Chapter 1

After my fitness trainer found out I was living off rental income, he started looking at me with pure disdain.

I thought maybe my membership had expired, so I specifically asked if my card needed renewing.

Instead, he slapped my butt hard:

"Why would a girl build muscles like that? Hard and ugly—who the hell would want to sleep with you?"

"A woman's most important job is to spread her legs and have babies. That's your duty!"

I stumbled back two steps, instantly on guard. "What the hell are you talking about?"

He looked annoyed and reached out to touch my abs:

"Babies born to older mothers are more likely to be slow. I'm giving you a chance—have my baby now."

Then he pressed closer, wrapping his arms around me:

"After you're pregnant, I'll handle collecting the rent. You just stay home and focus on the pregnancy!"

I was completely bewildered and elbowed him hard in the ribs.

He immediately got agitated. "Don't be ungrateful! An old woman like you who flaunts herself in front of men all day—you should be grateful I'm even interested!"

I was so disgusted I canceled my membership on the spot. He harassed me for a few days, then suddenly disappeared.

It wasn't until rent collection day that I discovered he'd been impersonating my husband and had collected three years' rent from all my tenants!
