LOGINOn the night before her wedding, Navia Harrison discovers her fiancé in bed with her step-sister-and worse, the two of them are already planning how to get rid of her after the marriage. Humiliated and consumed by hatred, Navia exposes their affair during the wedding ceremony itself, destroying both families' reputations in a single move. Then, she meets him. Leonel Crawford - the cold and dangerously powerful head of the Crawford family. Untouchable. Ruthless. A man no woman has ever been able to keep close. He's also her ex-fiancé's uncle. One impulsive proposal changes everything. "If you need a wife... marry me instead." "Honestly... we'd make a pretty good match."
View MoreOther than Daniel Harrison and Linda Vale, who else could it possibly be?Navia's hostility was obvious enough that Daniel's expression immediately darkened."What kind of attitude is that—"The words were already out before he caught himself.His temper flared instinctively.Then his gaze landed on the two bodyguards standing behind Navia alongside Joanna.Both men clearly belonged to the Crawford family.Only then did Daniel abruptly remember—Navia was no longer isolated and powerless.She was Leonel Crawford's wife.The daughter-in-law of the Crawford family.Daniel swallowed his anger.Inside, he was still furious that Navia had secretly married another man without telling the family.But no matter how angry he was, he couldn't ignore the Crawford family's influence.Taking a deep breath, he forced his expression to soften."Navia," he said, "we're family. Why ar
As expected, although Marcus Morgan had shown up at the estate, his relationship with Leonel clearly wasn’t good enough to justify a long conversation.By the time Navia walked back, she ran into servants searching for her.Only then did she realize the area near the bamboo grove had terrible signal reception, which explained why she hadn’t received any calls or messages.“Mrs. Crawford,” one of the servants said anxiously, “Mr. Crawford’s been looking for you for quite a while. You should hurry back.”“Where is he?” Navia asked.Before anyone could answer, steady footsteps approached quickly from behind.The next second, Leonel wrapped an arm tightly around her waist from behind.“I told you not to wander too far,” he said in a low, slightly hoarse voice filled with restrained frustration. “Why are you still so disobedient?”Navia couldn’t help rolling her eye
The Crawford Estate truly lived up to its reputation as a century-old family estate.Every corner was exquisitely designed.As she walked, Navia couldn’t help taking photos along the way.Some she planned to show her mother later at the hospital.Others she wanted to send to Vivian Lawson.Vivian’s injured leg meant she couldn’t travel far lately.With her free-spirited personality, she was probably bored out of her mind staying at home.She’d definitely love the scenery here.Thinking that, Navia sent her several photos while walking.Just as she lowered her head to reply to a message, a voice suddenly spoke behind her.“Don’t admire the scenery too much.”“Be careful of the insects nearby.”Navia jumped in fright.She spun around immediately—And saw a man sitting quietly in a wheelchair.He wore a
Meanwhile, Navia quietly let out a sigh of relief.Honestly...Even now that they were married, she still got flustered whenever Leonel casually flirted with her.It was embarrassing.Quickly, she wrapped her arms around Princess's neck and changed the subject."How long has Princess been here?" she asked. "Don't tell me she's the only horse around. Wouldn't she get lonely?""The other horses are in the stables," Leonel replied."There are stables nearby?"Navia instinctively looked around, but aside from the cabin in the distance, she didn't see any other buildings."They're farther out," Leonel said. "Princess is the only horse allowed in this area."Navia blinked.So this entire meadow belonged to Princess alone?She couldn't help laughing."You're seriously this biased?""That's not bias."Leonel sounded completely reasonable."She's your horse now. Of course she shoul
By the time they returned to Hillside Villa, Navia headed straight upstairs.She didn't even glance back.As for Leonel?For the moment, he might as well have been invisible.Jason, meanwhile, was completely unfazed.The fresh bite mark on Leonel's lip was impos
No wonder everyone at the station had been so polite.No interrogation.No pressure.They had even arranged for her to wait comfortably in the back courtyard.Even Jason had driven directly into the rear entrance without obstruction.Normally, there should’ve been o
Navia Harrison slowly opened her eyes and said calmly, “Why would I be worried? I didn’t do anything wrong. I’m just cooperating with the investigation. It’s not like I committed a crime.”Her tone was so composed that there wasn’t the slightest trace of p
Soon afterward, Navia finished her peppermint tea and felt much more alert.Inside the conference room, she spoke calmly.“Let’s keep today’s meeting under ten minutes.”“We’ll move quickly.”“Department heads, begin your r
