The respectable fiancee hiding a stolen child in Fated to My Neighbor Boss

A hidden twin and a stolen identity

Katrina takes one of Sherry’s twins and claims the boy as her own, using the deception to become Ethan’s fiancee. The setup places a false mother beside the true father while the real mother remains absent. That gap between public role and private truth creates the central tension.

The perfumer’s return after six years

Sherry comes back as a famous perfumer known as Siren, exposing the lie and reuniting with her stolen child. Her professional reputation gives her standing to challenge Katrina’s position. The time jump sharpens the stakes by letting the deception settle into an apparently stable family.

Why the mistaken-parentage setup works

This premise relies on a familiar trope: the impostor who assumes a family role that belongs to someone else. It works because it forces two adults to share a child while only one knows the biological truth. The conflict persists as long as the secret remains hidden.
