I was the stand-in who looked most like my husband's first love. He put me through countless plastic surgeries, both major and minor ones, until I became her exact likeness. But then, she came back from the dead. All it took was her saying, "I don't like anyone looking like me," and he sent me right back to the operating table once more. I begged him, telling him that my body couldn't handle it anymore. Alas, he only looked at me with irritation. "Seeing that cheap imitation of her face just disgusts me," he sneered. "No matter how close you come, you'll never be her." In the end, I died on that operating table. Yet, he went mad, trying desperately to recall what I once looked like.
View MoreSpencer was sentenced to ten years in prison. Without him, his family could no longer maintain their position and lost most of their wealth. Losing the Legrine Family's support, the Bippy Family declined at a blistering rate as well.The remaining members of the Bippy Family had to work as scavengers just to live. Spencer died on a cold winter day. In that same winter, with Spencer's money, my mother finally underwent her surgery.The day she opened her eyes, she got a letter from Spencer. Instead of reading it, she tore it up and tossed the pieces into the bin. In a prison far away, Spencer closed his eyes forever.With Spencer gone, I could finally lead a new life.…Spencer’s POVBethany was pregnant. I thought I wouldn't be happy about it, but I still lost sleep the moment I was hit with the news.I smoked on the balcony the whole night, thinking it would be great if the baby was a girl. She would look like me and her. I wasn't even thinking about Yunice.Bethany and I boug
Spencer froze, then he panicked. "I don't know what you're talking about—""Drop the act," Yunice said expressionlessly. "Just admit that you've fallen in love with her, Spencer. What, do you think it's an embarrassing thing to do? Well, you're right. It is."She put on a mocking smile. "After all, she's a fake. I did it on purpose. I knew Bethany couldn't make it. The moment she undergoes surgery, she's dead. I would never allow a fake to look just like me. Seeing her alone is disgusting enough. The hospital called you a lot of times, but I hung up on them and deleted the call history."Yunice added, "She must die."Spencer was trembling with rage. He stared at Yunice darkly, not saying a word."Don't give me that look." Yunice sneered, arching an eyebrow. "You played a part in her death. Physical pain is nothing compared to the fact that the man she loved didn't even see her as a human. The fact that you're regretting it after losing her disgusts me."She scoffed. "Do you reall
If it hadn't been for seeing this tiny dress now, I might have forgotten about it entirely.When I first found out I was pregnant, there was a brief spell of happiness between Spencer and me for once. During that time, he even went shopping with me, and we picked out this dress together.He said, "I hope it's a girl who's quiet and docile."That was why we chose pink.Later, when I lost the baby, I searched everywhere for that dress but couldn't find it. Never would I have guessed that Spencer had it all along.A strange sense of bewilderment washed over me. Why had he hidden it?The room was thick with the stench of alcohol. Spencer had drunk himself into oblivion, passing out from the pain in his stomach, only to wake up and start drinking all over again.Once, after he woke up, he clutched his stomach and muttered my name. "Bethany Frodo, get me my stomach medicine."He always used my full name and was never affectionate with me like he was with Yunice. He would call her "Yu
It was just one question, yet it struck Spencer like a bolt of thunder, leaving him visibly shaken."She… She was pregnant—"He gripped my mother's hand and was trembling so violently that it seemed he could barely hold onto his phone. His phone ringing made him snap back to reality. On the phone screen, Yunice's name blinked incessantly.She was the one he had adored for years—his perfect goddess and first love. And yet, in that moment, he only stared blankly at the phone, then flung it across the room. It hit the floor with a smash before fractured lines appeared on the screen.Desperation colored his voice. "No, it's impossible! Bethany has always been clingy, weak, and terrified of everything. She wouldn't have the courage to end her own life. This has to be some trick you're all playing on me!"Grinding his teeth, he snarled, "Just wait until I find her. I'll teach her a lesson she won't forget!" He spun around and stumbled out the door. His body was swaying as if he ha
Spencer tightened his grip on his phone. His face suddenly looked gloomier, and his voice became colder."What, is Bethany pulling her stunts with you now, too? Are your medical staff even competent? Can't your equipment detect if there's actually something wrong with her? Get her over here now!"He hung up abruptly. An ambulance soon arrived and quickly transported Maria to the hospital.The party continued, but this time, Spencer sat off to the side. He was lost in thought, and his gaze was unfocused.Yunice approached him, holding a glass of red wine. "What's on your mind?"He looked up slowly. "Someone just said… It seems Bethany really is dead."Yunice sneered, "She's worthless. Dead or not, who cares? Oh, and speaking of which, I forgot to tell you."Remember when you came to see me on the day of Bethany's surgery? Your phone rang when you went to the restroom, and I answered it for you. It was someone claiming to be from the hospital. I vaguely recall them mentioning Be
Yunice's face was covered in blood. Maria was held down firmly by Spencer and Jeremy. She didn't cry out in pain. Instead, a bitter laugh escaped her lips."If it weren't for you, Bethany would still be alive. You're the real wretch!" Yunice was disfigured. Her rage grew even more at Maria's words. She slapped Maria ten times, hard enough to leave her struggling to speak and spewing blood. Even her teeth fell out, along with the blood.Covering her own face, Yunice looked at Maria with a dark, twisted smile. "You were given a chance, but you threw it away. Now, you're putting on quite a show of courage."Spencer was furious as well. Even though Yunice only suffered a small cut, he tended to her as though it were a grave wound, applying alcohol to disinfect the wound over and over again. It seemed he had completely forgotten the countless cuts and scars that once lined my face, all because he wanted me to look like the only woman he ever loved.He held her hand and promised th
When Maria arrived at the villa, Yunice was throwing a party.The villa I had carefully designed and decorated was now covered in chaotic splashes of paint. The outer wall of my room had the word "Wretch" smeared across it in red paint.As soon as Maria stepped inside, a bucket of filthy water was dumped over her head.Pinching her nose in mock disgust, Yunice sneered from a distance, "Well, look who's here! Isn't this the mother of that wretch? With the same filthy blood running through her veins, she's bound to be just as vile!"Laughter filled the room. Maria fell to her knees in humiliation, her bloodshot eyes fixed on Yunice."Bethany only has her 'beauty' because she underwent plastic surgeries to look like me. If she actually looked like you, it would be laughable. She'd be a total disgrace.""A wretch will always be a wretch. All she knows how to do is imitate me, seduce my man, and steal my family."Yunice's face was full of smugness, her expression dripping with contem
I was 14 the year I met Spencer.Back then, I was still the second daughter in the Bippy Family. I had been abducted and brought to the Bippy Family by human traffickers, only because I looked so much like Yunice. Edward and Melinda Bippy had lost their biological daughter, so they took me in as a replacement.The first time Spencer saw me, he only frowned, saying, "She looks like Yunice, but she doesn't have Yunice's charm."He didn't like me. To him, I was a stranger, a stand-in. Yet, I was captivated by him, and the stirrings of first love took hold of my heart.Later, the Bippy Family found their biological daughter and cast me out. Left to fend for myself at a young age, I spent almost a year begging on the streets that I was so thin I looked like a child under ten. Finally, one day, I met my mother.She wiped the grime off my face as she looked at me with pity written across her face. "Poor girl, you must be starving."The bread she handed me was the best thing I had ev
The anesthesia had taken hold, and my consciousness was slipping away. I couldn't even speak another word of pleading.However, my mother, Maria Lane, clung to that last shred of hope. She went down on her knees before Spencer Legrine, bowing and sobbing as she begged, "Spencer, I'm begging you. Please don't do this to her. Bethany is still your wife…"She has already endured hundreds of plastic surgeries, both major and minor ones. The last time she fainted and was admitted to the hospital, the doctor warned us not to let her undergo any more plastic surgeries in private clinics, or she wouldn't be able to take it. She could die!"She yelled the last sentence out, her voice hoarse. She kowtowed so hard that blood dripped from it, and she was in agony.However, Spencer just stood there, merely glancing at his watch, his expression impatient. He didn't even move until his phone rang, and then his eyes brightened, and all his irritation vanished as he answered gently, "Yunice, what
