His Dad Calls Me Baby
At that exact moment, it hit me—I was never even a side character in this novel. I was just a pitiful nobody, not even worth a name in the story.
In the original plot, I’d loved the wrong guy for six whole years, only to end up betrayed, locked away, and left to die a horrible death in the red-light district.
But now, I’d woken up. I knew how the story was supposed to go, and I was never gonna follow that damned script to my inevitable end.
To escape and get back at everyone who’d hurt me, who’d betrayed me, I set my sights on a man no one dared to mess with—my boyfriend’s adoptive father, Alexander Knight, the famous “Ice Tycoon” of the upper class.
This alpha was cold, ruthless, and known for his unbreakable self-discipline. I’d planned to get close to him, seduce him—even sell my body if I had to—just to get his protection and run from the fate I’d suffered in my past life. But I never could’ve guessed that the second I stepped into his world, everything would start to spiral out of control.
Caught between revenge, desire, and a destiny that was supposed to be set in stone, I had to make a choice: walk away before everything fell apart, or risk it all to take a role that was never meant for me. When fate stopped playing favorites, not everyone could handle losing their spot as the hero.

Chapter: Chapter 189: Give Me One More Dose, BabyOn the other end of the line, Gerald Knight's breathing grew heavy.He didn't immediately cut her off.Lila Bennett knew she had him.The old fox was more paranoid than anyone she had ever met.She struck while the iron was hot, her voice dripping with a calculated, exhausted sincerity."I know you don't trust me. You probably think I'm just stirring the pot, looking for a little payback.""Believe whatever you want.""But I was the one you planted in his shadow. I might have been useless as a spy, but I kept my eyes open.""You know how Alexander moves better than I do.""When he finally decides to strike, he won't leave anything standing.""Not even you."She paused, letting her voice drop into a weary, raspy whisper."That's all I have to say, Sir Gerald.""If you don't believe me, just pretend I had a mental breakdown tonight and ruined your sleep."There was a long, suffocating silence on the other end.

Chapter: Chapter 188: The Family Name Might ChangeLila rolled her eyes. Her mind was a mess of disbelief."Plant seeds of doubt? You want me to drive a wedge between them now?"She thought about what she'd heard in that office. Hours of it.The way that man needed her. Craved her. Like he couldn't breathe without her."System, wake up. Alexander Knight's eyes? His heart? They belong to Lisa White.""Plant doubt? With what? My face? My nonexistent game?""They're a married power couple, buffs stacked to the max. And I'm supposed to walk into that? I'm a bronze player asking to get farmed in a pro match.""Going near them now? What, I don't have enough death wishes? Their slaps not loud enough yet?"The system was quiet for a moment.[Host. Negative emotions hinder mission execution.][Based on current plot trajectory and target's psychological profile, standard romantic approach now has a success rate below 10%.]"Oh. 10%. There's a number."Lila laughed at herself."T

Mission not yet failed. Correction still possible—]"Correction? What's there to correct!"Lila's mind was a scream. She was coming apart."Listen! Just listen! He's in there doing God knows what with another woman!""Alexander Knight? He's basically used goods! His body, his heart—none of it's clean!""Even if I follow the plot and 'win' him back? What's that? A sweet romance?"She imagined it.Years of suffering. Finally, Alexander breaks free from Lisa. Comes to her.Then what?His heart belongs to Lisa. His body's been branded by her.What does that make her?The woman who picks up someone else's leftovers?This wasn't destiny. This wasn't a sweet romance.This was tragedy.Her playing second lead. Watching her man pine for someone else. Forever.

Chapter: Chapter 186: The Divine RemedyMy heart felt as though it had been seized by a violent hand, then suddenly released, sending wave after wave of heat through my chest.It was like a firework show going off inside my skull, leaving nothing but a high pitched, electric hum.Alexander Knight was finally speaking like a real human being.I actually lived to see this day.It was the first time I had ever heard him say he loved me.Not liked. Loved.It was so raw, so stripped of his usual armor, that it made my ears burn and my entire body go weak.This man, who usually hid behind ice and cold logic, had finally shredded his mask of restraint.A flood of bittersweet relief and pure, unadulterated joy crashed over me, making my eyes sting with heat.I opened my mouth to say something, anything, but my throat was tight and dry.I blinked hard, forcing back the tears.I wouldn't let him see me cry, even if my heart was screaming."Oh."I managed to let out th

Chapter: Chapter 185: Just Because I Love YouI stared at his frozen hand. Bubbles of hurt and bitterness rose in my chest.On any other day, I would have melted. Leaned into him. Let him recharge.But today? His need just made the fire inside me burn hotter.My brain knew Lila was full of shit.But that old fear. The one the original plot left behind. It was a hand in the water. Reaching up. Grabbing my ankle.What if the book's power was strong enough to twist even Alexander?What if he held me. Kissed me. And thought of her?I'd been there. Chasing Ethan like a puppet on strings.I wasn't scared of much. But that pull? That mindless, scripted force? That scared me.I'd broken free. I knew how sick it was.I was smart. Rational. But I was also twenty-two.My man? I'd fought for him. Well. We'd found each other.But knowing he could be pulled away by some stupid story? Could I pretend that didn't terrify me?This was my first real love. I'd never been so unsure.

Chapter: Chapter 184: Picking Scraps and Calling It Destiny?I paused.Something was off.This wasn't just jealousy. This girl knew things.I studied Lila carefully.Wrong. Very wrong.The way she spoke wasn't like an NPC following a script. It was like someone who knew how the story ended. Someone sure she would win.A wild thought hit me.Was the original female lead awake too?---"Taken back?"I raised an eyebrow.I stepped closer. My eyes traced her innocent face."What exactly are you, Miss Bennett? Coming to me with that tone.""Pretending to be sweet. Pulling cheap tricks. Yapping at the real wife like a stray dog.""Best case? Delusional. Worst case? Trashy.""You—"Lila shook with anger. Her face went red, then white."Don't pretend. We both know.""You're just a bug. A glitch. A thief who stole someone else's story.""Alexander Knight was supposed to be mine. You took my place. You took my man. Feel g
