Hidden Heiress Strikes Back

Emma POV

Jasper Parrish, my husband, was cold and distant with me most of the time, but even so, I lived to please him, always loving him and fighting for our marriage, believing that if I put a lot of love and care into it, he would start to see me as I deserved to be seen.

Since I was his secretary, I picked up a stack of papers and went to his office so he could sign, since he was the CEO of the company. But that was just my insistence on being able to be close to him. I loved him so much, I had left everything behind to be with him, and I would never stop to fight for this marriage.

"Excuse me, darling. I hope your fingers are ready because I brought you a little work." I was saying that in a light mood as I opened the door to his office room, but I was stunned by the image I saw in front of me. The stack of papers I was holding ended up on the floor.

"Don't tell me, Kaylie," he replied unapologetically as he nonchalantly signed the papers. Didn't he feel any remorse that he was cheating on me right under my nose?

At that moment, when I heard her name, I looked at the woman in surprise. Kaylie? I had heard that name before. Wasn't she my husband's ex-girlfriend?

Kylie smiled cynically at me, raising her fingers in a wave. "Hello, Emma. It seems like you are now realizing who I am," she said mischievously.

"Why is your ex-girlfriend here, Jasper?" I was feeling so angry.

"Her name is Kaylie Abbott," he replied, as if correcting me. "She will be the new director of the company's financial department."

"What?" I was shocked. I had a degree in finance and had great references, and when I said I wanted to work in that, he put me in
