LENA

The text message kept replaying in my head.

You don’t know what I know.

At first, I convinced myself it was just another one of Vivian’s mind games—an empty threat meant to keep me awake at night. And it worked. I barely slept, tossing and turning beside Roman, staring at the ceiling as his arm weighed protectively across my waist.

But two mornings later, reality slammed through the door.

Roman’s attorney arrived at the house with a stack of documents. His expression was grim, his voice clipped as he handed them to Roman.

“She’s filed,” he said.

I frowned. “Filed what?”

Roman’s jaw flexed, his eyes scanning the papers before flicking to me. “A lawsuit.”

The room tilted. “What?”

“She’s suing me,” he clarified, his tone flat but edged with steel. “Breach of promise to marry. Defamation. Emotional damages.” He set the papers down on the table with a sharp thud. “She’s dragging us into court.”

My stomach dropped. “Can she even do that?”

“Yes,” the attorney answered before Roman could

  • Stepdaughter by Day, Wife by Night   Chapter 72 – Roman Buys Her a Private Island

    LENAWhen Roman told me we were going on a “trip,” I assumed he meant something simple—a weekend escape to one of his hotels, maybe, or a penthouse hidden away from the chaos of the city. Something to clear our heads after Vivian’s unexpected appearance at the door.What I didn’t expect was the private jet.Nor the way Roman refused to answer any of my questions as I tried, repeatedly, to pry it out of him.“Roman Wolfe,” I said, narrowing my eyes as I buckled into the leather seat. “You’ve been smirking like the devil for hours. Tell me where we’re going.”His lips curved, that maddeningly knowing smile that made my stomach flip. “Patience, angel.”“I have a baby,” I pointed out, gesturing toward Isabella who was snuggled safely in her bassinet. “Patience doesn’t exist anymore.”He leaned over, brushing his lips against mine. &

  • Stepdaughter by Day, Wife by Night   Chapter 71 – Viral Interview Clears My Name

    LENAWhen I first saw the headline about Vivian’s statement, I thought my chest might never stop aching. She’d painted me as manipulative, selfish, a girl who ruined her own mother’s engagement for attention. She’d called Isabella “a mistake born from betrayal.”I couldn’t eat for two days after that. Every time I looked at Isabella, I wondered if I’d failed her before she could even take her first steps.But Roman didn’t bend. He refused to let Vivian’s version of events be the only one the world heard.“We’re doing this,” he said one morning, his voice sharp but gentle as he slid a laptop in front of me. “A real interview. One that’s not edited into garbage. One where you can tell the truth.”I froze. The idea of sitting in front of a camera, baring my soul to millions of people who already hated me, made my stomach twist violently.“I can

  • Stepdaughter by Day, Wife by Night   Chapter 70 – Roman Publicly Declares Love

    LENAI could feel the walls closing in.The reporters’ voices thundered from the other side of the hospital door, their questions sharp, prying, merciless. My heart pounded as I clutched Isabella closer, rocking her gently against me even though she’d already fallen back asleep. Each bang on the door rattled through me like a gunshot.“Roman Wolfe, do you deny the affair?”“Lena, are you ashamed of what you did to your mother?”“Isabella Wolfe—was this child planned or an accident?”I flinched at that last one, bile rising in my throat. They spoke her name like it was gossip, not the fragile, perfect truth of our daughter.Roman’s jaw had turned to granite, his entire body tense as he stood between me and the door. His fists clenched at his sides, the kind of controlled fury that scared me more than if he had screamed.He turned his head slightly, his eyes locking on mine.

  • Stepdaughter by Day, Wife by Night   Chapter 69 – Hate Online

    LENAFor a little while, everything felt perfect. Naming her Isabella had stitched something whole in my heart. Roman and I spent hours repeating it, whispering it to her, letting the sound of her name settle into the walls of this hospital room. Isabella Wolfe. Our little girl. Our light.But perfect never lasted long for us.The morning after, I woke to the sound of my phone buzzing on the bedside table. Roman had been up most of the night rocking Isabella, so I tried not to disturb him as I reached for it. My fingers still felt swollen and clumsy from the birth, but I managed to swipe the screen open.And then my blood ran cold.The notifications wouldn’t stop. Pings from apps I hadn’t touched in weeks, mentions piling up like a tidal wave. I tapped one without thinking, and the first headline screamed back at me:“Roman Wolfe’s Mistress Finally Names Her Baby: Isabella Wolfe.”My thro

  • Stepdaughter by Day, Wife by Night   Chapter 68 – Naming the Baby

    LENAThe world outside felt like a storm, but in here, inside this quiet hospital room, it was just the three of us. Roman sat close, his arm draped protectively around me as I cradled our daughter. She was so impossibly small, her fingers curling against the blanket, her lips parting in the faintest sighs.Every time I looked at her, it felt like my heart cracked wider. She wasn’t even a week old, and already I couldn’t imagine a universe where she didn’t exist.The nurses kept reminding me: “She needs a name.” They wanted to update her paperwork, enter her properly into the system. But every time I thought about it, I froze. Naming her felt monumental, like putting a stamp on her soul.Tonight, though, with Roman beside me and the hum of machines quieter than usual, it finally felt like the moment.“She can’t be ‘Baby Girl’ forever,” Roman murmured, brushing his thumb lightly against her

  • Stepdaughter by Day, Wife by Night   Chapter 67 – Roman Gives Lena a New Ring

    LENAHospitals have a way of making time feel strange. Days blurred into nights, and nights into days, with the steady rhythm of beeping monitors and the constant shuffle of nurses coming in and out. But somewhere between the exhaustion and the fear, there were moments that felt achingly precious. Like watching our daughter’s tiny chest rise and fall in the incubator. Like feeling Roman’s hand threaded through mine while he whispered promises in the quiet hours.On the fourth evening after she was born, Roman asked the nurse for some privacy. She gave him a look—half suspicion, half indulgence—but eventually left, closing the curtain around my bed.I was sitting upright, cradling our baby against my chest, her fragile warmth grounding me even as fatigue weighed on my bones. Roman moved around the room with restless energy, tugging at the sleeves of his shirt, pacing once before stopping in front of me.“There’s somethin
