Chapter 1
Three years into being Lucas's secret lover, I got pregnant.
That night, I braved the pouring rain to surprise him at the bar where he was partying. Instead, I heard him and his twin brother laughing inside the VIP room.
"If Scarlett found out on her birthday that she had been sleeping with random guys for three years like a cheap whore, would she lose her mind on the spot?"
"More than that. I will use her 'cheating' as an excuse to demand Alexander demote her to a low-ranking Omega. She has only herself to blame for bullying Chloe."
So three years of sweet romance was nothing but a revenge trap Lucas set for Chloe.
Even every intimate moment was just a calculated identity swap between the twins.
But they had no idea. Chloe was the real bully.
A year later, when I became the mate of Alpha Ethan, they begged for my forgiveness on their knees. I only smiled.
"Too late. I have been reborn. And you will burn in hell forever."
Scarlett POV
The day my pregnancy test came back positive, I braved a massive storm to go to the bar where Lucas was partying.
Outside the VIP room, I took a towel from the waiter, wiped my soaking wet hair, and waited to surprise him when the party ended.
Through the slightly open door, a laughing male voice drifted out.
"Lucas, your birthday party with Scarlett is in a week. Got the surprise ready?"
"Of course," Lucas's cold, deep voice was laced with alcohol. "I'll give her a night she'll never forget."
My hand froze on the towel. I couldn't help but smile.
In our three years together, even though he hadn't marked me yet, he had treated me like a princess, spoiling me to my bones.
"If Scarlett finds out I've been pretending to be you and sleeping with her all this time, will she go completely insane?"
"I bet that stupid girl would never guess in a million years that Lucas has an identical twin brother, Liam!"
"Isn't she always so high and mighty? If she finds out she's been shared by you two for three years, I can't wait to see the look on her face."
The malicious laughter made me freeze on the spot.
I couldn't believe my ears. I took a step forward, peering through the crack of the door.
In the next second, I saw a man sitting next to Lucas who looked exactly like him. From his face to his hair, even the tiny mole under his eye was identical!
The man smirked, leaning back lazily on the couch.
"She brought this on herself for bullying Chloe. Chloe is Lucas's sweetheart. To punish Scarlett and drag her down to hell at her peak, Lucas really put in the work."
His friends, who were usually so nice to me, chimed in with sneers.
"Liam, you're the one who worked hard. You did all the heavy lifting in bed these past few years!"
"Man, if I looked like Lucas, I'd have taken a turn too!"
"Right? Scarlett has the face and the body. If she goes crazy after the birthday party, why don't you pass her down to us?"
"Lucas came up with this plan for Chloe and acted for three years without even touching Scarlett himself. What a loyal man!"
Lucas. Liam. Chloe.
My head spun, my blood freezing in my veins. I couldn't breathe.
My body trembled uncontrollably, tears spilling from my eyes.
The love I thought was heaven was actually a sick trap.
A trap designed to avenge Chloe, the real bully.
I remembered waking up from nightmares of Chloe's torment, and Lucas holding me, whispering that I didn't need to be afraid.
I remembered telling him about my past trauma, and him soothing me over and over.
He even had the pack healer brew special ointment to fade my scars.
I couldn't believe it. I didn't want to.
Those moments of love felt so real. How could they be a lie?
The voices inside the room continued.
"Chloe is coming back soon. Lucas, you won't have to keep slipping out every week anymore!"
"After three years of playing role-play, I can finally be myself! Every time Lucas was out of town, I was the one comforting Scarlett." Liam sneered.
"Your voices are different. She never noticed?"
Liam scoffed. "That dumb bitch? I kept my voice low and told her my throat was sore. Every single time, she'd fuss over me and wake up at dawn to brew me soup!"
Another burst of roaring laughter.
Lucas cut them off. "Enough. Once the party is over, I'll apply to Alpha Alexander to have her demoted to a low-ranking Omega and assign her to the hardest labor. But you guys better behave yourselves until then."
"Lucas, you're not getting soft on her, are you?"
My heart squeezed. I held my breath, staring intently at the handsome man.
After two seconds, he let out a cold snort.
"Are you kidding me?"
"What about Liam? You've been sleeping with her for three years. Didn't catch feelings?"
Lucas turned to Liam. Liam shook his head violently.
"Three years? I got sick of her a long time ago. Lucas, why don't you take a turn?"
Lucas sneered. "No thanks. Too dirty."
"Alright, anyway, she's still a pack member. Alexander hates seeing pack members mistreated."
"Let's drop it. I need you guys to help me prep."
"In a week, right after we expose her, I'm going to propose to Chloe!"
