All Chapters of A Ceo's Sin, A Hidden Heir: Chapter 1 - Chapter 7

★★★★ "You are lying to me!" Edith cried. Her tears gushed as she faced her horrible mother-in-law, fury twisting in her heart. "You are fabricating everything. From the day I arrived at this house, you have done everything possible to make my life miserable. Don't pretend otherwise!" She raised her finger at her mother-in-law and unleashed all the pain she had kept hidden within her until today. "Well, you are not the choice for my son," Freya said coolly, "how could I like you? You were never his choice. If my late husband had not forced him into this marriage, my dear Jamie wouldn't spare you a second glance." "But where is my fault in this?" Edith shouted. "I didn't choose your son. All I am doing is to have a perfect marriage with him and love this family, but in exchange, what am I getting?" Edith clenched her fists tight. "Nothing but endless tears." "It is your fault, darling," Freya smiled, the corner of her lips moved upward a little- a smile born of cruel satis

★★★★Edith stared at him.Every Instinct inside her screamed to run, to leave this place to escape from this stranger.But she knew the moment she stepped outside, her misery would wrap around her again.“Hey,” the man said again, mistaking her silence for distraction. He offered a faint, careful smile. “May I join you?”Edith blinked slowly, her gaze still unfocused, as if she was struggling to decide whether she even cared enough to answer.“You can sit,” Edith said at last though every nerve inside her resisted the decision.The man took the seat across from her with an easy smile. “I am Henry.”Then he gently slid a glass toward her. “This is for you. I noticed you were alone. Is it your first time here?”Edith gave a small nod, her gaze drifting down to the drink.“Hmmm,” she murmured, barely audible.“It’s just wine,” Henry added lightly. “If you would prefer something else, I can order it for you.” His tone was polished.Edith continued staring at the glass, gazing for more tha

★★★★★ The following morning came heavy and unforgiving for Edith. Her body ached as if something massive had crushed her during the night, like a bulldozer had rolled over every bone and muscle she possessed. Even breathing felt exhausting. With great effort, she pushed herself into a sitting position. The movement sent a sharp throb to her head, forcing her to press both hands against her temples in an attempt to ease the pounding ache. Fragments of memory flickered through her mind. The drink. The poison that man had mixed into it. She had taken only a single sip. “Damn!” She cursed under her breath as her eyes flew open in sudden horror. Slowly almost cautiously she turned her head toward the other side of the bed to see the person lying there beside her. She failed to see the man's face last night because of the drug that blinded her vision. She could not remember the voice either. "Damn!" However, when she looked at her side, the space was empty. The sight sta

★★★★Five years later"Mom, why don't you dismiss the PR team of yours," said a little boy with bright big green eyes. The soft locks falling over his forehead gave him an irresistibly adoring look. It wouldn't be wrong to say he was the cutest being walking in the lobby."I don't see that as necessary," Edith said as she dragged her son as fast as she could, her face covered by a mask and wearing a cap, which shielded her features quite well. She was careful not to get noticed by the unfortunate people from her past."Why not?" The boy grumbled, "Look at the news on the website. The woman who blamed you that day has given a clean look to the media while your team hasn't even proved that you are innocent. I feel angry.""Okay!" Edith stopped right in front of the angry guy and crouched to face him. She took the mask off her neck and smiled."You shouldn't be angry about this, Peter. Sometimes we have to ignore things to have better days. And .. and," she paused, her smile faltering sl
