The Stepsister Who Played Mother to My Own Son

Everything changed on my son’s fifth birthday—the day I discovered he wasn’t mine, and that I had never been pregnant.

Elias was the child of my husband, Adrian, and my stepsister, Seraphine. I overheard their betrayal one night.

Seraphine’s voice shook with anger: “When will you finally leave Vivienne? When can I truly be our son’s mother?”

Adrian’s icy reply hit me like a knife: “Don’t worry. Once the merger is done, Vivienne will never know. And if she finds out… I’ll just give her the same medicine I used before. She’ll believe anything I say.”
