About

In the quiet aftermath of tragedy, Ellie Pruitt clings to the memory of her lost child, her heart still raw three years later. But on what should be a day of remembrance, everything shatters when she discovers her husband, David Delgado, in a lavish garden, cradling another child—celebrating a birthday that should have been her own. The laughter of a little boy mingles with her grief, and with each heartbeat, the questions grow louder: Who is this child? What has David been hiding?

As Ellie grapples with the betrayal, she finds herself caught in a web of deceit and denial, where every smile from David feels like a dagger twisting in her heart. With the help of her best friend Lucinda, she gathers evidence that could unravel the life they’ve built together. But the stakes are high; confronting David could mean losing everything she thought she knew.

In a world where love can turn to betrayal in an instant, Ellie must navigate the treacherous waters of trust and heartbreak. Will she uncover the truth before it’s too late? Or will the facade of their perfect life prove too strong to break?

He Stole My Baby and Gave Her to His MistressChapter 1

On the third anniversary of my baby's death, David Delgado said he'd go with me to visit the grave.

I felt bad about how many back-to-back shifts he'd been pulling, so I offered to pick him up myself.

When I opened the GPS, my breath caught.

There were two home addresses pinned to the top.

One was our place: Unit 9, Nebula Heights.

The other was Number 7, Emerald Bay Villa.

It had been pinned there for three years.

My phone buzzed. A message from him: "Meeting ran long. Next year, okay?"

Outside the window, his familiar Maybach flew past.

By the time I came back to my senses, I was already parked at the entrance to the villa district.

Emerald Bay was the most exclusive neighborhood in the city. As far as I knew, David didn't own any property here.

"You're looking for Mr. Delgado? And you say you're his wife?" The security guard let out a short laugh. "Give me a break. Everyone here knows Mr. Delgado and his wife. They've been living here five, six years now. Young lady, you really ought to find something better to do with your time."
