He Got a Stand‐In, Then Lived to Regret It

The day I found out I was pregnant with my CEO’s baby, he ordered me to buy condoms for him and his new intern. I stood by him from a basement office to a successful IPO. I waited five years for him to marry me, only to watch another woman take my place—and get all the love and promises I never received. So I quit and walked away. Only then did he discover the truth: he had fallen for the intern because he mistook her for the woman he slept with that night. That woman was me.
