Chapter 1

The moment I saw the photo, my blood ran cold.That was when it hit me.The woman more than a hundred thousand people were pitying was me.And the person behind that anonymous post could only be Chloe Walker, my best friend since childhood.[So what if you all keep cursing me out? The most you can do is talk trash behind a screen. Meanwhile, I drive a Bentley, live in a mansion, sleep with someone else's gorgeous husband, and basically have the life half of you wish you had!]The harsher the comments got, the less Chloe seemed to care. If anything, she only became more smug.[No one knows who I am anyway, so I might as well give you something even better.]Then she posted another photo.A broad-shouldered man stood with his back to the camera, shirtless. Even from behind, his build was enough to make people stare.Near one shoulder blade was a small birthmark.[Damn, you weren't kidding. Your best friend's husband is hot. Drop his number. I wanna be her best friend, too!][G

Chapter 2

Kyle sounded a little out of breath, and there was a faint edge of warning in his voice."You didn't change your mind, did you? We already have a boy and a girl. I can't stand the thought of you putting your body through another pregnancy. If you really love me, you need to make sure this is permanent. And get something from the doctor proving you can't get pregnant again."I didn't need to hear much more to know what was happening on the other end of the call.Fury shot through me, and I nearly confronted him right then and there.But I stopped myself.I couldn't let them know I had figured everything out. They had clearly been planning this for a long time, and if I tipped them off now, I would only give them time to cover their tracks.I clenched my teeth and swallowed my anger."It's done. You don't have to worry."Kyle's whole tone changed. The relief in his voice was impossible to miss."That's my girl. Come home. I'll make it worth your while."With that, he hung up al

"I had someone bring this back from overseas for you," Kyle said. "It's supposed to help with recovery after the procedure."I looked down at the box.The packaging looked expensive, but everything on it was written in a language I couldn't read.More importantly, the seal was broken. Someone had already opened it.I kept my face blank. I didn't reach for the box or say anything.Kyle's patience started to wear thin. The smile disappeared from his face, and irritation crept into his voice."Look, I know you did this for me, but don't take it out on me. I went out of my way to get you something and tried to make tonight special. If you're pissed at me, just say it."He grabbed his robe, pulled it on, and walked out, making a point of heading straight for the guest room.I took out my phone and searched the words printed on the box, but no matter how I phrased it, nothing useful came up.On impulse, I opened the anonymous post again.Chloe had added another update.[Those abs

I had never even liked diamond necklaces. Chloe was the one obsessed with them.Kyle only said that to make himself look like the perfect husband who spoiled his wife and did everything he could to keep her happy, while making me look like some ungrateful brat who was impossible to please.I had no interest in reading any more of the fake praise in the group chat. I left the chat, turned off my phone, and tossed it aside.I didn't sleep at all that night.The next day, I went to Dad's birthday party.The party was lavish. The ballroom was packed with relatives, family friends, and plenty of the company's business partners.The moment I walked in, I spotted Chloe.She wore a custom designer gown and stood beside Dad, chatting with him like she belonged there.Dad kept praising her, holding her hand and looking at her with more affection than he ever showed me.When Chloe noticed me, she smiled and said hi.I walked right past her without answering.Kyle was there as well, mak

The entire room went dead silent. Dad slammed his palm against the table."Emily, what the hell are you talking about? You really had to pull this in front of everyone? Do you have any idea how embarrassing this is?"Chloe recovered first. She quickly set down her wineglass and turned to Dad with a worried look."Mr. Rogers, please calm down. Don't let this upset you. Emily just had her tubes tied. She's probably emotional and not thinking clearly."Kyle's jaw tightened."Emily, I know you're upset, but this is too far. The kids are standing right here. They didn't do anything. How can you say something like that about them?"Murmurs immediately spread through the room.Several guests frowned at me, their expressions full of disapproval, as if I were the one who had suddenly lost my mind.I ignored them and mirrored my phone to the large screen at the front of the ballroom.The screenshots I had saved from the anonymous post filled the display.I looked straight at Chloe.

"We're settling this today! Nobody's leaving until we know the truth."I knew the relatives weren't stepping in because they cared about me. They just wanted to stir things up and see what they could get out of the fallout.Still, for once, their meddling worked in my favor.Dad finally snapped."Enough!"Kyle stopped in his tracks."If Emily wants a DNA test, then we're doing one. Today, we're finding out exactly who's lying, and who's been making a fool of this family."-Once the samples were collected, the testing staff packed everything up and left.The ballroom fell into a tense, suffocating silence.The guests clearly had no interest in sticking around after that. One by one, they got up, made their excuses, and left.Dad's face had gone gray. Just minutes ago, he was laughing and greeting guests. Now, he looked completely worn out.I sighed and stepped over to steady him. His whole body was trembling.Dad didn't say a word. He simply let me help him out of the ball

I ignored Kyle and Chloe and walked straight to Dad's bedside."Dad, the DNA results are back."Right in front of him, I tossed the report at Chloe and Kyle.Chloe looked down at it. She already knew exactly what it would say, but she still put on a show of shock."No… This can't be right!" She looked up at me, her face twisting with anger. "You rigged this, didn't you? You paid someone at the lab to fake the results just to frame me!"Kyle grabbed the report from her and scanned it. Then his face changed."This is fake. You set this whole thing up. You paid off the lab because you wanted to destroy me!"He ripped the report to pieces and threw them at my feet."I've had enough!"He jabbed a finger in my direction, his voice rising."What the hell do you want from me? You want me to beg? You want me to get on my knees? What do I have to do before you stop accusing me of this?"His shouting was loud enough to draw people from the neighboring rooms to the doorway."We've been

Dad said calmly, "I may be old, but I'm not senile. I only pretended to pass out because I wanted to hear the truth straight from your mouth."Chloe froze, staring at him as if she couldn't believe what she was hearing. Then her face twisted, and she suddenly lunged at me."This is all your fault! I'll kill you!"The bodyguards waiting outside rushed in and grabbed her before she could reach me.Kyle went pale."Emily, I know I screwed up. I let Chloe manipulate me, and I made choices I can't take back. But I never meant for things to go this far. I'm not asking you to forgive me. I'm asking you not to wipe me out completely. We were married for years. That has to count for something!"I looked at him and felt nothing but disgust.I took out the divorce papers and tossed them onto the table in front of him."You cheated on me and helped an outsider plot against my family. Don't use our marriage as leverage now that everything's fallen apart. Sign the divorce papers. You're le
