Ditched Cheating Alpha, I Led My Daughter to Life's Peak novel Chapter 4

That night, Rhea cried in her room. "Mom, the other kids say Dad belongs to Sable, but I didn’t take him away…"

She clutched a photo of Tobias in her small hands, falling asleep with tears staining her cheeks.

I didn’t sleep at all.

Instead, I scrolled through my phone, and a notification popped up.

Valeria had updated her Moments.

[Sable finally has the father she’s always wanted. What’s meant to be ours, no one can take away! ]

A photo accompanied the text—a picture of Tobias, Valeria, and Sable, looking like the perfect family.

A low growl built in my throat.

Just as I was about to exit the app, another message appeared.

A video. From Valeria.

I opened it and immediately felt the blood in my veins turn ice-cold.

It was Tobias, his face handsome and composed as he sat across from friends.

"Tobias, what’s the happiest thing in your life?" someone asked.

Tobias smirked lazily. "Last week, overseas, I put Sable to sleep… then pulled Valeria into the bathroom."

Laughter erupted around him.

I stood frozen, my breath caught in my throat.

Valeria had once posted something similar—Since having a child, we don’t have much time alone, so we wait until Sable falls asleep before sneaking around…

A second message arrived.

"Sorry, I clicked the wrong button and sent it to you by mistake. It was too late to unsend."

"But honestly, Hailey, you must know the truth by now, right?"

"Tobias never wanted to marry you. You forced him into it. For three years abroad, he was with me and Sable. Even though Sable isn’t his real daughter, he loves her more than anything. Soon, we’ll be back together."

Then, a final picture.

Sable in the middle, smiling brightly.

Tobias and Valeria kissing her on each cheek.
