Chapter 1 The Perfect Husband

Ever since Harrison Westbrook found out I was pregnant, he had become much more attentive.He returned home on time, ordered the staff to prepare nutritious meals for me, and even took walks with me around the garden after dinner.To anyone else, we seemed like a loving married couple.Penelope Harrington also came by the house often. She would affectionately link her arm through mine, call me Katherine, and tell me all sorts of things about caring for a baby, as if she were genuinely happy for me.Once, she even stroked my belly and asked innocently, "Katherine, can I be the baby's godmother when he's born?"I looked at her pure, innocent face and felt my stomach churn.I smiled. "Sure, as long as Harrison agrees."Harrison stood nearby, watching us with a gentle smile. "Penelope loves kids. Of course she can."They put on one little loving display after another right in front of me, performing their fake acts, while I played along with their performance.I suppressed the dis

Chapter 2 Too Late

Harrison hadn't finished speaking when a panicked scream suddenly came from the other end of the line. "Ah! I twisted my ankle, Harrison! It hurts so bad!"Then came Harrison's anxious voice. "Penelope! How could you be so careless? Don't move. I'm coming right over!"He quickly said to me, "Katherine, call yourself an ambulance. Penelope's hurt. I need to get her to the hospital first!"He hung up without another word. The line went dead.I lay on the cold floor, the pain in my abdomen growing more and more intense.I quickly called 911.I didn't know how I managed until the ambulance arrived. The moment they lifted me onto the stretcher, everything went dark, and I lost consciousness.When I woke up, I was already in a hospital room. The harsh white lights made my eyes ache, and the sharp smell of disinfectant filled the air.My lower abdomen was flat, and the little life that had once given me a glimmer of hope was gone.A nurse walked in and spoke softly. "You're awake, Mr

Chapter 3 Blood Debt

Harrison held a bouquet of white roses, with a carefully measured look of remorse and sorrow on his face."Katherine, I'm sorry. This was all my fault. That day, Penelope—""Don't." I cut him off. "I don't want to hear it."He was taken aback, as if he hadn't expected me to be this cold."I'm sorry about the baby," he continued. "But we're still young. We can still have children."I looked at him and suddenly laughed. "Harrison, do you really think you can smooth everything over with money and a few half-hearted apologies?"He frowned. "Katherine, what exactly do you want?""What do I want?" I looked him straight in the eye. "I want you and Penelope to pay in blood."With that, I pushed him aside and walked straight out of the hospital.The sunlight fell on my skin, but I couldn't feel a trace of warmth.When I returned to the villa that was supposed to be home, I began my performance.I locked myself in my room, refusing to eat or drink, crying day after day as I played the

Chapter 4 The Truth About Harrison

My voice was shaking."I was only suspicious at first," Adrian said in a low voice. "That changed when my team found someone who knew what happened back then—the head nurse who delivered Victoria's baby. She retired a few years ago and now lives in the country.""What did she say?""She said Victoria did give birth to a boy, but he was born with serious health problems and died within a few days. That same day, another baby boy had been abandoned at the hospital."A former vice president of the hospital and Penelope's mother worked together to make it happen. They switched the babies and passed the abandoned child off as the Westbrook family's son and heir."I was too stunned to speak.So Harrison wasn't just a fraud. He was a complete impostor. His status, his wealth, his reputation—everything he had wasn't actually his."What happened to the vice president?""He was arrested for taking bribes a few years ago. He later died of an illness in prison.""And Penelope's mother…"

Chapter 5 The Fall Begins

Over the course of that month, I became a completely different person.I stopped crying and stopped shutting everyone out. Instead, I began dressing myself carefully and reappearing at social events.I smiled at Harrison. I was warm and attentive, as though the pain of losing our baby had finally passed, and as though we'd gone back to being polite strangers to each other.Harrison was very pleased with the change in my attitude. In his eyes, his wife had finally come to her senses.With his guard down, he poured even more of his energy into the future he was planning with Penelope.He even started bringing Penelope to semi-public business events, quietly signaling something to the outside world.Meanwhile, Penelope grew bolder by the day.She wore my clothes, used my perfume, and whenever Harrison wasn't around, she sat in my seat, staring at me provocatively."Look, Katherine. Don't Harrison and I look great in matching outfits?""Katherine, Harrison gave me this perfume. He

Chapter 6 The Show Is Just Beginning

The real show was just beginning.Halfway through the annual gala, Marcus, my so-called father-in-law, stepped onto the main stage.He delivered an impassioned speech before turning to the crowd with a smile."Tonight isn't just the Westbrook Group's annual gala. I have one more important announcement to make."He paused and looked toward Harrison, his eyes filled with a father's pride and affection."Starting next month, my son, Harrison, will officially take over as CEO of Westbrook Group and take full control of its operations!"Thunderous applause erupted from the crowd.Harrison straightened his suit, wearing a polished smile as he prepared to take the stage.He had finally gotten what he'd been waiting for. He'd spent so long planning and scheming, all for this moment.He stopped beside me and lowered his voice. "Watch closely, Katherine. From now on, I'm the one calling the shots in the Westbrook family."He could barely contain his smug satisfaction.I smiled at him,

Chapter 7 The Heir Exposed

The moment Penelope's mother saw the head nurse, she let out a scream and crumpled to the floor.It was all too obvious now.With everyone watching, the head nurse shuffled onto the stage, trembling, as she told them everything that had happened all those years ago.She told them about the true heir who had died as an infant, and the vile plot to replace him with another child.When Marcus heard this, he could no longer hold himself up. He gasped for breath, then collapsed backward.The banquet hall erupted into chaos.I watched the spectacle unfolding before me with cold detachment, watching Harrison fall from heaven into hell.The expression on his face shifted from shock, to fear, and finally to utter despair."No, this isn't real… I'm a Westbrook! I'm the one who belongs here!" he muttered to himself, looking almost deranged.I walked over to him and bent down, whispering into his ear so softly that only the two of us could hear."Harrison, remember that stormy night? My

Chapter 8 What They Lost

What should have been Harrison's crowning moment ended in a scandal of epic proportions and a complete farce.Marcus suffered a stroke right there and was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.Harrison, the once high and mighty fake heir, was thrown out of the Westbrook mansion on the spot by the furious Westbrooks, like a stray dog with nowhere to go.The divorce process went remarkably smoothly. The Westbrooks, feeling guilty over what had happened, gave me a substantial settlement, along with all the property I was entitled to from the marriage.Meanwhile, Harrison was cast out with nothing.The luxury cars, the mansion, the bank accounts—everything he had once possessed vanished overnight.He seemed unable to accept reality and became completely unhinged.He started calling and texting me incessantly. At first, it was nothing but curses. Then came the desperate pleas."It's all my fault, Katherine. I'm responsible for everything that happened. Please forgive me."

Chapter 9 A New Beginning

Adrian stopped in front of a clean gravestone.There was no photograph on it, only a single line of words. "Here Lies Katherine's Beloved Son.""What is this?" I asked, puzzled."I had this gravestone made for your child—the one who never got to see the world." Adrian's voice was soft. "I thought he should have a place where he could rest in peace."My tears burst free.For more than a year, I'd forced myself to forget. I'd forced myself not to think about that child. I thought that as long as I never mentioned him, the wound wouldn't hurt.But Adrian had remembered him for me.He remembered my hurt, remembered my pain, and in his own way, gently helped soothe them.I buried my face in his arms and finally let out all the grief I'd been carrying for more than a year.He simply held me in silence, gently patting my back as though comforting a child who'd been falsely accused.On the drive home that day, the setting sun painted the sky a warm orange.Soft music played in the c
