“Chantelle Bently, you’re a murderer! Why are you still alive? You should have been the one to die!”

Daniel shoved her away with anger, his face as dark and empty as the black suit he wore.

Chantelle was caught off guard and lost her balance, falling hard onto her pregnant belly. 

The pain was unbearable, and she cried out as her body trembled.

Chantelle shook her head desperately. “I told you, it wasn’t me! It was Kate!”

In a trembling voice, she pleaded, “Daniel, how many times do I have to say this before you believe me? I didn’t betray your family or the Wilson Group Of Companies, and I didn’t cause your grandfather’s death.”

Anger and resentment appeared in Daniel’s eyes as he threw the divorce settlement in Chantelle’s face. “Sign this now! From this day forward, I’ll make you pay a thousand times for everything you’ve done!”

The sight of the document struck Chantelle like a dagger to her heart. 

Her whole body froze as if she had been cast into the icy wastelands of Hell.

Her twin sister framed her, and her perfect family was destroyed on Christmas Eve.

Things got worse when her husband handed her a divorce agreement. A month later, rumors spread that she had died in prison from depression.

Six years later, she returned with a new face to take her revenge. She was beautiful but dangerous.

Daniel felt both devastated and irritated when he saw the mysterious woman. She had the same name as his dead ex-wife, whom he hated most and the one he believed was responsible for his grandfather’s death. 

Despite his anger, he couldn’t deny the strong attraction he felt toward her.

In fact, he was fatally obsessed and addicted to her, and the anger that had controlled him for six years slowly started to crumble.

Kate's eyes were red and filled with a silent plea.

Before he could say anything, the child in his arms shrank back. He looked at her carefully.

"Daddy's here with me today. Can I not sleep in the attic?"

"There you go, talking nonsense again. When have I ever made you sleep in the attic?" Kate quickly responded.

The child almost exposed her away.

Luckily, she calmed herself and kept her voice gentle.

Daniel, however, wasn't fooled by Kate's tricks.

The look on his face showed he wasn't buying it.

"Don't listen to Rai's nonsense, Daniel. How could I ever make him sleep in the attic? He's the precious child of this house. I'm also his aunt. I wouldn't treat him badly. Please believe me!"

Kate absolutely hated the brat in front of her.

She wouldn't have locked him in the attic if he hadn't stayed wide awake during the storms and ruined her sleep. Out of sight, out of mind, as they say.
