Chapter 1

---

For five years, I hid my true identity as a billionaire CEO, choosing to live a simple life with my wife, Naomi. On the morning of our fifth anniversary, she surprised me with a positive pregnancy test. I was flooded with joy. Finally, I’d be able to tell her everything, to come clean about the life I’d hidden, to share in the happiness of this moment as a family. But just as I prepared to reveal my truth, a notification on her phone caught my eye.

It was from her first love, Ben. He was terminally ill, and the words on the screen sent a chill down my spine.

“I’m endlessly grateful to my ‘forever friend,’ who’s offered to bring my child into this world just before I leave it,” read his post. Attached were a sonogram and a picture of the two of them in a tight embrace.

The million-dollar necklace I had hidden away for her sat heavy in my pocket. My heart felt cold, and instead of joy, anger began to take over. With a twisted smile, I typed, “May this loving family always be happy!” and left it at that. Then, I made a decision. I proposed a divorce to Naomi that night.
