All Chapters of Pregnant Mistress Upstairs, Wife Out for Revenge Below: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

Julian and I even argued a little over the crib, though in the end, I gave in.Now, that very crib, the one he had called extravagant and impractical, was sitting here in the home he had prepared for another woman and her child.On the low cabinet by the crib sat a digital photo frame, the pictures looping one after another. One photo caught my eye. It was taken at a ski resort.Julian was dressed in a bright yellow ski suit, holding Hazel from behind. She was wearing matching gear. Their heads leaned close together, their smiles wide and intimate, with snow-covered mountains stretching out behind them.That was just a month ago.He had told me his company sent him to Graceland for a week-long financial summit. He said he was so busy that he didn't even have time for video calls.Yet I was foolish enough to worry about him, sending messages every day, reminding him to take care of himself and to eat on time.So, this was his "financial summit"—holding another woman on a mountain

I hung up the phone. It felt like every drop of blood in my body had frozen solid.A scam. From the start, it had all been a carefully engineered fraud. Whatever self-made success and marital partnership nonsense Julian had spun was just lies.He had used my money not only to keep a mistress in the upstairs apartment and buy luxury cars but also to funnel my eight million dollars into a shell company under his family's control.From the very beginning, what I thought was our marital property had been nothing more than an asset pool for him and his family to siphon from.I didn't see it coming until today—and by now, everything had already gotten out of control.Rage and betrayal crashed over me like a tidal wave. But I couldn't fall apart. I needed clarity… and control.Suddenly, I thought of Julian's parents—that pair of seemingly refined, well-mannered elders.They had always praised me endlessly, calling me their family's lucky charm and admiring me for being both a talented

Guilt flickered across William's face, but a cold, authoritative composure quickly replaced it."Monica, I understand you feel wronged, but Julian has his own constraints in this matter. Our family is willing to compensate you. We've seen your contributions to the company over the years."As long as you agree to a divorce and voluntarily relinquish all your equity in JW Capital, we can offer you ten million, along with the apartment you're living in. That's more than enough to secure your financial independence for the rest of your life."Ten million dollars to buy three years of my life, to buy my stake in the company I helped build from the ground up, and to buy the dignity they had trampled on as if I were a fool.What a generous settlement.I laughed. "William, do you really think I'm still that easy target you can manipulate at will?"I stood up, my gaze sweeping coldly across every one of them. "Let me make this clear. Not only will I divorce him, but I will also reclaim ev

"The condition carries a 25% chance of being passed on to the next generation," I explained."Back when we went for our pre-marital medical screening, he bribed the doctor and obtained a clean bill of health. After we married, I was made to drink special tonics prepared by his mother under the guise of 'regulating my body', which ultimately affected my fertility."He was afraid that if we went through proper medical channels to try for a baby, his secret would be exposed."On the screen, a genuine medical report appeared, clearly showing Julian's name."He went to great lengths to find a pure-hearted woman, someone willing to bear his child outside of marriage, believing he could quietly secure his family line without anyone knowing."But what he didn't understand is that lies cannot produce a perfect life."The display shifted again, showing Hazel's profile alongside a medical history report of her family."Unfortunately, his mistress, Ms. Lowe, comes from a family that also ca
