After the 100th failed fertility treatment, my husband, who had been previously diagnosed with a low sperm count, spoke coldly. “Lucy is very fertile. She gets pregnant after our first time, unlike you. You just can’t conceive.” Lucy was my adoptive sister. While holding her hand, he laid out three options for me. I could either ignore their affair and retain my title as the CEO’s wife, take the ten million dollars and disappear, or walk away with nothing at all. The whole town knew how proud I was. They also knew how deeply I loved him. They surely expected me to be mad with jealousy and choose honor over compromise. But I neither cried nor made a scene. I calmly slid the check back across the table. “The child will call me Mom. I’ll stay and be Mrs. Carter.” After all, this was my third time to live such a life. The first time, I chose to leave with nothing but my dignity. The second time, I took the money, but had to live in shame. Both decisions ended in tragedy. For the third time, perhaps three of us could just... make it work.

It was Lucy. Her identity as a fake heiress had been completely exposed.My father, Theodore Lark, personally held a press conference. He stated that he had already terminated the adoption relationship with Lucy three years prior for ‘improper conduct and repeated damage to the family’s reputation.’The statement included several pieces of evidence.There was evidence of Lucy embezzling funds from the family foundation, forging her academic credentials, and chat logs of her seducing my ex-husband.The media was in an uproar.The hashtags #FakeHeiressUnmasked and #LarkFamilyDisowns surged to the top of the trending list.Lucy yelled through the line, “Cadence! Are you happy now?! You’ve ruined everything for me! Arthur wants nothing to do with me now! You win! You can have him back!”I slowly cut into the steak on my plate as I said calmly, “No thanks. I don’t want trash.“And I certainly don’t take other people’s trash.”...I then heard wailing and the sound of objects bei

“You never loved me. You loved Lark Group’s connections. You loved the properties. You loved having a gullible woman around to make you look good.“The game is over now.”The last shred of his pretense was ripped away.He swiftly signed it.The divorce proceedings concluded with surprising smoothness.After Arthur signed the papers, Carter Group formally entered bankruptcy liquidation within two weeks.All its assets were frozen and auctioned to repay debts.Every property, car, and even the collectible watches under his name were wiped clean.On the day we finally filed the divorce, the sunlight was dazzling.I stood outside the courthouse and pulled out my phone to call Claire.I wanted to celebrate my newfound freedom.I was about to make the call when a black sedan eased to a stop before me.The tinted window descended, revealing a face that was both familiar and unsettling.It was Silas....He was the young man who got me out of the nightclub that night and later h

The moment I refused to sign the divorce papers, I had already set my plan in motion, putting the entire Carter family in grave danger.Behind him, his assistant said cautiously, “The board... is demanding an immediate resolution, Mr. Carter.“Otherwise, they’ll start emergency proceedings to remove you as CEO.”Arthur closed his eyes. After a long moment, he spoke hoarsely. “Get the car ready.”When he returned home, he went upstairs and searched for me. When he looked at me, those eyes, once filled with pride and cunning, held nothing but wretchedness.“Cadence.“You win.“I give up.“Spare Carter Group. It was my father’s life’s work. I can’t be the one to ruin it.“Name your terms. Whatever it is, if I can do it, I’ll agree.”I looked at him quietly.“Get on your knees.”...Arthur looked up instantly. “What?”“I said, get on your knees,” I repeated, my tone calm. “If you’re going to beg, then beg properly.”His face turned red from anger. “Cadence! You’ve cr

“Doctor, the baby...” Arthur rushed up.“The procedure is complete. I’m sorry about the baby.”The doctor removed his mask and spoke in reproach.“Mr. Carter, how exactly have you been looking after her? Her progesterone levels were critically low. This borders on negligence.”“No! That’s not what happened!”Lucy had woken up at some point. She said weakly, “It was her! My sister! She made me take those prenatal supplements every day! There was something in it! She killed my baby, Arthur! She did!”...Arthur said furiously, “Cadence! Were you so jealous that you poisoned her supplements?”Facing the accusation, I replied calmly, “I was just trying to take care of my sister. Why would you accuse me of being so jealous that I’d poison her? The doctor is right here. Don’t you think he’d know if she’d been poisoned?”The doctor frowned and said, “Mr. Carter, many things could trigger a miscarriage. But in this case, the medical evidence points primarily to the patient’s own cho

I said coldly, “I did nothing wrong.”Lucy’s sobs grew louder.Arthur glared at me with an icy gaze.“Since you refuse to see reason, all the monthly payments from our agreement are frozen, effective immediately. We’ll discuss reinstatement when you get on your knees and apologize to Lucy.”I le

“And Lucy, you’re pregnant. You need to stay emotionally stable. No more stirring up trouble, okay?”For a moment, Arthur and Lucy both looked distinctly guilty.I ignored them and turned to the butler.“Starting today, Ms. Lark’s daily care must be exceptionally meticulous.“She’ll have five sp

“Move Mr. Carter’s things to the guest room, too. We wouldn’t want him and Lucy having a long-distance relationship while living under the same roof.”Lucy’s eyes widened. Before she could complain to Arthur, I looked at him with a smile.“Darling, you’re the father. It’s better for the mother’s h
