Chapter 6 - LAURA’S PREGNANCY
Laura had been drugged during a “family wellness procedure” at Margaret’s estate.
An embryo was implanted without her consent.
The biological donor was unknown.
Margaret had prepared two pregnancies at once.
Mine and Laura’s.
One child would continue the research if the other failed.
Laura stopped defending her family after that.
She gave Ortiz access to Ryan’s hidden email.
Messages connected him to Carter Legacy Health, but they also showed confusion.
Ryan believed Margaret wanted cord blood after birth.
He did not know about the underground rooms, prior women, or Laura’s pregnancy.
He still buried me.
Ignorance did not erase choice.
Kevin agreed to cooperate.
He admitted helping dig the pit after Ryan promised him money.
David said he thought it was “a humiliation stunt.”
Neither excuse changed the footage.
Then Ryan requested to speak with me.
I refused.
He sent a written message instead.
ASK THOMAS WHO FATHERED YOUR FIRST CHILD.
I had never given birth before.
At least, I remembered none.
Medical scans showed scarring consistent with an earlier late-term delivery.
A missing year in my records appeared when I was twenty-two.
Thomas looked sick when Ortiz confronted him.
He admitted taking me to a private Carter clinic after I collapsed at college.
I was pregnant.
The father was unknown.
Margaret took control.
Thomas told my adoptive parents I had suffered a breakdown.
The baby was born alive.
A girl.

Her name was Lily.
She would now be seven years old.
