When I was seven months pregnant, I accidentally overheard a conversation between my spouse and the struggling student I had been helping financially.
"Stephen, do you think your wife might become so enraged she'd end her life if she discovered the baby she's carrying is actually our fertilized egg?" Rosie said with a soft laugh.
"It would be preferable if she did. Then all her wealth would become mine," Stephen responded coldly. "The real issue would be if she chose to end our marriage and force me out. That's why we must keep this under wraps. Once our child inherits her fortune, we'll deal her a devastating blow."
That evening, I acted as if I hadn't heard anything. I gave birth to the baby and nurtured him with the utmost love and care.
Twenty-four years later, after my son completed his studies abroad, I transferred all my business shares and assets into his name.
At a media event, Rosie, once a poor student, now holding onto my husband's arm and clutching a DNA test report, approached me directly and announced, "Kian is my biological child. You've been keeping him from me all this time. It's time to return him to me now."
My son also tossed a divorce agreement at me, his words harsh and unfeeling. "Quickly divorce my father so we can finally be a family of three. Since you carried and raised me, I'll provide you with a monthly stipend of two hundred dollars."
I gave a slight smirk and replied, "Very well."

Raising My Rival's Baby, A Revenge Plan 24 Years in the Making

The following day, I headed to work as normal, but I couldn't help noticing everyone's gaze fixed on me.


I acted oblivious and first visited HR to inquire about Sofia.


Upon learning she had taken a personal day, I gave a visible grin before returning to my workspace.


My cellphone was inundated with apologetic texts and lengthy voice messages from Luke. I promptly blocked him without even listening.


Luke had been informed about the situation by acquaintances. Too afraid to show up at work, he first appeased Sofia before devising a strategy.


Ending the marriage wasn't feasible, at least for now.


His only asset was the beauty parlor, and due to constant withdrawals, the account was barely profitable.


The timing was poor, with several months remaining until the annual bonus.


Even if he desired a divorce, he needed to find a way to acquire Isla's business first.
