Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 13

Wiona froze at those words.

A moment later, Cole and Jasmine walked in. Madison stood in the doorway, not coming inside, just giving Wiona a slight nod.

“Dad. Mom.” Wiona called out softly.

Cole scoffed. “So you still remember I’m your father.”

Jasmine’s face was full of concern as she hurried over and gripped Wiona’s hand. “Wiona, I thought you’d really stopped caring about us.”

“How could I?” Wiona replied. “You raised me for more than twenty years. I could never repay you for that.”

Tears welled up in Jasmine’s eyes. She squeezed Wiona’s hand even tighter. “Then why haven’t you come to see us for so long? Last time, you even left behind a bank card. It felt like you wanted to cut us out of your life.

“Wiona, you’ve always been the apple of my eye. How could I just let you go?” Her voice trembled. “Why are you being so heartless?”

Wiona looked up at Madison. When she saw the sadness on Madison’s face, she gently pulled her hand free from Jasmine’s grip.

She kept her tone polite. “Mom, I took Madison’s place. I owe her. From now on, you should give all your love to her. I never really deserved it anyway.”

Jasmine and Cole both looked uncomfortable after hearing that.

Jasmine’s voice shook. “Are you still mad at your brother?

“He only said those things because he couldn’t handle the truth. He’s been abroad for a year now and barely talks to us… Wiona, can’t you just forgive your brother?

“If you’d just let it go, you two could be close again, just like before. Isn’t that what you want?”

Wiona stayed silent. Jasmine clutched her chest, devastated.

“You are just breaking my heart,” she cried.

Watching her adoptive mother break down like that, Wiona was hurting too.

She remembered how happy her family used to be. She had a dad who spoiled her, a mom who was always gentle and loving, a brother who was fiercely protective, almost to a fault.

In the Morgan family, she could do anything. She was their girl, raised with all the love in the world.

But then, one day, she found out her whole life was built on a mistake. She’d taken someone else’s place. She was never supposed to have any of this.

She couldn’t accept it at first. She wanted to talk to her brother Kyle, the one person she’d always trusted most. But when she found him, she overheard him on the phone.

“Wiona should’ve been an orphan. Because of her, my real sister had to suffer in an orphanage for over twenty years. She owes our family.”

Kyle’s words cut deeper than anything she’d ever felt.

She ran away, humiliated.

After that, even the Salisbury family started treating her differently. She didn’t fit in anywhere.

Her birthday came around, and so did Madison’s. Someone asked if the Morgans would throw a big party for their two daughters.

They parted on awful terms.

Wiona knew she’d been shattered by that fight.

So no, there was no way she was going to apologize to Kyle.

Cole was furious seeing how stubborn she was. “Enough. Why are you even wasting time talking to this ungrateful girl?

“We help her marry Jace, and look at what she’s done with it.

“It’s only been a little over a year, and the Salisburys already don’t care about her.

“Useless. We’re leaving.”

Jasmine clung to Wiona’s hand, reluctant to let go. “Wiona, even if you’re not our real daughter, you’re still the rightful Mrs. Salisbury now.

“You have to hold on to this marriage. The Salisbury family is doing so well. If you can have a child and secure your place, you’ll never have to worry about anything again.

“We only want what’s best for you. Please, listen to me.”

Cole pulled Jasmine away. Madison gave Wiona one last glance, then left with them.

The room felt cold and empty.

Wiona forced herself to pull it together. She pushed down all the pain and hurried out the door.
