I sat in the VIP waiting room of the fertility clinic, clutching the report that confirmed my implantation was a success. After years of struggling, I finally had a reason to make my marriage with Garnett work. But when I went to find him in the lounge, I heard a woman's laughter coming from behind the door. It was his mistress, Alison. I froze as I heard Garnett's cold, dismissive voice. "She's just an incubator." "Once the heir is born, we kick her out. The trust fund only requires a legitimate heir born to my wife. It doesn't require the wife to stick around afterwards." The betrayal went deeper than I could have imagined. I soon discovered the clinic had botched the procedure-the baby I was carrying wasn't even Garnett's. It was donor sperm from Sterling Sharp, the most powerful tech mogul in the world. When my in-laws forced me to move into their estate for "monitoring," I realized I was entering a cage. Garnett and his mistress were paying the family doctor to inject me with hallucinogens to mimic a mental breakdown. They planned to declare me legally incompetent and commit me to an asylum the second I gave birth. I stood in the shadows of the East Wing, realizing my husband wasn't just stealing my child-he was trying to delete my mind. The people I called family were poisoning me daily, waiting for me to break so they could claim a legacy that wasn't even theirs. They wanted a madwoman, so I decided to give them one. I turned the doctor into my double agent, faked every symptom of a breakdown, and began building a secret empire from the shadows. Garnett thinks he's trapped an incubator, but he's actually locked himself in with a nuclear weapon.

Incubator No More: The Billionaire's Secret Heir Chapter 1 1

Florence Boone sat on the velvet sofa in the VIP waiting room, her fingers twisting the leather strap of her Lafayette 148 bag until the circulation cut off. Her knuckles were white, a stark contrast to the deep cognac leather.

The air in the clinic smelled of expensive lavender and sanitized hope. It was a smell designed to mask the desperation that usually permeated fertility clinics, but today, Florence didn't feel desperate.

She felt electric.

Nurse Joy pushed open the heavy oak door. Her smile was practiced, professional, yet it reached her eyes today.

"Congratulations, Mrs. Livingston," Joy said, her voice light and airy. "Implantation was successful."

Florence felt her heart skip a beat, a physical thud against her ribs. The air left her lungs in a rush. She hadn't realized she was holding her breath.

Joy handed her the report. The paper was crisp, heavy. Florence took it, her hands trembling. It felt like holding a bomb and a diamond at the same time.

She looked at the numbers, the medical jargon, but all she saw was a future. A child. A reason to stay in this marriage. A reason to make it work with Garnett.

She reached for her phone, her thumb hovering over Garnett's contact. She wanted to call him. She wanted to hear his voice change from its usual indifference to excitement.

But then she stopped.

No, she thought. I want to see his face.

"Is Garnett still in the car?" Florence asked, standing up. Her legs felt unsteady, like she was walking on a boat.

Joy's smile faltered for a fraction of a second. She glanced toward the hallway. "Mr. Livingston... he went to the VIP Lounge to take a call. Business, I assume."

Florence nodded, clutching the report to her chest. "Thank you, Joy."

She walked out of the waiting room. The carpet in the hallway was thick, swallowing the sound of her heels. It was quiet. Too quiet.

She approached the VIP Lounge at the end of the hall. The door was ajar, just a sliver of darkness cutting through the light of the hallway.

She raised her hand to knock. She was smiling.

"You're terrible, darling."

The voice stopped Florence's hand in mid-air. It was a laugh she knew. Low, throaty, amused.

Alison Yates.

Florence froze. Her blood turned to slush in her veins.

"Stop it, Alison," Garnett's voice replied. It wasn't his business voice. It was soft. Indulgent. A tone he hadn't used with Florence in years.

Florence lowered her hand. She stepped closer to the gap in the door, her heart hammering against her ribs like a trapped bird.

"How much longer do we have to wait?" Alison complained. There was the sound of fabric rustling. "I hate thinking about her carrying our baby. It's gross."

Florence felt a wave of nausea roll through her stomach. She pressed a hand to her mouth to stifle a gasp.

"Don't worry," Garnett said. He chuckled, a cold, dismissive sound. "She's just an incubator."

The word hit Florence like a physical blow.

Incubator.

Not a wife. Not a mother. A vessel. A piece of machinery.

"Once the heir is born," Garnett continued, his voice smooth, "we kick her out. The trust fund only requires a legitimate heir born to my wife. It doesn't require the wife to stick around afterwards."

Florence felt the room spin. She bit down on her lip, hard. She tasted the metallic tang of blood. It was the only thing grounding her.

Through the crack, she saw them. Garnett was sitting on the leather couch, his hand stroking Alison's hair. He looked at his mistress with a look of adoration that Florence had starved for.

Tears pricked her eyes, hot and stinging. But then, a coldness settled over her. It started in her marrow and spread outward, freezing the tears before they could fall.

She looked down at the paper in her hand. Successful Implantation.

She didn't storm in. She didn't scream. Screaming was for people who had hope. Florence had none left.

If she went in there now, she would lose. They would gaslight her. They would destroy her.

She took a breath, shaky and shallow. Then she took a step back. Then another.

She retreated down the hallway, her movements silent, ghostly. She reached the corner and leaned against the cold wall, gasping for air.

She wiped the corner of her eye with a precise, angry motion. She smoothed her dress. She forced the corners of her mouth up into a smile that didn't reach her eyes.

She wasn't going to the car. She turned on her heel and walked toward Dr. Saunders' office.

She needed to know exactly what was inside her.

For eight years, I, Chloe Davis, lived in the shadows, pouring my soul into Liam Stone's music, ghostwriting his hits, and supporting his every dream. I was his secret girlfriend, enduring hidden holidays and hushed dinners, all for the promise that one day, he' d reveal me as the woman he loved. Tonight was supposed to be that night. But as Liam stood on the glittering stage of the Starlight Music Awards, clutching the "Best New Artist" trophy, his eyes scanned the crowd not for me, but for stunning, famous Scarlett Blake. "My inspiration, my muse," he declared, beaming at her. Then, the crushing blow: "Scarlett, darling, once I solidify my A-list status, I' m yours forever." My world went silent. The eight years of sacrifice, my unseen labor, my unwavering devotion-all erased by a public declaration meant for another woman. He celebrated with champagne and victory, completely oblivious to the hollow ache in my chest, the numb limb that was finally acknowledged as dead. He called my quietness a flaw in his perfect evening. He thought a diamond necklace could fix it. He thought his casual affair, texting Scarlett the night of his triumph, would go unnoticed. He still believed there was an "us." I didn't cry. I didn't scream. I just packed. I was no longer the girl who loved him more than herself. That 18-year-old was gone. The 28-year-old Chloe, the one who just sold her entire song catalog, was done being a stepping stone. This was over. He didn't know it yet, but his secret weapon had just become his biggest threat.
