All Chapters of Truth Behind False Love: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

"I've prepared the contraceptives as you instructed. Should I continue giving them to your wife?" the family doctor asked.Zach's voice was cold and detached. "Yes. Don't stop. Marrying her was nothing more than a convenient arrangement. In my heart, only Kayla is worthy of being the mother of my child."There was a hint of tenderness in his expression, shadowed by regret. "Victoria's mother passed away. I gave up my marriage to protect Kayla. Even if it means I'll never become a father, I'm willing to accept that. In my heart, no one can replace Kayla—not even a child born to me and Victoria."The doctor hesitated. "But long-term use of this kind of contraceptive can harm a woman's body. Even if she stops taking it, conceiving might become impossible."For a moment, a trace of conflict flickered through Zach's eyes—brief and fleeting—before resolve hardened his expression."It doesn't matter. I'll take care of her for the rest of her life."I stood outside the study door, my ent

I reached out to my lawyer friend, Lily Parker and asked her to print two copies of the divorce agreement. Lily hesitated for a moment, as if weighing her words."Victoria, about your mother's death… Something just doesn't sit right with me.""What do you mean?" I asked."It all went too smoothly, didn't it? I had already planned how to fight the case if the culprit refused to confess." She paused, her brows knitting together. "But then he suddenly turned himself in. Sure, there was evidence, but it still feels too convenient—like something's off."My heart clenched. A vague suspicion stirred within me, as if scattered fragments were beginning to form a clear line."Lily, can you help me trace an account?" I asked.She shook her head. "I can't do that, but I know a private investigator who might be able to help."Something unseen pulled me forward—a feeling that the truth was close, just out of reach, waiting to be exposed.With the divorce papers in hand, I went to Zach's co

The moment my words fell, the hall erupted into chaos.Zach, his face pale with shock, stormed toward me and yanked me off the stage. "Victoria, what the hell are you trying to do?"I opened my mouth to respond, but before I could speak, Kayla was already beside him, slipping seamlessly into the role of the peacemaker."Calm down, Zach," she said softly. "You know how Victoria is—she loses her temper without thinking. Let me talk to her. Don't take her words to heart."With a sweet smile, she took my arm and led me toward a quiet corner. The moment we were out of sight, her mask slipped away, revealing something far colder underneath."Victoria," she said. "Do you really think Zach is afraid to divorce you? Is this all you've got?" She tilted her head slightly, as if genuinely curious. "Do you even know how much he's done for me over the years? How much he's spent on me?"How does it feel not being able to have a child? I wouldn't know—I'm going to be a mother soon. And who knows

Meanwhile, Zach was completely stunned by my accusations.He immediately called the family doctor. The answer he received was simple—while birth control pills were effective, no method was foolproof. There was always a small chance of pregnancy.Frustration surged through him. He dialed my number over and over again, but each call went straight to voicemail. Desperate, he turned to the assistant who had once helped him find a scapegoat. "Find Victoria," he ordered. "Now."When the assistant returned from the house, he was breathless, his face pale. "Mr. Hayden," he said, pushing open the hospital room door. "The house is empty. She left a divorce agreement behind."For a moment, Zach didn't react. The words floated above him, detached and meaningless. It was only after a long pause that their weight finally sank in."A divorce agreement?" His voice was incredulous. "She's still throwing a tantrum over this?"The assistant hesitated, then said quietly, "I don't think it's just a t

Meanwhile, I had already found the mechanic's family.His wife was an honest woman. She had three children to raise on her own."Miss, we've already taken money from that boss," she said cautiously. "If my husband tells the truth like you said, will he really be released?"I couldn't promise her that."I'll have my lawyer do everything he can to help. You don't want your children growing up with a father in prison, do you?"Her shoulders trembled as she covered her face with her hands, muffling her quiet sobs.Zach had been paying her three thousand dollars a month—more than her husband ever earned. But who would willingly trade decades of freedom for a little extra money unless they had no other choice?"I can give you more," I said. "More than what he's offering. All I ask is that you persuade your husband to tell the truth—for his own sake and for my mother's justice. Your husband didn't do it in the first place. The real culprit is still out there, living freely."At last,
