Billionaire's Admirable Bride

At the Adams mansion, it has been six months since Olima Adams lost her parents in a car accident, and she has been living with her stepmother and stepsister since then. They turned her into a full-time maid and withdrew her from furthering her education.

First, the whole of Lemon-Hill town knew that Olima’s parents had died in a motor accident. It was rumored that the truck driver rammed into her late parents’ vehicle. However, her stepmother, Mrs. Gina Adams, actually accused Olima of being the one who killed her parents, as they were on their way to Olima’s school to attend her graduation ceremony and bring her home.

Mrs. Gina Adams has a daughter named Mia Adams, from Olima’s late father, Mr. Leo Adams. Mr. Leo had married Mrs. Gina simply because he wanted another child. His wife, Mrs. Zoe Adams—Olima’s mother—could not bear him another child after Olima’s birth due to complications.

Previously, Mrs. Gina and Mrs. Zoe used to be best friends in the past. They grew up together on the island where the rich families lived, while the poor families lived on the mainland. But after Mrs. Gina officially became Mrs. Zoe’s co-wife, they became enemies, as Mrs. Gina changed.

Mr. Leo Adams was a billionaire, and because he needed a son to take over his oil company, he spoke to his wife, Mrs. Zoe, about his intention to take a second wife. Mrs. Zoe thought it best to speak to her best friend, Gina Edwards, and asked her to accept marrying her husband.

Mrs. Zoe was afraid another woman might enter her matrimonial home and turn her husband’s heart against her, and so she trusted her best friend to marry her husband. Gina often visited their home when Olima was just a baby.

After Mr. Leo married Mrs. Gina and officially brought her into his home, Mrs. Gina changed from the good woman she had been and began quarreling with Mrs. Zoe on the first day of her arrival.

At that time, Olima was only two years old when Mr. Leo married Mrs. Gina as his second wife. Due to Mrs. Gina’s nagging behavior on the first night, Mr. Leo refused to touch Mrs. Gina and wanted to file for divorce the following morning.

Mrs. Gina switched back to her good friend persona and begged Mrs. Zoe to plead with their husband not to divorce her, seeing that Mr. Leo truly loved Mrs. Zoe much more than her.

Mrs. Gina grew jealous, as Mr. Leo never touched her or made love to her after marrying her. He ruined her wedding night and only stared at his first wife with love, while looking at Gina with hatred, refusing to sleep with her.

Mrs. Gina hated Mrs. Zoe, her former best friend, feeling that Mrs. Zoe and Mr. Leo married her simply to show her how loving a couple they were.

Unable to bear the shame of being called a barren woman, Mrs. Gina finally pleaded with Mrs. Zoe to allow their husband to spend a night with her.

Mrs. Zoe agreed and spoke to her husband about it, and he slept with Mrs. Gina, which was his main reason for marrying her.

Still, Mrs. Gina was irritated, as it happened only once in her fourteen years of marriage to Mr. Leo Adams. He claimed marrying her was a terrible mistake after she quarreled with Mrs. Zoe on her first day as his official second wife.

Mrs. Gina could not hide her irritation when she heard Mr. Leo state, “I regret marrying you, Gina. Yes, I spoke to Zoe about taking a second wife, but if Zoe hadn't advised me to consider marrying you to see if you could bear us a son, I wouldn’t have married you. How dare you move into my mansion today and immediately start quarreling with my wife? Get out—this marriage is over. Tomorrow, I’ll file for divorce.”

Mrs. Gina could not forget how Mr. Leo insulted her regularly, forgetting that both he and his wife had begged her to become his second wife.

Mr. Leo further stated, “There’s no difference between a daughter and a son. I made a mistake by marrying you, Gina, and paying your dowry. Olima will inherit all my properties. Even if she marries and changes her surname, she will always be my daughter.”

Mrs. Gina could not hide her embarrassment, as she had thought Mr. Leo would love and pamper her, while abandoning his first wife. Instead, he rejected her, never ate her food, and forbade her from touching any of his things.

Mr. Leo’s irritation peaked one day, and he finally brought home the divorce papers. Mrs. Gina refused to sign them because their one night together had already yielded a child—she was pregnant with Mia.

Mrs. Gina refused to sign the divorce papers and told her husband, “I’m pregnant.” She could not bear the shame of returning home to her family, as they had warned her not to marry Mr. Leo Adams, who was already a married man.

But she loved Mr. Leo Adams, who was dark-skinned, while she and Mrs. Zoe were both fair. Yet Mr. Leo never looked at her with love as he did with Mrs. Zoe.

Because of her refusal to sign the divorce papers, Mr. Leo chased her out of the main mansion and asked her to live in the boys’ quarters with her daughter, Mia, while Mrs. Zoe and Olima lived in the main mansion.

Mrs. Gina endured the shame and humiliation, as their townspeople already mocked her for marrying her best friend’s husband. None of the outsiders knew that Mr. Leo and his wife had begged her to marry him.

Mrs. Gina thought of a way to get her revenge, considering even cheating and bearing a son for Mr. Leo.

Mr. Leo would know the boy wasn't his, as he only allowed Mia to live in the main mansion whenever Olima wanted a younger sister to play with.

Mrs. Gina wanted revenge on her husband, knowing she couldn't leave his house and marry another man, as everyone already knew her as a married woman—and not just any married woman, but also a husband snatcher.

She hired a truck driver to kill her husband and his beloved wife, knowing they were going to Olima’s high school for her final-year graduation. Olima attended the same school as Mia, but Olima was three years older.

Mrs. Gina's heart had already turned cold. Even while attending the same school for her own daughter's graduation into the senior class, Olima was passing out from college attended by billionaire children.

The truck driver called her to confirm the successful job. Determined not to leave any traces, Mrs. Gina killed the truck driver herself to hide her secret for life.

After the burial ceremony ended, all the family members who had never questioned Mr. Leo’s refusal to perform his husbandly duties began visiting Mrs. Gina's home one by one. The worst part was their curiosity about who would take over Mr. Leo’s oil company.

Mrs. Gina was a brutal woman, her heart long turned cold. She would have killed Olima too, but she didn’t want her daughter to feel lonely and without a sister, as they shared the same father, though Olima and Mia had different mothers.

Mrs. Gina decided to turn Olima into her full-time maid. After moving back into the main mansion—the very one her late husband had previously sent her from—Mrs. Gina refused to enroll Olima in the university, even though Olima was the successor to Mr. Leo’s oil company.

Mrs. Gina tried to transfer everything to her daughter's name, but the lawyer refused to change the will, as it clearly stated that until Olima Adams turned 24 and was mature enough to handle the company, it should be given to Olima Adams.
