Chapter 1

My husband is a famous "clueless boy-dad" influencer on TikTok.

Once, he actually forgot our daughter in a shopping cart at the mall and walked three floors away before realizing it.

Another time, he held the umbrella entirely over himself in a downpour, leaving our daughter, Stella, to run behind him. She tripped, fell, and cut her forehead open trying to keep up.

Every single time, he would apologize with tears in his eyes.

"Chloe, I swear I didn't mean to. You know how forgetful I am."

I chose to forgive him. But the very next day, while taking Stella out of the car, he slammed her toes right in the car door.

This time, he had just landed a million-dollar project. Using "celebration" as an excuse, he took Stella downstairs for a walk.

To teach him a lesson he’d never forget, I secretly had our nanny, Maria, take Stella back to my family's estate.

I wanted to see him panic. I wanted him to finally learn his lesson.

But to my absolute shock, instead of searching for our daughter, my husband calmly walked back through the front door with a toddler in his arms.

"Since Stella is lost, and you're infertile anyway, I can't just let the Miller family legacy die with me."

"I adopted this boy. He’ll take care of us when we're old."

I turned around, walked into the other room, and called my billionaire brother.

"Ethan, crush that bastard."

"And that project he just got? Cancel it immediately."
