Chapter 1 The Real Fraser Heir

Author: Unsweetened Cream
The dizzy sensation of falling through midair made me realize I had been reborn to the exact moment Keith Coburn shoved me off the cliff.

"Logan, who the hell do you think you are to embarrass me like that? You should know your place. A broke loser like you will never be in my league."

I tumbled down the rocky slope, sharp stones tearing through every patch of exposed skin. Pain ripped through me, causing my breath to come out in harsh gasps of pain.

My girlfriend, Lucia Joy, stood not far away.

However, she made no attempt to stop Keith.

She didn't even try to help me. Instead, she looked down at me coldly and said, "Logan, quit playing dead. You only rolled halfway down the slope. How badly could you possibly be hurt?"

In my previous life, I had shakily taken off my shirt to show her the bloody cuts covering my chest and back from the rocks after hearing those words.

To my dismay, Lucia had pulled out her phone to take pictures of my sorry state, accusing me of having no shame and deliberately stripping in the middle of nowhere to seduce her.

I didn't bother asking her for help this time around. I silently pulled out my phone and texted my father.

There wasn't enough time, so I only sent my location and two words—Help me.

I was the Fraser family's only child. To outsiders, my father was a ruthless business tycoon who ruled over his domain with an iron fist, but he had always been endlessly patient when it came to me.

He would definitely arrive within half an hour.

I would survive this life as long as I could hold on until then.

The second the text was sent, Keith suddenly snatched my phone away and smashed it onto the ground.

"Who exactly do you think you can call for help, Fraser? I'll make sure you pay for all the humiliation you put me through today!"

I stared at him coldly. "Humiliation? I only told the truth—"

Before I could finish speaking, Lucia stepped forward and slapped me hard across the face, her eyes dark and vicious. "Logan, you're despicable. Even now, you're still denying Keith's identity. Apologize to him!"

As she spoke, she viciously shoved my head into the ground. A jagged rock sliced open my forehead, and I cried out in pain. Alas, my shouts of pain only seemed to excite her more. She pressed my face even harder against the dirt.

I had supported my girlfriend for 10 years. I'd originally planned to surprise her at graduation by finally revealing that I was the heir of the Fraser family who had funded her all these years. I never expected her to betray me first.

I had done nothing wrong, so there was no way I would apologize.

Lucia, who was eager to impress Keith, kicked me hard in the stomach. "I'm warning you. I'll make you regret it if you don't apologize today!"

The agonizing pain made me curl up instinctively, my legs buckling as I collapsed onto the ground.

I knew they were capable of doing far worse. After all, they had beaten me to death beneath this very cliff in my previous life.

Keith looked down at my miserable state and sneered. "Look at you. You think you can steal my woman looking like this? Take a good look at yourself."

I lay sprawled on the ground, gasping for breath.

As I had already embraced death once, I no longer held any expectations for Lucia. Still, I had to survive until my father arrived. Only then would I have a chance to live.

Just as Lucia lifted her leg to kick me again, I shouted at the top of my lungs, "Keith isn't the Fraser heir because I am! Lucia Joy, I'm the one who's been supporting you all these years—"

  • Impostor in My Name   Chapter 8 The Path Ahead

    Jemma stared at me warily. "You're not going back on your word, are you?"I shook my head. "You can leave because we were once family, but Keith stays."Keith never spoke a peep ever since he was dragged in here. His body had been shaking the entire time. However, he finally lost control of his bowels after hearing my words. He'd wet himself.Jemma hugged him tightly. "No. He leaves with me."She was in no position to bargain.I couldn't make sense of it. I might not be her biological child, but we had been a family for 20 years. Yet, she still chose Keith over me without hesitation. So, I decided to get to the bottom of it."Keith is my ex's son. I owed him so much back then for not marrying him. Of course, I have to make it up to his son."My father couldn't accept that she was lying to my face again. "Are you delusional? Have you forgotten how things ended with him?"According to my father, what Jemma had was no tragic love story. She did have a boyfriend, but he was a dea

  • Impostor in My Name   Chapter 7 The Truth

    The first thing that greeted me was the fluorescent lights of the hospital. I could tell that my whole body was wrapped in bandages. My father was working off to the side, but he ended his online meeting and rushed to me the second he saw my eyes open."Logan, you're finally awake. You gave me a heart attack. You're the only one I have left. I almost lost it when I saw you lying in the pool of blood."It took a while to calm him down before he could steady himself.Still, the vulnerable side of him disappeared at the mention of the culprits. "Don't worry. I've gotten to the bottom of it. I won't let anyone who's harmed you off."As he said that, the door swung open. The bodyguards dragged three people in like they were sacks of potatoes."Logan, they're yours to deal with. You're my successor. You can't afford to be soft. Showing mercy is a death wish." My father had never spoken to me this sternly before. He must have had a real scare and realized protecting me wasn't enough.

  • Impostor in My Name   Chapter 6 A Truth Too Late to Undo

    My father had actually come back.He strode forward quickly and knocked the knife out of Lucia's hand in just a few swift moves.Lucia fell to the ground. She jumped up, ready to curse at him. However, the words instantly died in her throat the moment she saw my father's face. "M-Mr. Fraser… why did you return?"My father carefully lifted me into his arms. The hand that was brushing away the hair covering my face trembled slightly. The instant he saw my face, his eyes widened. I could see the violence in his eyes. "Who did this to him?" he growled.My father sounded calm. There was no obvious rage or accusation in his tone, but I knew him better than anyone. The angrier he became, the calmer he sounded. And right now, he was already standing on the edge of the precipice.Unfortunately, Lucia failed to pick that up. She actually stepped forward eagerly, trying to claim credit. "Mr. Fraser, this bastard bullied your son. So, I beat him up. Don't worry, I truly love Keith. I wo

  • Impostor in My Name   Chapter 5 The Truth No One Wanted to Hear

    I barely managed to force out a single syllable. Alas, a foot slammed hard into my chest before I could even finish saying "Dad." I rolled across the ground, and the face that was already impossible to make out got sliced open again against the rocks."You bastard! You bullied my son, and now you're trying to touch my husband with your filthy hands too—"My head buzzed violently. It took me a long moment to realize that the person beating me was my own mother."You'll never learn your place if I don't teach you a lesson today!"As she spoke, she snatched a baton from one of the bodyguards and struck my back over and over again.Pain wracked my entire body. I trembled uncontrollably on the ground like a beast on its death throes. I was barely breathing at this point.After what felt like forever, my mom finally grew tired. She tossed the baton aside and smiled ingratiatingly at my father. "Honey, you should head back. I'll deal with him myself. Don't worry. I definitely won't le

  • Impostor in My Name   Chapter 4 The Son No One Recognized

    The moment I heard my father's voice, the tension strangling my nerves finally loosened.But in the very next second, a surge of panic poured down on me like a bucket of cold ice.What if my father did the same as my mother and refused to acknowledge me as his son?I wanted to call out to him as he approached us. Alas, a sharp pain ripped through my throat as I tried to make a sound. The jagged rock had sliced my vocal cords. For the time being, I couldn't speak at all.My clothes barely covered me, and there were bloody wounds stretched across almost every inch of my body. My skin might as well be a white canvas drenched in crimson. I looked horrific.I lifted my hand, trying to grab my father's pant leg, but my mother suddenly stepped in front of me and blocked his view before I could reach him."Honey, what are you doing here?"My father dismissed her entirely. His sharp gaze swept across the area before he demanded coldly, "Where's my son?"My mother forced out an awkward

  • Impostor in My Name   Chapter 3 The Mother Who Denied Me

    My mother had attended countless business events alongside my father, and she was fairly well-known online herself. Most of the people there recognized her immediately.Keith even wrapped his arms around my mother and pouted. "Mom, I'm fine. I was just dealing with this bastard pretending to be me."Only then did my mother finally look at me.Yet, her gaze was ice-cold.I initially thought she was behaving that way because my face had been cut open by the rocks and covered in blood, hiding what I really looked like. Panic surged through me as I hurriedly wiped my face with my hands and desperately explained, "Mom, it's me, Logan! I'm your son—"Before I could finish, Lucia suddenly grabbed a rock from the ground and smashed it into my forehead."Mrs. Fraser is already here, and you still dare pretend to be some rich heir? Logan, just because your last name is Fraser doesn't mean nobody will expose you!"The blow left me dizzy and disoriented. I saw my mother turn her head away a
