Chapter 1

The four of them instantly perked up, even letting out a sigh of relief.I scoffed and set my glass down hard."I'll take her place, but I have two conditions."Jared frowned. "Don't push it, Thea! Rory already stepped aside so you could take your place in the Twyford family. What else do you want?"I ignored him and looked straight at my grim-faced parents."First, transfer the fifteen percent stake in Twyford Corp Grandpa left me. Put it in my name now."Second, hold a press conference tomorrow morning and tell all of Borevia's elite that I'm the Twyfords' only biological daughter. Rory is the adopted daughter who was raised in my place."The living room went dead silent.Then Rory burst into sobs and collapsed into Jared's arms."Thea... Are you trying to kill me? I know I took your place for twenty years, but I never asked for any of this."If you want shares, I'll give you everything I have. But why do you have to humiliate me in front of all Borevia's elite...?""Rory,

The next morning, the Twyfords held a press conference.They announced that the two girls had been switched at birth and that their biological daughter would marry Axel Alwyn.The media went nuts. Everyone knew Axel was paralyzed, and the daughter the Twyfords had just found was already being shipped off to honor the engagement.No one was fooled. Rumors about the Twyfords spread fast, and even their stock took a hit.The lawyer handed me the share transfer papers. I checked every term, then signed.With that fifteen percent officially mine, I'd gotten what I wanted.As for what happened to the Twyfords?'What did that have to do with me?'The second the press conference ended, I grabbed my suitcase and headed out. Footsteps rushed up behind me."Thea, wait!"Jared caught up and grabbed my wrist."Did you really have to go this far? Do you even know how long Rory cried backstage after what you did yesterday?"I yanked my hand free. "Why would I care how long she cried? Are

At the last second, Axel—the guy who was supposedly "paralyzed and couldn't feel his legs"—shot out of his wheelchair!Before I could react, he lunged forward, grabbed me by the throat, and slammed me against the wall.Axel leaned in, his dark eyes murderous."Got a death wish?"His grip cut off my air, and my face turned red.But seeing him standing perfectly fine on both legs, I burst out laughing."Mr. Alwyn... having fun... faking your paralysis?" I forced out, staring straight into his pitch-black eyes.Axel's pupils constricted, veins popping on the back of his hand."You saw something you shouldn't have." His voice went ice-cold as his grip tightened. "I could strangle you right now and tell everyone you killed yourself because you couldn't handle the humiliation. The Twyfords wouldn't dare say a word.""Really?" I could barely breathe, but my smile only grew.I managed to lift a hand and lightly patted his tense arm."Killing me... would be easy. But if I'm dead, who

For the next month, I lived in Axel's bedroom.Even through the door, the servants could hear loud crashes and my muffled cries.But inside, it was a totally different story.I sat calmly on the couch, adjusting the slim electrode probes placed along the nerves in Axel's legs.The crashes? Axel was just smashing cheap vases to sell the act.Axel hissed as I adjusted the last probe, sweat beading on his forehead."You can feel pain now?" I raised a brow and handed him a towel.Axel wiped his forehead, his dark eyes lighting up. "Yeah. Feels like a thousand ants gnawing at my bones. Still beats feeling nothing.""That's good. Your nerves are reconnecting." I removed the probes. "Give it two more weeks, and you'll be walking normally."Axel watched me work with a knowing smile. "If people knew what you could do, every old guy in Borevia's elite circle would be lining up outside my door."I scoffed and packed up the equipment. "Flattery won't work on me. We had a deal. Your legs

The next night, the ballroom at The Montclair Royale—Borevia's most exclusive hotel—was packed.This wasn't just about the Alwyns naming a new heir. It marked a major power shift among Borevia's elite.The second I walked in, every eye turned my way."Isn't that the Twyfords' biological daughter? The one who married Axel instead of Rory? She actually showed up?""I heard Axel makes her life hell every day. She's probably here to beg the Twyfords for help.""Help? The Twyfords are Nolan's favorites now. Why would they care about the wife of a washed-up heir?"The whispers followed me, but I ignored them and headed straight for the champagne tower.Before I could grab a glass, Richard, Diane, Rory, and Jared surrounded me.Rory was decked out in a six-figure Paris couture gown and the pink diamond necklace Jared gave her, looking like a total peacock.Clinging to Jared's arm, she spoke loud enough for the whole room to hear."Thea, why'd you come alone?"Oh, right. I forgot. A

"Regret it? Why would we regret anything?" Rory looked at me like I was an idiot, ready to keep running her mouth.Just then, the ballroom lights dimmed, and a bright spotlight hit the stage.The room went dead silent.Nolan strutted onto the stage in a flashy white suit, every hair perfectly in place.He grabbed the mic, looking smug as hell."Thank you all for coming tonight."As everyone knows, my brother Axel was paralyzed in a car accident and can no longer run Alwyn Corp."For the future of the company, the board has unanimously decided that, starting today, I, Nolan Alwyn, will officially take over as chairman!"The room exploded in applause.Richard and Jared clapped the hardest, both wearing huge kiss-ass smiles.Nolan raised a hand, smugly quieting the crowd."I also have one more announcement. My brother's wife, Thea, is a terrible person and doesn't deserve to be part of the Alwyn family. So today, on my brother's behalf, I'm kicking her—"Bang!Before he could

That banquet was only the start of the Twyfords' and Jared's nightmare.The second Axel took back Alwyn Corp, he moved to shut Twyford Corp and Pritchard Corp out of the market.Corporate war could get way uglier than any fistfight.Within three days, Axel pulled every string he had. Suppliers dumped Twyford Corp, and the banks demanded their loans back immediately.Twyford Corp's stock tanked at the opening bell three days straight, wiping billions off its value.Pritchard Corp was even worse off. To suck up to Nolan, Jared had dumped every last dollar of available cash into that fake overseas project.Now Nolan was in prison, the scam had blown up, and Pritchard Corp had more debt than assets.Bankruptcy was next.I'd sold my fifteen percent stake and donated every cent before the crash. It was the only piece of the Twyfords' fortune that survived—and they'd never get it back.On the fourth night, Borevia got slammed by a downpour.Owen stepped into the living room. "Mrs. A

I leaned in and looked Diane straight in the eye."You think I don't know the truth about that so-called hospital mix-up?"Diane stopped crying. Her eyes widened in panic."Funny thing. The first day I came back, I checked the old records. There was no nurse mix-up. We were never switched at birth."You hired some fake fortune teller who said I was cursed. He told you keeping me would get you both killed and destroy the family fortune."So my own parents dumped me with relatives in the country and left me there."Then you paid an orphanage to give you Rory because that same fraud said she'd bring the family good luck and wealth. You raised her like a princess for twenty years!"I kept my voice calm, but every word hit hard."You abandoned your own daughter because of some ridiculous fortune teller. And now you wanna stand here and talk to me about family?"You don't get to."Get out. You're not welcome on Alwyn property!"That wiped out whatever fight Richard and Diane had l

Chapter 9

One month later.Axel's legs were fully healed. If anything, they were stronger than before.With Axel back in charge, Alwyn Corp cleaned up every mess Nolan left behind and doubled its market value.Late one night in the Alwyn estate's master bedroom, I'd just gotten out of the shower.Wearing a black silk slip, I stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows, casually towel-drying my wet hair.Borevia's city lights glittered below.Suddenly, strong arms wrapped around my waist from behind.Axel had just showered too, smelling like soap and his familiar cologne.He rested his chin against my neck, his warm breath brushing my ear and sending a shiver through me.He took the towel from my hand and gently dried my hair."What are you looking at?" His voice was low and husky."The skyline." I leaned back against his solid chest with a soft laugh. "The Twyfords are done, Jared's in prison, and Rory got what she deserved. It's weirdly quiet now that there's no one left to fight."Axel c
