Seven months into my pregnancy, I accidentally overheard a conversation between my husband and the poor student I had been sponsoring.

For twenty-four years, Daphne believed she had it all—a loving husband, a successful career, and a son she adored. But beneath the surface of her perfect life lay a web of lies, betrayal, and a secret so devastating it could destroy everything she held dear. When Daphne overhears a chilling conversation between her husband, Stephen, and Rosie, the impoverished student she had generously sponsored, her world shatters. She learns that the child she carried and raised as her own is not hers by blood, but the product of a twisted scheme orchestrated by the two people she trusted most. Determined to protect herself and reclaim her life, Daphne devises a plan of her own—one that will exact the ultimate revenge. As the years pass, Daphne plays the role of the devoted mother and wife, biding her time. But when her son returns from studying abroad, the truth finally comes to light in a dramatic public showdown. With her assets transferred and her family turned against her, Daphne must confront the ultimate betrayal—and reveal the shocking twist that will leave everyone reeling.
