My Husband Traded Me at a Wife-Swapping Party

My Husband Traded Me at a Wife-Swapping Party

To save his business, Adrian Blackwell asks Evelyn to surrender her loyalty for ten days at a private party hosted by Victor Devereaux, a cold and ruthless tycoon. Evelyn reluctantly agrees, enduring the ordeal because she believes her husband's promise that their one-year marriage is far too precious to destroy. What she never realizes is that the party is nothing more than a cover. Adrian hasn't merely traded her away. He's sold her in exchange for an investment, using the arrangement to legitimize his affair with Carleste, Victor's wife. But Adrian has forgotten one thing: Evelyn is no worthless pebble to be tossed aside without a second thought. She is Evelyn Clearwater Rothwell, the sole heiress to the world's most powerful business empire, an identity she deliberately concealed in her search for genuine love. When the full extent of the betrayal is exposed on a remote island, a secret alliance is forged between Evelyn and Victor. “So, you agree to make a deal with me, Evelyn?” Without hesitation, Evelyn nodded. “Yes. Just tell me what you want me to do.” “Then kiss me,” Victor said confidently. “Prove that Adrian was wrong when he called you too stupid and too loyal to a bastard like him.”

Chapter: CHAPTER 5
Victor's challenge left me speechless for a split second. Unfortunately, the next thing I heard through the frosted glass behind me was Carleste's sultry voice, and her words were enough to make me freeze.“Tell me, Adrian...” Carleste purred, her voice carrying clearly over the roar of the waves outside. “Between me and that boring woman... who's better in bed?”I held my breath. Still suspended in Victor's arms, my legs wrapped around his waist, I felt a jarring contrast between our position and the ugliness unfolding in the room next door.“Obviously, you, darling Carleste,” Adrian replied without the slightest hesitation, his words cutting and utterly degrading. “Evelyn? That woman is nothing but a boring porcelain doll. Cold, stiff, and completely devoid of passion. Just touching her is enough to kill my mood.”It felt as though a rusty dagger had plunged straight into the right side of my chest.Even though I already knew my husband was cheating on me, hearing Adrian trample all

Chapter: CHAPTER 4
EVELYN“What did you just say?” Victor gasped, his sharp eyes studying me intently, searching for even the slightest hint of hesitation in my expression. “The Rothwell name is not something to joke about, Mrs. Clearwater. Don't make up some ridiculous story just to get out of this.”“I'm not joking.”Victor fell silent for a long moment. He stared at the card in his hand before looking me up and down with an entirely different expression, a mixture of shock and genuine amazement.“If you're Carlisle Rothwell's only daughter,” Victor murmured, “why have you been living like an ordinary woman? Why have you allowed your husband to treat you like some cheap pawn on a chessboard? And why are you even using the Clearwater surname when that family is nothing compared to yours?”I scoffed in disgust at his questions.“Because I just wanted to be loved sincerely. I wanted to know what it felt like to be loved as an ordinary woman, not as the Rothwell heiress, surrounded by masks and business i

Chapter: CHAPTER 3
EVELYNWithout giving me a chance to process what had just happened, a firm yet controlled hand closed around my wrist. Victor pulled me away from the pool area and the outdoor corridor, leading me swiftly away from the noise and commotion of the party.We made our way along the exterior of the main building until we reached a secluded corner of an open terrace perched at the edge of a cliff, far from the other guests. Outside, heavy rain lashed the night, mingling with the roar of waves crashing against the rocks below. Fortunately, the spot where we stood was sheltered by the roof supported by massive wooden pillars, shielding us from the direct downpour. Even so, the lingering chill and salty sea spray carried by the wind still stung my skin.Victor stopped at the far end of the railing, which overlooked the vast, open sea. He turned to face me, his sharp eyes fixed on mine beneath the dim glow of the pillar lights.Noticing that the thin fabric of my evening gown had begun to feel

Chapter: CHAPTER 2
EVELYNI never expected the partner-swapping party to be held on a remote island that had once belonged to my father, Carlisle.A one-hour flight from the capital was followed by a fifteen-minute speedboat ride, until we finally reached a wooden pier that had since been renovated into something far more modern. The moment my feet touched the white sand, a strange sense of familiarity washed over me. The cliffs on the western side and the contours of the land felt unmistakably familiar.This was indeed my family's private island, the one we'd sold about a year ago.I had no idea it had been transformed into an ultra-luxurious resort.An uncomfortable shiver ran through me. Why had a place that once safeguarded my family's privacy become the venue for a secret gathering of billionaires? Who owned the island now, and why had they chosen such an isolated location for this insane partner-swapping party?A sense of foreboding crept into my mind, making the sea breeze feel even more bone-chi

Chapter: CHAPTER 1
EVELYN“We're going to swap partners, Evelyn.”Adrian said it so casually, as if he were merely discussing plans for a weekend getaway.The teacup in my hand trembled violently, and the warm liquid inside nearly spilled over the rim.“What did you just say?” I stared at him in disbelief, hoping the pounding in my chest was nothing more than a misunderstanding. “You're joking, right?”“I'm serious, Evelyn.” Adrian took my hand, gently squeezing my fingers as if to reassure me. “It's an exclusive private party attended by some of the wealthiest tycoons in the world. Victor Devereaux will be there, too. If I can secure his investment, we can save our company.”The mention of Victor Devereaux instantly silenced me. He was known as a ruthless predator in the commercial satellite and technology industries, a cold-blooded businessman who never invested in anything without crushing his competitors in the process.But since when did a business deal have to be paid for with a wife's loyalty?“W
