THE HEIR I USED TO BE
I thought marrying him would be my fairy tale ending. Instead, I became invisible.
For three years, I played the perfect wife to David Chen, cooking, cleaning, and donating blood whenever his first love needed it. I gave up everything: my identity, my family, my pride. All for a man who never once looked at me like I mattered.
Then came the photo. He was sleeping peacefully next to her. The text called me a homewrecker in my own marriage.
That’s when I realized I wasn’t his wife. I was just a convenient blood bank with a marriage certificate.
So I walked away. Signed the papers. Took back my life.
Now David’s calling, but I’m not answering. His mother’s threatening, but I’m not scared. Because I’ve got a secret that will shake this city to its core.
I’m not just Maya Lawson, the nobody who married above her station.
I’m Maya Lawson, heir to the Lawson empire, the richest family in the country.
And I’m about to show them all exactly what they threw away.
