Chapter 59 Chapter 59: Going public with it would cause chaos. This wouldn’t be Rosanna’s first viral moment. Back in school, someone uploaded a video of her singing at a concert. That voice of hers? It turned strangers into diehard fans. She had it all — a delicate face, a
Chapter 58 Chapter 58: Realizing something was wrong, Rosanna lunged for Jarrod’s phone in a panic, but she was a second too late. The video clearly showed Rosanna standing alone upstairs — no Maia in sight — then stumbling backward on her own and tumbling helplessly down the staircase. Not
Chapter 57 Chapter 57: From her place at the top of the stairs, Maia looked down at them — the family she once would have bled for. Her heart felt heavy, but her face was cold. Four years ago, they had believed every lie Rosanna fed them and hadn’t even
Chapter 56 Chapter 56: A Rolls-Royce Phantom… The words echoed in Vince’s mind, stirring a blurry memory of the man he had seen outside the restaurant that night. His eyes narrowed slightly.

Chapter 55 Chapter 55: The Ward family commanded respect in Wront’s upper crust. Their image and influence were everything to them. She had pulled every string to bring Vince here and finalize the match. Not once had she imagined Maia barging in and ruining it all. If this continued, Vince
Chapter 54 Chapter 54: Jarrod stumbled upright, rage burning so brightly that he couldn’t see straight. Without thinking, he tightened his fists and lunged at Maia, aiming a brutal punch straight at her head. In his mind, the earlier humiliation had only been because he was caught off guard. Now,
Chapter 53 Chapter 53: That was something Rosanna simply couldn’t accept. She refused to believe it. Without thinking, Rosanna collapsed to the floor and wrapped her arms around Maia’s leg, sobbing louder than ever. “Maia, I never wanted it to turn out like this! I know you hate me, and
Chapter 52 Chapter 52: Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked helplessly at Sandra and Richard, her face filled with silent frustration. Richard saw her distress and immediately stepped in, his voice sharp. “Vince, why are you even asking Maia anything about your marriage to Rosanna p> Maia
Chapter 51 Chapter 51: The air in the room thickened with tension. Sandra and Richard exchanged bewildered looks, their confusion evident. Jarrod, caught off guard, hesitated. He’d wanted to say something, but the memory of Maia effortlessly downing an entire bottle of whiskey the previous night at Starlight Bar held
Chapter 50 Chapter 50: Eyes shifted toward the doorway. Maia stood there, stepping in from the outside. She wore a beige, form-fitting short-sleeve top, paired with a tight denim skirt.

Chapter 49 Chapter 49: Rosanna intended to shatter Maia’s image in front of everyone, exposing her as nothing more than a homewrecker with a messy, scandalous personal life.

Chapter 48 Chapter 48: Then he gave her a warning. “Still, don’t even think about stepping into places like that. The Morgans don’t need your money. Just focus on school and enjoy being at home p> Rosanna lit up at his words. “No worries. Singing’s just for fun. My real
Chapter 47 Chapter 47: Only then did she realize that her pulse was pounding like a drum in her ears. “What does he mean, just come to him?” she muttered under her breath. “He said he wouldn’t let me down? What is this, some kind of rom-com line p> She
Chapter 46 Chapter 46: The sudden contact sent a spark racing up Maia’s arm, making her shiver. “Had a good night out?” he asked, his voice casual — but there was something cold buried underneath. Panic flooded Maia’s mind. “Oh no… This is bad. He probably thinks I went out
Chapter 45 Chapter 45: Just as she kicked off her shoes out of habit, she froze. She wasn’t living alone anymore. After a beat, she bent down, picked them up, and placed them neatly by the rack. Soft light spilled from the living room, casting a sleepy glow. Maia crossed
Chapter 44 Chapter 44: A singer, he could see. But someone with a prison record? That rattled him completely. “I — uh — what?” Jack stammered, speechless. She didn’t bother waiting for a reply. Linking arms with Pattie, she turned and made for the exit. That shook him into action.
Chapter 43 Chapter 43: The moment Pattie saw her, she clasped her hand tightly, her eyes welling up. “You were beyond amazing just now, Maia!” She dabbed at a stray tear and mischievously added, “I swear, next time I run into Brielle, I’m teasing her relentlessly. How did she ever
Chapter 42 Chapter 42: But the evidence — conveniently — turned up in her bag. The entire Morgan family circled around Rosanna like a fortress, declaring Maia guilty before a single judge had spoken. Even now, Jarrod didn’t know if they’d truly believed the lie — or if protecting Rosanna
