Divorce Failed My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 538

"I have things to take care of out here. If you want to wait, then sit at home and wait."

Without giving him a chance to respond, Anya hung up the phone.

Watching the endless stream of evening traffic, she felt a hollow ache. The world was so vast, yet it felt like there was nowhere left for her. Before Maeve arrived in Aethelburg, Anya had been the golden girl everyone adored and envied. The moment Maeve stepped into her life, everything fell apart.

She still couldn't wrap her head around it. Maeve and Andres had zero history before that one encounter at The Grand Horizon Hotel. How did they jump straight to living together? The thought that Maeve had stolen the romantic destiny that was rightfully hers made Anya want to see her dead.

Out of the corner of her eye, Anya noticed a little girl, maybe four or five years old, standing alone by the curb, looking entirely overwhelmed. She was adorable, dressed neatly with her hair tied in cute space buns, clutching the straps of a plush teddy bear backpack. In the chaotic rush hour crowd, no one spared the lost child a second glance.

She had clearly wandered away from her parents. Anya quickly scanned the perimeter, looking for anyone who might be searching for her, but saw no one.

Then, over the noise of the traffic, a woman's frantic voice carried down the street. "Cece! Where are you? Cece! Cece!"

The street was too loud for the little girl to hear her mother, but Anya heard it clearly. The mother was in a blind panic, rushing up to every passing stranger to ask for help, completely missing the fact that her daughter was just down the block.

In this modern, cynical city, no one cared about a desperate, terrified mother. But an incredibly bold idea suddenly sparked in Anya's mind. This was a godsend. Fate had just handed her the perfect opportunity to rewrite her narrative.

By eight o'clock that evening, a sensational headline dominated the top trending spots on every major social media platform:

Aethelburg's Most Beautiful University Student Bleeds to Save a Family.
