I Was Reborn To Marry This Annoying Man?

I Was Reborn To Marry This Annoying Man?

She underwent a death experience—at the hands of the family she cared for most, who then sold her off. At eight years old, Seraphina Valeza was adopted from an orphanage by the Hawthorne family, a run-down third-rate family in Lunada City. She lived for fifteen years there, always careful, thankful for a house that was not her home. She was an excellent student, kept her sufferings to herself, and obeyed them in return for their "kindness." When the Hawthorne family was on the verge of bankruptcy, they chose survival over conscience. Seraphina was forced to marry Julian Moreau, the heir of a second-rate elite family. The marriage was hell. Behind closed doors, Julian humiliated her, controlled her every move, and crushed her dignity. In public, she was paraded as a trophy wife; in private, she was nothing more than a disposable tool. Once Julian seized full control of the Hawthorne family, Seraphina lost even her last value. With no way out, she resorted to suicide. But destiny wanted otherwise and gave her another chance. She found herself in the same spot as she was on the day of her marriage. This time she did neither crying nor begging. Instead, she smiled and switched the groom. In front of stunned guests, Seraphina walked past Julian and stopped before a man sitting casually at the banquet table, dressed out of place and enjoying the food as if the wedding had nothing to do with him. Lucien Cross. The annoying guy she constantly quarreled with in college. The man who cried while carrying her dying body in her past life. The one whose love she came to realize onlqy when it was too late. This time, Seraphina will not let him go. And all those who wronged her will be punished, without exception.

Chapter: Chapter 190: Hoshino Gems Global
The room exploded.Voices rose all at once—angry, incredulous, furious."This is robbery!""Sixty percent?! Just like that?!""Are you out of your minds?!"The calm, refined atmosphere from moments ago shattered completely.What was presented as an "exchange" had turned into open coercion.Dorothy's fingers tightened.For a brief moment, she stepped forward, clearly intending to grab the microphone—To deny it.To stop it.—But she froze.Held back.—Lucien noticed.The smallest movements.The tension in her shoulders.The hesitation in her eyes.Something was wrong.Without drawing attention, he pulled out his phone.Typed quickly.Sent a message.Not to one person.—To several.—Then he put the phone away.—"Relax," the host said from the stage, raising a hand.Her tone remained calm.Almost soothing."You won't be giving it away for free."A faint smile."You will become part of this unification.""Your names will be remembered."She tilted her head slightly."You should be ha

Chapter: Chapter 189: To Unify
Behind Dorothy, two figures followed closely.A woman and a man.At a glance, it was easy to tell—They were not ordinary attendants.Their posture, the way they carried themselves, the sharpness in their eyes—They belonged to the upper ranks of the IGJF.Executives.—Yet there was something off about them.Something… unpleasant.Their expressions were composed, but there was no warmth, no professionalism that matched the occasion.Still, no one paid attention.Because right behind them—Two more figures entered.Familiar.Too familiar.Seraphina's gaze sharpened.Lucien's eyes narrowed slightly.Jaycee Torres.And Cassy Torres.For a brief moment, Seraphina felt a flicker of surprise.Why were they here?Why were they following behind Dorothy?But the thought passed quickly.Around them, the atmosphere shifted again.Several guests immediately approached Dorothy, offering greetings, introductions, and polite conversations.Through the exchanges, Seraphina picked up a few names.The

Chapter: Chapter 188: Summit
After staying for five days in Solene City—dividing their time between the Valeza and Cross villas—Lucien and Seraphina finally left Aurelia.Their destination—Sakura Country.The event they were attending was called:The Global Gemstone Exchange Summit.Organized by the International Gem & Jewelry Federation, the summit aimed to bring together the world's most renowned gemstone designers, collectors, and industry leaders.Its purpose went beyond simple exhibition.It was a platform.For exchanging knowledge.For showcasing innovation.For discussing emerging techniques in gemstone cutting, design, and sourcing.But more importantly—It was where influence was built.Partnerships.Alliances.Power.Everything could be shaped here....The venue was located in Kiyomizu District, one of the most prestigious areas in Sakura Country.Inside the Imperial Sakura Grand Hotel—The most luxurious hotel in the district.On the seventh floor—The summit was being held.The moment they stepped o

Chapter: Chapter 187: The Invitation
By noon, Lucien and Seraphina remained at the main villa for lunch.The dining hall was vast.A long table stretched across the center, polished to perfection, reflecting the soft light from the chandeliers above.Yet despite its size—Only four seats were prepared.Four plates.Four sets of utensils.Nothing excessive.Nothing unnecessary.One by one, dishes were brought out.Carefully plated.Balanced.Steamed fish with delicate herbs.Roasted meats glazed to perfection.Fresh vegetables arranged like art.Light soups, rich broths.And desserts waiting at the far end.Everything was quiet.Organized.Seraphina and Aurora had already taken their seats.Lucien sat beside Seraphina.Moments later—Lucio entered.His expression—Once again stern.Composed.As if the earlier scene in the ancestral house had never happened.He took the main seat at the head of the table.Without a word.The meal began.For a while—Only the soft clinking of utensils could be heard.Then—Aurora spoke."So

Lucien narrowed his eyes slightly."Do you have somewhere to be, Dad?"Lucio paused.His expression shifted."…What did you just say?"Lucien continued, completely unfazed."Seraphina and I are already married."He gestured lightly."We already have a marriage certificate. That 'proper wedding' you're talking about is just formality."A pause."And right now, we have a lot of things to handle."Lucio's gaze sharpened."Is anything more important than your wedding?"His tone was firm.Unyielding.Lucien nodded calmly."I'm already married.""The ceremony can wait."Lucio frowned."What ceremony?""Formal wedding," he corrected immediately. "Not a 'celebration.'"Lucien shrugged."Same thing.""Money, food, guests."Aurora pressed her lips together.Barely holding back a laugh.Lucio's expression darkened."Same thing?" he repeated."You call a family wedding… the union of two major families…""A 'meal'?"Lucien leaned back slightly."Well… isn't it?""People come. They eat. They leave.

Chapter: Chapter 185: Proper Wedding
"Wow…"Seraphina couldn't help but whisper as she stopped in place.Her eyes moved slowly across the interior.The inside was even more breathtaking than the exterior.The ceiling stretched high above, adorned with intricate gold patterns that reflected the light from a massive crystal chandelier hanging at the center. The floor beneath them was polished marble, smooth and flawless, its surface reflecting their figures like a mirror.Tall pillars stood along both sides of the hall, each carved with delicate engravings—symbols of power, history, and lineage. Between them were framed portraits of past leaders of the Cross family, each one radiating authority even in stillness.On the side—A grand staircase curved upward, almost identical in structure to the one in the Valeza main villa, leading to the second floor where the inner chambers likely resided.But what drew the most attention—Was at the far end.A golden throne.Not exaggerated.Not overly decorated.Yet unmistakably—A sea

Contract Marriage with Mr. Impotent

Contract Marriage with Mr. Impotent

At a young age, Faerie White feels less than free. As the oldest daughter of the struggling White family, she is used to being trampled on by her powerhungry father, her jealous stepmother, and her wicked half-sister-all those would-be conquerors within the family. With her dear mother literally hanging onto life and with imminent financial ruin hovering over the family like a dark storm cloud, Fae is given an icy ultimatum: either marry a notorious first-class playboy or subject her own mother to wait until medical attention comes to a standstill. But then, life has a different direction that it can take her. Richard Gold is the wheelchair-bound heir no one takes seriously. Fae sees something else in him: a man with fire behind those silent eyes. In an offer that has him proposing a marriage of convenience and also offering to cover her mother's medical expenses, Fae produces a life-altering decision. What she doesn't expect, however, is that Richard's secret power isn't the hobbled recluse that everyone assumes that he is. He hides from a world that determines his worth purely based on his status as the secret power behind a multi-billion empire. Unknowingly, Fae has married the king of it all. As she evolves from drowning daughter to dominating wife, Fae learns to wield power in her own right. Taking on corporate espionage, family betrayal, and identity theft in the heat of a high-end kitchen. Through love, lies, and freedom wars, she destroys all the lies that once chained her down. But when the ultimate secret drops-about her real father and the fortune she is about to inherit the enemies come rising from every corner and even love will have to be put to the test.

Chapter: Chapter 365: Pahinga
Sa sumunod na araw, maagang nagising si Fae. Banayad ang sinag ng araw na tumatama sa kurtina, at ang malamig na hangin mula sa aircon ay halos ayaw siyang paalisin sa kama. Pero dahil sanay siya sa disiplina at routine, bumangon siya, ini-stretch ang braso, at kinuha ang kanyang telepono.Habang nakaupo sa gilid ng kama, nag-dial siya ng number. Dalawang ring pa lang—"Good morning, Ate Fae!"Isang matamis, napakabanayad, at masiglang boses ang sumagot.Ngumiti si Fae. "Micaela, kumusta ang Baker's Group?"Oo. Ang nasa kabilang linya ay si Micaela—dating suwail, dating magaspang ang ugali, dating puno ng yabang at galit… pero ngayon, ibang-iba na. Buong-buo, mabait, sweet, at parang mas bata pa sa totoong edad dahil sa lambing niya. Pinatawad na siya ng lahat at mahal na mahal niya ang kanyang Ate Fae.Sandaling tumahimik si Micaela bago nag-amin:"Ate… okay naman. Pero… kelan ka babalik ng Cebu? Miss na kita."Napangiti si Fae, napabuntong-hininga, halatang namiss niya rin ang kapat

Matapos ang ilang araw ng tamis, halakhak, at hindi masukat na lambing sa Maldives, muling bumalik sa Manila ang mag-asawa. Paglapag pa lang ng kanilang private jet sa NAIA VIP terminal, agad nilang naramdaman ang bigat pero saya ng pagbabalik-trabaho. Magkahawak-kamay silang bumaba sa hagdan ng jet, sabay hinga nang malalim—handa para sa bagong kabanata, hindi lang sa pag-ibig, kundi pati sa kanilang pinapanday na mga pangarap.Pagdating sa villa, nag-unpack lamang sila sandali bago muling naghiwalay ng landas kinabukasan para tuparin ang kani-kanilang tungkulin.Kinabukasan, pumasok si Richard sa Gold Prime Enterprises Headquarters. Binati siya ng mga empleyado na nakapila pa sa lobby, halos parang sinasalubong ang isang presidente ng bansa."Good morning, Chairman!" bati ng marami.Ngumiti lang si Richard. "Good morning. At hindi pa ako Chairman. Hindi pa ngayon," sabi niya, kaswal pero may bahid ng misteryosong plano sa boses.Pagkapasok niya sa boardroom, naroon na sina Kevin, Mo

Chapter: Chapter 363: Honeymoon
Pagkatapos ng seremonyang punô ng luha at kilig, lumipat ang lahat sa engrandeng open-air reception area sa may beachfront. Crystal chandeliers hung from elegant tent structures, golden lights reflecting off the calm waves. Soft instrumental music played in the background habang isa-isang pumapasok ang mga bisita.Richard and Fae arrived last—hand in hand, glowing, and very much in love."Ladies and gentlemen…" sigaw ng announcer,"…the newly married couple—Mr. and Mrs. Richard and Faerie Gold!"Umalingawngaw ang palakpakan....DINNERHabang kumakain, si Kevin ay… well… si Kevin pa rin."Ay Ma'am Fae," sabi ni Kevin habang sinusubo ang isang napakalaking sugpo,"kung alam mo lang, iniyakan ako ni boss Richard kagabi dahil kinakabahan daw siyang ikasal.

Chapter: Chapter 362: Husband and Wife
Nang magkaharap na sina Richard at Fae sa altar, huminto ang musika at pumalit ang marahang hampas ng alon sa background. Tila pati ang dagat ay nakikinig.Ang presider ay ngumiti, tumingin sa bride and groom, at nagsalita:"Today, we witness a union blessed not just by family, but by every moment that shaped who you both are. Richard, Faerie… handa na ba kayo?"Sabay silang tumango.Sabay din silang napangiti—'yong ngiting punong-puno ng pagmamahal na hindi na kailangan ipaliwanag.Huminga nang malalim si Richard, hawak-hawak ang kamay ni Fae."Fae… noong araw na nakilala kita, hindi mo alam, pero doon nagsimula ang buhay ko ulit."Napaluha agad si Marcela. Si Kevin, pinipigil ang hikbi. Si Ariel Lim naglabas ng fan para takpan ang kilig niya."Pinakita mo sa akin," pagpapatuloy ni Richard, "kung ano ang totoong tapang—hindi 'yong kayang lumaban… kundi 'yong kayang magmahal kahit maraming sugat. Fae, ipinapangako ko… na sa buong buhay ko, ikaw ang magiging tahanan ko. At ako ang magi

Chapter: Chapter 361: Walang iiyak
Tumigil ang lahat.Nakahawak pa si Kevin sa kutsara, nakabuka ang bibig. Si Marcela napa–"oh?" nang mahina. Si lola napahinto sa pag-inom ng tsaa. At si lolo, nakangisi.Si Richard at Fae… parehong napatingin sa isa't isa.Walang salita.Pero parehong alam ang sagot.At mula sa katahimikan na 'yon—nag-transition ang mundo.Ang araw ay nasa golden hour, sumasayaw ang mga kulay kahel at rosas sa langit. Sa baybayin ng isang private luxury beach resort—isang lugar na tanging mga ultra-elite lamang ang karaniwang inaanyayahan—unti-unting dumarating ang mga bisita.Hindi basta bisita.Mga kilalang personalidad mula sa iba't ibang bansa—billionaire CEOs, royals mula sa Europe, media moguls, fashion icons, at ilang political dignitaries.May sariling VIP welcome lane. May paparazzi section.

Chapter: Chapter 360: Sorpresa
Natigilan sina Fae at Richard, sabay pang kumurap, matapos marinig ang sinabi ni Marcela."Mama…?" unti-unting nam crumple ang mukha ni Fae sa nahiwagaan.Napailing si Fae. "Ma, iba ang sakit mo. Hindi amnesia."Bahagyang suminghap sina Fernando at Kevin—pero si Marcela?Tumawa, malumanay pero halatang may kasamang pang-aasar."Oh my goodness, anak," sabi niya habang tinatakpan ang bibig na parang nahuli sa kalokohan. "I'm joking. Can't a mother make a little joke? Nakakakaba ka naman."Napabuntong-hininga si Fae, napahampas ng bahagya sa braso ng ina. "Mamaaaa!"Si Fernando naman, umiling nang nakangiti. "Hija, kahit kailan… hindi talaga mawawala ang kulit ng mama mo."Saka muling humarap si Marcela kay Richard. Mula sa malambot na ngiti, unti-unting lumalim ang ekspresyon niya—puno ng pasasalamat at paggalang."Richard… thank you," sabi niya, taos-puso at bahagyang nanginginig ang boses. "Salamat sa pag-aalaga sa anak ko… lalo na noong panahong mahina siya… at wala ako para gabayan
