LOGINUpon discovering I was pregnant, I excitedly rushed to my husband’s company to put our baby down as our insurance beneficiary. However, I was shocked to read my husband’s file. Partner: Victoria Winston Children: Jack Hudson, Sophia Hudson. I froze. The HR manager said the woman was his legally wedded wife and the heiress to the largest hotel chain on the East Coast. Their children were already seven years old. It felt like my world was crumbling down around me. If she was his wife, what was I? His mistress of five years? His friend with benefits? Even more absurdly, I was now pregnant with his child. A child who would never be acknowledged by their father. An illegitimate child. I nodded dazedly. My whole body felt weak. The man I considered my husband was never mine. Even after death, his gravestone would not have my name!
View MoreAmy Armstrong stood at the entrance of the grand Diamond Towers, the crown jewel of her family's vast business empire. Tall and confident, she exuded an air of determination that belied her youth. At 21 years old, she was the heiress to the Diamond Groups, a responsibility that weighed heavily on her shoulders.
Born into a life of privilege, Amy had always been aware of the immense legacy her father, CEO Zack Armstrong, had built. The Diamond Groups spanned industries and continents, their influence reaching far and wide. But as much as Amy admired her father's success, she yearned to prove herself capable of carrying the family name and ensuring the empire's continued prosperity.
Entering the bustling lobby, Amy was greeted by the familiar faces of employees who had served her family for years. The warm smiles and respectful nods filled her with a sense of pride, but also a gnawing pressure to live up to the high expectations set by her father.
She walked past the luxurious surroundings, knowing that her true test awaited her in the boardroom. Today marked the beginning of her official induction into the business, a critical step toward assuming her role as a future leader. As she approached the door, a mixture of anticipation and nerves coursed through her veins.
Amy took a deep breath and pushed open the heavy wooden doors. The room was filled with influential executives, all of whom turned their attention to her. At the head of the table sat her father, a formidable figure exuding power and authority. His piercing gaze met hers, and she could see a flicker of pride in his eyes.
"Welcome, Amy," her father's voice resonated through the room. "Today, we mark a new chapter in our family legacy. The time has come for you to step into your rightful place as an heir of the Diamond Groups."
Amy felt a mix of excitement and trepidation. She knew that this moment would shape her future, and she was determined not to disappoint. She had studied tirelessly, immersed herself in every aspect of the business, and sought mentors who would help her hone her skills.
As the meeting progressed, Amy listened attentively, absorbing the wealth of knowledge being shared. Her father's words carried weight, each decision and strategy meticulously thought out. She recognized the magnitude of her responsibilities, the lives of countless employees, and the success of the Diamond Groups hinged upon her choices.
After the meeting concluded, Amy and her father stepped out onto the balcony overlooking the cityscape. The sun was beginning to set, casting a warm glow over the skyline. It was a moment of quiet reflection amidst the chaos of the corporate world.
"Remember, Amy," her father spoke softly, breaking the silence. "Leading is not just about numbers and profits. It's about integrity, empathy, and the impact we have on people's lives. I have no doubt that you possess the qualities to lead with compassion and strength."
A surge of determination coursed through Amy's veins. She knew that her journey wouldn't be easy, but she was ready to face the challenges head-on. She would prove herself capable of carrying her father's legacy, not only through business acumen but also through the values that defined the Diamond Groups.
As she gazed out at the city below, Amy made a silent promise to herself. She would forge her own path, earning the respect of her father and the entire business world. She would become a leader who not only commanded the boardroom but also uplifted those around her.
With renewed determination, Amy turned to her father, a smile tugging at the corners of her lips. "Thank you, Dad. I won't let you down. I'm ready to take on the challenges that lie ahead."
Zack Armstrong looked at his daughter, his eyes filled with a mix of pride and love. "I believe in you, Amy. You have all the tools you need to succeed. Embrace this journey, and never forget the power of passion, perseverance, and the strength of our family's legacy."
And with those words, Amy embarked on a path that would test her mettle, shape her character, and define her place in the Diamond Groups. The journey ahead would be filled with challenges, but Amy was determined to carve her own destiny and lead the family empire into a new era.
Victoria lost her mind not long after she was sent to the women’s prison. The prison doctor said she had serious schizophrenia, talking to herself every day as though her children were still with her.The children wound up with a horrible foster family. After losing their wealth and gaining a name as the children of a criminal, they were bullied every day at school.Daniel was sentenced to twenty-five years in jail. As a former Wall Street executive, he was tormented every day. The prisoners who went bankrupt due to financial crimes took out their anger on him.Within a year, he was paralyzed from the waist down due to a spinal injury from the repeated beatings. He spent every day staring at the ceiling in a daze. The nurses said he kept calling a name in his sleep — “Emma”.The Winstons had all their assets confiscated for money laundering. Their hotel empire came crashing down overnight.The Hudson Fund also went bankrupt over the insider trading scandal. The investors they ha
I then sent the DNA report and Victoria’s abortion record to Daniel’s office anonymously. As I expected, he started desperately gathering proof of her crimes once he read the documents. Those two conmen were tearing at each other’s throats.The next morning, the Hudson Fund suddenly halted all their business and ordered all employees to leave the building. Daniel walked to the conference room, wearing a black suit and holding a file.Victoria was already waiting in the conference room, immaculately dressed and smiling smugly. Her grin froze when she saw the file in Daniel’s hands.“Victoria, we need to talk.” Daniel’s voice was eerily calm. He put the DNA report on the table. “Jack and Sophia aren’t my kids.”Victoria had gone pale, but she tried to stay calm. “That report is fake. Where did you get it?”“I tested them myself. Three times.” Daniel smirked coldly. “I went to three different labs, but the results were the same. Their biological father is your classmate from Harvar
It happened to be Christmas on the day I secretly returned to New York.Fifth Avenue was covered in lights, Macy’s was playing cheerful music… and the Hudson Fund’s office building was enveloped in storm clouds.“Mr. Hudson hasn’t worked properly in months,” the barista at the café whispered to me. “Apparently, he’s locked himself up in his office, staring at old photographs.”I felt nothing but disgust. He did not give a hoot about me back when I was alive, but now he was pretending to be a grieving lover.Was I supposed to be happy that I broke his heart at the cost of my life? What about my child? Who was going to avenge the baby who never even got to see the world?I stood across the street from the building, watching as a luxury car pulled up in front of the entrance. Victoria should be heading back to Switzerland soon, but the children had not officially registered at a school in New York yet. As I watched, Victoria got out of the car, wearing sunglasses. She then walk
I began to customise a detailed revenge plan. First of all, I needed a new identity. Robert used his contacts in the FBI to get me a new set of ID. From now on, I was Susan Harris, an investment consultant who just returned to the States from London. “The Winstons have been looking for an overseas investment consultant.” Robert pointed at the recruitment notice on the screen. “With your abilities, landing the job will be a cinch.”I carefully analyzed the Winstons’ financial records and found many interesting loopholes. They were not particularly skilled at money laundering, with large amounts of money flowing to the Cayman Islands under so-called “art investments” and “charity donations”.“Is this evidence enough?” I asked.“Enough for the FBI to start a case,” Robert said. “But we need more evidence from the inside.”I smiled. “Then I’ll be their inside woman.”For the next month, I desperately studied financial products and international taxes. I only slept four hours a day
