The Fake Heiress' New Life Chapter 01

Everyone in Los Angeles knew Frederick Hayes—the golden heir to a sprawling business empire—cherished Sabrina, the fake heiress of the Carson family, above everything and everyone.
A year earlier, when the long-lost true heiress Penelope Carson was finally located and welcomed home, the Hayes family demanded Frederick break off his engagement to Sabrina and marry Penelope instead.
He knelt in the grand living room and took ninety-nine brutal lashes, then walked barefoot across searing coals—bleeding, unbowed—until his family finally yielded and let him marry Sabrina.
After the wedding, his passion for Sabrina burned hotter than ever, consuming them both night after night in relentless desire until she became pregnant and he finally began to restrain himself.
Eight months pregnant, Sabrina had just finished her prenatal checkup and hurried to Frederick's office, clutching her baby's high-definition ultrasound images. Just as she raised her hand to push the door open, she froze.
Laughter and voices drifted from inside.
"Freddy, it was all for Penelope, wasn't it? Marrying the fake heiress, making her conceive a child just to harvest the umbilical cord blood... You've sacrificed so much for Penelope. Is all this cruelty truly worth it?" Frederick's best friend asked.
Frederick answered without the slightest hesitation, "Of course, it is. As long as Penny gets better, I'm willing to pay any price!"
Those words pierced Sabrina's heart like a blade driven straight through her chest.
"You and Sabrina grew up together. Aren't you afraid she'll completely fall apart once she finds out the truth?" Frederick's friend pressed on, a playful glint in his eyes.
Frederick fell silent for a brief moment before speaking coldly. "Sabrina lived Penny's life for 20 years. This is a debt she must pay. Besides, once the child is born, I'll make it up to her properly."
A buzzing noise filled Sabrina's ears, and her heart felt as though someone had carved out a piece of it.
The love and devotion she had believed in so deeply turned out to be nothing more than a carefully orchestrated lie meant for her alone.
She staggered out of the building and collapsed weakly against the side of the road as tears streamed down her face.
In her heavily rounded belly, the tiny life seemed to sense her despair and squirmed restlessly.
Sabrina gently touched her belly, then pulled out her phone and called her biological parents overseas.
"I've thought it through. I'll go to Germany and live with you."
Excited sobs came from the other end of the line. "Rina, that's wonderful! We can finally be together. But you're pregnant... Will Frederick really let you come see us in Germany?"
Hearing Frederick's name, Sabrina clutched her phone until her knuckles turned white. Her face clouded over. "I've decided to divorce him. I'll arrive in Germany in a month."
Just as she was about to hang up, a cold voice sounded behind her. "Where are you going?"
She turned and met Frederick's deep, unfathomable gaze.
She was about to speak when his phone rang, and his expression turned serious the moment he answered.
"Alright, I understand. I'll bring Rina to the hospital right away."
After hanging up, he tightly grasped Sabrina's wrist.
"Honey, the doctor called—your check-up today didn't look right, and they want you to come back for another exam."
As Sabrina looked into his bloodshot eyes, a sense of dread rose in her chest.
"I'm not going. My results were perfectly normal. If there was a problem, why did the doctor contact you instead of me?"
Frederick's expression darkened as he pulled her toward the car. "You'll understand once we get there. I'm the child's father. I won't hurt you or the baby."
Despite her resistance, Sabrina was dragged into the car.
The vehicle sped down the road, and her unease deepened as she stared out the window. "This isn't the way to the hospital where I usually have my check-ups."
Frederick's expression remained unreadable as he tightly enclosed her hands in his. "I'm taking you to the private hospital on Grand Avenue."
Sabrina's heart plummeted.
If she remembered correctly, Penelope had been receiving treatment there all along.
"Let me out! I don't want to go to the hospital!"
She struggled desperately, but Frederick only tightened his grip. "You don't have a choice."
When they arrived, Sabrina immediately saw her adoptive parents rushing toward her with doctors and nurses pushing a stretcher.
"Freddy, Penny's condition has worsened again. We can't wait any longer. We need the umbilical cord blood immediately."
Tears welled up in Sabrina's eyes. She stared at the couple she had loved and honored for twenty years, paralyzed by shock.
"The baby is only eight months old. A C-section now would put both of us in serious danger. I'm begging you, please wait a little longer, okay?"
Sabrina looked at Frederick, pleading.
He coldly brushed her hand aside and allowed the medical staff to strap her onto the stretcher. "Rina, it's just delivering the baby early. It won't harm you, and it will save Penny. Everyone benefits."
His words pierced her heart like a thousand needles.
"Did you ever ask me if I was willing?"
Sabrina’s mother, Mildred Carson's expression darkened. "You lived under Penny's identity for 20 years. You owe her this much, and it's time for you to repay her."
Tears streamed down Sabrina's face as she clutched Frederick's hand. "Frederick, this is your baby inside me. Please... I'm begging you. Just give me two more months so the little one can be born healthy and strong."
Frederick's gaze turned icy as he pried her fingers away. "Penny can't wait."
With that, he shoved Sabrina into the operating room.
Just as the doors were about to close, a pair of hands pressed against them.
Sabrina looked at Frederick with desperate hope, but he didn't even glance at her.
He stared at the doctor coldly, his voice devoid of emotion. "No anesthesia. Don't let it affect the umbilical cord blood. Perform the C-section directly."
That single sentence shoved her into complete despair.
