Chapter 7: Unmasking the Imposter.
POV: Ahn Jae-hyun (ML)
I had ignored the signs for too long.
Ji-ah's hesitation, her forced smile, the way she avoided my touch sometimes—something was off.
But the DNA test confirmed it.
The woman in front of me was not my wife.

A Dangerous Game
I remained calm.
If I confronted her now, she would deny it.
Instead, I needed proof.
So, I played along.
"I guess this test isn't always accurate," I said, forcing a chuckle. "Maybe we should take another one at a different hospital?"
Her face went pale.
Caught.

The Trap
That night, I watched her closely.
She made a phone call when she thought I was asleep.
I followed her.
She went to an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city.
And there, I saw her meet another woman.
A woman who looked exactly like her.
Kang Ji-ah.

The Real Ji-ah
POV: Kang Ji-ah (FL)
I was locked in a room for days.
My own sister—Kang Seo-ah—had taken my place.
My mother, the woman who had abandoned me, had returned only to use me.
They thought they had won.
But they underestimated Ahn Jae-hyun.
Because when the door finally opened…
It wasn't my sister.
It was him.

The Escape
"Jae-hyun?" My voice was hoarse.
He looked furious. "I should have realized sooner."
He pulled me into his arms.
"I'm getting you out of here," he said.
The door behind him slammed open.
Seo-ah and our mother stood there, their expressions shocked.
It was time to end this game.
