Chapter 1

• Aurora’s POV
• "Ah! Liam, harder! I'm coming!"
• “Oh baby, stop sucking, you’re so tight, I’m cumming!”
• I heard the sounds of my baby’s father and another woman.
• The 4D ultrasound image of my unborn baby in my hand slipped and fell to the ground. I had gone for a prenatal check-up today and could already see the baby's features. So, I quietly went to my fiancé Liam's apartment, planning to surprise him.
• Little did I know, it was him who surprised me.
• I knew the woman's voice very well!
• It belonged to my sister Scarlett!
• My fiancé Liam and my sister Scarlett were rudely making love in bed.
• They were so engrossed that they didn’t even notice I had returned!
• I still couldn’t believe what I was seeing. My hands clenched into fists, veins bulging on the backs of my hands, and I shouted at the two of them who are rolling around passionately in bed:
• “What are you doing?! How dare you?”
• Tears blurred my vision.
• “Aurora? Why are you here? Damn it!”
• Liam was startled by my yelling. He quickly pulled a blanket over Scarlett.
• Then he hastily put on his underwear, got out of bed, and grabbed my hand, pulling me to the living room.
• “Aurora, why are you back? Didn’t you say you wouldn’t be back until tonight?” Initially, there was panic on Liam’s face when he saw me, but it was quickly replaced by impatience.
• “Liam, how shameless must you be to say something like that? I’m eight months pregnant, and our baby will soon be here. How could you do such things! Even with my sister?!”
• I was furious, shaking all over. I threw the baby’s another 4D ultrasound picture at his face.
• “Watch your language, Aurora,” Liam cruelly stomped on the ultrasound picture, then stepped forward, grabbing my chin and sneering coldly, “You should be grateful I’m even willing to acknowledge this bastard!”
• “What bastard? What do you mean? Who’s the bastard? He is your baby!”
• I stared at him in shock, unable to believe that the man I had loved for so many years not only cheated on me but was also slandering me and my child!
• I trembled all over, tears streaming down my face.
• “That is...”
• “My dear sister, it’s you who’s shameless.”
• Before Liam could finish, a familiar voice came from behind me. I stiffened and turned around.
• There she was, Scarlett Wayne, my so-called sister, walking out of the room with her large, wavy hair, wearing a tight red dress that flaunted her curves.
• Scarlett pulled down her neckline, revealing the many love marks left by Liam.
• Seriously speaking, Scarlett and I are not biological sisters.
• I am the true daughter of the Wayne family, not Scarlett.
• My mother couldn't conceive naturally due to health issues, so she opted for IVF. However, St. George's Hospital made a mistake with the embryos during the procedure.
• Scarlett was implanted into my mother, while I was implanted into another woman. It wasn't until I was 18, they discovered the mistake and I was then sent back to the Wayne family, to my biological parents.
• But my return didn't change anything. Scarlett was more favored by our parents, and I always felt like an outsider in my own home, almost invisible. The only source of warmth for me was my fiancé, Liam.
• We fell in love three years ago and then got engaged. I always thought we would be happy together forever, but I never imagined he would betray me with Scarlett!
• “Aurora, the baby in your belly isn’t Liam’s.”
• I was stunned. "What are you talking about?"
• After saying this, Scarlett laughed uncontrollably, then continued to mock me, "You keep saying you love Liam, but you don't even know what his body looks like?"
• Scarlett's words struck me like a thunderbolt, leaving me completely dazed.
• She was right, that night...
• Eight months ago, I had first night with Liam. That night, Scarlett, Liam, and I were drinking at the bar. They left for a while, and I seemed to have gotten drunk. When I woke up the next day, I found myself in a hotel room, completely naked with Liam. I thought it was really him.
• I had assumed...Liam might have become more muscular as he matured, or maybe I was too dazed to realize that the man that night seemed stronger than Liam.
• Scarlett's malicious reminder suddenly made me recall that, besides his figure, the man that night indeed had many differences from Liam...
• Scarlett came closer to me and whispered so only I could hear.
• "In fact, what happened to you that night was all my doing. That night you drank the spiked wine I gave you, you were so desperate with desire. I had two strong men take you from the bar to the hotel room. But you escaped from them and ended up in a random man's room."
• Scarlett stood away and said louder,
• “Out of guilt, Liam claimed it was him that night! Who would have thought you, such a bitch, would be so ungrateful, now trying to marry him using the child? Aurora, if I were you, I'd take the bastard child and go back to the countryside instead of embarrassing yourself here!"
• "You..." I trembled with rage, unable to hold back any longer. I grabbed Scarlett's wrist tightly.
• "Enough! I've been the father to the bastard in your belly for eight months, you should feel grateful!" My fiancé harshly yanked my hand away, preventing me from touching Scarlett.
• "Why her?" A choked sob escaped my throat, my voice hoarse. "She's my sister!"
• "Scarlett and I have been secretly together for a long time. She really knows what I want. With Scarlett's help, we even secured the Herald family contract," Liam said loudly, his pride stabbing deep into my heart.
• "You know the status of the Herald family," Liam laughed shamelessly. "Do you know what it means to partner with them? You stupid woman only ever held me back.I’ve long been unwilling to endure this, it’s Scarlett who has always felt sorry for you and stopped me from revealing the truth."
• I felt my world collapse.
• "Yes, she made you keep it a secret from me until my poor child was born, and then you two could be together. That way, my child and I would be completely ruined, right?! You, and you, all of you will pay for what you've done!" I yelled, pointing at them, my vision blurred by tears.
• Scarlett had not only taken over my identity and stolen my biological parents but now had also taken my fiancé!
• My fiancé, who always claimed to love me, betrayed me for fame and fortune, even allowing others to frame me!
• I was even eight months pregnant and didn't know who the father was!
• I covered my face, my body shaking violently, despair consuming me.
• Without another word, I turned and walked away without looking back.
• I wandered aimlessly on the streets, completely unaware of my surroundings.
• The traffic became increasingly heavy, and I walked forward numbly.
• At that moment, I heard a car horn. Looking up, I saw a luxury car heading straight for me.
• I suddenly realized I had wandered into the middle of the street. Protecting my belly, I cursed under my breath, stumbling backward. Just before the car could hit me, it swerved sharply, performing a perfect drift.
• The car screeched to a halt beside me. The window rolled down slowly, revealing the person inside.
• He sat with his long legs casually crossed, his tailored suit accentuating his broad shoulders and slim waist.
• In the dim moonlight, he seemed to be eternally cloaked in frost. His expression was cold and arrogant, like a medieval king.
• The man seemed to sense my gaze. Suddenly, he lifted his deep, ocean-blue eyes, his icy, penetrating stare boring into me.
• "If you want to die, don't dirty my car."
