Chapter 9
Eloise survived. When she came to, her mind seemed a little clearer.
She stared at me with those empty, dead eyes. “It’s you. You’re the bitch who killed my baby. You ruined everything when you came back and stole my life.”
I said calmly, “Eloise, I’m the real daughter. Everything you had should’ve been mine from the start.”
She tried to lunge at me from the hospital bed.
Thaddeus immediately jumped in front of me.
“Eloise, stop acting crazy!”
Seeing him protect me completely broke her.
Her voice cracked. “You said you’d love me forever. Was that all bullshit?”
Thaddeus wouldn’t even look at her. “That was kid stuff. It didn’t mean anything.”
“If you behave yourself, I’ll let you stay. But that baby? You never should’ve gotten pregnant in the first place.”
She could barely breathe. “So it was all lies. Then what gives you the right to beg Vivienne to take you back? You never loved her either.”
“Don’t forget–you’re the one who killed her baby. You’re the one who gave me the placenta.”
He totally lost it. “Shut up, you psycho bitch!”
Then he turned to me, desperate. “Viv, that’s not true. I fell for you the second I saw you. Don’t listen
to her.”
But I was already snuggled up against Garrett, completely unbothered. “Thaddeus, I’m over it. Tonight I’m disappearing from your world forever.”
‘We’ll never see each other again.”
He chased after my car like a maniac.

Chapter 9
But all I could focus on was the man adjusting my jacket for me.
Whatever strings Garrett pulled, Thaddeus completely vanished from my life.
I was sipping coffee in my garden when an elderly couple showed up.
My biological parents. They looked ancient–white hair, faces covered in wrinkles.
“Vivienne, our precious daughter! We’ve been looking everywhere for you.”
“Come home with us, sweetheart. We know we messed up.”
I didn’t even look up. “Sorry, but your daughter isn’t me—it’s Eloise. Security, please show them out.”
That was the last time I ever saw them.
The next news I got about them, I was already married to Garrett.
The Blackwood family had gone bankrupt. My parents both developed dementia and spent their days wandering around looking for their “real daughter.”
Thaddeus tried starting over in business but kept failing, getting humiliated left and right.
I knew Garrett was behind it, but I didn’t interfere.
Being protected felt pretty damn good.
Eloise completely lost her mind, constantly searching for her “baby.” One night, Thaddeus got
wasted and beat the shit out of her.
He ended up in prison. His life was completely ruined.
And me? My happily ever after was just getting started.
