Swapping the Targeted Diamond Ring Chapter 8 The House of Cards Falls
A few quiet days passed after the chaos surrounding Sophie. Then, Lucas showed up again—just to tell me he wanted a divorce. I nearly laughed in his face. I didn't know what Sophie told him, but somehow she persuaded him to be the one to bring it up. I asked evenly, "You want a divorce so you can marry Sophie? Does your mother know?" Lucas puffed himself up like a man staging his first act of rebellion. He replied coldly, "She'll understand. It's my marriage. I get to choose who I spend my life with." I agreed on the spot and signed the papers without blinking. He grabbed them and added, "Since we're done, you need to move out. The house belongs to Sophie and me now." I pointed toward the door. "No worries. I moved out days ago."… I went straight to the hospital afterward. Victoria's injuries were mostly healed, but her hands and feet were gone—permanently damaged. She'd be in a wheelchair for life. I tucked the blanket around her and let out a gentle sigh. "Mom,
Swapping the Targeted Diamond Ring Chapter 7 The Woman Who Thought She Won
After I finished speaking, Victoria went quiet. Still, her eyes told me everything—the idea was already sinking in, so I pressed once more. "Mom, Sophie openly disrespects you. If anyone needs a plan here, it's you. You should raise the baby yourself. Otherwise, what if the child grows up on her side instead of yours?" That did it. Victoria's eyes lit up. She looked at me like I'd just handed her the winning lottery ticket. "Avery, you really do think for me. Don't worry, I'll never let that woman step into our home again. Once the baby's born, I'll register the child under your name. "You're Lucas' legal wife. Sophie is nobody—a mere mistress trying to sneak into the Reed family." Anger fueled her. With every word, she seemed more alive. I smiled gently and helped her build out a few more proposals until she was practically designing her own financial lockdown strategy for Lucas.… Two hours later, I left the hospital in high spirits and returned to the office. The

I didn't hold back. If anything, the moment permitted me to release years of swallowed anger. I kept hitting Lucas until he finally snapped and shoved me back. "Avery Hale, what is wrong with you? This is a hospital! Can you just act normal for once?" I slapped him again. "Normal? You cheated on me, and I'm the crazy one?" I pointed straight at his bandaged mother. "Look at Mom—look at what your mistress did! And you're still defending that woman? You don't even care if your own mother lives or dies!" People began gathering at the door. Whispers soon spread among them. Someone recognized Lucas from the mall incident, while another noted he was a CEO. Lucas went pale, anger tightening his voice. "None of this would've happened if you hadn't given her that ring! She wouldn't have been confused for anyone else!" I let out a sharp laugh before grabbing the ring from the bedside table and holding it up. "Now you want to talk about that? Your mother tears into me every single d
Swapping the Targeted Diamond Ring Chapter 5 The Perfect Victim
Sophie broke down completely as panic flooded her face. "I'm sorry, Lucas. Please… I didn't know. It's my fault. I'll take the blame. Just forgive me."She clutched her stomach. "I'm carrying your child. Don't you want our baby to have a good life?"Her pregnancy was the only shield she had left. Lucas' fury, however, never softened.The ambulance arrived.Lucas scooped Victoria into his arms and climbed inside without glancing at Sophie.The doors slammed shut, leaving Sophie alone in the street.Her wedding dress—previously pristine—was now torn, covered in dirt, and trailing behind her as she hurried after the ambulance, calling out for him to wait.No one stopped.No one helped.Whispers rippled through the crowd. Her bridesmaids had already disappeared—fearful of being dragged down with her. And soon, even the spectators lost interest.I slipped into the flow of people heading out.…When I got home, Lucas called.His voice was frozen solid. He said his mother had bee
Swapping the Targeted Diamond Ring Chapter 4 When Everything Cracks
The slap caused Sophie's head to jerk to the side, and her cheek swelled almost immediately. She looked at Lucas in shock, one hand covering her face as tears welled up."Babe, why would you hit me?" she cried. "Do you actually care about that woman? Is that why you're treating me like this?"Lucas didn't even look at her. He pulled out his phone to call an ambulance.Yet, Sophie lunged forward and smacked the phone out of his hand. It hit the ground and shattered."You still want to save her?" she screamed. "Lucas, who do you really love? Say it! Say it right now!"I nearly laughed.Sophie truly believed his silence came from guilt.She had no idea who she was dealing with.Lucas lived for his reputation.Being accused of cheating in public was already a wound to his pride.Now Sophie was screaming at him in front of a crowd. He wasn't enduring it for her—he was enduring it for himself.When she slapped the phone away, his self-control shattered."Get out of my way!" Lucas
Swapping the Targeted Diamond Ring Chapter 3 The Wedding Dress Riot
Not long after, I rechecked Sophie's social media. The close-up photo of the ring had vanished. 'Good. Deleting it only means it rattled her,' I thought. I reloaded the mall membership card and handed it to Victoria. "Mom," I spoke sweetly, "there's a new drop from that luxury brand. It matches your ring perfectly. I heard Mrs. Graham and Mrs. Ewing already booked appointments." Those two were her eternal rivals—always battling over handbags, diamonds, and designer outfits. They'd flaunted new pieces just last week, and Victoria had been seething ever since. Now, her eyes lit up with a chance to outshine them. "Well, at least you're good for something," she responded. "You were never meant for finer things anyway. Better it ends up with me." I reminded her, "It's a limited release. It could sell out by tomorrow." The color drained from her face. I checked the time. Perfect. "If you go now, you'll beat them to it." I offered her the card with an easy smile. "There's
