Swapped My Cheating Fiancé For A Billionaire

"Supporting what dream?"Adrian Blackwood asked, raising an eyebrow as he walked out of the bathroom. Hair at his temples was still damp, and a faint trail of steam followed him.I waved my hand. After the butler, Walter Briggs, left, I smiled at Adrian and said, "Southon College recently has an initiative. I'm thinking of sponsoring underprivileged students."He frowned almost imperceptibly before stepping closer to pull me into his arms."You're too kind, Evelyn Sterling. Instead of using your dad's money to help strangers, why don't you have him invest in my family's new venture?"I'll give you a grand wedding once this project takes off."We had been together for five years. Every single year, he spun empty promises of a wedding.When I was younger, I didn't care much about when the wedding would happen. But now, I couldn't help but ask, "In that case, what kind of wedding do you have in mind—"Before I could finish, his ringtone cut me off. He glanced at the screen, and hi

Whether Jaguar's story was real or fabricated, he radiated a perfect broken-man-waiting-to-be-saved vibe, which was practically begging me to take the bait.The night was deep, and the rain beyond the window poured harder. A faint, dull ache throbbing in my knees made me stagger as I walked.Ever since getting that injury, rainy days had always come with waves of pain in my knee.Suddenly, there was a knock at the door."Come in," I said tiredly.I thought it was Walter, but to my surprise, it was Jaguar. He walked in wearing black pajamas and held a small bottle of essential oil, with his sleeves casually rolled up to his elbows.When his eyes fell on my knees, his gaze was calm, but there was something quietly insistent in the way he looked at me. "I'm here to give you a massage."I frowned. "I don't need it."Instead of answering, he walked over to me, dropped to one knee, and cupped his hands around my knee.I instinctively tried to pull my leg back. "Let go.""If you d

The moment Adrian saw clothes that were supposed to belong to him appearing on Jaguar instead, there was a near-mad jealousy in his eyes, and he nearly lost all rationality."Evelyn!" he demanded, practically grinding his teeth. "What is this man doing here? What is your relationship with him?"I found it somewhat hilarious to see him act so self-righteous. Standing up, I casually loosened my wrist and gave him a resounding slap right across the face in front of everyone.Adrian never expected me to lay a hand on him. He didn't even try to dodge and took the blow in a thoroughly pathetic manner.Walter handed me a sanitizing wipe. As I wiped my hand, I looked at the arrogant Adrian and curiously asked, "Adrian, who gave you the permission to speak to me like that?"Adrian had come over to angrily lecture me from his self-righteous moral high ground, but my reaction caught him off guard. He froze where he stood."Listen carefully," I continued, carelessly glancing between him and

I looked at the painting in front of Jaguar.It was a version of me I had never seen before, as if I had already grown old, sitting in a rocking chair and watching the sunset…That was when I recalled what he had told me, that he had known me in our past lives. What if it was actually true?…The day of the gala arrived right on schedule.When Adrian showed up, he instinctively moved to stand beside me, but I quietly shifted away."Give me some regard here," he murmured under his breath. But I showed no mercy and exposed him. "You're not the escort I invited."The expression on his face slowly cracked before he lowered his voice and said, "We've been together for years, Evelyn. How much longer are you going to stay mad? Can't you forgive me this once?""I'm not mad," I said. "I just think you had a great point. Sponsoring an underprivileged student really is so much fun."But keeping someone like Jaguar was a million times better than keeping Poppy. Jaguar cared about me and

The next time I heard about Adrian was on a crime news broadcast.He had violently assaulted his adopted sister, Poppy. During their struggle, he accidentally went too far and killed her.In the end, Adrian destroyed his poppy flower and ruined his life along with it.All I felt was a strange sense of melancholy when I read the news, and I couldn't help but ask myself. Jaguar and I wouldn't end in the same tragic way, would we?Hesitantly, I asked, "Would you ever—""No. Never," he interrupted with a smile playing on his lips. "I'll always be just your Jaguar."My ears immediately flushed red, though I forced myself to stay calm and nod. "That's more like it.""Don't you think I deserve a reward?"He suddenly leaned in close. The faint scent of rich sandalwood radiating from his body made me feel safe and guarded.I bit my lip and asked, "What kind of reward do you want?""Let's get officially married tomorrow morning. Don't you think it's about time you give me legal status
