Married a Secret Billionaire

Linda found herself walking on an endless road, surrounded by darkness on both sides. As she searched for the only source of light, she heard the sound of ocean waves and faint calls of “Mommy, mommy…”

Her heart raced as she caught sight of a little girl running toward her with open arms, resembling a bird in flight. “Pammy!” she cried out, rushing forward. But as she reached out, she stepped into emptiness and let out a scream.

Linda abruptly woke up, realizing she was in her own bed at home. Their family doctors and a teary-eyed Nicholas surrounded her, holding her hands tightly.

Struggling to speak, she managed to call out to him, “Nic…”

“Where’s our daughter?”

Before Nicholas could respond, there was a soft knock on the door, and Renee entered the room.

Their expressions changed upon seeing her, but Renee remained calm. She had been waiting for this day, relieved that the burden in her heart had finally been lifted.

Renee knelt before them, causing them to be momentarily shocked before feeling a pang and wanting to help her up. But the determined girl insisted on kneeling.

“I’m sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Thompson.” Renee spoke softly but heavily. “I should have told the truth from the start, but I was too afraid… I know I was selfish. You might have reunited with your daughter if it wasn’t for me. It’s my fault. I’m truly sorry…”

“Why would we blame you, you silly goose!” Linda mustered the strength to sit up, and Nicholas helped her. He also helped Renee to her feet. “If not for you, we might have been deceived forever.”
