A Pregnant Wife Abandoned in the Cold Discovers Her Savior’s Real Identity
Previously: When Victoria’s wealthy husband threw her to the ground outside their mansion, she thought she was completely alone. But a mysterious older man stepped in to change her life forever.
A Web of Lies Unravels
Andrew scrambled to find his footing, his expensive suit now disheveled. He glared at the intruder, his eyes narrowing in confusion and anger. He didn't recognize this older man, but there was an undeniable authority in Patrick’s stance that made him hesitate.
"Who the hell do you think you are?" Andrew spat, adjusting his cuffs. "This is private property. Get off my estate before I have the security guards throw you in jail!"
Patrick slowly stood up, keeping one hand firmly on Victoria's shoulder as she struggled to stand. He looked Andrew dead in the eye, his gaze cold and unwavering.
"Your estate?" Patrick scoffed, a bitter smile playing on his lips. "You really believe your own lies, don't you, Andrew? This house, the company, the money—none of it belongs to you. You stole it all through forged documents after my partner, Victoria's late stepfather, passed away."
Victoria gasped, looking between her husband and the stranger. She had always wondered why her late stepfather's estate had transitioned so quickly and seamlessly into Andrew’s hands right before their wedding. She had been told it was a legitimate merger, but her husband's sudden pale complexion suggested a far darker truth.
"You're insane," Andrew stammered, though his voice lacked its previous conviction. "I don't know what you're talking about."
"I am Patrick Vance," the older man declared, his voice ringing with absolute certainty. "Twenty-five years ago, I was forced out of this country by your family's threats. But I never stopped looking for my daughter. Victoria is my flesh and blood, Andrew. And I have spent the last six months gathering the evidence to prove exactly how you defrauded her family of their entire fortune."
The revelation hit Victoria like a physical blow. The stranger holding her wasn't just a savior—he was the father she had been told had abandoned her at birth. Andrew stared at them, his face draining of color as he realized his empire of cards was about to collapse.
