(Mrs. Chen POV - First Time)

I stood in the empty kitchen, wiping down the marble counters where Sarah's blood had pooled just hours before. The house was finally quiet. Tony had rushed to the hospital, Alex had disappeared into the night, and Elena was nowhere to be found. For the first time in months, I was alone with my thoughts and my secrets.

My daughter Jenny had called from the hospital twenty minutes ago. Sarah's baby had been born safely, and the trap had been set. Everything was moving according to plan, my plan, not Elena's, though she believed herself to be the mastermind.

I allowed myself a small smile as I folded the bloodstained towels. Poor Elena. She thought she had been so clever, manipulating everyone around her. She had no idea that every move she made, every scheme she hatched, had been carefully guided by me.

The truth was, I had been watching this family for far longer than anyone realized. Not as a housekeeper. Not as a servant. But as a guardian, waiti

  • From Housewife To His Worst Ex-Wife    The Inheritor's Burden

    (Anna POV) I stepped into the house that had once been my childhood home, my heart pounding with a mixture of anticipation and dread. The scars on my arms burned under my sleeves, a phantom pain that always intensified when I was stressed. Something felt different tonight, the air itself seemed charged with secrets waiting to be revealed. "Your grandmother has been waiting to meet you." Mrs. Chen's words echoed in my mind as I looked at her standing in the hallway. Grandmother? I had always believed my grandparents were dead, that I was truly alone in the world except for Tony's family. "I don't understand," I said slowly, studying the woman who had been quietly cleaning Tony's house for years. She looked different now—straighter, more confident, like she had shed a disguise I never realized she was wearing. "My name isn't Chen," she said gently. "It's Margaret Collins. And you, my dear Anna, are my son's daughter." Elena stepped out from behind her, her face pale and draw

  • From Housewife To His Worst Ex-Wife    The Choice

    Sarah Pov The pain hit me like a sledgehammer to the gut.I doubled over in Tony's kitchen, my hands clutching my swollen belly as liquid gushed down my legs. No, no, no, this was too early. I was only seven months along. This couldn't be happening. Not now. Not when everything was falling apart around me."Sarah!" Elena's voice cut through my panic, but I barely heard her over the roaring in my ears. The cramping intensified, and I felt like my body was being torn in half."The baby," I gasped, stumbling backward until I hit the marble counter. "Something's wrong with the baby."Elena rushed toward me, her face pale with shock. For a moment, she looked genuinely concerned, but I knew better. This was all part of her game, wasn't it? She'd probably poisoned me somehow. That psychotic bitch had orchestrated everything else, why not this too?Another contraction ripped through me, stronger than the last. I screamed, the sound echoing off the kitchen walls. Blood mixed with the amniotic

  • From Housewife To His Worst Ex-Wife    Father's Sin

    (Tony POV)I stumbled into my study with shaking hands, my mind reeling from everything that had just happened downstairs. Anna was alive. Elena was her sister. Alex was Anna's father. Nothing I'd believed about my family was true.But there was one more secret left to uncover, and it was calling to me from across the room.My father's safe sat behind his oil painting of the lighthouse, just as it had for twenty years since his death. I'd never opened it, never felt the need to dig through his personal papers. But now, with my world crumbling around me, I needed answers that only he could provide.My fingers trembled as I entered the combination - Anna's birthday, the one number I'd never forget no matter how much pain it brought me. The safe clicked open with a soft hiss.Inside were stacks of legal documents, bank records, and a leather journal I'd never seen before. But it was the manila envelope marked "Anna - Private" that made my breath catch in my throat.I pulled out the docum

  • From Housewife To His Worst Ex-Wife    Double Vision

    (Lily POV)I pressed my back against the bathroom door, my heart hammering so hard I could feel it in my throat. Anna's voice drifted up from downstairs - that same gentle tone I'd heard in the implanted memories, but colder now. Harder."Hello, Daddy. I'm already home."Tony's gasp was audible even from the second floor. Then Elena's scream, high and desperate: "No, no, no! You're supposed to be unconscious! You can't be here!""But I am here," Anna replied, her voice carrying the kind of calm that comes before a storm. "I've been here for days, Elena. Watching you play house with my family."I crept to the bathroom window and peered down at the front yard. Through the living room window, I could see shadows moving - four figures facing each other in what looked like a standoff. My hands shook as I gripped the windowsill.The Anna I'd spoken to in the kitchen had looked exactly like me, but different too. Her face bore scars from the fire, thin white lines that traced across her left

  • From Housewife To His Worst Ex-Wife    The Resurrection

    (Anna POV - First Time)The first thing I remembered was the smell of smoke.Not the antiseptic hospital smell that had been my world for sixteen years, but real smoke. Wood burning. Fabric catching fire. The acrid scent that had filled my lungs the night my sister tried to kill me.I opened my eyes in the darkness of my hospital room, my heart pounding against my ribs like a caged bird. The memories came flooding back in pieces, sharp and painful as broken glass. Elena's face in my bedroom doorway. The candle falling. The flames spread across my Disney princess curtains while I screamed for Daddy.But Elena wasn't seven years old anymore. Neither was I.I sat up in bed, my body trembling from weeks of pretending to be unconscious. The nurses thought I was still catatonic, still lost in the darkness that had swallowed me after the fire. They had no idea I'd been awake for almost a month, listening to their conversations, learning about the world that had moved on without me.Learning
