You Broke Your Vows, So I Replaced You
“If you don’t come back in thirty minutes, I’ll replace my bride, Jackson.”
Jackson Langham only laughed.
Everyone knew that Ava Celeste was deeply in love with Jackson. There was no way Ava was serious about her threat. The man was far too confident that Ava would never leave him.
But on their wedding day, Ava finally realized the bitter truth: she had never been Jackson’s priority. Even in the middle of a ballroom filled with Manhattan’s elite families and the media, Jackson still chose to leave with another woman.
For the first time, Ava stopped.
When everyone thought the wedding would end as a family scandal, Maverick Langham, Jackson’s uncle, suddenly extended his hand.
“I can’t give you love, but at least I can save your dignity today. So... will you marry me?”
Ava said yes.
In a single night, she went from Jackson’s future bride to his uncle’s wife.
Jackson finally realized how precious the woman he had taken for granted all this time was. He wanted to win Ava back, but this time, Ava was no longer the woman willing to wait for him.
Could Jackson win her back when Ava’s heart had already chosen another men?

Chapter: 48bAva gave a small shake of her head without releasing him. "Nothing. I'm just happy."Maverick smiled faintly. He didn't ask any further questions, allowing Ava to enjoy the feeling for a few moments before they continued their journey.Not long afterward, the car stopped in front of the museum building. Ava straightened her clothes, preparing to get out, but Maverick stepped out first and walked around the car to open the door for his wife.Ava looked at him with a small smile. She had grown accustomed to Maverick's attentiveness, but whenever he did something like this without being asked, it still brought warmth to her heart."Will you be busy today?" Maverick asked."I think so. There are a few things I need to check before the gallery opens. And most importantly, the auction preparations."Maverick nodded. "Then don't forget to have lunch. I'll pick you up later."Ava smiled. "You don't have to go to all that trouble, Mr. Maverick. I can have lunch here with Miss Bell.""I know."

Chapter: 48a"Yes, she's my cousin," Ava replied without hesitation. "She might arrive in the city tomorrow. Although the news circulating says she's already here, she's actually still out of town."Maverick nodded slowly, as though the answer matched his expectations. "I suppose she agreed to collaborate with Langham Group because your name is listed as one of the organizers of the art gallery."Ava chuckled softly. "You could say that. But it might also be because she wants to see what my husband is like."Maverick turned to her. "Me?"Ava nodded, a smile still lingering on her face. "Valerian and I are quite close. Of course she'd want to know what kind of man I married, especially after I'd been away from home for so many years."Maverick didn't answer immediately. He understood that beneath Ava's teasing, there was a family bond she had maintained despite leaving Birmingham a long time ago. And if Valerian really was a cousin she was close to, it was only natural that she would want to get to

Chapter: 47b"Yes," Maverick replied briefly.Sam immediately broke into a wide smile. "Wow."Ava looked slightly confused. "What?""I didn't expect my uncle's wife to be like this.""Like what?""I don't know." Sam scratched his head, chuckling softly. "I thought you'd look a lot more intimidating."Maverick raised his gaze.Sam quickly added, "I mean, not intimidating. It's just that, you know what Uncle is like. I imagined his wife would be just as serious."Ava finally let out a soft laugh.Sam extended his hand. "I'm Samuel. But just call me Sam.""I'm Ava.""I know." Sam's smile grew even wider. "And now I understand why Uncle never seems bothered when he has to go home early."Ava blushed slightly. "What do you mean?"Sam glanced at Maverick. "Uncle really is a lucky man."Ava smiled faintly. "I'm the lucky one to have met Mr. Maverick."Sam immediately raised an eyebrow. "Mr. Maverick

Chapter: 47aThe following morning, Ava woke up. For a few seconds, she felt so comfortable that she almost closed her eyes again. However, when she tried to change positions, her body brushed against something warm beside her.Ava immediately opened her eyes.She froze when she realized Maverick was sleeping beside her. His face looked so peaceful that, for a moment, Ava almost forgot how she had ended up there. But a few seconds later, she remembered their conversation the night before.And Maverick's request for her to move into his room because he had said he could sleep better with Ava by his side.Ava held her breath for a moment.She then tried to move slowly. She didn't want to wake Maverick, especially since he still seemed to be fast asleep. Carefully, Ava tried to slip her head off Maverick's arm and pull the blanket back slightly so she could get up.However, she had barely moved a few inches when the man's deep voice sounded. "Good morning,

Chapter: 46bEleanor let out another long sigh. "She's been around our family for years. I've known her for a long time. It's difficult for me to accept that everything she's done all this time was actually planned."Jackson looked at his mother calmly. "I don't mind if you still can't believe it, Mom."Eleanor lifted her head."But I'm starting to keep my distance from her." Jackson's voice was firm. "And I want you to do the same. At least until we know what she really wants."Eleanor remained silent for a few moments before finally giving a small nod. "I'll be careful."Jackson leaned back in his chair. His expression then changed as the conversation shifted to something that mattered far more to him."I really want Ava back, Mom."Eleanor let out a long sigh."Jackson, I know you regret what happened. I also know you've only just realized how serious your mistakes were." She looked at her son for a long moment. "But there's one thing yo

Chapter: 46aRio entered Jackson's office carrying several documents the man had requested earlier. He placed them on the desk before explaining, "I've looked into the painter. Unfortunately, there's very little information we've been able to find."Jackson opened the files and read through several pages. Valerian C.'s name appeared in records of various major auctions and exhibitions, but information about the painter's personal life and whereabouts was extremely limited.Even an address or contact information that could be used to reach the painter was not readily available."All right. You can go home now."Rio looked at him for a moment, a hint of concern on his face. For the past few nights, Jackson had almost always remained in his office until late. Rio didn't even know when the man actually got any sleep."Mr. Jackson, you should get some rest too. These past few nights, you've...""That's enough. You don't need to worry about me."Rio fin

You Broke Me First, Now You Beg
After coming out of exile, instead of being warmly welcomed, Aeris had to replace Cyntia, her younger sister, in marriage. She had no choice but to agree. Even so, she set a condition that infuriated her family.
They labeled Aeris a gold-digger.
She never expected that the rumored groom, an old man with two troublesome children, would actually be Andreas Castillano, a cold and untouchable young tycoon.
As if that weren't enough, Andreas’s two children led Aeris into many difficult choices. Meanwhile, Cyntia, still unable to accept why Aeris could have Andreas Castillano as her husband, tried every possible way to ruin their marriage.
But Aeris learned that the things that bind people together are not merely blood ties.
And when the truth began to come to light, one piece after another, everyone who had ever hurt Aeris began to regret what they had done. They begged Aeris for forgiveness, but...
“Tell me, Baby. What would be the right punishment for those who once hurt you?”

Chapter: 57Denisa hadn't had a chance to respond to Aeris when several people began approaching them.Donna and David arrived with Cyntia. All three seemed to notice the tension between them, but none of them made any attempt to ease it.On the contrary, Donna actually smiled faintly when she saw Denisa standing face-to-face with Aeris.“What's going on? It looks like you're having an interesting conversation.”Denisa glanced at them before turning her attention back to Aeris. “Nothing particularly important. I'm just reminding someone not to forget her past too quickly.”Donna chuckled. “In that case, it sounds like you're talking about the right person.”Aeris turned to look at her older sister. “Donna.”“What?” Donna shrugged. “I'm only stating the truth. Besides, don't we all know what your life was like before?”David, standing beside them, joined in. “It s

Chapter: 56bShe couldn't deny that the man had a distinctive appeal. His appearance was impeccable, his manner composed, and even the way he stood was enough to draw the attention of those around him.But it wasn't just Andreas's appearance that impressed Cyntia.When an important guest approached him, Andreas greeted him with a brief exchange. He didn't need to raise his voice or make an excessive show of himself to earn other people's respect. Every word he spoke was firm and measured.Even some of the people who held high positions seemed particularly careful when speaking to him.Cyntia watched it all.She was beginning to understand just how influential the man was. Andreas wasn't merely the heir to the Castilano family. He was someone who truly wielded power and commanded the respect of those around him.Without realizing it, her gaze drifted back to Aeris.The woman stood beside Andreas, receiving the same attention and respect from the gu

Chapter: 56aOn the other side of the mansion, not everyone was happy about Andreas and Aeris's wedding celebration.Ruth and Denisa, on the other hand, saw the party as an opportunity they had been waiting for. Neither of them intended to let Aeris enjoy the evening in peace, especially now that the woman had secured an increasingly prominent place at Andreas's side.In a private room far from the guests, Denisa was sitting with Ruth when Cyntia came to meet them.“Well? Is everything ready?” Denisa asked as soon as Cyntia sat down.Cyntia smiled faintly. “Of course. I've already given you all the information you need.”Ruth leaned back against the sofa. “Are you absolutely sure this information can be used to bring her down?”“I wouldn't give you anything I hadn't verified.” Cyntia looked at them both in turn.“You just need to bring these things up in front of the right people. I'm sure the

Chapter: 55bAbout a week later, the reception celebrating the marriage of Andreas Castilano and Aeris was finally held.The Castilano Mansion looked different from usual.The main garden was decorated with arrangements of white and cream-colored flowers. Crystal lights had been installed in several corners, while long tables were neatly arranged with luxurious decorations. A main stage stood in the center of the garden, becoming the focal point for the guests who had begun to arrive.The celebration was attended by many prominent figures, including representatives from the four major families. The Castilano, Rievera, Montana, and Jackal families all took part in organizing the event. Each family had sent representatives and offered their support to ensure the reception went as planned.Quite a few guests were talking about the lavishness of the event.For some, the celebration was more than just a wedding reception. It was also an opportunity to see how the re

Chapter: 55aThe decision to go ahead with the wedding reception wasn't something Aeris accepted right away.After everything that had happened to the Castilano family, she felt that holding a large celebration and inviting so many people would only create more opportunities for those who wanted to harm them.Andreas, however, had a different perspective.That night, they discussed the wedding reception plans again in the living room. Several documents from the wedding planning team had been arranged on the table, including the guest list and the proposed decorations.“I still don't think this is the right time,” Aeris said.Andreas, who was reading one of the documents, looked up. “Why?”“You know what's going on. We still don't know who's behind all this. Virgo hasn't even regained consciousness. What if they use the reception as an opportunity to do something?”Andreas set down the document in his hand. “I won't let that happen.”Aeris looked at him. “You can't guarantee that everything will go

Chapter: 54bThe recording ended.Andreas didn't say anything immediately. His expression turned cold, while his hand slowly clenched at his side.“Does Piere know about this?” he asked at last.Aeris nodded. “I've already sent him the recording. I asked him to find out who's been in contact with Roy and make sure the man doesn't get away.”Andreas was silent for a moment before saying, “Call Bruno in here.”Not long afterward, Bruno came to meet them. Andreas immediately asked him for an update on the preliminary examination of the vitamin bottle.“After examining it, I can confirm that this isn't a product Mr. Leo and Miss Chloe usually take, sir. However, we still need to conduct further tests to determine what's in it.”“So you can't confirm yet whether it's safe to consume?”“Not yet, sir.” Bruno let out a quiet sigh. “But I've already given a sample to the Castilano family doctor. We'll have the results tomorrow.”Andreas stared at the bottle for a few moments. “Secure it. Don't let anyone t
