The CEO’s Fake Son My Divorce Triggered His Downfall

Twenty years of a childless marriage by choice—and then my husband, Duke Delgado, suddenly decided he wanted to adopt.

After the paperwork was finalized, he turned to me with a casual shrug. "Oh, I forgot to mention—Brandon Hale is actually my biological son."

"Got a girl pregnant a few years back. She's dead now, so I had to bring him home."

The air left my lungs. "Then what was the point... of twenty years of us agreeing not to have children?"

"Consider yourself lucky?" Duke handed me a pen like we were discussing dinner plans.
