Chapter 1 Husband's ex-fiancee returns.

Ellie woke up with a start; she rubbed her tired eyes and looked at the wall clock.

It was past ten o'clock at night.

Ellie walked into the kitchen, looked at the cold dishes on the table, and reheated each dish; her movements were skillful as if she had done it countless times. While doing so, she thought, "He's coming home late again today."

The phone rang, breaking the quiet night. Ellie stopped what she was doing and walked out to the living room. She looked at the strange number on the phone screen, frowned slightly, but still pressed the answer button.

Without waiting for her to ask, the caller spoke first, "Richard's wife, right? Come here and take him home; he's passed out drunk."

It was a girl's voice, and although she couldn't see her face, Ellie could hear her impatience through the sound.

The girl gave an address and immediately hung up, not giving Ellie a chance to refuse.

Ellie was a little suspicious; something like this had never happened before.

She and Richard got married by accident. That year, his fiancée ran away before the wedding day; he didn't want to lose face in front of everyone, so he found another girl to be the bride; Ellie was the chosen girl.

At that time, Ellie's grandmother had a traffic accident and needed urgent surgery. The cost of the surgery was an amount that a poor person like her couldn't afford. Therefore, she agreed to marry Richard.

Ellie knew this marriage was just a transaction; the two had no feelings for each other, but in her heart, she was genuinely grateful to Richard because his timely appearance brought her a ray of light.

But life was still not easy for Ellie because, in everyone's eyes, she was not worthy of Richard.

Richard Winthorpe comes from the Winthorpe family - one of the five wealthiest families in the country. Since childhood, he has shown outstanding excellence compared to all children of the same age; at the age of eleven, he was exposed to the business world; at the age of fifteen, he completed a major project and was hailed as a business genius by everyone; at the age of twenty, he was able to manage several companies skillfully, had a solid reputation in the financial world, and was a sought-after young businessman; After that, he gradually developed, bringing his name to a new height.

His identity value lies not only in his talent but also in the Winthorpe family behind him. In just a few years, he will officially inherit the family, own a fortune of hundreds of thousands of billions, and become the wealthiest billionaire in the country.

Therefore, the girl who lost her parents at the age of 6 was picked up by a poor older woman who grew up in the slums - Ellie is not worthy of him.

The two are two different worlds; one is in the sky, and the other is in the abyss.

Ellie quickly drove to the address the girl said. It was a famous four-star restaurant in the city. After telling the banquet room number, Ellie was led by the waiter.

The door opened, and inside was an ample space beautifully decorated with many balloons and flowers; the atmosphere was bustling with laughter.

Looking in the direction of the noise, Ellie immediately saw Richard being surrounded by people. They were noisy, cheering in unison: "Kiss her, kiss her, kiss her..."

At this moment, Ellie noticed that it was not only Richard who people surrounded but there was also a beautiful girl beside him.

The scene looked like a successful proposal, and the main couple was cheered by everyone to 'kiss.' Ellie would feel happy and blessed if the male character were not her husband.

It took a few seconds for Ellie to remember who the beautiful girl was. She was so surprised that she froze on the spot.

At this moment, someone in the crowd discovered Ellie standing stunned at the door and shouted: "Who are you? Why did you barge in here?"

The voice attracted everyone's attention, and they looked curiously towards Ellie.

Someone quickly recognized her and said, "Isn't this Richard's wife?"

All eyes turned towards Richard.

Richard frowned slightly; he was also surprised when Ellie appeared here; a feeling of guilt arose in his heart as if he had been caught cheating by his wife. But that feeling only appeared for a second and then disappeared because Richard did not think he was wrong; on the contrary, he felt angry because he thought Ellie was following him.

He asked in a low voice: "Why did you come here?"

The simple question carried a majestic and annoyed aura that calmed Ellie. She looked at Richard awkwardly; her panicked mind made her not know how to answer.

Everyone looked at Ellie with eyes watching a comedy; the gossip did not hide the malice aimed straight at her.

"Oh, what's going on? Richard's wife came here to fight? Does she have the right to do that?"

"How did she know Martha was back and come here? Can she compare to Martha?"

"She was afraid that Richard would return to Martha and abandon her, so she came here to cause trouble. Did she want to embarrass Martha?"

"Don't exaggerate; she is Richard's wife, after all. Aren't you afraid that Richard will be angry with us?"

"What's there to be afraid of? She's just Richard's toy. Now that Martha is back, Richard will abandon her."

"She's just Martha's substitute!"

All the gossip reached Ellie's ears, and when she saw the words on the wall behind everyone, she finally understood what was happening to her.

Martha – Richard's fiancée, who ran away 6 years ago, had returned. The people here were her and Richard's friends; they were holding a party to celebrate her return.

Ellie shouldn't have been here as a substitute, but someone deliberately played a trick on her by calling her here so that everyone would misunderstand that she wanted to disrupt the party.

This was not the first time Ellie had been trapped like this, but it was when Ellie felt the most awkward because a stuntman stood in front of the main character; it felt ridiculous.

Martha took a few steps forward, smiled gently at Ellie, and said softly: "Don't misunderstand; nothing happened between me and Richard. I came back today; he just came to congratulate me a little. Since you've come, stay and play with us."

Today, Martha was the main character, so she deliberately dressed very gorgeously, with delicate makeup, her gestures exuding the nobility of a noble lady; on the contrary, Ellie wore a loose long coat, and everyone could vaguely see that under the coat was a simple nightgown, her face was bare, her hair was messy.

Standing beside each other, the contrast was more prominent; Ellie looked more miserable.

Martha's words seemed to relieve Ellie, but in fact, it was to confirm that Ellie came here to cause trouble out of jealousy.

"No, I didn't know you were back..." Being criticized by everyone, Ellie regained her composure and blurted out an explanation; before she could finish speaking, Richard pulled her out.

The door closed, the crowd's chatter was blocked, and Richard's deep voice rang in Ellie's ears.

"You should go home!"

From the moment she arrived here, seeing Richard and Martha together, being attacked by everyone with insults, discovering that she was trapped but unable to explain, Ellie felt indignant and speechless.

At this moment, Richard showed coldness and impatience, wanting to chase her away; she knew he also believed those people's words. "Listen to me, and I didn't know you were having a party here. Someone called me..."

Once again, her explanation was interrupted by the door suddenly opening, a young man sticking his head out, urgently calling Richard: "Richard, Martha is injured."

Richard's expression immediately changed; he resolutely turned around and entered the room, leaving Ellie with a choked voice.

Looking at Richard's back until the door slammed shut, Ellie couldn't believe it; in the past 6 years, she had never seen Richard look so panicked.

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.

I was finally brought back to the billionaire Vance estate after years in the grimy foster system, but the luxury Lincoln felt more like a funeral procession. My biological family didn't welcome me with open arms; they looked at me like a stain on a silk shirt. They thought I was a "defective" mute with cognitive delays, a spare part to be traded away. Within hours of my arrival, my father decided to sell me to Julian Thorne, a bitter, paralyzed heir, just to secure a corporate merger. My sister Tiffany treated me like trash, whispering for me to "go back to the gutter" before pouring red wine over my dress in front of Manhattan's elite. When a drunk cousin tried to lay hands on me at the engagement gala, my grandmother didn't protect me-she raised her silver-topped cane to strike my face for "embarrassing the family." They called me a sacrificial lamb, laughing as they signed the prenuptial agreement that stripped me of my freedom. They had no idea I was E-11, the underground hacker-artist the world was obsessed with, or that I had already breached their private servers. I found the hidden medical records-blood types A, A, and B-a biological impossibility that proved my "parents" were harboring a scandal that could ruin them. Why bring me back just to discard me again? And why was Julian Thorne, the man supposedly bound to a wheelchair, secretly running miles at dawn on his private estate? Standing in the middle of the ballroom, I didn't plead for mercy. I used a text-to-speech app to broadcast a cold, synthetic threat: "I have the records, Richard. Do you want me to explain genetics to the press, or should we leave quietly?" With the "paralyzed" billionaire as my unexpected accomplice, I walked out of the Vance house and into a much more dangerous game.
