Revenge Is a Dish Best Served Roasted - Chapter 9: Chapter 9

I had to admit, the old man made a damn good point.
So I hired a private investigator to dig into Logan's past—and what I found was even worse than I imagined. Turns out, Logan's mom was my father's first love. She got pregnant with his kid before they could get married, but my dad never knew. It wasn't until after he married my mom that the truth came out. His mom shipped him off to the Montgomerys, hoping to give him a better life. And from there? Everything spiraled out of control.
But the real gut punch? The sheer hatred Logan had for my mom. He blamed her for ruining his mother's relationship with my dad. Instead of moving on, he spent years trying to destroy my parents' marriage. Problem was, my parents were always buried in work, so his little schemes never even made a dent.
Then he turned his sights on me.
After his mom remarried and got pregnant again, she ended up in the same hospital as my mom—and that's when things took a truly twisted turn.
In some sick twist of fate, Logan used his half-sister, Jessica, to steal my life.
While I was dumped in an orphanage, suffering through hell, Logan and Jessica lived like royalty.
That is, until the day my dad showed up at the orphanage on a charity visit and saw me.
Something about me struck him—something familiar.
A paternity test later, and the truth hit like a freight train. I was the child he'd accidentally taken in.
At first, my parents thought it was just some freak accident. But looking back now? It was all part of a long game—a meticulously crafted plan by someone with a grudge.
And Jessica's little "suicide attempt" after I came back? Not as innocent as it seemed.
I had the surveillance system fixed, and when I combed through the footage, I uncovered the ugly truth—Jessica had been setting me up from the start.
She tried to frame me, to get me kicked out of the Montgomerys. But in the end? Her plan backfired—hard. Now she's stuck in a vegetative state.
Let's be real—this brother-sister duo? Pure evil.
And the real reason Jessica clung to the Montgomery name? Not love, not loyalty. She just couldn't stomach the idea of going back to a life of struggle.
Once everything clicked, my parents finally cut their trip short and came home. I laid it all out for them—every dirty detail. When my father, Gary, heard the truth, he snapped. He was ready to bring the full force of the law down on Logan.
And let me tell you, his idea of punishment? Brutal. He grabbed a whip lined with barbed hooks—one of the most terrifying things I'd ever seen.
But Logan wasn't backing down. "I didn't do anything wrong!" he screamed. "You abandoned my mom and married her! You're the one who hurt her—what right do you have to punish me?"
Gary's hand shot out before anyone could react, slapping Logan hard across the face. "You ungrateful little bastard! I raised you like my own for your mother's sake, and this is how you repay me? By scheming against your sister?"
Then he hurled the paternity test at Logan's chest. "From now on, you're not my son. Get the hell out of my house."
Logan's face went ghost-white as he ripped open the test, his eyes widening in shock. The results were undeniable—he wasn't my father's son. Not by blood.
His mother couldn't take care of him, so she handed him off to her old flame—my dad.
And my mom? She took him in, gave him everything. To avoid scandal, she even claimed he was my father's real son. She endured the whispers, the judgment, all to protect his reputation. And what did she get in return? Lies. Betrayal. A knife in the back.
In my past life, Logan had orchestrated it all—letting Jessica steal my identity, live my life, and deceive my parents until the very end.
They never knew.
Not even when they died did they realize the daughter they fought so hard to bring home was never really theirs.
When Logan finally processed the truth, he lost it.
He shredded the paternity test, screaming, "This is bullshit! I'm a Montgomery! The entire estate was supposed to be mine! You've been lying this whole time just to hand everything to Alexa!"
