He Betrayed the Wrong Wife

"I thought I was the Conti family's "legitimate wife."Until the day I saw it with my own eyes, my husband, Christian, resting his hand on my stepsister Emma's bump belly, gentle like he was cradling the future.Everyone told me to be "big-heated": when the baby was born, they'd put it under my name, make him call me Mom, because the family needed an "heir."Even the private doctor they hired announced it in front of everyone—steady heartbeat, and from the ultrasound, it looked like a boy.I didn't cry and didn't make a scene.I just picked up the phone and told my lawyer to initiate the divestment.Twenty-four hours later, Christian's cards were frozen, his projects got their loans yanked, and assets started getting seized—That's when he finally understood: he hadn't betrayed a wife.He'd betrayed the lifeline of the entire family.But what I really wanted to know was—When he dropped to his knees and begged me to come back, would I tell him— I had already picked out his grave?"
