On the day my twentieth IVF cycle was declared a successful implantation, my husband, Adrian Whitmore, signed a share transfer agreement beside my hospital bed.
Ten percent of Whitmore Group.
And an appointment letter putting me in charge of a seven-figure project.
He held my hand and murmured that he would protect the baby in my womb no matter what.
That night, I overheard his childhood friend calling him in French.
“”Adrian, are you really going to keep lying to her after putting her through IVF all these years?””
“”If she finds out her marriage certificate is fake, and that you and her sister Chloe Shaw are the legally married couple, she’ll break.””
Adrian thought I was asleep. He stood with his back to me by the floor-to-ceiling window, his voice low.
“”She brought this on herself. She wanted to go back to the Shaw family and take what belongs to Chloe. She even called Chloe an illegitimate daughter.””
“”So I’ll make her raise Chloe’s child for the rest of her life. That’s her punishment.””
“”Once the child is registered under her name, where can she run, even if she learns the truth? Without me, who will give her resources?””
“”I can’t give her a real title, but as a mistress, I’ll keep her by my side for the rest of her life.””
My heart went cold. I stared into the darkness, pressing a hand over my mouth so I would not sob out loud.
He did not know that three days earlier, the doctor had told me the diagnosis was wrong.
Our twentieth embryo transfer had failed completely.
The trump card he was so proud of, the one he thought could keep me trapped, had never existed.
