The Billionaire’s Last Hope
“I bled for us. Now it’s your turn to bleed.”
From impersonation, she filled the gap of a missing woman. Now she pay the price..................
Emily Vicente never imagined she'd ask herself that question until she saw the news: a $1 million reward for information on Elena Morgan, a missing pregnant woman and the ex-wife of billionaire Kelvin Edwards.
The shocking revelation was that Emily looked exactly like Elena. It was almost as if she had lived a second life without knowing it.
Her boyfriend, Sammy, desperate to escape poverty, sees a fast ticket out and pushes Emily to step into Elena’s life. Pretend to be a pregnant Elena. Collect the money and disappear. Emily, emotionally blackmailed and cornered by her present situation, gives in.
But what she didn’t know was that she wasn’t just stepping into another woman’s life she was stepping into a storm. The lion’s den.
Kelvin Edwards isn’t just a cold billionaire, he’s a desperate father trying to save his terminally ill child. And Elena is the key to that salvation. But now, she’s gone… and Emily has taken her place.
What began as a lie quickly spirals into a web of secrets, danger, and emotional warfare. And just when Emily begins to lose herself in the act Kelvin finds out the truth.
What follows is both heartbreaking and a solution to his problem.
...With the upper hand and nothing to lose, Kelvin gives Emily two choices one that could shatter her completely, and one that would bind her to him forever.
What she thought was a way out... might be the beginning of her undoing.

Chapter: The Begging Of The Lie.Emily’s POVThis was the point where I’d say I had no choice. The only way out now was to become someone I wasn’t. After thinking through everything that had happened, I could only find reasons to agree with Sammy. It might sound crazy, but in a way, he was right.I never really acknowledged all that he had done for me—the effort he put in to make sure I finished high school, the little presents on Christmas, and those late nights he stayed up just to make sure I ate. We’d come a long way together. It had always been us against the world.If this was what I had to do to pay him back or show that I was grateful, then so be it.I looked at myself in the mirror, all dressed up. I was a little surprised by how well the outfit suited me. The dress wasn’t too loose, and the small bump Sammy created could easily fool anyone.What shocked me the most was how prepared Sammy was. After I agreed to go along with his plan, he was so happy—he even lifted me off my feet and almost dropped me becaus

Chapter: Risk and Hope. Kelvin's POV "She's stable now. She fell asleep after the shots. But she keeps asking, sir. I don't know what else to tell her," Nurse Rosie said from the other line. "I know. Just distract her while you can. I’ve put out a search for her mom. Hopefully, she sees it and comes back. Just keep an eye on her till I get back." "Alright, sir." I hung up and sighed, placing my hands on my temples. My thoughts felt heavy. My chest tight, like some unknown force was pressing down on me, adding to my stress. With growing frustration, I loosened my necktie. Every passing moment made me feel more and more hopeless. I couldn’t stop wondering why things had to be this way. Different. It was never about happiness. Neither was it love. I was just hurting, deeply paranoid. All I kept asking was—why? Just why? A framed picture of Lily sat on my desk. Her smile was everything. The sweetest little thing I ever had. And yet, I couldn’t shield her from the very person who was hurting us. Elena. W

Chapter: The First Crack. Emily's pov. I ran to where Sammy lay, fear gripping me, taking in his body before me. “Sammy... Sammy,” I sobbed, dropping to my knees and calling his name softly. I stretched my arms and touched him. “I’m not dead,” he groaned, wincing. He was still conscious. I breathed out, relieved. “Damn. Fucking bastards,” he muttered under his breath, holding his ribs where it hurt the most. “I’m sorry,” I whispered, my eyes scanning his body. He didn’t look good—blood stained his shirt, his nose looked broken, his cheeks bruised and swollen. A nasty black eye was forming fast. He clutched his ribs like they were the source of all his pain. He tried to sit up, struggled, and I moved closer to help, but he ignored my hand. I didn’t think too much of it. I just ran to the fridge to grab an ice bag for the swelling. When I came back, he was already on his feet, one hand gripping the wooden chair beside him for support. He looked... different. Not just hurt—angry. Fractured, even. Like some

Chapter: Uninvited Guests. Emily's POV I frowned at how carefree he was about the whole plan. I knew Sammy had done bad things in his life, but I couldn’t believe he was seriously considering this. We may need money, but my desperation hadn’t gotten to this level. Not yet. So I thought. This was not the right thing to do. So many things could go wrong, and if this missing woman eventually comes out, we will be faced behind bars for impersonation and deception of persons. I was about to say something when the front door was forcefully jerked open from outside. Sammy and I waited impatiently to see who it was. Who could that be? It must be the landlord, I thought. Not long after, my assumption fell wrong. It was a strange, scary man. He looked around his late sixties. He walked in, scanning the whole room as if he felt disgusted coming inside. He stopped as soon as his eyes landed on Sammy, and his expression changed—not in a good way. I looked at Sammy 'cause I had no idea who this man was. Sammy seemed to

Chapter: The Look-Alike.Emily POV.I yanked the piece of paper off the front door. This was the third time this week our landlord had given us a quick notice. The rent was long overdue, and I barely had enough money saved up to clear it. I was sure he was fed up with the excuses I came up with.This week had been tough like many others. After getting laid off from work, the financial load tripled. I was currently job hunting, but still nothing.Sammy, my boyfriend, wasn’t making much from his so-called gambling business. It wasn’t even enough to cover the electricity bills. Some of his jobs were dangerous and always ended in disaster. It was either someone got killed or beaten over money.I was never in support of it.“Anything for the money,”he would tell me.I’d tried to convince him to get a part-time job—at least then I could live without the fear of knowing he was out there and something bad could happen to him. But he hated the idea of working shifts and earning peanuts at the end of the day. Now, he
