Married a CEO to Spite My Ex

After bidding farewell to members of the Gray family, my mother turned to me with a frantic expression.My father said with a frown, “Don’t be afraid, Layla. Even if he’s the CEO of Gray Conglomerate, he can’t bully people into marrying him. I’ll go ask their patriarch to cancel this engagement immediately.” Then, he got up and headed for the door.I replied calmly, “Jonathan promised that as long as I married him, he would get Dr. Quinn, the renowned neurologist, to treat Whitney.” My father stopped in his tracks when he heard that. His tone changed immediately. “I will allow you to marry Jonathan Gray. To be his wife is a blessing that many pray for but never receive. From today onward, we will prepare for your marriage.” My mother’s eyes were red with tears when she interjected, “But Jonathan is notorious for his violent tendencies. How sure are you that we’re not just sending Layla to her death?!” My father’s expression was stone cold. He responded angrily, “That’s just

My mother immediately said, “I’ve already bought them for Layla.” Whitney immediately looked at William with tears in her eyes. “If my mom were still around, she’d have bought them for me.” With a grim expression, William looked at us. “In the end, you still choose your own daughter over Whitney. I can’t imagine the torture you’ve put her through while growing up.” He then pulled out a black credit card from his pocket and slammed it on the table. “I’ll buy everything you have for my fiancee,” he said.My mother looked at them while shaking with anger. I grabbed her arm and tried to calm her down. “Forget it, Mom. I didn’t like the design anyway.” I pulled her out of the store, and Whitney and William followed behind us.At that moment, an out-of-control car came hurtling in our direction and was about to hit Whitney. William rushed up and pushed me forward to block Whitney from harm. Before I could react, I felt my head slamming against the hard frame of the car. Bef

My first thought was how good-looking Jonathan was. His looks were comparable to celebrities you saw on TV.My second reaction was one of embarrassment. I was caught red-handed while trying to sneak a piece of cake into my mouth. If there were a hole in the ground, I would have jumped in and buried myself.I forced myself to maintain my composure while placing the cake back on its plate before sitting back on the bed. I then pulled the veil back over my face as if nothing had happened.Jonathan chuckled to himself. He walked up to me, lifted my veil, and placed the entire plate of cake before me.“You’ve probably been starving the entire day. Come now, don’t be shy. You can eat as much as you want.” I looked up at him and wondered if he was being serious. He wouldn’t punish me after I took the bait, would he? Growing up with Whitney, I had fallen for her traps countless times. This is why I tend to doubt the goodwill of others. To my surprise, Jonathan grabbed a piece of cake

Three days after I got married, I returned home for the first time. My mother took my hand and told me everything that happened between William and Whitney.“You were right, Layla. The audacity of that shameless tramp to cheat on her fiance!” My father had hired that piano teacher when I was sixteen and Whitney was eighteen. In the beginning, he had always praised me for being a talented pianist. However, as time went by, his attitude underwent a drastic change. From time to time, he would complain to my father that I was undisciplined, which led to punishments from my father. In hindsight, Whitney likely sold her body for this to happen.In my past life, after I married William, Whitney regained her sanity and seduced William, who later divorced me. When I discovered her affair with the piano teacher, I was about to tell William the truth when she murdered me to silence me. This time, I would use her secrets to make her suffer the consequences of her actions. “Your father wa
