“Do you know why he married you?” Her smile was cruel, her blind eyes staring straight through me. “Because you’re wearing my eyes and he promised to protect them.” My breath caught, but she wasn’t done. She leaned closer, as she whispered in my ears “Face it, Olivia. You’re nothing but my replacement.” Leonard always seemed like the perfect husband, until she woke from her five-year coma and shattered my world with the truth. He married me for my eyes. Eyes that once belonged to her. I should have known his overprotectiveness wasn’t love, it was guilt. And now, with a life growing inside me, I realized I wasn’t just a substitute wife. I was a placeholder in a story that was never mine to begin with. Shattered and pregnant, I disappeared, leaving behind the man who never truly saw me and a secret he never knew existed. Years later, I return. No longer his fragile, obedient wife, but a woman with a new name, a hidden son, and a plan to ruin the billionaire who broke me. But in a game where love and vengeance collide, the most dangerous twist isn’t my fury it’s the fire that never died between us. He made me a substitute. Now, I’ll make him suffer.

Chapter 1: The Barren Wife

Laughter filled the grand hall, clear and bright. It bounced off the chandeliers, surrounding the guests. But to me, it wasn’t lighthearted. It was painful. The sound twisted in my guts, reopening old wounds. I stood by the window, fingers tightening around the edge of my glass, watching small figures darting through the courtyard, their feet slapping against the cobblestone, their giggles bursting like firecrackers into the night air during festival periods. An orphanage. Fitting, isn’t it? I’ve always loved children and wished to have lots of kids when I become a woman but it would seem life has a way of laughing at one's face. And now? Now, I stand here. In a charity event with my husband. But not one of them is mine. Because life is cruel like that. Because fate has a twisted sense of humor. I forced my gaze away, swallowing the lump rising in my throat. But before I could take a step…. I heard these heart wrenching whispers. “Five years of marriage and...

Chapter 2: A Bitter Taste Of Truth
Olivia Later at night, I stepped out of the bedroom, lost in thought, my damp hair wrapped in a towel. The cool air kissed my skin, sending a shiver down my spine as I pulled my robe tighter around my body. I need to speak to him about my pain. I need him to know how desperately I want a child. I was so lost in thoughts when I heard a knock on the door. I exhaled slowly, steadying myself. Great. What now? “Coming,” I called out, forcing my voice into something that didn’t betray my exhaustion. When I opened the door, Mrs. Roger stood there, her face impassive, a silver tray balanced in her hands. “Madam, your tonic.” A bitter taste filled my mouth before I even took a sip. My stomach twisted violently, recoiling at the mere sight of it. Lord Have Mercy. This. Again. That damn concoction-dark, murky, reeking of herbs that never failed to churn my insides. I didn’t need to ask who had sent it, but I did anyway. “Did my mother-in-law send this?” Mrs. Roger hesitated, an

Chapter 3: The Forgotten Anniversary
Olivia The next day, my mind was a whirlwind of thoughts, tangled and relentless. Who was this Elena woman? What kind of relationship did she have with my husband? Why was her name in a message from the very same hospital where I had my eye transplant? But I forced myself to push it aside. Focus on today, Olivia. Because guess what? Today is our wedding anniversary! Ihad planned the most splendid dinner night. Now, let’s be honest, folks-I am not a great cook. I mean, if survival depended on my cooking skills, I’d be in deep trouble. But that’s not the point, right? It’s the intention that matters. The love. The effort. So, I decided to help Mrs. Roger in the kitchen, determined to prepare something exquisite for my dear husband. Because that’s what a good wife does, right? I was elbow-deep in chopping vegetables, the rich aroma of spices filling the air, when I heard footsteps descending the stairs. And then, there he was. Leonard. With a smile stretched so wid

Chapter 4: The Lie That Changed Everything
Olivia The words didn’t make sense. I blinked, processing them, trying to force them to fit into the reality Leonard had painted for me earlier. “He left early today,” she added, her voice still polite. Still composed. My stomach twisted. Leonard never left early. Not when he claimed to be working late. Not when he told me he would be here. I swallowed, my throat suddenly dry. “Alright. Thank you.” But my hands felt cold. My heart was beating faster now, my mind already spinning with questions, with doubts. I turned on my heel and walked straight to his office. The second I stepped inside, the air felt… wrong. Too still. Too cold. His cologne still lingered, faint but there, but the room itself-his desk, his chair, the papers neatly stacked-was untouched. Like he hadn’t been here for hours. Liar. I inhaled sharply, my hands trembling as I reached for my phone. I scrolled to his name, my thumb hovering over the call button before I pressed it. It rang. Once. Twice.

Chapter 5: The Eyes Of Another
Olivia He was home. I didn’t move. Didn’t breathe. Just lay there, staring at the bedside lamp while my mind spun in circles. Same questions. Same ache. Same silence. The bedroom door creaked. The mattress dipped. Warmth pressed against my back. His body was molding into mine like nothing had changed. But everything had. His breath brushed my shoulder, warm and familiar. His arm slid around my waist, tugging me close with that soft, careful grip. The one he used when he knew he was guilty. “I’m sorry, baby,” he whispered, lips barely grazing my temple. “Work ran late. I didn’t mean to miss our anniversary.” Liar. I knew the second his scent hit me. His usual cologne was there. It was crisp and clean but underneath, I smelled something sharp. Hospital air. Bintu Hospital. My fingers curled into the sheets. Cold metal slid over my wrist. A bracelet. Diamonds, bright and blinding, wrapped in gold. Expensive. Beautiful. Another sorry gift. “It’s beautiful,” I whispered. My

Chapter 6: The Eyes That Were Never Mine
Olivia I couldn’t sleep. Patricia’s words had lodged themselves in my mind, sharp and relentless. Elena was the girl who sold her eyes. I sat in the dim light from the bedside lamp, my fingers curling around the edge of my phone. The screen was warm against my palm, but I couldn’t bring myself to move. If I did, I would make it real. If I did, I would chase a truth I might not survive. But the doubt was suffocating. I needed the truth. I scrolled through my contacts, the steady thrum of my pulse in my ears as I landed on the number I hadn’t dialed in years. Dr. Samuel Greene. The surgeon who had given me my sight. Without thinking, I pressed the call. The phone rang. Once. Twice. Three times. Then… A click. “Dr. Greene speaking.” I swallowed, trying to steady my voice. “Dr. Greene, it’s Olivia. Olivia Crawford.” A pause. A breath. Then, wariness. “Olivia. It’s been a long time. What can I do for you?” “I need information.” There was a short silence then “About?”

Chapter 7: Her Eyes, My Womb
My eyes fluttered open, squinting hard against the harsh glare of the overhead lights. The brightness stabbed through my vision, forcing me to blink several times before the room slowly came into focus. I was still in the hospital. The memory of the fall slammed into me the moment I shifted, a dull ache blooming across my lower back as I pushed myself up against the headboard. The sheets crinkled under my palms just as the door swung open. A man in a white coat stepped in, the stethoscope around his neck catching the light. His expression shifted into relief the second he saw me awake. “Oh, thank goodness, madam. You’re finally conscious.” He crossed the room briskly, placing a firm hand on my forehead, his fingers cool against my skin. Without a word, he flicked a penlight across my eyes, watching closely as my pupils adjusted. Then, he turned to check the monitors beside my bed, making quick notes on the chart clipped to the foot of it. “How are you feeling?” His voic

Chapter 8: Behind Closed Doors
The second I stepped into the house, I barely had time to take off my shoes before one of the maids came rushing toward me, her slippers slapping against the marble floor. Her hands were wrapped tightly around a small glass bottle, covered in silk cloth like it was some ancient treasure.“Madam!” she called, her voice breathless from hurrying.I turned around, already exhausted, but her nervous face made me pause. “What is it?”She held the bottle out, eyes darting around like someone might be watching. “Madam-in-law brought this for you some hours ago. She said you must take five shots of it.”I froze, staring at her like she’d grown a second head. “Five shots?” My voice shot up, loud enough to make her flinch. “What does she think I am, a barrel that needs filling? Does she want to kill me?”The maid’s eyes widened, but I wasn’t done. I snatched the bottle from her hands, holding it up to the light. The liquid inside was thick, dark, almost muddy. Just looking at it made my stomac

Chapter 9: Silence Between Them
LeonardI sat there, staring at Olivia’s half-empty plate, my appetite gone. She barely spoke to me all through dinner. Every answer was short, like she couldn’t be bothered. And that smil: that fake, too-sweet smile when she called me my dear husband, it wasn’t love. It was a warning.Something was wrong.I wasn’t blind. Olivia had been distant for days, but this felt different. Colder. Like she had already made up her mind about something and I wasn’t even part of the conversation. I waved a hand, calling over one of the housemaids. “Come here.”She hurried over, hands folded in front of her.“Did anything happen today while I was gone?”“No, sir,” she said quickly.“Did my mother come by?”“Yes, sir. She only sent a tonic for Madam.”Of course. My mother and her damn tonics.“And she didn’t say anything to Olivia?”“No, sir. She just gave the tonic and left.”“Anyone else visit?”“No one, sir.”I let out a slow breath, dismissing her with a nod. But the uneasy knot in my chest d

Chapter 10: He Might Actually Care
The sun was already up, but I was still in bed, face buried in the pillow, trying to block out the daylight. My stomach flipped again, and I swallowed down the nausea for the third time that morning. Pregnancy regurgitation, some fancy words for a miserable start to the day.The door creaked open. I didn’t turn around. I didn’t need to. Leonard’s footsteps were too familiar after all these years.“You’re still in bed?” His voice was somewhere between confused and irritated. “Are you okay?”“Just tired.”That was the truth but only the smallest piece of it. The deeper truth was that I didn’t want to get up because getting up meant facing him, facing this life we were barely holding together. I didn’t want to look at him and wonder which version of Leonard I’d get today, the distant stranger or the man who still tried, just barely, to care.His shadow fell over me as he stood at the edge of the bed. His hand brushed my forehead, testing for a fever like I was a child. I wanted to pull
