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: 53bAeris shook her head slightly. “Not right now.”Andreas nodded. He didn't press the conversation any further.Once breakfast was over, Andreas got ready to leave for the office. Leo and Chloe went with him as well, since he would be dropping them off at school.Before leaving, Andreas turned to Aeris. “If anything happens, call me immediately.”Aeris smiled faintly. “All right. And don't forget to have lunch.” Then she looked at Leo and Chloe. “Have fun at school. I'll pick you up on time.”Andreas simply nodded before leaving the mansion with the two children.That afternoon, Aeris was in the living room when Bruno came to see her.“Good afternoon, Madam.”Aeris turned toward him. “What is it, Bruno?”“I'd like to introduce someone to you. They're from one of the leading wedding planning companies in the city.”Aeris was slightly

Chapter: 53aAndreas quickly put on his sleeping robe. After making sure his clothes were in order, he returned to Aeris, who was still standing near the door.“Wait in the room. Don't come out until I return.”“But—” Aeris couldn't possibly just sit and wait.“Please,” Andreas interrupted quickly. “I'll be back soon. You must be tired. You should stay with Leo and Chloe.”Andreas had a point. If she insisted on joining the search for the person, there would be no one to look after Leo and Chloe. In the end, Aeris nodded, though her gaze remained fixed on the corridor.Andreas immediately called over one of the security guards stationed on the first floor. They quickly came over to him.“Conduct a thorough search of the entire mansion. Check every floor and every room, including the entrance gates. I want to know if there's anyone here who shouldn't be.”“Yes, sir.”“Check the CCTV footage as well. Don't miss a single corner.”After giving his orders, Andreas hurried to the surveillance room to se

Chapter: 52bAndreas frowned slightly. “Why do you keep asking me the same question?”Aeris smiled faintly. “Because I want to make sure, you're not doing this just because Mr. Montana nagged you about it.”“I don't change my decisions just because Jerry nags me.”His answer made Aeris laugh softly.Andreas watched her for a moment before turning his attention back to the road ahead. “And the last dress you tried on earlier would be perfect for the reception.”Aeris's laughter stopped. She turned so quickly that Andreas glanced at her again. “The last dress?”“Yes.” Andreas looked at her casually.“You... remember it?”Andreas looked at her with a furrowed brow. “What do you think I've been paying attention to you for all this time?”Aeris was at a loss for words.She could still remember the way Andreas had looked at her when she wore that dress. His gaze had been so different that she'd momentarily forgotten they were in a boutique with Leo and Chloe.Now, Andreas was even telling her that the d

Chapter: 52aJerry pointed his chin at Andreas. “Are you even a man, Andreas?”Aeris fell silent.Andreas merely looked at Jerry without showing any particular reaction.Jerry continued, his expression full of disbelief. “You got married with nothing more than the bare minimum? No wedding celebration? The head of the Castilano family, of all people. I never would have expected you to do something like that.”Aeris lowered her gaze for a moment. She hadn't expected their conversation to turn to her marriage.“It's fine,” she said eventually. “I don't mind.”Jerry immediately shook his head.“That's your business, Aeris. I'm not talking about whether you mind or not. I'm talking about Andreas.”He turned toward the man in question.“Are you not embarrassed at all? I even held an extravagant wedding for my younger sister. And what about you? You married a woman but didn't give her a proper wedding celebration? You even left her at the altar and got busy with North Port?”Andreas looked at Jerry with

Chapter: 51Andreas entered Mike Rievera’s hospital room at a brisk pace. Virgo followed behind him, carrying several files containing the results of their investigation.Mike, who was reclining against the hospital bed, immediately turned toward him. One of his arms was secured in a brace, while several wounds were still visible on his face.Andreas stopped beside the bed. “How are you feeling?”Mike gave him a faint smile. “Aside from the fracture in my arm, I’m still alive.”Andreas let out a long sigh. He pulled a chair closer to the bed and sat down without taking his eyes off Mike.“What about your aide?”The smile on Mike’s face slowly faded. For a moment, he didn't answer. His gaze shifted toward the window, as though he were trying to come to terms with what had just happened.“He died at the scene.”The room fell silent.Andreas lowered his gaze briefly before looking back at Mike. His jaw tightened, but his voice remained calm as he spoke.“I won't let this go.”Mike turned to look at

Chapter: 50bAndreas briefly ended his call and looked at his daughter. “Haven't you two already picked one?”“But we want to know which one you like, Daddy.”Andreas glanced toward the fitting room. “Choose the one she likes best.”Chloe didn't seem satisfied with that answer, but Leo quickly pulled her away to look at some other dresses.A few moments later, the boutique employee brought over the last dress Chloe had chosen. As soon as she saw it, the girl immediately asked Aeris to try it on.Aeris hesitated for a moment. The dress looked different from the others. Its floral embroidery was denser, while the layers of fabric appeared exceptionally soft and light.However, seeing the hopeful look on Chloe's face, she finally nodded. This time, Aeris took longer to put on the dress once she stepped into the fitting room.The dress was ivory, with a silhouette that gently hugged her curves before flaring out into an elegant, floor-length skirt. The bodice featured a V-shaped neckline that wasn't t

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: 44a“Of course.” Jackson smiled broadly. “Whatever you want.”Deep down, he had no intention of wasting this opportunity. No matter how hard he had to persuade Ava later, he didn't mind. This time, Jackson was going to fight for her. He would win Ava's heart back and ask her to divorce Maverick.They then sat in a relatively quiet area of the lobby café. Ava chose a seat somewhat removed from the other customers, while Jackson sat across from her.At first, their conversation was entirely about the collaboration between Langham's promotional division and ArkanStone Museum, where Ava worked.Jackson discussed several matters concerning the collaboration with the museum, the collections that would be auctioned, and a few details he felt they needed to discuss in person. Ava responded seriously. After all, this concerned the museum where she worked, and she didn't want to mix her personal affairs with her professional responsibilit

Chapter: 43bAva smiled brightly at his response.So, without telling him beforehand, Ava went to Maverick's office, bringing lunch she had specially prepared for the two of them.Along the way, Ava had even imagined Maverick's expression when he saw her suddenly appear at his office. For some reason, simply picturing it was enough to make the corners of her lips lift.For the first time, Ava felt like doing something simple just for someone who had become part of her life over the past few months.When she reached the floor where Maverick's office was located, Ava walked calmly. Several employees who recognized her immediately greeted her, and she returned their greetings with a light smile.She hadn't told anyone that her visit was meant to be a surprise. Ava had even imagined how Maverick would look at her when he suddenly saw her carrying lunch.However, when she was only a few steps away from Maverick's office, her pace gradually slowed. The office

Chapter: 43a“Thank you for tonight, Mr. Maverick,” Ava said as soon as she got into the car.“It's no problem.”Ava adjusted her seating position to get comfortable. The journey back to the mansion was fairly quiet. However, unlike their previous ride, Ava seemed much more cheerful this time.A faint smile still lingered on her face, and every now and then, she gazed out the window, unable to hide her feelings. Her meeting with Arthur had truly begun to fill the emptiness inside her that had lingered for years.She hadn't expected her father to welcome her so warmly after what she had done seven years ago. It would be a lie to say Ava didn't regret it, and she was determined to maintain their good relationship from now on.Although Arthur had initially remained cold toward her, perhaps a father's deep love for his child made everything that had happened in the past a part of growing up.“If you want to see your father again, you can visit him anytime,” Maverick suddenly said.Ava turned to him. “

Chapter: 42cJackson didn't answer. He simply kept his gaze fixed on her, making Megan begin to feel uncomfortable. Something was different. Something she couldn't understand.“Jackson, I...” The woman tried to sit up a little, but Jackson had already turned away.“Jackson,” Megan called out in panic.He didn't stop. Even when Megan called his name again, Jackson continued walking toward the door. “Jackson, wait. Where are you going?”Jackson stopped right at the doorway but didn't turn around. “I have nothing to say to you.”After that, he opened the hospital room door, but before leaving completely, Jackson looked at his mother for a few moments.Eleanor was already there. Her face showed that she was weighing many things in her mind.“Mom, do you still want to stay here?” Jackson asked flatly.Eleanor turned toward Megan's hospital room door. The shock on her face had yet to com

Chapter: 42bAnother woman in the room said something, but her voice was too soft to make out clearly. Megan then let out a quiet laugh.“If anything, I need to be more careful now. I've come so close to becoming part of the Langham family. There's no way I'm going to give up everything I've gained just because Jackson suddenly regrets his choices.”Eleanor's eyes widened.Meanwhile, Jackson's jaw slowly tightened.Not long ago, he had still been trying to find a way to understand Megan's actions. He had even held himself back from confronting her immediately after overhearing her conversation with Amber. But what he was hearing now made his feelings turn much colder.Megan continued, “Do you know how I've managed to hold on until now? Because I've taken advantage of all the privileges the Langham family has given me.”Eleanor held her breath.“Eleanor loves me. She always defends me and treats me as part of the famil

Chapter: 42aThe meeting had just ended when Jackson walked out of the conference room, still holding several files in his hands. His mind was still occupied with the auction project they were working on. There were too many things he needed to take care of immediately.He needed to find out more about the painter who had disappeared from the public eye for years, confirm which artworks ArkanStone would be providing for the auction, and most importantly, find a suitable reason to meet Ava.After reading the reports about her work at ArkanStone Museum, Jackson had begun to realize that there were far too many things about that woman he had never truly understood.There were so many things he wanted to ask Ava, but ...His phone rang just as he had taken a few steps away from the conference room.Jackson glanced at the screen and saw Eleanor's name displayed. His brows immediately furrowed. Was his mother still somewhere around his office? What did she want from
