LOGINWhat if, after carrying a child for nine months, the doctor looked you in the eyes and told you that the baby wasn't yours? For seven years, Lydia Osborne endured humiliation from her husband's family for failing to give them an heir. So when she finally became pregnant, she thought her prayers had been answered. Until a hospital visit shattered her world. The baby growing inside her wasn't biologically hers. The egg belonged to Clara, her husband's beloved sister-in-law, and Williams had known the truth all along. Her husband had deliberately deceived her, turning her into a surrogate without her knowledge or consent. Worse, he and Clara were already planning to take the baby from her after delivery. To the Osborne family, Lydia was nothing more than a womb they had conveniently used. But they had made one terrible mistake. They had underestimated the woman they betrayed. With her marriage in ruins and her heart shattered, Lydia walks away, leaving Williams convinced she has nowhere to go. What he doesn't know is that the wife he so carelessly discarded is hiding secrets that could bring his powerful family to its knees. He wanted a child at any cost. Now, he might lose everything trying to keep the woman he never deserved. They used her to bring an heir into their family. They never imagined she would become their greatest undoing.

Clara, who had been sitting across from him, suddenly sat up straight and closed the magazine she was reading."What happened?" she asked when he ended the call.Williams tossed his phone onto the coffee table, his expression darkening. "Lydia left Rachael's apartment.""Where did she go?""Apparently, someone came to pick her up."Clara raised an eyebrow. "Someone?""A black Bugatti." He reached for his glass of water, taking a sip before adding, "The registration number is 12998."Clara stared at him. "A Bugatti?""That's what I was told.""Do you know who owns it?""No. And that's what I intend to find out."Williams placed his glass down with a little more force than necessary. He couldn't understand where Lydia had suddenly found such an extravagant means of transportation. Rachael certainly couldn't afford a Bugatti, and he doubted any
“Welcome home, Madam Lambert.”Lydia had barely stepped out of the black Bugatti when the butler bowed before her.She paused, her eyes moving past him to the grand entrance of the Lambert mansion.The entire household staff stood in two neat rows along the entrance, dressed in their finest uniforms. Some wore wide smiles, while others struggled to hide their excitement. A few had been with the family since Lydia was a little girl. They had watched her grow up, and now, after years of waiting, she was standing before them again.“Madam Lydia!”“Welcome home, Miss Lydia!”Their greetings came one after another.Lydia's lips parted, but no words came out. She hadn't expected this. She had imagined arriving quietly, perhaps slipping into the mansion without attracting too much attention. Instead, the entire household had come out to receive her.“It's good to see you again, Madam,” the butler said.Lydia turned to him. “It's good to see you too.”“Her Ladyship has been looking forward to
Lydia wants a divorce?”Williams stared at the papers in his mother's hands, then let out a short laugh. The sound was sharp and careless, but his fingers had tightened around the edge of the coffee table.“She cannot be serious,” he said, taking the petition from Matilda. “I know exactly what she's doing. She wants attention. She expects me to panic, go running after her, and beg her to come home.”Matilda did not share his amusement. She tapped the signature with one red fingernail. “This is not a love letter, Williams. She has signed it.”Matilda's gaze returned to the petition. “How on earth did you not think this reveal through before going ahead with it, William. She wouldn't have known about the baby.”Williams's mouth tightened. “She didn't know anything until I told her.”“And you told her after the baby was born?” Matilda asked. “You should have kept quiet until we had everything settled.”“I thought she would accept it once she saw the baby was healthy.”Clara shook her hea
The words came out without hesitation. Rachael studied her face. “Are you sure?” Lydia gave a small, bitter smile. “I've never been more certain of anything.” “Good.” Rachael reached for her hand and squeezed it. “Then we'll do it properly. I'll help you find a lawyer, and we'll make sure they don't take advantage of you.” “Thank you.” “Stop thanking me for doing what any decent friend would do.” Rachael brushed a tear from Lydia's cheek. “You don't have to face this alone.” Lydia leaned back against the cushions, closing her eyes for a moment. The exhaustion was beginning to catch up with her. Her body needed rest, but her mind refused to settle. Every time she closed her eyes, she remembered the hospital room, Williams's cold expression, and Clara standing beside him with that innocent smile. She had loved that man. She had loved him enough to convince herself that his indifference was temporary, that his family's cruelty was something she could endure, and that one
