The Billionaire's Mistake

MISTAKE 153

Chapter 153: Exposing Gina

"Don't act so surprised, Gina," Anya said, her voice dripping with contempt. "I know all about your affair. You've been raising another man's son all these years while pretending to be such a perfect wife. It's disgusting. You're nothing but a fraud."

Gina felt her knees go weak, and she had to grab the edge of the desk to steady herself. She'd thought no one knew about this secret. She'd guarded it so carefully for so many years. She looked at Martin nervously, terrified that he might believe what Anya was saying. "That's enough, Anya!" Martin shouted, his face red with fury. His fist clenched around the phone so tight his knuckles turned white. "You will not talk to your aunt that way! I won't

stand for it!"

But Anya wasn't finished with her devastating revelations. "Oh, and I know about what you did with the lawyer too," she said accusingly, her voice as sharp as a knife. "How you secretly changed Dad's power of attorney behind his back so you could control his shares. You're horrible, both of you. Nothing but lying manipulators."

Gina couldn't believe what she was hearing. Her hands trembled as she sank into the nearest chair. She never thought Anya would discover so much about their carefully hidden secrets. Each word felt like another nail in the coffin of their family relationship. "Watch your back, Martin," Anya said with a chilling laugh that made both Martin and Gina shiver. "Accidents can happen at any time. Since she already paid the lawyer, this would be the perfect time for you to have an unfortunate accident then all your property would go straight to her. Don't just take my word for it though - I'll send you an email with proof of everything."

Then Anya hung up, leaving Martin and Gina sitting in their study, surrounded by a heavy

silence..

Martin stared at Gina with a dark look on his face, still trying to understand everything Anya had just told them. Seeing Gina crying only made him more suspicious, but he still wasn't sure what to believe.

"What was Anya talking about?" Martin asked in a cold voice, looking straight at Gina and waiting for her to explain.

Gina cried harder, her whole body shaking. "Anya hates me," she said between sobs. "She's just trying to break us apart."

Martin looked over at their daughter Courtney, who stood nearby looking confused and worried. Could what Anya said be true? The thought made him feel sick to his stomach, and he couldn't push away the doubt that was growing in his mind.

Looking back at Gina, Martin asked the question that was eating away at him. "Is Courtney my

But Anya's words had planted a seed of doubt that wouldn't go away, making him question everything he thought he knew about his family.
