Married To My Husband’s Father
In her first life, he took everything from her. Now, in this life, she demands her revenge. Evelyn King was the perfect pawn in high society, a demure, devoted fiancée to billionaire heir Julian Vance, blissfully unaware of the corruption lurking behind his charming smile. But everything changes after a deadly, rigged car crash and the agonizing discovery of Julian’s affair with her childhood best friend, Chloe. Evelyn sees the brutal truth: her marriage was a setup, her wealth a target, and her death orchestrated for profit. Instead of fading into oblivion, she wakes up ten years in the past, on the morning of the Vance Summer Gala, the night Julian plans to announce their engagement and trap her forever. Refusing to play the pawn, Evelyn makes a bold, deadly choice. She leaves behind the boy dressed in pretenses and walks straight to Arthur Vance Julian's estranged and ruthless father, a formidable financial titan ruling high society with an iron fist. Armed with secrets from her previous life, including a dark ledger revealing that Julian isn't even Arthur’s biological son, Evelyn proposes a scandalous marriage of convenience. By uniting her family's voting power with Arthur's, they aim to strip Julian of his inheritance before he even realizes the war has begun. The society is appalled. Julian’s fury spirals into madness, a psychotic rage convinced Evelyn is a greedy viper who stole his birthright. Yet, what Julian and the media fail to see is that Evelyn’s alliance with Arthur is more than a scheme for money; she’s stepping into a den of wolves. As they delve into a decades-old family conspiracy, the icy contract between them begins to ignite with a dangerous, possessive passion.

Chapter: Chapter 58: What’s Chloe Up To?Chloe sat at the small vanity in her room, staring down at the screen of her phone. The room was dark except for the light bouncing off her face and the dim street lamp shining through the thin window curtains outside.She tapped her fingernails against the edge of the desk—tap, tap, tap.Three days. The Annual Maritime Gala was only three days away. Every wealthy family, every corporate giant, and every high-society figure in the city would be walking through those doors at the Metropolitan Harbor Hotel. Arthur would be there. Evelyn would certainly be at his side, wearing fine silk and real diamonds, standing as a chairwoman.Chloe’s chest tightened. She squeezed her phone so hard her knuckles turned white. She had no invitation. Without a ticket or a pass, the private security guards at the front gates would turn her away like a stray dog.She picked up the phone, unlocked the screen, and scrolled down her contact list until her finger stopped over a name.

Chapter: Chapter 57: Tension BuildingJulian’s hand went up to his hair, his fingers gripping the dark strands tightly as he stared at the drawn blinds. The house was dead quiet, but for the first time in his life, Julian felt like he was standing in the middle of a crowded room with a hundred eyes staring directly at his back.By mid-afternoon, the sun had fully broken through the clouds over the estate, throwing sharp, bright rays across the long glass conservatory that attached to the eastern wing of the main house.The room was warm, smelling heavily of damp soil, blooming jasmine, and rich green ferns. Large green potted plants lined the stone walls, their leaves fanning out over white benches.Evelyn stood near a tall ficus tree, a small pair of shears in her hand.She was trimming the dead leaves off the lower branches, but her movements were jerky and unfocused. Every time the iron blades clicked together, her mind flashed back to the breakfast table. She could still feel the cold weight of Dona Margaret’s pale

Chapter: Chapter 56: Planning for a Baby?She turned on her heel, her cane tapping a steady beat on the floor as she walked out, leaving the bedroom door wide open behind her.The dining room was large, cold, and dominated by a long dark table that could seat twenty people.At the far end, three places were set with white porcelain plates, silver cutlery, and tall crystal glasses filled with fresh orange juice. A large silver tray holding hot toast, poached eggs, and steamed sausages sat in the middle of the table, sending up faint wisps of steam into the chilly air.Margaret sat at the head of the table. She had already unbuttoned her coat and laid her gloves beside her plate. Her hands were folded neatly over a linen napkin in her lap.Arthur walked in first, wearing a crisp white shirt with the top two buttons undone and grey trousers. Evelyn followed two paces behind him, wearing a soft cream sweater and a simple black skirt. Her eyes were fixed on the floor, her feet moving quietly.Arthur pulled out the chair to Margare

Chapter: Chapter 55: The Perfect CuddleLater that night, while Thomas slept, Chloe stood by the vanity counter in Thomas's room. Her fingertips traced the rim of an empty glass. Her eyes fixed on the comb sitting beside the mirror. A few stray strands were caught in the bristles—Thomas’s hair.Julian had taken some. She had seen him do it. He thought he was being smooth, but she had caught the quick, calculated moves.Chloe pulled her chair back and sat down, leaning her elbows on the surface. Thomas was not her father. She had known that for a long time. If Julian wanted to play investigator with a dying man's hair, let him.She stood up, pushed the comb into the top drawer, and slammed it shut. She had rent to pay, bills stacking on the counter, and a life that was slipping through her fingers like loose sand. Thomas’s secrets couldn't buy her a meal.Across the Vance Manor, the door connecting the private study to the master bedroom clicked open.The room was dim, lit only by the low amber glow of the fireplace.

Chapter: Chapter 54: The Unseen WitnessFifteen minutes passed in continuous conversation. Thomas continued to talk about past grudges, while Chloe occasionally added a quiet observation from her position near the fireplace.Julian waited patiently, his hands resting on his knees, watching for the right moment to act.At 4:05PM, Julian paused in the middle of a sentence, shifting his body in the deep chair. He rubbed his hands together slowly, placing his right hand flat over his stomach."Excuse me, Thomas," Julian said, his voice full of easy, polite apology as he stood up from the armchair. "Where is your washroom? The coffee I had earlier is catching up with me."Thomas waved his hand toward the open doorway of the sitting room."Out the door, down the hallway to the left," Thomas said without looking up from his drink. "First door on the left side.""Thank you," Julian said smoothly.He turned around, walking across the rug with easy, unhurried steps. He stepped out of the sitting room, entering the hallway that ran t

Chapter: Chapter 53: Julian’s Suspicious VisitThirty minutes later, Julian’s car pulled up to the curb in front of Thomas Henderson’s private residence.Julian stepped out of his car. He buttoned his suit jacket, smoothed down his hair with both hands, and took a slow, deep breath to steady his racing pulse.He walked up the stone steps, his leather shoes making solid, echoing sounds against the steps.He reached the door. He extended his right hand, his index finger pressing the button of the doorbell.From inside the house, a soft two-tone chime echoed through the halls.Julian stood on the porch, his hands resting inside his coat pockets. His heart was beating fast against his ribs, but he forced his face into a relaxed and neutral mask.The door swung open three inches, then stopped.Chloe stood in the opening.She held the edge of the door with her right hand.The moment her eyes fell on Julian’s face, her whole body froze.Her eyebrows pulled up in immediate, genuine shock. Her lips parted slightly, her eyes widening as she
