He Dumped Me for His First Love , Now I'm the Billionaire's WifeChapter 1

It was April Fool's Day.

I handed my boyfriend a diagnostic report confirming his infertility.

I told him that no matter how treatment went, I'd be right there beside him through all of it.

He stormed out.

Then, out of nowhere, he came back carrying a baby, claiming it was his illegitimate child with his first love.

"Raise this kid nice and healthy, and I'll come back to marry you!"

With that, he took off on a trip around the world with his first love.

I had no choice but to bring the baby to the police station and help track down the child's real family.

Along the way, I found something genuine—a real relationship—and forgot about my ex entirely.

Until three years later.

I was browsing for gifts in a toy store when I ran into the two of them again.

Alex Delgado stared at the educational toy in my hand with a strange look in his eyes.

"You didn't actually take that joke seriously, did you?"

Layla Simmons rubbed her pregnant belly with a sly little smile.

"Since Felicia seems to like children so much, once my baby with Alex is born, I wouldn't mind letting the little one call you 'Second Mommy.'"

I blinked, then pointed straight at my ex-boyfriend's lower half.

"Wait—your infertility got cured?"

……

Silence.

As my voice rang out, every pair of eyes in the store swiveled toward Alex.

And the crowd, never ones to pass up good drama, dove right into the discussion.

"Kids these days, I swear. So young and already shooting blanks."

"This is exactly why they push for premarital health screenings—to catch con artists before they trick someone into marriage."

Being stared at and whispered about in the middle of a crowded store—Alex's face turned ashen. He whipped toward me and shouted.

"Felicia Pruitt! What the hell are you talking about?"

"Layla's father is sick. He wanted to see a grandchild before—I was just helping her out!"

"You're jealous over that? You don't have an ounce of empathy. Are you even human?"

At those words, Layla seemed to let out a breath of relief.

The panic on her face vanished in an instant, replaced by open contempt aimed squarely at me.

"Felicia, honestly. Even if today is April Fool's Day, not every joke is appropriate."

"You're lucky Alex is generous enough not to hold it against you."

"Any other man would've buried you ten times over by now."

I let out a cold laugh.

I'd never been one for jokes.
