Revenge for the "Wrong Number"

I pulled her hand away and backed off. There was no need to spare her any dignity. "Tell me something, Melanie. Why'd you steal my spot in this care center? My spot, which my family saved for me. And you stole it using my name. Also, why do you have my pendant and bracelet?"I raised my voice enough for the people around us to hear. Their eyes turned to us, and Melanie did not look happy at all. But then her tears started to fall."What are you talking about? My husband got me a spot here because my pregnancy took everything out of me. He got me the bracelet and necklace. They're not yours." Then, she sized me up again and put on a frown. "Are you having prepartum depression because your husband's been abusing you? Sounds like you're being delusional."I knew the looks around me. They were of judgment."Is she sure it's prepartum depression? Sounds like she's hallucinating.""They say Mrs. Melson's package costs 120 grand. Look at the clothes this woman's wearing. Bet she can't ev

"Please, have some dignity! Just because you're pregnant doesn't mean you can do anything you want!"Now, people were giving me weirder looks. Someone even suggested calling the cops. I froze.William was a careful man. The moment I showed my ID, he thought one step ahead and shut down any chance of me convincing anyone I was his real wife. Now, I couldn't even use my marriage certificate because he said it was fake.I wish it were.Melanie heaved a sigh of relief and rested on William's chest. "If your marriage isn't working out, I can suggest some divorce lawyers, but please don't try to steal my husband."Divorce. She made sure everyone heard that. She wanted me to get a divorce so she could marry William instead.William kissed her cheek like she was his most prized treasure. He saw me as nothing but trash."Now get out of here! I'm calling the cops next time!" He approached the reception. "Hi, can you get the guards here? We'll need to get rid of this crazy woman. God knows

That convinced William. Once again, he tried to talk to Jessie, thinking he was only trying to help. "Ms. Gibson, I don't know what kind of lies this crazy woman told you to make you help her, but she's not worth it."He pushed Melanie ahead. "This is the sister of Pioneer Technologies' CEO. You must've seen her before. She'd seen you as well. She knows you have no sister."Okay, that not only shocked me. Jessie was stunned as well. Pioneer Technologies' CEO was my brother, Timothy Crossfire. We had different family names because of a complicated situation.My sister laughed mirthlessly. "She's Mr. Crossfire's sister?"In his infinite wisdom, William nodded. "Yes. So please, stop helping that woman. Melanie used Selene's name to get a slot because they were all sold out. Who knows how that bitch got that slot? Maybe she stole Melanie's slot first. Please, forgive us."Jessie wasted not a single word on them. She called my brother. "Hey, Timothy, didn't know you had another sister

"It's all her! She lied to me!"Melanie could not believe what she was hearing. William was pinning all the blame on her.I thought it was laughable. William was nothing but a selfish man who only loved himself. Now he was trying to use his connection with me to weasel his way out. "Timothy, we're family. Just give me a chance. I swear, I'll treat Selene like a queen. And her baby…"He pointed a finger at Melanie. "She killed her baby, so Selene can take hers!"What? That was unbelievable. The bastard would have me raise his mistress' child? And I thought he was already low enough. Now the bar was sinking straight into the underworld.I hissed, "No, you can keep the child. And we're not family. My attorney's drafting the papers as we speak. We're getting a divorce!"William wasn't going to agree to that. "I won't sign the papers!"I looked away. "Doesn't matter." My voice was ice-cold.The cops took William and Melanie away for investigation purposes. Timothy and Jessie took tu
