah misfortune as because only one person can inherit in the generation, She was a precious treasure of the family.

Turning her from a living breathing huwoman into the priceless assets of the family.

There was no free will remaining for her, All decisions were made by family for her, Including but not limited to what she can eat, wear, go, behave and even how to breathe.

She was in constant surveillance from her childhood to adulthood, There was not one fond memory she had of that time.

Though there were also not any bad memories but that's all because it was all pre decided for her.

No one treated her badly as she was a future heir but she was never treated as an huwoman but a thing that the family owned.

When she took over the head of family title, She really thought she would get some freedom but there was none.

At that time she was just about to step into the S-Rank being one of the fastest people who stepped into S-Rank.

It was then the family asked for the new generation, As a head with purest bloodline there was a higher chance that the offspring of her also receive that blessing.

It happened before, Gloria herself was the daughter of the previous head of the family, so the family pretty much forced her to marry the young man with also quite pure bloodline of the other family with the same status as them.

That is because the chance of a child inheriting bloodline increases exceptionally if parents have a two different bloodline then if they have the same.

It also does it as a precautionary measure to prevent inbreeding.

She didn't wanna marry as not to mention there was no love in between them but even the name of the other party was known to her after marriage was fixed.

She tried to resist but elders quickly put down any attempts of her resistance, Even her birth giver threatened to disown her if she refused.

And then they got married and thankfully from just one disgusting act on their wedding night she got pregnant.

Everyone celebrated, That man stone cold though not that excited was still looking forward to see what bloodline the child would receive.

It's just an anomaly happen, When she was given birth the shackles of the ranks suddenly broke, directly promoting her from A-Rank to the S-Rank.

Other than to be happy she was horrified as she was in the middle of giving birth and this breakthrough appeared out of nowhere.

Just as she was promoted to the S-Rank, Her body greedily started to absorb all spiritual powers in the surrounding trying to consolidate her rank.

Because no one was prepared for this unexpected event, The necessary treasures were not present there to fulfill the demand of her body which was going crazy.

It was then it happen, Wild flames arose from her body burning everyone who was in her surrounding helping her to give birth.

These people from both of their families also had the bloodline but it was quite impure, But it did not matter for her body, It quickly started to absorb their remaining essence trying to fulfill the power needs of her.

In just a matter of seconds the spiritual powers in the surrounding depleted, There was nothing remaining in room.

Then to her horror, Her body started to absorb the essence of her unborn baby that was trying to step into this world.

She tried, She tried her best to stop it but she had no control over her body's instinct to fulfill the void created by her breakthrough.

Her body was greedily swallowing the essence of her unborn child. If she didn't do anything, Her child would have died.

She knew that if she didn't do anything, Her child would not survive. She took drastic measures and directly shattered her spiritual core.

Spiritual core, the weakest point of any awakened warrior and the place that stores all their stored spiritual energy.

Even if that core gets damaged, awakened warriors have a high possibility of falling in the realm if not worse would be forever locked in the same realm.

Here she shattered her core, the best outcome of it would be that she lose her cultivation and became cripple unable to cultivate anymore.

Worse of course would be a painful death like each part of her tore slowly by slowly.

But she didn't stop to think of what if and just did it.

And it worked, The moment her core shattered everything in and including the building she blew up in an inferno like gas cylinder blast.

The only thing that was unhurt by that was she and the bed she was in.

Though weak, She still had little strength to give birth to her baby girl, Who she named Grace.

Grace was a healthy baby even after all that happened it was just there was an issue, After all her essence was still pulled out of that little life.

Grace didn't have any bloodline, It's not like she had impure or even light one she didn't have even a tiny speck of traits of any bloodline.

She was nothing but an normal mortal huwoman, On top of that she was also was an natural waste meaning she can never cultivate nor able to never able to awaken any superpower.

She still loved her daughter and felt guilty as she was responsible for the state of her child.

She had only one duty to bring her safely in this world as her mother and yet she failed miserably in that small thing.

It's just that it was not the norm in the family. That so called husband of hers refused to even see Grace the moment he found out she was a waste.

Though hurt she didn't care as he was just a stranger living with her in her eyes, She was the head of the family and she was able to take care of her child.

But it changed quickly. While she was still recovering from her injuries, She found out their elders decided to kill the child, saying the existence of that baby is a shame to the family.

They couldn't accept a waste person related to them by blood, So it was the majority decision to kill Grace, Even though 30% of the family was against it.

But when she find that out, She knows she had to leave, and that is exactly what she did. She ignored her injuries and consequences of doing so.

Then grab her baby and run away from the family. She didn't have any other option of doing so.

She at that time was just a normal mortal, Her powerbase was destroyed, There was no way she was able to fight it off.

Her family also let them go because she ignored her injuries. It left dark wounds and hidden injuries also making her waste.

She lost value in the eyes of family, As she couldn't provide a new generation Phoenix to them.

So she and her daughter have been living life this way all this time, Her and her daughter only two are for themselves.

"Yes, Really."

Alex confirmed with Grace pulling Gloria out of her memories.
