Chapter 1

My ex-husband died in a tragic accident at sea, and I was branded as a widow-maker.

Even my grandfather issued a statement severing ties with me.

In my despair and loneliness, I nearly lost my life.

The icy sea water chilled me to the bone, but Lucas Lee saved me and gave me love.

On our wedding night, I was shocked to realize he was my ex-husband's brother, but it was too late to change my mind.

After three years of trying, I finally got pregnant. He rushed back from across the ocean overnight to celebrate with me.

In my fifth month of pregnancy, he conspired with his cousin:

"Brother Lucas, can you really keep your promise and switch our babies?"

"Of course. From then on, our child will inherit the Gray family's vast fortune."

"What about your child with her?"

"That bastard is lucky to be alive. Two layers of protection couldn't stop it!"

"Send it to an orphanage. Stella Gray is just my brother's leftovers! The child she bears doesn't deserve to be in my sight!"

Is that so? Then neither the child nor the man needs to stay.
