Falling For My Fathers Son

The Ghost Wife's Billion Dollar Tech Comeback

Huo Wuer

Today is October 14th, my birthday. I returned to New York after months away, dragging my suitcase through the biting wind, but the VIP pickup zone where my husband's Maybach usually idled was empty. When I finally let myself into our Upper East Side penthouse, I didn't find a cake or a "welcome home" banner. Instead, I found my husband, Caden, kneeling on the floor, helping our five-year-old daughter wrap a massive gift for my half-sister, Adalynn. Caden didn't even look up when I walked in; he was too busy laughing with the girl who had already stolen my father's legacy and was now moving in on my family. "Auntie Addie is a million times better than Mommy," my daughter Elara chirped, clutching a plush toy Caden had once forbidden me from buying for her. "Mommy is mean," she whispered loudly, while Caden just smirked, calling me a "drill sergeant" before whisking her off to Adalynn's party without a second glance. Later that night, I saw a video Adalynn posted online where my husband and child laughed while mocking my "sensitive" nature, treating me like an inconvenient ghost in my own home. I had spent five years researching nutrition for Elara's health and managing every detail of Caden's empire, only to be discarded the moment I wasn't in the room. How could the man who set his safe combination to my birthday completely forget I even existed? The realization didn't break me; it turned me into ice. I didn't scream or beg for an explanation. I simply walked into the study, pulled out the divorce papers I'd drafted months ago, and took a black marker to the terms. I crossed out the alimony, the mansion, and even the custody clause-if they wanted a life without me, I would give them exactly what they asked for. I left my four-carat diamond ring on the console table and walked out into the rain with nothing but a heavily encrypted hard drive. The submissive Mrs. Holloway was gone, and "Ghost," the most lethal architect in the tech world, was finally back online to take back everything they thought I'd forgotten.

Anna sat on her bed, pondering on what the next five years of her life would be like. Turning 22 was like a big thing for her. She just turned 22 few days ago. She thought of a life with a boyfriend, living comfortable and happy, but all that didn't work for her. She felt everything wasn't working the way she dreamt of. Even though her dream of living independently worked, she wasn't still happy.

The blaring sound of the electric kettle from the kitchen was what drew her out of her trance as she ran to the kitchen to put off the switch and make coffee for herself. She didn't have work today, so she decided to stay at home and relax. She rented the apartment 3 weeks ago after she got called for the job she acquired online. She never believed online job opportunities were real until she was given one, all thanks to Rebecca, her best friend who convinced her to apply for it.

She went back to the sitting room and switched the TV on to watch some movies on Netflix. She so much loved movies with passion. There was a time she had to pay 10 bucks only for a movie.

The sound of her apartment's door drew her attention out of the movie she was watching as she mumbled to the door. When she got there, she opened it and saw the house agent. He was the man who brought her to her apartment. He works as a caretaker.

"Good morning Mr Ray." She greeted him, acting all sleepy.

"Morning Miss Anna. How are you doing today?" He asked her, shining his yellow gap toothed teeth.

"I'm ok Mr Ray." She replied, giving a fake smile.

"Well........I came to inform you that you have a new neighbor who lives next door." He told her.

"Oh! That's nice." She said looking outside her apartment.

"Yeah and I think you two will make good neighbors." He said before waving as he left. Anna rolled her eyes as she banged the door.

"Such an asshole." She cursed as she went back to her movie.

3: pm in the evening ( that same day)

After Anna's siesta, she decided to go for an evening work. She wore a pink crop top and a black leggings with a grey jacket. After checking if she was ready to go, she came out of her apartment and locked the door. She majestically walked out of the building and went into the streets. She walked for a while before arriving at a beautiful restaurant.

It had beautiful lights that complimented with the night. It was open and filled with people, which many of them were couples. She gulped down saliva as she went into the restaurant and sat down on an empty booth. A male tall, handsome waiter came and took her order not forgetting to flirt with her a little.
