Gone for a Year, She's 8 Months Pregnant:The Hidden Billionaire's RevengeChapter 1

New Year's Eve.

I'd spent an entire year overseas, clawing open foreign markets for my father-in-law—exactly as I'd promised. Now I was back to deliver the good news in person.

What I found instead was my wife, her belly visibly swollen, perched on another man's lap.

Cynthia Pruitt flinched when she saw me. She started to pull away, but the man tightened his grip on her hand.

"It's okay, babe. I'm right here."

Then he turned to me with a lazy smile. "So you're Marcus Dickerson. Hate to break it to you, but it was the Henson family that opened those foreign markets for Uncle Walter. He's already agreed to let Cynthia be with me."

Before I could say a word, my father-in-law stepped out from the hallway. The look of undisguised contempt on Walter Pruitt's face could have curdled milk.

"Marcus, haven't you seen the news? I've already announced the alliance between Pruitt Corp and Henson Corp. You're not fit to be my son-in-law anymore. If you know what's good for you, you'll sign the divorce papers and get out of my daughter's life."
