While I Bury Mom, He’s Livestreaming with His MistressChapter 1

I was at my mother’s funeral. Out of nowhere, the housekeeper rushed up to me.

“Miss Lucia, Mr. Grant’s mistress just gave birth!”

Steven Grant—my fiancé—didn’t deny it. He just said calmly, “You should focus on the funeral first.”

The next day, he didn’t show up to pay his respects. Instead, he called me, “I’ve been staying at the postnatal recovery center to help take care of Nel. I won’t make it to the funeral.”

When I didn’t respond, he sighed. “Look, it was just a mistake. Nel has no intention of coming between our families—she just wants to keep the baby. But I’m the father. I can’t pretend the child doesn’t exist. After we get married, I’ll spend Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at her place to help raise the baby. The rest of the week, I’ll be home with you.”

My hands curled into fists. I smiled through the sting in my eyes. “Steven, it’s over. The engagement is off.”

He scoffed. “Your mom just died. Don’t make a scene.”

I hung up without a word. Then I walked straight up to Steven’s biggest rival.

“Marry me. Let’s bring down the Grants. Are you in?”
