The Seven-Year Scam: My Daughter is My Husband's Mistress's ChildChapter 1
Seven years after marrying Viggo, I discovered that my daughter Cruella, whom I had raised for six years, was Viggo's child with another woman, and that I was just their surrogate mother.
On set, I watched with my own eyes as Cruella let go of Viggo’s hand and ran happily toward a woman.
The moment I saw her face, I stopped breathing.
Carmilla. Back in college, she spread some rumors that I wore fake crap, that I could only have this much money by screwing some old man.
She even spread rumors that I was selling myself—made a price for a night—flooding my phone with harassment messages asking if I’d service them.
Now，Viggo naturally wrapping an arm around her shoulders, then leaned down and kissed her cheek.
“I’m late. Did you wait long?”
Carmilla smiled and kissed him back, her tone intimate. “The last scene just wrapped. Perfect timing. Didn’t you say you booked a hotel?”
“Mm,” he replied. “It’s our tenth anniversary. We can’t be careless.”
Tenth… anniversary?
I stood in the shadows, my entire body turning numb.
Nine years. That’s how long I’d even known him...
At that moment, my heart went completely empty.
That night, my husband slid a document across the table. A divorce agreement dressed up like some bullshit business contract.
He planned to take the mansion, the company, even the gifts I got during our wedding and still expected me to keep slaving away, raising a child for him and his mistress like some obedient idiot!
He thought he could trick me into signing the divorce papers and leaving me with nothing.
What that shameless man didn’t know was that I had already changed the terms.
But soon, he'll understand what it feels like to lose everything.
After signing the papers, I turned around and left, going back to my room.
I picked up the phone and called overseas.
“Dad,” I said, “I’m getting divorced. I’ll come home. I’ll inherit the family estate. When I get back, I will sue Viggo and make him return all the investment money my family has made over the years!”
This time, I am no longer a woman asleep in the illusion of love.
As a woman who understands the truth, I will become a rising queen and reclaim everything!
