The Substitute Wife's Secret Heir
“On their third wedding anniversary, Elaina waited with an ultrasound report, ready to surprise her husband with the news of their baby. But Eleazar walked in with his long-lost first love and threw a divorce agreement on the table. "My condition has resolved. The terms of our contract are fulfilled." He coldly announced that his psychosomatic illness was cured, and her role as his living treatment plan was finally over. He kicked Elaina out of their master bedroom and falsely accused her of cheating based on a harmless paparazzi photo. When she was bedridden with a severe fever from walking in the freezing rain, he abandoned her to comfort his precious first love, merely sending an assistant to dump Elaina at the hospital. His first love even cornered her at a family gala, mocking Elaina as a pathetic substitute whose shelf life had expired. Elaina was left utterly humiliated and heartbroken, her three years of devotion treated like a transactional joke. But she couldn't understand. If she meant absolutely nothing to him, why did he violently claim her out of sheer jealousy? Why did he sneak into her hospital bed to hold her tightly in his sleep? And why did he furiously destroy the flowers another man brought her? Wiping her tears, Elaina quietly deleted the pregnancy report from her phone. Her despair hardened into cold, unbreakable resolve. She would play the perfect Mrs. Hudson, secure her family's wealth, and protect her secret child. When the time was right, she would take everything and disappear from his life forever.”
