Report
I had once been the woman Theo Bennett would have risked his life to marry. For six years after our wedding, he treated me like his entire world. He even had a matching tattoo carved into his lower abdomen, identical to mine, as proof of his devotion. But in the seventh year, he coldly demanded that I make a full-body model for his kept woman. "Catherine," he said, his voice sharp with contempt, "this is the price you pay for lying to me about being my savior. You know my tastes better than anyone. Make sure you replicate Hannah's body temperature. She's pregnant. I don't want to hurt her." Hannah Moore lay limp in Theo's arms, laughing so hard her shoulders shook. "How pathetic, Catherine," she mocked. "I'm pregnant, so I can't be with Theo. And yet he'd rather order a model of me than lay a finger on you. Once this one wears out, I guess I'll have to trouble you to make a few more copies of me." Only then did I understand. Theo had mistaken Hannah for the woman who once saved his life. I didn't scream. I didn't cry. I didn't argue. I simply turned around and dialed Sebastian's number. "Sebastian," I said calmly, "Theo is having an affair. I want a divorce."

"All the properties and jewelry I gave you are revoked. Any endorsements or deals you secured using my name—you bear the penalties. And prepare for court. Fraud, defamation, incitement to violence. You'll spend the rest of your life paying for this."Hannah went pale, her face drained of color. "Theo, you can't do this to me! I really love you!"At that moment, a lawyer stepped forward.Dominic Stone read with an impassive expression, "Ms. Moore, our investigation shows you may have used Mr. Bennett's name for illegal fundraising. The evidence has been handed over to the police. Additionally, your mother has been taken in to assist with the investigation for her involvement in the fake pregnancy scheme."Hannah's eyes widened in disbelief. "No, this has nothing to do with my mom! Theo, please, don't hurt her!"Theo's gaze turned icy. He gestured to the bodyguards. "Take her out. Don't let her make a scene here."Then he didn't look at her again.Two burly guards entered and drag
She Was Never Me Chapter 6 The Truth Comes Due
All I felt was confusion."I don't understand," I said softly. "I've never wronged these people. Why are they attacking me out of nowhere?"Sebastian and my parents looked at me, so lost and bewildered, and their hearts ached for me."Sweetheart, don't listen to them," my mother said gently. "They don't know the truth.""This is all because of those two awful people," my father added grimly. "We, and Sebastian, will make them pay for what they've done."I nodded blankly, still trying to make sense of it all.…A few days later, Sebastian suddenly handed me a thick document envelope."Cathy," he said, his voice steady, "everything you need is in here. This evidence will prove your innocence. I want to hold a press conference and expose Hannah for who she really is, and clear your name once and for all. Are you willing?"Thinking of how Sebastian had been running himself ragged these past days, juggling my situation and the company's affairs, I agreed without hesitation.The pr
She Was Never Me Chapter 5 Fractured Memories
It turned out that the girl who had clung to him for survival in the kidnappers' hideout was me. The one who had donated a kidney when his own was failing was me.So what had he been doing all these years?The trauma had been so immense that he had forgotten my face. He had ignored me, even humiliated me in the presence of another woman.He sped like a madman to the exhibition hall, heart pounding, hands gripping the wheel.But when he arrived, the hall was empty. I was gone."Catherine… Cathy… Sweetie… where are you? Please, come out! Cathy, I remember now… Please, just come out!"He screamed at the empty space, but no one answered. He fumbled with his phone, calling me over and over. Still, no response.It was then he realized, in a gut-wrenching moment of despair, that aside from my love for sculpture, he knew nothing about me. His knowledge of his own wife was painfully barren.The phone rang again. This time, it was Hannah. "Theo… where are you? It hurts so much… Please co
She Was Never Me Chapter 4 The Edge of Ruin
Blackness swallowed me, and I lost all sense of time.When I came to, Theo's coat was draped over me. He stood a short distance away, his back stiff, as if carved from stone."You really are cunning," he said, his voice tight with restrained anger. "You actually eavesdropped on what Hannah said back then to trick me."He turned to face me, his expression cold, unyielding."Catherine, put an end to these thoughts you shouldn't even be having. Stay in your lane from now on, and don't provoke Hannah. Maybe… just maybe… I'll spare you a shred of mercy now and then."I pushed myself up, my heart hollow.What did I need his mercy for? All I wanted was for Sebastian to finish arranging everything and take me out of this nightmare.Just then, Theo's phone rang.Hannah's whiny, panicked voice came through. "Theo! Our child is gone! It's Catherine! The doctor said that the model she delivered was made with toxic materials. The fumes killed our baby!"Theo's face turned an instant, terri
