From Stand-in to Heiress: The Lies of My Billionaire Husband Exposed by Me novel Chapter 9

"Darling, I was wrong. I didn’t know you were the daughter of the Shelton family. Please forgive me, okay?"

"We’re married. For the sake of all we’ve been through, let’s make up. I promise I’ll treat you better."

I gave him a cold snort.

"Your idea of ‘better’ is hiding your identity, making me sign a prenup, forcing me into a tiny room for three years, working three jobs to pay your debts, making me take cheap abortion pills, and refusing to let me go to the hospital when I bled out? That’s your ‘better’?"

My words caused everyone around us to gasp.

"Who knew Carter was like this? Spending millions on a mistress while his wife nearly died? Only a monster would do that."

"The richest man in New York faked poverty for three years to test his wife? That’s terrifying."

My brother tightened his grip on me.

"Carter, the Shelton family’s princess—and this is how you treat her?"

He then turned to face Carter’s grandfather.

"From today, the Shelton family will cease all cooperation with the Blaine family."

"And let me be clear—anyone who works with the Blaines is against the Sheltons"

Overwhelmed, Carter collapsed to his knees.
