“Mr Baron , I am sorry, but the DNA test results came back negative” the doctor informed Andrew, his voice laced with sympathy.
“ Which means I'm not Winnie’s father? Andrew asked, staring at the doctor with wide eyes , hoping that he'd refute what he had just said and confirm that it was a mistake. But —it never came. And for the first time ever , he was short of words, he opened his mouth to say something, but no words came forth . His heart was heavy with dread, and he could feel his heart banging against his chest. “Mr Baron , we've had similar cases in the past and most of them ended up being a case of paternity fraud” The doctor suggested, adjusting his glasses. “No, this is definitely not a similar case” Andrew countered, lost in thoughts. There is only one answer to this, he thought, using a white handkerchief to wipe the beads of sweat on his forehead. He had found out that his 3 year old daughter had sickle cell anemia. It was shocking to him because he was sure of his wife's genotype. It was compatible with his— they had run a test before getting married. So, he decided to run a DNA test to confirm his fears. And lo, and behold, it came back exactly as he had suspected. “My daughter was switched at birth” Andrew blurted out the only reasonable conclusion he could come up with. Lily— his wife could do anything —but Andrew was sure of one thing —she would never cheat on him. Yes! That was how much he trusted his wife,Lily Harlow. Rest assured, Andrew finalized with the doctor and headed back home to discuss his findings with his wife. Andrew arrived at the Harlows mansion, where he had lived as a live- in - son- in- law for the past 3 years. The place was unusually quiet, his In-laws were nowhere in sight, but it was a good thing —he didn't have the strength to banter words with them. With fast strides, Andrew took the steps in twos, burning with the desire to share his findings with his. But as he walked down the hallway leading to his room. He halted in his tracks as an unbelievable sound pierced through his ears and directly slammed his heart. The sound of moans and groans were coming from somewhere —his matrimonial bed room. In utter denial, Andrew moved closer and was about to barge into the room, when an unfamiliar voice spoke up, making Andrew halt in his steps, his hands hanging in the air. Gently, he placed his hands on the door knob, and placed his ears on the cold wooden door. “ Is your so-called husband this good?” An unfamiliar voice mocked, accompanied with loud groans in-between. At this point, Andrew's heart beat increased 10 times, his heart furiously pounding against his chest, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. He desperately hoped that the glaring truth wasn't true, but sadly —it was. “Do you think I'd allow such a miserable person to touch me?” The overly familiar voice spoke up, confirming Andrew's fears, as a cold chill ran down his spine, his rapid heart beat, pausing for a second. In a swift mode, Andrew jerked the door open, barging in, his hands morphed into a tight ball, his eyes bloodshot, glaring at the naked adults on top of his bed —his matrimonial bed. “What's the meaning of this Andrew?” Lily bellowed, dragging the sheets to cover her unclad body , as she glared daggers at him. “Are you asking me that question Lily? I should be the one asking you, what the fucking hell is going on!?” Andrew yelled. “ It's just as you saw it, I just fucked your wife because you are no man” A brown haired taunted mockingly, his lips curving into a grin. Enraged, Andrew stormed to the bed to knock that grin off the man's face, but Lily put her body in the way, blocking off the man from Andrew's view. “Stop it! Stop it, who gave you the right to barge in here without knocking?” Lily roared, after all, she had no reason to obey a miserable man like Andrew. She had concluded a long time ago that he was the woman in the relationship, whereas she was the man. She was the one who had a blooming company, while he sits at home to take care of Winnie. Andrew was taken aback slightly, but soon enough, he recovered, his anger brimming to the fullest. “ Isn't it enough that you were caught cheating on your matrimonial bed. And yet, you still don't feel the slightest remorse about it?” Andrew asked, his voice firm as he tried to not let the turmoil he was feeling inside slip through his voice. “What came over you Lily? Andrew asked, finding it hard to believe that this was the same woman who risked her life to save him 7 years ago. Over the years, she had gone from being the kind woman he thought she was, into something else. But, it never affected the love he had for her, because he was indebted to her, so he tolerated the insults from her and her family. “I have one question , and I need you to answer this minute! " Andrew said in a low and dangerous tone, staring straight at the woman whom he could barely recognize. “ Who is Winnie’s father ?”“Oh that, I guess you must have found out, It took you long enough” Lily said absentmindedly, using her fingers to comb out her long blonde hair.“He's right here with you, I don't think he needs an introduction, you could have noticed the resemblance, if only you hadn't been blind to it!” Lily hissed, kissing the other man, whose name was Mike.
“Don't you think having a child for a miserable man like you, would have been the biggest mistake of my life?” She turned to face Andrew , staring down at him disdainfully. Her words slammed into Andrew''s heart, his jaw tightening in anger.“How could you Lily?” Andrew asked, clenching his fist, his voice shaking.
“How could I? I could, when I realized getting married to you was the biggest mistake of my life”
“And I think it's time, I let the cat out of the bag. We are getting a divorce” Lily announced coldly, flinging the papers to Andrew. “I'm about to unlock a new level” She announced, flashing a smile to Mike.
“I got chosen as the winner of the A and U project”
“In fact, the Almighty chairman of A and U will be attending the biggest ball he hosted in my honor, to present my award to me—all thanks to the love of my life, Mike. And it isn't right that a low-life like you should be seen around me” She concluded, scrunching up her face in disgust.
“Anything for you sweetheart , although it wasn't easy getting A and U to choose you as the winner” Mike said proudly, a wide grin displaying on his face.
“ What project are you talking about?” Andrew butted in, furrowing his eyebrows in confusion.
“ The A and U project of course! Mike was the one who helped me secure the project. “His company, Hillwoods corporation are close partners to the A and U groups” Lily sniggered, tiptoeing to kiss Mike's lips.
“He is capable of giving me anything I want. And you, what can you do, if not leech off my family?” Lily sneered, staring at Andrew contemptuously.
Andrew was taken aback,as he let out a very loud laughter , catching the two people in the room unaware.
The A and U group? The project that he had asked the CEO to set up?
The same one he had made her win the $50 million dollars and other awards?

Chapter 237 : Game
Andrew sat down slowly, his movements deliberate. He didn’t reach for the chips, didn’t crack a joke, didn’t flash a smile. He simply looked at the table, then at the man sitting opposite him—Mr. Davidson.The air thickened with anticipation.Davidson sipped his scotch without blinking. He hadn’t expected Andrew to accept the seat. Few ever did. Even fewer walked away untouched.The other men gave each other side glances—mocking, cautious, speculative. One of them leaned back, whispering something behind a cigar, and a low chuckle followed. But even that laughter felt manufactured, tight around the edges. Nobody wanted to show too much interest. Not yet.Andrew said nothing. He picked up the cards and flipped them neatly in his hand. His eyes moved from player to player—not with suspicion, but with the distant awareness of a man reading a room, not just watching it.The game began.It wasn’t poker. It wasn’t blackjack. It was a hybrid—an exclusive design with custom rules that had evo
Chapter 236 : The Trouble continues
After Andrew got a VVIP when others couldn't get it, the tension in the room shifted. The people who had mocked him earlier fell into stunned silence, unsure whether to feel jealous, suspicious, or humiliated. The VVIP wasn’t just a place you threw money at to get into—it demanded reputation, discretion, and a certain unspoken credibility that couldn't be faked, forged, or finessed. Even those with political clout or old money had been denied that access. It required more than money to gain entrance to. You had to be someone, not just act like someone. The moment Andrew stepped through those velvet ropes with Anastacia walking beside him, a ripple of whispers swept across the main lounge. Her friends wore forced smiles, eyes burning with curiosity and contempt. They had spent years trying to gain access, and this low-life husband of hers got in like it was nothing. That was enough to bruise fragile egos and awaken deeper rivalries.There was a game going on inside the VVIP—a bet
Chapter 235 : Fake Voucher
This was the moment they had quietly longed for. They had all sat there in their pretentious designer clothes, sipping on overpriced wine they could barely afford, barely able to conceal their anticipation for the humiliation they were convinced was about to unfold.How would Anastacia’s low-life husband come up with two million dollars?The laughter was restrained, but the mockery sat boldly behind their eyes. Andrew had no pedigree, no family name, no visible wealth—just an aura they couldn’t place and manners that didn’t fit their narrative. Deep down, they wanted to see him break. They needed him to prove them right. They needed a scene.Dorothy adjusted her necklace as though preparing for a toast. Paul leaned back in his seat, arms crossed like a judge awaiting the final plea. It was subtle, but the tension in the air was begging for embarrassment. They wanted Andrew to fumble, to sweat, to pull out a debit card and have it declined.But then Andrew reached into his jacket and
Chapter 234: Guilt trip
Anastacia had no choice but to oblige her friends’ demands. She didn't want to, but saying no would raise suspicion. If Andrew had been someone influential—a man with pedigree, a last name that made heads turn—she wouldn’t have waited to be told before proudly dragging him to their table. But Andrew’s case was different. He was a nobody. Not from a notable family, not the owner of any business. Nothing about him screamed success. Just a desperate man who married her for the sake of leeching off her family’s fortune. That’s what she told herself. That’s how she justified the disgust bubbling in her chest. To her, he was a disgrace. An unwanted shadow tied to her name. Nothing more. Still, with measured steps and a hollow expression, she walked toward Andrew’s table. This was going to be unpleasant, but backing out would make it worse.She tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention. “My friends want you to come join us at our table,” she said, the words sliding off her tongue with
Chapter 233: Husband Of The Year
That word—“husband”—annoyed Anastacia to the brim. But she still maintained a calm demeanor and tried to keep her cool. She wouldn't give them the satisfaction of seeing her break down, not now, not ever. She took a controlled breath, fingers curling beneath the table as her painted nails pressed lightly into her palm. She could already feel the judgment thickening in the air like perfume—too sweet, too suffocating. This was the part about this sham marriage that she had dreaded the most—when her friends and the influential people she knew would eventually find out about Andrew. She had rehearsed a dozen versions of this day in her mind, prayed it would stay in the realm of speculation until the quiet, discreet divorce. But now, here it was, thrown on the table like some scandalous appetizer. Eyes were watching. Ears were tuned in. Her armor had to stay intact, flawless, as always. They wouldn’t see her sweat.She had been friends with this group since high school, but deep down she
Chapter 232 : Recognized
“C’mon, it’s not possible that you would know someone like that,” Paul said, his voice edged with disdain as he leaned closer to Dorothy. He lifted his wine glass lazily, swirling the golden liquid inside without taking a sip. His gaze flicked briefly toward the direction Andrew had gone. They had all watched the brief incident that had unfolded between Mirian and Andrew. None of them had commented at first, but their eyes had said enough— even if Andrew wasn't a waiter as Mirain had mistaken him for , he didn't seem far from that .But there was a question lingering through their mind "How did he get a vip pass ? “Who knows, he might have gotten a free invite or something,” Paul said out loud as he smiled without warmth, clearly amused by the idea that someone dressed like that could be allowed in a place like this.“Paul is right. Where do you think you could possibly know someone like that?” Mirian asked dismissively , her voice laced with disdain .Dorothy looked over to Andr
