Chapter 1 - The Fake Test
The freezing, torrential rain lashed against the massive stone pillars of the sprawling estate, but the storm outside was nothing compared to the absolute cruelty happening on the front steps. The heavy oak doors had been thrown wide open, spilling the warm, golden light of the luxury mansion onto the cold driveway. But Elena wasn’t allowed inside.
She was seven months pregnant, shivering violently in a thin, soaked maternity dress, clutching her swollen belly as the icy rain soaked her to the bone.
Standing safely under the dry, covered portico was her husband of three years, Richard. He was wearing a perfectly tailored velvet smoking jacket, holding a crystal glass of bourbon. Next to him stood Chloe, his glamorous, smirking secretary, wrapped tightly in the expensive cashmere shawl that Richard had bought for Elena’s birthday just a week ago.
Richard didn’t look at his pregnant wife with an ounce of pity. His handsome face was twisted into a mask of pure, unfiltered disgust. With a violent flick of his wrist, he threw a stack of crumpled medical documents directly into Elena’s wet face.
"Did you really think I wouldn't find out, you disgusting gold digger?" Richard yelled, his voice easily cutting through the sound of the thunder. "The DNA test proves it! That bastard child in your stomach isn't mine!"
Elena gasped, falling to her knees on the harsh, wet gravel. Her heart shattered into a million pieces. She knew exactly what those papers were. They were completely forged. She had never been with another man. She had loved Richard with every fiber of her being.

"Richard, please!" Elena sobbed, her voice breaking as she looked up at the man she thought was her soulmate. "That test is fake! I swear to you! This is your baby! Please, it's freezing out here!"
👉 Richard thought he was taking out the trash, but he didn't realize who was secretly watching this entire nightmare unfold from the shadows.
