Discarded Wife, Powerful Heiress Rises

I walked in on my husband caressing his pregnant mistress' s belly. In my own home. But the real betrayal wasn't his affair. It was when he, his mother, and even my own parents declared my pregnancy a "complication" that needed to be erased for a multi-billion-dollar merger. They locked me in my penthouse and dragged me to a clinic. My own mother and father sold me out for a check, signing off on the procedure to get rid of my baby. "It's time to cleanse the bloodline," my mother-in-law said as they held me down. As the needle went into my arm, I felt my child, the one I'd prayed for, being stolen from me. They didn't just break my heart; they murdered my baby. But they didn't know who I really was. Rescued by my true family-the powerful Pittmans-I learned I wasn't a discarded wife. I was a kidnapped heiress. And now, I will use every bit of my power to make them pay for the child they took from me.

Alyssa Bolton POV:

I pushed the plate away, my stomach churning at the thought of food. "I don't want a croissant, Chase. I want an explanation. A real one. Not this charade."

Chase sighed, a performance of long-suffering patience. He glanced at Clementina, who gave him a subtle nod. Indiana, meanwhile, dabbed at her mouth with a napkin, observing us with thinly veiled amusement.

"Alyssa, we can discuss this later," Chase said, his voice low, a warning. "In private. There's no need to make a scene."

"No need to make a scene?" I felt a hysterical giggle bubble up. "You bring your pregnant mistress to my home, announce her child is the family heir, and then tell me not to make a scene?" I finally stood up, pushing my chair back with a loud scrape against the polished floor. The sound echoed in the opulent dining room.

"I can't do this." My voice wavered, but my resolve solidified. "I can't pretend everything is fine. I can't sit here and watch you play happy families with her."

"Alyssa, where are you going?" Chase demanded, his eyes narrowing.

"Away from here. Away from you. Away from this." I turned and walked out of the dining room, my heart pounding a frantic rhythm against my ribs. I expected him to follow, to stop me, to at least try to explain. He didn't. The silence behind me was deafening, confirming my worst fears. He chose them. He chose the lie.

I walked through the silent halls of the penthouse, the place that had once been my sanctuary now felt like an opulent prison. Every expensive artwork, every designer furniture piece, felt like a monument to his betrayal. How could I have been so blind? So desperate for his love that I ignored all the red flags? I questioned every moment, every touch, every whispered promise. Was it all a performance?

I reached the master bedroom, our bedroom, and began to pack a small bag. Just the essentials. I wasn't sure where I was going, but I knew I couldn't stay. My hands trembled as I folded a sweater, a vivid memory of Chase buying it for me, telling me how beautiful I looked in blue. Lies. All lies.

A sudden knock on the door startled me. Chase stood there, leaning against the doorframe, looking almost repentant. "Alyssa, wait. Let's talk. Please."

Reborn Heiress: My Ruthless Tycoon’s Revenge

I lay on the wet asphalt, the cold rain mixing with the metallic taste of blood pooling in my mouth. My lungs were heavy, filling with fluid as my life ebbed away. Through swollen eyelids, I saw my lover, Clovis, and my stepsister, Alanna, standing over me with looks of pure triumph. "Thanks for the trust fund, sister," Alanna whispered, shoving a phone screen in front of my dying eyes. The headline was a jagged blade to my soul: Caesar Williamson, the "tyrant" husband I had fled from, was dead in a multi-car collision. He had died trying to rescue me, thinking I was in danger. The realization shattered what was left of my heart. The man I had spent years painting as a monster had driven into hell to save me, while the man I thought was my safety was the one who had just crushed my ribs with an iron bar. I had played right into their hands, ruining my reputation and my marriage for a lie. I watched them walk away, leaving me to choke on my own blood in the dark, discarded like a bag of trash. I wanted to scream, to beg the universe for a rewind button, to tell Caesar I was sorry. The darkness pressed down on me, heavier than the betrayal, as my world finally went black. Then, I was screaming. I shot up in bed, gasping for air like a drowning woman breaking the surface. I scrambled at my abdomen—smooth skin, no blood, no tear. I grabbed my phone and saw the date: it was three years ago, the morning of my wedding to the Williamson estate. I didn't waste a second. I scrubbed the "unstable" makeup from my face, threw on a white silk dress, and blocked the man who would eventually kill me. This time, I wasn't running away from the manor. I was going back to the husband I had once feared, ready to save the only man who had ever truly loved me.
