The Fake Wife's Billionaire Heiress Comeback

“Chloe went to the Records Office to get a copy of her marriage certificate, hoping to end a petty cold war with her husband of two years. Instead, the clerk looked at her with bored pity and stated there was no record of them. Her marriage was a fake; her certificate was a counterfeit. Panicking, she rushed to Julian's executive office, only to overhear him comforting her former college advisor, Seraphina. "Julian, we've been secretly married for five years," Seraphina cried. "How much longer do I have to wait?" "Darling, it's almost over," Julian's soothing voice echoed. "As soon as the IPO is complete, I'll 'divorce' Chloe. She got us the investors we needed. Her purpose is served." Chloe's blood turned to ice. For two years, she had endured his mother calling her a "barren hen." She had forced down bitter herbal teas and cried in the dark, believing his gentle lies that she was defective. Every shared meal, every whispered promise, was a meticulously crafted scam to use her as a disposable tool. But Julian didn't know that Chloe had just received a life-altering call from an estate lawyer. She is not a humble orphan. Her biological father, the legendary billionaire Marcus Sterling, had just passed away and named her the sole heir to his entire empire. A terrifying calm washed over her as a cold smile touched her lips. The game was on.”
