His Abandoned Wife Is A Billionaire Heiress

Olivia’s Pov

The car stopped in front of a stunning, breathtakingly white house. Its beautiful design and perfectly groomed lawns left me speechless.

Having grown up working for the wealthy Cooper family and later marrying into wealth, I thought I had seen it all. But this house was on a completely different level. It reeked of nothing but luxury.

The exterior walls were decorated with beautiful stone designs, while the huge windows reflected the moonlight like diamonds. A large fountain stood at the entrance, its gentle splashing creating a strangely calming sound.

As I stared at the magnificent house in awe, I suddenly felt the car door open.

I turned and realized the guards had already stepped out and were now waiting for me to get down.

I stepped out gently, my eyes still fixed on the majestic house.

The moon cast a silver glow over the perfectly manicured grounds, while the gentle night breeze carried the sweet scent of blooming flowers through the air, creating an almost peaceful atmosphere.

“OH MY GOODNESS, OLIVIA!”

I heard my name being called.

I turned around, and my eyes immediately met Mrs. Carter’s.

The Minister’s wife was rushing toward me at full speed, a radiant smile plastered across her face.

Before I could even say a word, she wrapped her arms around me and pulled me into a tight hug, completely catching me off guard.

I stood there frozen, unsure of what exactly was happening.

My eyes darted toward Mr. Carter, the Minister himself, who stood a few feet away from us.

His expression was filled with emotions I couldn’t quite identify.

Sad?

Happy?

I honestly couldn’t tell.

But one thing was certain— the warmth in his eyes was genuine.

Strangely, it made me feel safe.

“Thank you, my baby. Thank you so much for staying alive,” Mrs. Carter sobbed, her trembling voice muffled against my body as she continued holding me tightly.

I remained frozen, unsure of how to react.

My eyes returned to Mr. Carter, and he was still looking at me with that same warmth in his eyes.

“Um… I… I don’t know what to say. Can you please tell me what exactly is going on? I’m quite confused,” I muttered carefully, my voice barely above a whisper.

I was still completely confused by everything happening around me.

Earlier, when their men had referred to me as “Ms. Carter,” I had assumed they were mistaken.

But judging from the way these people were behaving, I could tell that something much bigger was going on.

Mr. Carter stepped forward.

He gently placed a hand on my hair and caressed it, his eyes now brimming with unshed tears as he locked gazes with me.

“Welcome home, dear. We’re so thrilled to have you back where you rightfully belong,” he said, his deep voice cracking with emotion.

“Huh?”

Mrs. Carter slowly pulled away from me, her face stained with tears.

“Yes, Olivia. Welcome back home. We thought we had lost you, dear. We thought…” she began, but her voice broke, and she burst into tears again, burying her face against my shoulder.

I stood there awkwardly.

I didn’t know whether I should wrap my arms around her and comfort her or simply let her cry.

“Mrs. Carter, I—”

“Call me Mom, dear.”

She pulled away from me and gave me a sweet smile.

Something about that smile immediately reminded me of Daniel’s mother.

That was exactly how she used to look at me— with nothing but pure love.

“What?!” I exclaimed.

“Dear, I know you’re very confused right now, but don’t worry. We will explain everything to you once we get inside. Can we go in for now and talk about everything inside?” Mr. Carter asked gently.

I nodded.

Even though I was still confused, I quietly followed them inside.

At that moment, nothing was more important to me than staying away from Daniel and having a roof over my head.

My heart swelled with relief at the thought that I would finally be safe here.

I didn’t know what any of this meant, but one thing I was certain of was that I was going to be safe.

As long as I never had to see Daniel again, I was willing to accept whatever came my way.

The moment we stepped inside, my jaw dropped once again.

The interior was even more stunning than the exterior.

From the fancy light fixtures to the beautiful paintings and luxurious furniture, everything screamed wealth and elegance.

Mrs. Carter turned toward me and smiled.

“Welcome home, dear. Please, have a seat and make yourself comfortable.”

I nodded as she guided me toward a comfortable couch.

She sat beside me, gently taking my right hand in hers and caressing my fingers.

“Aren’t you hungry? Do you want me to get you something to eat? What would you like? Just tell me, and I will prepare it for you right away,” she said, still stroking my fingers with one hand while gently rubbing my hair with the other.

“Um… just water is fine,” I mumbled, loud enough for her to hear.

I suddenly realized how thirsty I actually was.

There were several maids moving around the house, but surprisingly, Mrs. Carter got up herself to get me the water.

I would be lying if I said I didn’t have questions.

So many thoughts were running through my mind.

But I choose to remain calm.

A few moments later, she returned with a glass of water and handed it to me.

“Thank you.”

I gulped down the entire glass in one go.

That alone proved just how thirsty I really was.

After a while, Mr. Carter cleared his throat.

His expression had suddenly become serious.

“Olivia, I know you’re confused about everything right now, but I want you to know that it was never our fault that we abandoned you. We had no idea you were swapped at birth.”

I stared at him in confusion.

“Swapped? What do you mean, swapped? Who got swapped? And can you please tell me what exactly is going on?”

“We will, dear.”

Mrs. Carter took a deep breath before continuing.

“You see, it all started twenty-six years ago, when I was about to have you. It was such a happy moment for your father and me because it had taken us lots of years after our marriage before I finally became pregnant.”

“We were so happy when we discovered that I was carrying you. Your father, especially, couldn’t contain his joy.”

“On the 15th of September, I gave birth to you.”

She paused, her eyes filling with tears.

“And we never knew that you had been swapped with another baby at the hospital.”

I stared at her silently.

“We happily welcomed another child who wasn’t even related to us into our family. We showered her with love, care, and everything she could ever need, never knowing that our real daughter was somewhere out there, suffering and going through hell.”

“When she turned twenty, she fell critically ill. We rushed her to the hospital, and after several tests were conducted, the doctor told us she needed a blood transfusion.”

“Your father and I were ready to give her our blood. We were desperate to save our precious daughter.”

She paused, swallowed hard before continuing again, “But when the test results came out, we discovered that our blood didn’t match hers.”

“We were confused. There was no way our blood wasn’t supposed to match hers.”

“The doctor suggested that we conduct a DNA test. I refused at first because I strongly believed she was our daughter. But eventually, we agreed. And that’s when we discovered the truth.”

Mrs. Carter’s voice trembled.

“She wasn’t our biological daughter.”

My heart began pounding hard as she said that.

“I was devastated. I kept asking myself how the daughter I had loved and raised for twenty years could turn out not to be mine.”

“Your father was my only source of strength. He assured me that everything would be fine and that together, we would get to the bottom of the mystery.”

“We began making inquiries and eventually discovered that you had been deliberately swapped at the hospital at birth.”

“The identity of the person who did it remains unknown to this day, even though we’re still doing everything we can to find her.”

Tears rolled freely down Mrs. Carter’s cheeks as she speaks.

“I have so many questions for that woman. Why did she do this to my precious baby? Why did she take you away from me? What did we ever do to her? What did we do to deserve such an evil act?”

By now, her entire face was covered in tears.

And somehow, everything she was saying sounded painfully genuine.

But I still couldn’t bring myself to believe it.

How could someone walk into a hospital and swap two newborn babies?

I was just a newborn.

I had barely entered the world.

I didn’t know her.

I hadn’t offended her.

So why would she deliberately give me a bitter and painful life from the very beginning?

Why would she make me experience suffering and hardship when my real parents were actually filthy rich?

What did I ever do to her to deserve such a life?

The questions raced through my mind as tears began streaming down my own cheeks.

“I was so angry and hurt, Olivia. I couldn’t believe that all those years, I had been nurturing someone else’s child. Your father and I decided to secretly search for you.”

She reached for my hands and held them tightly.

“After another painful five years, we finally found you.”

A broken smile appeared on her face.

“You have no idea how happy your father and I were when we found you. We had no idea you had been so close to us all these years. I’m so glad you’re here now, Olivia. I’m happy that you’re finally in my arms and under my watch. I’m sorry.”

Her voice cracked at the end of her sentence, before adding again, “I’m truly sorry that I let you down all these years. I’m sorry I wasn’t there for you.”

“I wish we had found you earlier, but it wasn’t easy. We tried. We really tried our best to find you, but it took time. I’m so sorry it took us this long to find you.”

She clutched my hands tightly, tears streaming down her face.

We were both crying now.

Mr. Carter crouched down in front of me and reached out to wipe away my tears.

But I immediately shoved his hand away and jumped to my feet.

“So… are you telling me that I’m your biological daughter and Juliana isn’t?”

My voice trembled with confusion.

I still couldn’t believe everything I had just heard.

Maybe they were mistaken.

How could I possibly be dealing with two major problems at the same time?

First, there was the betrayal of my husband— the man I had trusted with all my heart and believed would never hurt me.

And now… I was discovering that I had been born into one of the wealthiest and most prestigious families in the country.

I stared at them in disbelief.

I AM THE TRUE DAUGHTER OF THIS FAMILY?

“Yes, dear.”

Mrs. Carter nodded, tears still running down her face.

“You’re our long-lost, precious daughter. And you’re right. Juliana was the baby who was swapped in your place.”

“AND WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN BY THAT, DAD?!”

A familiar voice suddenly screamed from behind me.

I froze.

Slowly, I turned around.

And there she was.

Her fiery eyes were locked directly onto mine, filled with nothing but rage.

For a few seconds, neither of us moved.

Then, without warning, she charged toward me.

Her eyes blazed with pure fury.

And the look on her face told me one thing… she was ready to do something crazy.
