After years away, Emma went back to her biological family, expecting a warm welcome. Instead, she found herself arranged to marry Ricky, known for his grumpiness and rumored disability, rather than her adopted sister taking that role. Ricky wasn't happy about the arrangement. "You can stay if you wish, but you'll only be my son's nanny," he coldly stated. Despite his unwelcoming attitude, Emma stood her ground. "Ricky, I've chosen you, and I'm not changing my mind." As time passed, Ricky's hostility softened as he started to develop feelings for Emma, slowly uncovering a secret.  What was Emma's true identity?  A CEO, a hacker, a musical prodigy, a racer... Then, one day, Emma, puzzled, asked, "Ricky, why does your son keep looking more and more like me?"

The Two-Faced Lady Who Stole My Heart Chapter 1 One Night Stand

Standing before the imposing door of a presidential suite, Emma Bradley glanced down at the room number displayed on her phone. Confirming it matched the one engraved on the door, she hesitated briefly before extending her hand to knock.

However, as her fingers landed on the door, it swung open of its own accord.

Surveying the spacious suite, Emma found it eerily vacant, illuminated by dim lighting.

"Nobody's here?" she murmured, a furrow forming on her brow.

When she turned around to leave, her gaze fell upon the file clutched in her hand.

Remembering her father's instructions over the phone to deliver it, she hesitated for a moment before deciding to proceed into the suite.

Barely had she stepped across the threshold when a peculiar fragrance assailed her senses. Before she could react, the door behind her slammed shut with a resounding thud. Startled, Emma whirled around, only to find herself ensnared in the embrace of a pair of strong arms, pulling her close.

"Who are you?" Emma demanded, her voice tinged with apprehension as she struggled against the unfamiliar grasp. But her efforts were feeble, and a wave of dizziness washed over her.

In a haze, she felt the press of lips against hers.

Pressed firmly against the wall, her hand unexpectedly brushed against a switch, plunging the entire suite into darkness with a single flick.

Silenced by the man's kiss, she couldn't make a sound.

Heat surged through her, surrendering her to a whirlwind of passion as she lost all semblance of control. She soon mirrored the impatience of the man trapping her.

Their lips locked, their bodies intertwined in a frenzy of desire. Before they could reach the bedroom, they succumbed to each other's touch on the living room floor. They melded together repeatedly, their passion knowing no bounds.

Morning dawned, and Emma struggled to rouse herself, her body drenched in a cold sweat.

"Thankfully, it was just a dream..." she murmured.

However, her relief was short-lived as a sense of unease washed over her.

Turning her head slowly, her gaze fell upon a handsome face.

As her shock subsided, she realized that the man lying beside her was completely naked.

To her surprise, there was an automatic wheelchair beside the bed.

Last night's escapade wasn't a dream! It was real! She had slept with an attractive yet disabled stranger!

Her thoughts were a mess; she wasn't mentally prepared for the aftermath.

As the man's eyelashes fluttered, hinting at waking up, panic surged through Emma. Acting on instinct, she hastily grabbed her scattered clothes, put them on, and made a swift exit through the window.

On the way home, Emma gradually regained composure and couldn't help but feel that something wasn't right.

She had been sent to deliver a file by her father. Yet upon arrival, she was drugged and later found herself entwined with a stranger.

The odds of such a coincidence seemed quite unfathomable to her.

Emma couldn't shake the feeling that her father was somehow involved.

Caught in a deeply humiliating situation, she grappled with the realization that her own father had effectively sold her to an unknown man.

Emma couldn't fathom the reason behind his actions and felt sad.

Lost in thought on her journey home, Emma felt disconnected from her surroundings. As soon as she stepped into the house, she was met with an unexpected sting as her mother, Suzanne Bradley, delivered a sharp slap across her face.

Emma winced, her cheeks ablaze with pain.

"Where have you been? Why have you returned at this time?" Suzanne's cold stare bore into Emma, the contempt in her eyes slicing through like a sharp blade. "How did you get those hickeys on your neck? If I had known you were a slut, I wouldn't have bothered bringing you back from the countryside. It's utterly disgraceful."

Emma brushed off Suzanne's words, turning her attention to her father Shawn Bradley with a cold stare. "Why bother asking me? It was Dad who tasked me with delivering the file. Didn't he arrange everything?"

She scrutinized Shawn's face intently, not wanting any change in his expression to escape her.

When she saw the unmistakable guilt etched on his features, fury surged within her.

She also felt a wave of disappointment and heartache wash over her.

Emma had been trafficked at a tender age. Recently, her birth parents found her and brought her back to their home.

Initially, she had hoped for affection from her parents. However, upon her return, she discovered they had already adopted another girl her age, and realized there was no place for her in the family.

"Since things have already come to this, I have nothing to say." Shawn evaded her gaze and continued in a commanding voice, "Considering you have already been intimate with Ricky Johnson, why not marry him instead of Renee and seal the alliance between our families."

Emma's shock turned to realization as she connected the dots. The man she had been with last night was the "legendary" son of the Johnson family, who was rumored to have fathered a child out of wedlock.

Shawn and Suzanne were keen on ensuring their adopted daughter didn't end up with a disabled man. However, they didn't want to relinquish the fortune the Johnson family could bring them. Therefore, they brought her back from the countryside.

Rain hammered against the asphalt as my sedan spun violently into the guardrail on the I-95. Blood trickled down my temple, stinging my eyes, while the rhythmic slap of the windshield wipers mocked my panic. Trembling, I dialed my husband, Clive. His executive assistant answered instead, his voice professional and utterly cold. "Mr. Wilson says to stop the theatrics. He said, and I quote, 'Hang up. Tell her I don’t have time for her emotional blackmail tonight.'" The line went dead while I was still trapped in the wreckage. At the hospital, I watched the news footage of Clive wrapping his jacket around his "fragile" ex-girlfriend, Angelena, shielding her from the storm I was currently bleeding in. When I returned to our penthouse, I found a prenatal ultrasound in his suit pocket, dated the day he claimed to be on a business trip. Instead of an apology, Clive met me with a sneer. He told me I was nothing but an "expensive decoration" his father bought to make him look stable. He froze my bank accounts and cut off my cards, waiting for the hunger to drive me back to his feet. I stared at the man I had loved for four years, realizing he didn't just want a wife; he wanted a prop he could switch off. He thought he could starve me into submission while he played father to another woman's child. But Clive forgot one thing. Before I was his trophy wife, I was Starfall—the legendary voice actress who vanished at the height of her fame. "I'm not jealous, Clive. I'm done." I grabbed my old microphone and walked out. I’m not just leaving him; I’m taking the lead role in the biggest saga in Hollywood—the one Angelena is desperate for. This time, the "decoration" is going to burn his world down.

I had just survived a private jet crash, my body a map of violet bruises and my lungs still burning from the smoke. I woke up in a sterile hospital room, gasping for my husband's name, only to realize I was completely alone. While I was bleeding in a ditch, my husband, Adam, was on the news smiling at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. When I tracked him down at the hospital's VIP wing, I didn't find a grieving husband. I found him tenderly cradling his ex-girlfriend, Casie, in his arms, his face lit with a protective warmth he had never shown me as he carried her into the maternity ward. The betrayal went deeper than I could have imagined. Adam admitted the affair started on our third anniversary-the night he claimed he was stuck in London for a merger. Back at the manor, his mother had already filled our planned nursery with pink boutique bags for Casie's "little princess." When I demanded a divorce, Adam didn't flinch. He sneered that I was "gutter trash" from a foster home and that I'd be begging on the streets within a week. To trap me, he froze my bank accounts, cancelled my flight, and even called the police to report me for "theft" of company property. I realized then that I wasn't his partner; I was a charity case he had plucked from obscurity to manage his life. To the Hortons, I was just a servant who happened to sleep in the master bedroom, a "resilient" woman meant to endure his abuse in silence while the whole world laughed at the joke that was my marriage. Adam thought stripping me of his money would make me crawl back to him. He was wrong. I walked into his executive suite during his biggest deal of the year and poured a mug of sludge over his original ten-million-dollar contracts. Then, right in front of his board and his mistress, I stripped off every designer thread he had ever paid for until I was standing in nothing but my own silk camisole. "You can keep the clothes, Adam. They're as hollow as you are." I grabbed my passport, turned my back on his billions, and walked out of that glass tower barefoot, bleeding, and finally free.

For two years, I was the invisible force behind tech billionaire Kieran Douglas, convinced that our "private" romance was his way of protecting us from the tabloid spotlight. I managed his mergers, warmed his bed, and waited for a future that didn't exist. The illusion shattered at 6:00 AM when a Page Six alert debuted Kieran’s "real" romance with socialite Aspen Schneider. Before I could even process the betrayal, Kieran sent me a cold, professional text: "Order flowers for Aspen. Pink peonies. Her favorite." When I tried to walk away, my own mother called me a disgrace and threatened to lock my inheritance forever unless I married a sixty-year-old businessman to save her failing estate. At a high-society gala that same night, Aspen intentionally crushed my burned hand in front of the cameras, while Kieran stood by and dismissed me as a "mediocre assistant" who had overstayed her welcome. I stood in the cold New York rain, drenched in champagne and humiliation, realizing that every sacrifice I made for Kieran was a joke. I was a ghost in a penthouse that was never mine, discarded the moment his "soulmate" returned. To the world, I was just a placeholder whose time had run out. But Kieran forgot one thing: my father’s multi-million dollar trust fund unlocks the moment I legally marry. I didn't need love; I needed a signature and a shield. I walked into a discreet law firm and signed a marriage contract with a man I believed was the city’s most notorious, scandal-ridden playboy. I thought I was marrying a degenerate "beard" to buy my freedom and secure my revenge. I didn't realize the man who signed that paper wasn't a playboy at all, but Gaston Collins—the most powerful and dangerous man on Wall Street—and he had no intention of letting our fake marriage stay fake.

I sat on the edge of the examination table, the crinkle of the sanitary paper sounding like thunder in the sterile room. The doctor didn't even look at me as he confirmed the news: the pregnancy was over. My husband, Keyon, didn't answer my call. He just sent an automated text: "In a meeting." When I returned to our cold mansion, I found his iPad glowing with a message from his "muse," Katina. He was throwing her a secret gala tonight-on our third wedding anniversary. He told her he couldn't wait to escape the "boring" and "draining" atmosphere I created at home. Keyon didn't stumble in until 3 AM, smelling of Katina's perfume with a smear of red on his collar. When I handed him the divorce papers, he laughed in my face. He called me a "glorified housekeeper" with no skills and no future, promising I'd be back in three days begging for a subway ticket. He even bet his friends ten thousand dollars that I wouldn't survive a week without his name. He had his assistant cancel my credit cards and block my gate access before I even reached the end of the driveway. He wanted me to starve. He wanted me to crawl. He sat in his office, mocking the "desperate" woman who pawned her three-million-dollar wedding ring for scrap metal just to pay for a meal. I stood on the rainy curb, watching the man I had protected for three years treat my life like trash. He didn't know about the ultrasound I just threw in the bin. He didn't know that while he was calling me "dull," I was the one secretly writing the code that kept his billion-dollar empire from collapsing. As I slid into a cheap Uber, I opened a hidden, encrypted app on my phone. The screen refreshed to a dashboard for an account Keyon didn't know existed. The balance was ten figures long-the accumulated wealth of "Solaris," the world's most elusive tech genius. Keyon thinks he just evicted a parasite, but he's about to find out he just declared war on the only person who can hit "delete" on his entire life.
