Widower Asked Me to Take Her Place

For their first anniversary, Valerie's boyfriend Tristan gives her a twenty-dollar scratch-off card. When she reveals a five-million-dollar jackpot, her best friend Vivian insists the card is fake and that Tristan is testing her loyalty, urging her to dump him. Then a furious voice sounds from inside Valerie's own belly: her reborn unborn child, who remembers a past life in which Valerie listened to Vivian, lost Tristan, and died in misery.

The baby warns that Tristan is the sole heir of the Mercer dynasty of New York, and that passing this test brings a fifty-million-dollar reward and a penthouse. Vivian, who already knows Tristan's true identity, is scheming to take Valerie's place. Valerie must decide whether to trust the friend whispering poison or the child inside her.

She chooses to play along, and Tristan admits his family required a test before bringing her home. But Vivian refuses to give up, and the baby has a grim warning about what she plans next.
