The woman my fiancé brought home is holding a paternity report and accusing me of being a false heiress who has taken over her nest. She has taken everything from me, and my parents have kicked me out of the house for the benefits she brought to them. Little did my parents realize that my fiancé and she conspired to take over our family business, and the only one who can protect it is me...

Chapter 1

I returned to my room, my head pounding and my eyes so dry.

The door creaked open, and a well-dressed woman entered. Her face was filled with anger. "Harriet, you've really let me down. You've been under the family's care for so many years, but you throw a tantrum just because Grace used your proposal. Have you ever considered her feelings?"

Tears welled up in my eyes, but I held them back. "Mother, I've given Grace everything she wanted. But you and my father know that I have put great effort into this proposal. How could she possibly become the head of the project department with my proposal?"

Perhaps my mother felt guilty, so she avoided my gaze. She murmured, "Harriet, Grace only used one of your proposals. If you really think about it, everything you have now should have been hers. You need to give way to her. Do you understand?"

I lowered my head and remained silent.

My mother muttered under her breath as she left the room, her voice faintly trailing off. "She's still not truly part of the family after we raised her for so many years..."

Tears fell uncontrollably, and deep despair engulfed me.

I had thought I was the happiest woman. Although my parents were often busy with their business, they were always proud of me.

My fiancé, Victor Simonds, had always cared for me, and we grew up together.

I still remember Victor's vow at our engagement ceremony. "I will love you, trust you, support you, and stay with you forever."

In the end, those vows were just fleeting words.

Their validity lasted only as long as it took him to speak them.

Within just six months, Victor brought another woman home.

Her name was Grace Rowe. But she changed her name to Grace Page with a DNA test in hand.

And I was nothing more than a mistake, the one my parents took back by accident.

My parents were unknown, and I should have grown up in an orphanage. My identity should have been Grace's.

My parents held a formal gathering to announce my true identity and rename Grace.

From then on, I was not the daughter of the Page family but an adopted daughter of the family.

Victor seized the opportunity and broke off our engagement and became Grace's fiancé.

The Truth About His Mistress

The Truth About His Mistress

5.0

I was four months pregnant, a photographer excited for our future, attending a sophisticated baby brunch. Then I saw him, my husband Michael, with another woman, and a newborn introduced as "his son." My world shattered as a torrent of betrayal washed over me, magnified by Michael's dismissive claim I was "just being emotional." His mistress, Serena, taunted me, revealing Michael had discussed my pregnancy complications with her, then slapped me, causing a terrifying cramp. Michael sided with her, publicly shaming me, demanding I leave "their" party, as a society blog already paraded them as a "picture-perfect family." He fully expected me to return, to accept his double life, telling his friends I was "dramatic" but would "always come back." The audacity, the calculated cruelty of his deception, and Serena's chilling malice, fueled a cold, hard rage I barely recognized. How could I have been so blind, so trusting of the man who gaslighted me for months while building a second family? But on the plush carpet of that lawyer's office, as he turned his back on me, a new, unbreakable resolve solidified. They thought I was broken, disposable, easily manipulated – a "reasonable" wife who would accept a sham separation. They had no idea my calm acceptance was not surrender; it was strategy, a quiet promise to dismantle everything he held dear. I would not be handled; I would not understand; I would end this, and make sure their perfect family charade crumbled into dust.
