By year's end, I'd closed a huge deal and snagged a $2.5 million bonus. The company even sent me on early maternity leave—nice perk for being eight months pregnant. Pauline found me lounging on the couch. "Why aren't you at work?" I cracked a joke. "Got fired. Guess I'll be stuck here playing housewife." Her response? A slap across my back. "Then get off and do the laundry! You're having a girl, not a son, and you think you can sit around like some princess?" My husband, Logan, walked in right then. He just pulled her into the nursery. Feeling hurt, I switched on the hidden cameras I'd secretly installed. I thought maybe he'd defend me. Yeah, no. What I uncovered? It was so much worse. Twisted secret after twisted secret.

Pauline froze like she'd been struck by lightning."No! That's not true! No!" she shrieked. "Yana isn't my daughter! Julie's framing me! She can't stand that Yana has a better life than hers! She's jealous because Yana's having a boy!"Logan shot up from the gallery."Julie! You're full of shit!" he barked. "You're trying to drive a wedge between me and Yana, aren't you? You want me back? Is that it?"I knew it! You regret divorcing me! But guess what? You've picked the wrong way to win me over! You disgust me even more now!"But his barking died fast when the cold, hard evidence hit the courtroom.The investigator's findings revealed that Pauline had run off with a man in her youth, disappearing for months. She'd come back with an illegitimate daughter. But when the man bailed on both of them, her ashamed family sold the child to a bachelor in a neighboring town and married Pauline off to a widower with a son.That son? Logan.He'd spent his life believing Pauline was his real

Listening to his impassioned rant, I almost couldn't wait to see his face when he knew the truth.For months, I'd wrestled with one question: why did Pauline want my child dead? Why push her "distant niece" into Logan's bed? If all she wanted was a grandson, why take things that far?It didn't add up.Not until my PI uncovered the real story.Since Logan was so eager to play the devoted son, I decided to help him live up to the role.I planted a rumor that there was a way to get Pauline out of prison. Logan, desperate, took the bait without a second thought. Every asset he fought to strip from me in the divorce? They flowed right back into my hands through the trap I set.Next, I packaged a little gift—a video recording that would bury him. Then I hired a hacker to drop it into his company's group chat. Within hours, the video spread like wildfire. Logan was fired on the spot for "damaging the company's reputation."And his problems didn't stop there.Between Yana's endless dem

Yana broke down completely. "Logan! I'm still young—I don't want to go to jail! I'm pregnant with your son!"The cops glanced from my very round belly to Yana's, their faces oozing 'seriously, dude?' vibes. One of them impatiently waved Logan forward.Under the heat, Logan yanked the pillowcase tighter around his waist and shot me a death glare, teeth grinding. "Julie! You win! Fine. You want a divorce? I'll sign the papers. But let me give you some advice—don't make a decision you'll regret for the rest of your life."Once we're divorced, I'll marry Yana, and we'll be just fine. Happily ever after. Meanwhile, you? You and your baby won't get a single cent from me!"I didn't even blink as he snatched the pen and scrawled his name across the divorce papers. The lawyer slid the documents into his briefcase.Finally, I let out a laugh.Without a word, I reached back, untied the fake pregnancy belly strapped to me, and launched it straight at Logan's face."Baby? What baby?"Logan
Jobless? Nope, Just Ruthless Chapter 8
At eight months pregnant, an induced labor was still full-on childbirth.The baby was crushed and pulled out—just mangled blood and flesh, unrecognizable.The doctor confirmed it—tests showed the meds had wrecked her development. "Even if your baby had survived the birth, she would've been brain-dead."I stared at the mangled, tiny body, my rage solidified into a vow.'Logan. Pauline. You'll pay for this. In blood.'***A few days later, I placed an order for maternity-themed lingerie.Through the camera feed, I watched Yana sign for the package, tearing it open. Her smug little smirk said it all—she thought Logan sent it. She thought she'd won.That evening, when Logan walked in from work, Yana was waiting in the nursery, draped in that lingerie, one leg stretched out like a magazine spread."Logan, don't you want to say hello to your son?"Back when I was barely showing, he couldn't keep his hands off me. A man who couldn't keep it in his pants? No way he'd hold back now.
