On the day I'm supposed to pick up my bride for the wedding, Tracie Mayer, my supposed wife-to-be as well as the heiress of the Mayer family, is replaced by Jayne Cooper, a widowed fishmonger. Everyone in the groom's party laughs and makes fun of me. "Since when are you this thirsty? You don't mind women who have already given birth before, huh?" "I can't believe the heir of the Reeve family is about to marry a widowed fishmonger! Everyone's going to be tickled pink once word gets out!" My family driver's son, Everett Huffman, provokes me on the spot. "This is for treating me like a lowly servant and ordering me to drive you around! That's why Adeline and Tracie decided to avenge me on your big day!" Realization dawns on me immediately. My older sister, Adeline Reeve, and Tracie are standing up for Everett by putting me down. As I turn to stare at Adeline with red-rimmed eyes, she replies nonchalantly, "It's just a wedding ceremony. Endure it like a tough guy you are. "You and Tracie will still get married. We won't let you marry a widowed fishmonger for real."

A week later, Tracie showed up at my door, dragging Everett along to apologize. He was deathly pale, barely conscious, and looked like he was clinging to his last breath.Her men forced him to his knees, and her eyes were swollen from crying. "I'm sorry, Aston. I've looked into everything, so now, I know that he's been the mastermind behind everything."All these years, he's been exploiting our sympathy and trying to take your place in our hearts. I gave him what he wanted and made him donate all the blood he never gave, so are you satisfied now?"From the balcony, I could see the needle marks covering Everett's arms and couldn't help but lament how frightening Tracie's ruthlessness was. But now, a delayed apology meant nothing to me.As I looked at the scene, all I was concerned about was whether the noise outside the gates would disturb Jayne and affect her pregnancy. When I returned to the bedroom and saw her sleeping soundly, I finally felt at ease.After tucking her in, I t

Tracie had always been sharp and brilliant, but now, she couldn't bring herself to accept the truth."Impossible! Everett would never do something like that! "Aston, did you collude with the nurse to lie to us?"Tracie and Adeline turned to me at the same time with suspicion written all over their faces.Over the past year, I had lost count of how many times they had given me the same look. Every single time, I would explain myself, but today, I felt nothing at all and calmly said, "Do you think you're worth that much effort? I stopped caring about what you both think a long time ago."When Tracie heard the words "stopped caring", she looked as if she had been struck by a blow. Tears spilled like beads from a broken necklace as she cried out, "You're not allowed to say that!"I'll have my men investigate everything right now. If it really isn't your fault… I'll have Everett apologize to you in person."Wait for me, Aston. I'll give you an answer."Adeline's eyes were bloodshot

My voice carried across the room and began drawing attention. Tracie felt her dignity crumble under the odd stares. She eyed Edmund and roared, "I know exactly why you're here! "You want to land a partnership with Mr. Welch, but I won't let you have it your way. No one will help you except for me, Aston."She confidently turned to Edmund. "I'm willing to give up three percentage points on this project, as long as you work with my company."Then, she raised an eyebrow at me and added, "If you don't divorce her today, the deal's mine."Jayne let out a soft laugh of pure disdain. "Have you forgotten who is standing next to him? Who do you think is the better partner here, Mr. Welch?"Without a second thought, Edmund extended his hand to me with a beaming smile. "My apologies, Ms. Mayer, but I find Mr. Reeve's new company to be far more innovative and promising."After shaking Edmund's hand, I smiled and watched as Tracie's face turned a sickly shade of gray. "Sorry, Tracie, but m

I leaned in and kissed Jayne on the lips. "Thank you, honey."The kiss lasted a long time.…Jayne got me an assistant, handled the HR, and took care of nearly every operational detail of the company. She told me clients were crucial for a new company and offered to introduce me to contacts.I laid out several carefully selected client profiles and asked, "I've finalized the foreign projects, but I'm still vetting clients. Which of these looks best to you?"She took over the materials and pointed to a company owned by a man named Edmund Welch. "Mr. Welch. His subsidiaries are all over Atheria, and he has a dedicated user base for his products. But I can't guarantee that you can close the deal."Say… Dad's attending a business gala the day after tomorrow. I'll get us invitations and bring you there."…When Jayne and I made a grand entrance at the business gala, we drew waves of greetings. I scanned the room and spotted Edmund. But just as I was about to approach, I noticed Tr

The butler who had arrived with the groom's party started pacing frantically when he realized that the bride had been swapped. "This is madness! Ms. Mayer, you've been engaged to Mr. Reeve for over a decade. Are you just going to stand by and watch him marry a widow who guts fish for a living?"I

Before I could climb the stairs, Tracie barked, "The second floor's converted into Everett's room. He doesn't like people touching his belongings, and your stuff is in the servants' quarters!"I froze.Since when did I even lose the right to a room in the house?Forcing down the sting in my chest
