로그인Nikolai Edevane and I had grown up together in a psychiatric hospital. We were childhood sweethearts who had known each other since we were young. Everyone in our circle said the Edevane family had raised a pair of vicious monsters, and no one dared cross us. "Anthea, monsters that crawl out of Hell are meant to stick together. Neither of us will ever be allowed to leave the other." On Nikolai's birthday, I helped him complete the final piece of his business empire. What I received in return was news that our twin sons had died in a car accident. The chauffeur had been drunk and fled the scene. On the eve of the trial, Nikolai set off fireworks across the entire city to celebrate his "recovery." Then, he took a pregnant woman by the hand and brought her before me. "Daphne is the only light in my life. She saved me. This ends here! Stop making a scene!" My eyes were bloodshot with grief and rage. "Nikolai, your sons died!" Nikolai said quietly, "Our sons may be dead, but you still have me. You still have your status as Mrs. Edevane. We'll have plenty more children in the future. However, Daphne only has her father left in this world."

So, let's make things a little more interesting."Lucian clapped his hands. The black-clad bodyguards immediately drew their guns and aimed them at Nikolai and Daphne."Lucian, what are you trying to do?"Lucian casually tossed a dagger onto the floor. His eyes lowered as a playful smile tugged at his lips. "I came here today to avenge my wife. Between the two of you, only one gets to live."The guests in the banquet hall had long since scattered in every direction at this point.Nikolai stared coldly at Lucian and me. "Anthea, is this why you called him here? What exactly are you trying to do?""You're asking me what I want to do?" I let out a bitter laugh. My heart ached for my boys and my mother. "Nikolai, you protected the person who killed our sons, and then you caused my mother's death. And now you're asking me what I want to do? I want re
The guests began whispering among themselves.Nikolai's expression darkened as soon as he saw Lucian. "Lucian, what are you doing here?""I came to take my future Mrs. Atwater home," Lucian replied, walking over to me with a warm smile on his lips.Lucian and I hadn't seen each other since I got married to Nikolai. Yet, I couldn't help but notice that he looked exactly the same as he did all those years ago. "Mrs. Atwater?" Nikolai's brows drew tightly together as his gaze immediately snapped toward me.I didn't deny Lucian's claim that I was Mrs. Atwater. I simply smiled. "Why, Mr. Atwater, you're here much earlier than I expected.""I applied for a private flight corridor," Lucian drawled casually, a hint of teasing in his voice. "After all, I already missed my chance once. My parents have been pressuring me to get married for years. I figured I'd better hurry up and bring my Mrs. Atwater home, don't you think?"Nikolai turned grimmer upon hearing our casual conversation. "Lu
The men around us immediately went on high alert, cocking their guns and aiming them at me.The wedding venue instantly became a powder keg.Just then, one of the men hurried in through the doors, his voice urgent. "Boss, the police are here!"Everyone immediately lowered their weapons.A group of police officers entered the wedding venue. "We're here on police business. Where is Morgan Remington?"Morgan had been accepting toasts from the guests when he heard the officers. Confused, he instinctively moved behind Nikolai. "Nikolai, what's going on? Don't tell me this has something to do with the car accident…""Morgan, don't worry. We've already cleaned up all the evidence from the accident."Nikolai stood confidently in front of Morgan and Daphne, as though he had already become the Remington family's son-in-law. "Officer, I'm Nikolai Edevane. What case is this regarding?""You're the father of the deceased, aren't you?" The officer sized Nikolai up and down before producing a
I stared at the sunlight outside the window, still somewhat dazed.The phone number had come from Lucian Atwater, Nikolai's sworn enemy. He had passed that phone to me on the day of my wedding. He had told me that he would always have my back no matter what happened in the future.At the time, I had been over the moon that I was marrying Nikolai. So, I tucked the phone away in the safe, treating his words as an empty courtesy, and never thought about it again.It had been so many years since that conversation, so I didn't really expect anyone to answer. I honestly never imagined that Lucian would still pick up the moment I called."Anthea, I'll be back in the country this afternoon. Leave everything to me."…After that, I drove myself to the wedding venue where Nikolai and Daphne were holding their ceremony.Lucian was merely the contingency plan I had left for myself. The revenge for my twins and my mother was something I wanted to personally carry out.The wedding venue was
