The Unwanted Wife: No Longer His Shield
“Aryanna sat in the freezing rain, watching her billionaire husband of two years gently tuck a stray hair behind his mistress's ear. But the ultimate betrayal didn't come from her marriage. A DNA test suddenly revealed she wasn't the real Garza heiress, but a worthless orphan swapped at birth by a vengeful nurse. Her adoptive parents immediately froze her trust funds and disowned her, ordering her to play the perfect wife just to secure a corporate merger. Stripped of her family and wealth, Aryanna thought her husband might finally show some pity. Instead, she overheard him talking to his friends in a private VIP room. "She is the perfect shield. As long as the media and my family are focused on tearing Aryanna apart, Kaylen stays safe." The truth shattered her completely. She wasn't a wife. She was just a meat shield meant to draw the fire away from his true love. When Aryanna later confronted the mistress, the woman faked a pathetic panic attack. Without a second thought, her husband shoved Aryanna's best friend into a wall and looked at Aryanna with absolute disgust, calling her a vicious monster. Why was she suffering all the abuse while a professional con artist got all his protection and love? The broken, desperate wife died in that hallway. Aryanna swung her arm and slapped his face with every ounce of strength she had left. "The subpoena for the divorce will be on your desk tomorrow morning." She turned her back on the billionaire and walked away. This time, she was done playing the victim.”
