A Love Built on Deception Chapter 2
When I was crippled, my entire world collapsed. I had been on the brink of winning the national dance championship, but I threw myself in front of a car to save Zander, and in return, I was left crippled.That accident did not just take my ability to dance—it stole my pride.While I was still recovering, Zander went behind my back and gave my hard-earned competition spot to Jenna Walsh. Then, as if that betrayal was not enough, he married her and announced it to the world.Overnight, I lost everything and became a joke in everyone's eyes. Trapped in both physical and emotional distress, I sank into severe depression.That was when Sean Walsh appeared in my life. He stayed by my side, quietly caring for me, and did everything he could to help me heal. He poured his patience and devotion into me year after year, making me believe in myself again.Sean became the light that pulled me out of the darkness. For five years, I built my world around him. I dreamed of our future, believing
A Love Built on Deception Chapter 3
I nodded silently, my gaze fixed on Sean, still saying nothing. If this had been before, when there was no mysterious call pulling him away, he might have noticed my mood. He would have asked questions, tried to figure out what was wrong, and done everything he could to make me smile.However, all his attention was on his phone. His lies were getting sloppier, full of loopholes he did not even bother to cover up.Sean rushed off in a hurry, but instead of leaving the hospital, he went straight into the VIP maternity ward. That was when I saw Jenna, the woman who had once competed with me for everything.Sean, who had always been cold and distant, looked completely different. His expression was soft, and his every move was cautious and gentle.Jenna pouted, her voice dripping with playful grievance. "Oh? Sean, you've finally decided to visit me? I was starting to think that now that Natalia is pregnant, you only have eyes for her and the baby. You almost forgot about me, didn't you?
A Love Built on Deception Chapter 4
I sat motionless all night while Sean remained utterly oblivious....The next morning, I received a text from him on my way to the hospital.[Sean: Darling, I'm heading to work. I have a meeting in the neighboring city, so I may be home late. I'll bring you a gift.]The irony was suffocating. Just as I finished reading his message, I looked up and saw Sean in the distance, carefully wrapping a scarf around Jenna's neck before walking over to start the car for her.Jenna noticed me. With a smirk full of disdain, she strutted over, her gaze dropping to my legs like she was looking at some joke."So, you can stand again now? Natalia, you keep surprising me—first you're standing, now you're pregnant?"She tilted her head, her voice dropping to a mocking whisper. "Tell me—if I kill your baby, do you think Sean will blame me?"Before I could react, Jenna lunged at me like a madwoman. She shoved me with all her strength, sending me crashing to the ground. Then, as if on cue, she coll
A Love Built on Deception Chapter 5
Sean could not focus on anything else—panic surged through him as he rushed out the door. His face was clouded with tension, his mind a whirlwind of anxiety, unease, and fear.He called Natalia repeatedly, but every attempt was met with the same message—her phone was off. Even his texts failed to go through, each returning with a red exclamation mark.He mumbled, "T—this can't be happening. Talia wouldn't block me, would she?"Jenna, who had woken up, ran after him and grabbed his arm, refusing to let him leave. She shouted, "Sean! You're going to look for Natalia, aren't you? I won't let you go!"Sean, still frantic, suddenly froze as a thought hit him. His expression darkened, and he shoved Jenna's hand away, his voice sharp and accusing."What the hell happened? How did Natalia lose the baby? Did you say something to her? You've been clinging to me since yesterday. Was it on purpose? What the hell did you do? Why is Natalia gone?"Jenna's eyes flashed with guilt, but she still
A Love Built on Deception Chapter 6
Day after day, Sean searched endlessly. When he finally ran out of options, he thought of Jenna. Fueled by rage, he stormed into the hospital and went straight to her.His voice shook with fury as he said, "Jenna, it was you, wasn't it? What the hell did you say to Natalia? Why hasn't she come back? Why did she divorce me? You wanted to win the dance competition, crush Natalia, and steal her boyfriend, and I gave you everything you wanted!"He growled and said, "You have it all, but she's disabled and has lost her dreams. She only had me left! What more do you want?! Why? Why did you have to hurt her?! I warned you to stay the hell away from her, didn't I? Why did you pretend to listen while stabbing her in the back?!"Sean's voice echoed through the hospital corridor, but Jenna stared at him, her face twisting in fury. For five years, over a thousand nights, he had spent every single moment with Natalia.Yet, only then did he realize he had never been acting. The line between pret

Sean did not stop, not even when Jenna screamed threats behind him. However, the moment he stepped out of the hospital, he was lost all over again.Where was he supposed to look for Natalia?Fear gnawed at his chest, suffocating him. He had not slept properly in days, but pure terror overshadowed the exhaustion.He realized that Natalia knew—she had known everything. That was why she left without a word. Before coming to confront Jenna, he had convinced himself that Natalia was just angry and throwing a fit, that she was just upset that he had not spent enough time with her.He thought that if he put in the effort, showered her with attention, and loved her enough, she would return to him.He thought they still had time, believing that they still had the baby and that they still had a future together as a loving family of three.Yet, the reality was far from that. Sean could not even recall the nonsense he had said to Zander that day. He could not bear to imagine how shattered Na

The private investigator sent me an update early the next morning.[Ms. Chastain, everything is in place. The footage has spread across the Internet overnight. With the momentum we've gained, even the best PR teams will have difficulty covering this up completely.]I sent a reply. [Good. Keep an eye on the legal side of things for me as well.]After that, I opened my phone and was immediately met with chaos. The scandal had exploded online, with the surveillance footage from the hospital room having been leaked—a clear video and audio evidence exposing Sean and Jenna's disgusting affair.Within hours, public outrage had shattered Sean's reputation. Walsh Corporation's official accounts were flooded with backlash, while Sean's social media was overrun entirely with furious comments.[What the actual hell?! That guy is actually sleeping with his own niece?! And they're both married to other people?!][This is beyond disgusting. I feel sick for their spouses. How do you even recover

I nodded in agreement at Declan's offer to join me. This trip was about settling the final score, and once this was over, I could finally move on.After Zander made his public statement, the first thing he did was file for divorce from Jenna. The fallout was messy, and they had an all-out fight in the hospital.Zander even demanded a paternity test the same day. The results? The baby was neither his nor Sean's.The Lewis family wasted no time kicking Jenna out, cutting all ties with her. At the same time, they issued a formal apology to me.However, Jenna refused to go down alone. With nowhere left to turn, she latched onto Sean and begged him to take her in.In the pouring rain, she knelt on the ground with the baby in her arms, hysterically sobbing as she pleaded for him not to abandon her.However, Sean was merciless. Without even looking back, he got in his car and drove away, leaving her kneeling on the pavement, screaming through her tears.Meanwhile, Walsh Corporation was

A Love Built on Deception Chapter 1
I gripped the pregnancy test report, and my body slumped in the wheelchair as an uncontrollable shiver ran through me. The joy and excitement I had felt just moments ago plummeted into an abyss.I wanted to convince myself that I had misheard. However, the scene before me was like a thousand razor-sharp arrows piercing my heart.Zander Lewis mockingly said, "Sean, don't you think you've gone too far with this act for Natalia Chastain? Are you sure you haven't caught feelings for her? You keep saying she doesn't matter, but you're obviously nervous. Otherwise, why would you ditch a multi-million-dollar project to bring her to the hospital?"Sean Walsh remained unfazed by Zander's teasing. His expression was indifferent as he replied, "If I didn't bring her here, how else would I confirm she got pregnant just as I planned? If I didn't keep up with the medication for her useless legs, she might stand up one day. What happens then?"He continued, saying, "There are only two types of wo
