About

What happens when the past refuses to stay buried? Navier thought she had moved on from the wreckage of her former life—six years after prison, she’s built a new reality, running a humble hamburger shop on the city’s west side. But fate has a way of stirring old ghosts. A seemingly innocuous video confession from a woman who thrived on betrayal turns Navier’s world upside down. The woman boasts of love, deceit, and a life of luxury, all while casting shadows over Navier's own history with Dwayne Maguire.

When Dwayne unexpectedly walks through the door, the air thickens with unspoken words and unresolved feelings. His apology hangs heavy between them, but Navier’s heart has hardened over years of grief and betrayal. She’s not the same woman he left behind, and she’s determined to show him that she’s moved on—until he mentions their son, Noah. The painful reminder of all that was lost threatens to unravel everything she’s built.

In this gripping tale of love, loss, and vengeance, can Navier truly let go of the past, or will the echoes of betrayal pull her back into a world she fought so hard to escape?

The Woman You Should Not Have WrongedChapter 1

Six years after my release from prison, I opened a hamburger and fries shop in the west side of the city.

My life was just getting back on track.

Yet on an ordinary afternoon, I swiped over a "confession" video from an emotional blogger.

In the video, she proudly boasted about how she married into a wealthy family. How she gradually kicked the original wife out of the house. And how she secured her so-called perfect life by expertly manipulating her husband.

"Why did the latecomer surpass the early ones? Because I know how to compete and seize opportunities."

"Remember, the one who isn't loved is the mistress."

"The self-righteous, aloof old woman was destined for misery."

I thought her values were warped and clicked "not interested."

But then, while kneading dough that afternoon, it suddenly dawned on me, everything she said sounded exactly like what had happened between me and Dwayne Maguire.

The video was blurry, making it hard to see anything clearly.

I casually swiped into the homepage list and sure enough, I saw Dwayne's back in the pinned video.
