Chapter 1 The Other Woman

I had just placed the fake marriage certificate on the living room table after arriving home when William Clark, my "husband," pushed the door open and entered. "Honey, I'm home. Did the baby give you any trouble today?"He opened his arms, wanting to hug me. However, he instantly froze when he caught sight of the marriage certificate on the table. "Why did you take the marriage certificate out?" he asked.I forced a smile and replied, "I'm thinking of finding some time to apply for Emmy's birth certificate."William immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "You don't need to worry about it. Just stay home, rest well, and take good care of Emmy."After that, he picked up the marriage certificate and hastily scurried to the room to take a shower.…Meanwhile, I sat on the couch, quietly recalling the memories we'd made throughout our marriage. My heart ached so much that it felt like it was being squeezed tightly by a merciless hand.Suddenly, William's phone, which he had placed

Chapter 2 Emergencies

Moreover, the fact that he chose Sophia of all people was beyond me.Sophia was the daughter of a housemaid at Clark Residence. Sophia had once tried to seduce William when he returned to Clark Residence. He immediately flew into a rage and kicked her out.Later, William brought her back to be his secretary and explained, "Sophia's mother has been working at Clark Residence for years. She even came to my mother for help, so I had no choice."I expressed my understanding at that time, but I never imagined that they had been married for seven years and had a six-year-old son.The sound of water in the bathroom gradually stopped. I quickly wiped away my tears, exited the chat, marked the message as unread, re-enabled the Read Receipts option in the settings, and put the phone back on the table. When William saw me still sitting in the living room after coming out of the bathroom, he was a little surprised. "Honey, are you tired? You seem a bit down."Although I was disgusted with

Chapter 3 Who Exactly Is the Wife?

Sophia's expression was filled with triumph as she said smugly, "It breaks William's heart to see Ethan feeling sad, so he has ordered that all medical experts and medicines in this hospital must be reserved for Ethan's dog. As for that liability of a daughter you gave birth to, I don't care if she dies."I didn't have time to waste words with her. I rushed over and forcibly grabbed the allergy relief medication from the medication cart next to me."Don't you dare!" Sophia screamed and stomped in anger. "Security! There's a lunatic here! Get her out of here right now!"My arms were restrained the next second. I kept staring intently at the medicine bottle, which was a stone's throw away, as I frantically tried to break free.Meanwhile, Sophia looked at me. Suddenly, she sneered. After that, she slammed the container of allergy relief medication hard onto the ground and crushed the pills with her heel. "I'd rather destroy these pills than give them to that bastard!" she remarked v

Chapter 4 The Kidnapping

As for the complete stranger, they left without even leaving their contact information after delivering the emergency allergy relief medication.How ironic!Once I got home, I summoned the housekeeper over and asked, "Who has come to visit recently?"She hemmed and hawed for quite a while before finally voicing her doubts, saying, "Mrs. Clark, only Ms. Lopez came."Then, she hesitantly handed me an opened sachet of hazelnut powder and added, "I found this next to Miss Emmy's baby food jar."I suddenly felt a chill run down my spine as a thought crossed my mind.'Emmy has always been allergic to hazelnuts. Does William know Sophia wants to kill Emmy?' I thought. 'Even if he knew, would he stand up for her?'I held Emmy tightly. At this moment, the empty villa was just as terrifying as a man-eating monster to me.Fortunately, I would soon be able to lead a new life with Emmy.When William returned from his "business trip," he immediately launched into a tirade. "Heather, you're

Chapter 5 His Choice

When his gaze settled on Sophia's cage, Emmy suddenly stopped crying in my arms and just stared at him wide-eyed like an abandoned kitten."I choose…" he spoke, his voice extremely hoarse. "I choose Sophia and Ethan."The moment the kidnapper removed the dagger, I heard the sound of my heart shattering.Emmy's lips twitched, and she burst into a heart-wrenching wail."Deal," the kidnapper opened the cage on Sophia's side. Just as he and his group were about to take Emmy and me away, William suddenly broke free of the restraints like a madman, rushed over, and hugged the iron cage. "Wait! I choose them! I choose Heather and Emmy!""Too late," the kidnapper sneered and walked to the corner with the cage.As we passed by William, I clearly saw the crimson rage in his eyes and the fleeting smugness on Sophia's lips.After some time, police sirens suddenly sounded from outside the warehouse.I held Emmy and curled up in a corner, trying to shield her from the chaos. As soon as my ne

Chapter 6 Divorcing Sophia

William had spent three whole days at the amusement park with Sophia and Ethan. The entire ordeal had given him nothing but a migraine.He believed Sophia when she told him that Ethan would definitely be traumatized after having just been kidnapped. That was why he had specifically turned down all work to play with him. Yet, Ethan was now as energetic as a puppy. In fact, he showed no signs of being frightened at all."Ethan, we've been hanging out for three days now. It's time to go home," said William.When he returned home, he knew he had one very important thing to do, which was to divorce Sophia.Whenever he closed his eyes these past two days, he would remember the heartbroken look in Heather's eyes the day he left the ward and feel a sudden sharp pain in his chest.He indeed struggled with the decision for a while when Sophia got pregnant."Mr. Clark, the doctor said I'll never be able to give birth again if I lose this baby!" Sophia sobbed uncontrollably as she clutched

Chapter 7 Ethan Isn't His Son

Heather was usually rather docile and was never one to throw tantrums. That was why William believed she was truly angry after seeing her packing her things and running away with Emmy.The thought of her with tears in her eyes and sulking at him stirred a hint of joy within him.'Isn't it precisely because she loves me that she cares?' he thought.William smirked, deciding to swallow his pride and give Heather a way out.…The next morning, he took the initiative to text Sophia. 'Bring your ID card and the marriage certificate. I'll meet you at the courthouse in half an hour.'He figured he should first break things off with Sophia cleanly and then help Emmy apply for her birth certificate and Social Security number as soon as possible. That way, Heather would eventually calm down.However, he received no reply from Sophia for quite a while. Thus, he called her, only to be greeted by a calm, robotic prompt, stating, "The number you have dialed is currently unavailable."William

Chapter 8 The Uninvited Guest

All of Sophia's assets were frozen. William contacted the vital records office and had Ethan's birth certificate information amended. As a result, Ethan was no longer associated with the Clark family.William even recovered all the money she secretly transferred and then charged her with "embezzling the company's funds," leaving her with massive debt on her shoulders.However, he became increasingly uneasy even after he was done dealing with Sophia.So, he drove to the local Social Security Administration office and rushed to the reception counter."I'm looking for a woman! Heather Johnson! Has she recently applied for her child's Social Security number? The child's last name is Clark.""What's the child's full name?"William froze at the staff's question."Uh… Well… All I know is that we call her Emmy," he answered, stammering all the way.After the staff searched through the database, they looked at him, and said with uncertainty, "There was indeed a woman named Heather Joh

Chapter 9 Why Him of All People?

Heather, come back to me, okay? Aren't we husband and wife?" he said. "I love you. You've always been the one I've loved!"I could barely stop myself from rolling my eyes. Nevertheless, I simply stared at William coldly, my gaze calm.It had only been half a month since I last saw him, yet he seemed to have lost all his spirits. His face was as white as a sheet, and there were dark circles under his eyes. Even his once neatly combed hair was a complete mess."Love me? William, do you even hear yourself?" I said. "You claim to love me, but you married another woman and had a child with her. You say you love me, but you allowed Sophia to ruin the projects that my father cherished so dearly."You tell me you love me, but not only did you condone her stealing Emmy's medicine, but you also chose your illegitimate son over Emmy! At the end of the day, you just want to have it all. You've never once loved anyone but yourself!"I didn't bother pulling my punches."Mr. Clark, Gideon and I

Chapter 10 Moved On

From this day forward, William and I were nothing to each other.I initially assumed that William wouldn't bother me after our exchange on my wedding day.Alas, I had severely underestimated his persistence.He would message me without fail or send me a gift every single day. The end result for all those gifts was the same because Gideon would throw them all into the trash with a scowl on his face.William stood at my doorstep under the heavy rain once. He shouted as he turned into a drowned rat, "Heather, please just meet me one last time., I'll just keep waiting here if you don't come out!"I was working in my study when the staff informed me about this for the third time."Mrs. Smith, that man is still here. He insists on seeing you. We can't get rid of him. Would you like to see him?"I remained silent for a moment. Eventually, I refused. Since he enjoyed standing outside so much, I don't see why I should stop him.Just then, Gideon knocked on the door and came in. He was
