No Longer April Mayo: Heiress Returns

For seven years, l gave up my life as a corporate heiress for a modest house with the man who saved me and our son. l chose love over an empire.
That choice shattered the night he came home smeling of another woman's perfume. He called his affair a "business merger" butthe headlines told the real story. He was choosing power over his family.
His mother summoned us to the family estate only to announce his mistress was pregnant with the "only legitimate heir” in front of everyone, she offered me a job as a maid and said my son could stay on as an adopted orphan.
My partner, the man l gave up everything for, stood by her side and said nothing as his mother publicly erased us from his life
My five-year-old son looked up at me, his voice trembling, and asked a question that destroyed the last piece of my heart
"Mommy, if she's having a baby.. then what am l?'
But the final blow came on his birthday. His mistress tricked us into attending their engagement party, where he pushed our son to the floor and denied him. As his family attacked me, my son begged him for help, calling him "sir"
In that moment, the woman he knew died. l took my son's hand, walked out of that life forever, and made the call to the empire l had abandoned. lt was time for the world to remember my real name.
