Chapter 1

My husband, Ethan Foster, was photographed at a maternity center.

Every media outlet was speculating about who the mother of the Foster Group CEO's illegitimate child could be.

I just stared at my phone with a blank expression and turned it off.

Ethan spoke in a flat tone:

"Right now is a critical time for Stella's career. She can't afford any scandals."

"So?" I looked up at him, my gaze steady.

"So tomorrow, you need to show up at the maternity center and claim that child as yours. After a while, Stella will take the baby back."

Listening to Ethan's commanding tone, I smiled bitterly.

So even now, all he cared about was Stella Quinn's career.

Seeing my silence, Ethan did what he always did—he handed me a check.

"Fill in whatever amount you want. But you must claim this child as yours."

I froze for two seconds.

Instead of taking the check, I went to the bedroom and pulled out a document I'd prepared long ago and handed it to him.

Before I could say a word, Ethan flipped to the last page without hesitation and signed it.

He had no idea that what I'd given him was a divorce agreement.
