Divorce Failed! My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 1033

This time, Maeve sat down and seriously explained her entire family history to Andres.

All the background information Andres had dug up when they first met was fabricated, down to her date of birth.

Her father wasn't Luka Morales of the Morales Group; she didn't have a drop of their blood in her veins.

As Maeve described it, her parents were incredibly eccentric, and their history was pure, unfiltered melodrama.

"My dad was... deeply flawed in his youth. How should I put this?"

She paused, trying to find the right words.

"Possessive, paranoid, sharp-tongued, aggressively controlling, and ruthlessly cold. Honestly, none of those words fully capture his madness."

Andres found it hard to reconcile those traits with the man he knew of.

Julian Reed was the former CEO of the Reed Group.

Anyone capable of running such a massive corporate empire flawlessly had to be exceptionally competent.

But Maeve's next words completely shattered his assumptions.

"My dad's severe personality defects probably stemmed from his messed-up childhood."

"My grandmother fell ill and died shortly after he was born."

"After that, my grandfather brought home a never-ending parade of women, basically leaving my dad severely emotionally neglected."

"When a kid grows up starved of affection, they develop issues. And when you have issues, you don't make friends."

"Terrified that his sole heir would never produce an heir of his own, my grandfather handpicked a dozen little girls from orphanages to grow up alongside him."

"For better or worse, my mom was one of them."

Hearing this, a single thought crossed Andres's mind.

"I don't think he understood what love was back then. His obsession with my mom was terrifyingly toxic."

"He dictated every aspect of her life—what she ate, what she wore, who she talked to. He had to control it all."

"But my mom is from the North. She's fierce, hot-tempered, and explosive."

"Being treated like a prisoner 24/7 drove her absolutely crazy."

"So their relationship turned into an endless war of oppression and rebellion. And somehow, in the midst of all that chaos, they fell for each other."

"When she was nineteen, she had my brother."

"Logically, having a baby should have brought them closer together."

"But you'll never guess what my dad did next. He was horribly jealous of the baby. Titus consumed all my mom's attention, and my dad couldn't handle it."

"Feeling completely replaced, he grew to despise his own flesh and blood."
