I had been married to Adrian Foster for six years when I finally conceived his child. However, the doctor’s reaction upon hearing Adrian’s name left me frozen. "I clearly recall that Mrs. Foster already gave birth to a son here two years ago. She’s a famous actress, and she and Mr. Foster made the perfect couple." I stared at her in disbelief. "What are you talking about? We’re legally married. We have a certificate!" "There’s no mistake. Mr. Foster is someone notable, and he doted on his wife. He was always by her side." I stormed out of the hospital in anger, but my hope was shattered when the lawyer confirmed that my marriage certificate was a forgery. The world tilted into darkness. My ears rang, my surroundings blurred, and I could no longer hear a thing. At last, I understood. He had never been my husband. He had never once looked forward to the child growing within me. With shaking hands, I dialed my family’s number, and in my heart, I swore that this merciless liar would burn in hell.

Adrian’s eyes bulged in disbelief."You dared to scheme against me? Lauren, why? You always loved me the most…"He lunged, trying to grab me, but Shane and the police were faster, pinning him to the ground.I removed the recording earpiece and miniature camera, handing them back to the officers. Then, I stepped closer to Adrian, my voice steady and cold as I said, "You should have known this day would come the moment you swapped my supplements for birth control. Adrian, no one loves you. No one ever will."His face twisted as I delivered the final blow. "You thought seeing me outside the house was an accident? No. That was your retribution beginning. Now go to hell."It had all been part of my plan.I knew once Adrian discovered Liam, his so-called "son", wasn’t his, his mind would crack. Rage would consume him, and afterward, he would desperately cling to the memory of the child I had once carried, deluding himself with the hope of rewinding time.That was when I allowed the

Unfulfilled Promises Chapter 7
Stepping once more onto the streets of Westbridge, a storm of emotions surged through me.A little inquiry was all it took to learn that Adrian had drowned himself in grief, consumed by the belief he had lost the love of his life. He neglected the Foster Group entirely, and even he and Chloe had grown hollow and estranged.I laughed coldly.If Adrian had ever cared enough, how could he not have noticed that the corpse was not me?If even a shred of conscience had remained in him, would my child have been reduced to nothing more than a pool of blood?I had already ordered a DNA test report to be placed neatly on the desk in his study. By now, he should have seen it.Sure enough, the Foster mansion soon blazed with lights.Suspicious as he was, Adrian would never take anything at face value. He would insist on doing his own test, and in the end, he would discover the truth: Liam was not his son.My suspicion had first been sparked by how Liam so perfectly mirrored Chloe’s featur

On the third day in the basement, I was rescued.It was Shane Ryland, my mother’s personal bodyguard. He had once been a mercenary. He was broad-shouldered, sharp-eyed, strong, and resourceful.After marrying Adrian, I had all but cut ties with my own family. My mother, Margaret Hayes, had always said the Fosters only valued me for the Hayes family’s wealth and that Adrian had married me for advantage. She never approved of the silent way he swept me into his home.In anger and pride, I severed my bond with them. Looking back now, I see how foolish that was.Even while speaking harshly, Mom continued to funnel support to the Fosters’ business as she was always fearful that I’d suffer in their house.So she had secretly stationed Shane in Westbridge to protect me, which explained how he reached me so quickly.Following her orders, Shane bribed the nanny and the gatekeepers, swapping me with a corpse of similar build. That was how I escaped.Sadly, my body had been neglected too l
