It is the night before our wedding when my fiancee, Whitney Sullivan, reunites with her childhood sweetheart, Steven Foster, a mercenary who has been missing for five years. He is brought to our doorstep by his teammates, bloodied and barely clinging to life after being poisoned with a deadly aphrodisiac on a mission. Whitney, usually so aloof and controlled, immediately breaks down. She locks the door, defying my efforts to stop her, and stays with Steven all night long. I choose to stay outside the door, never closing my eyes. I confront her the following morning with a torrent of accusations, only for her to stand in front of Steven protectively and say shamelessly, "I couldn't just stand by and watch Steven die. Isn't it just my virginity? What's the harm in letting loose the night before the wedding?" In that instant, all my affection for her is utterly destroyed.

Whitney continued, "Steven's entire life savings were wiped out by medical costs, forcing me to take three jobs every day just to keep him afloat! He's been nothing but demanding ever since he was paralyzed, and he even started abusing me physically! You have to help me, Daniel! I finally see the error of my ways and promise never to be a fool to offer such kindness again."I was baffled, finding it hard to believe that Whitney actually had the audacity to utter that. I sized her up, my eyes filled with scorn as I said, "You weren't offering him any kindness—you were practically throwing yourself at your so-called childhood sweetheart. I'm not interested in your pathetic story. You'd better get lost right now, or you won't like the consequences!" Whitney's gaze was hard and unyielding as she stared at me. "That can't be true! I know you still love me deeply, Daniel! You wouldn't have allowed me to be with Steven otherwise. You want me to be happy, but now my only chance at happin

"What kind? You're obviously a lovesick fool! How could the most popular guy in the whole college descend to this level…" Abigail trailed off.I couldn't make out the final, whispered remark as Abigail shot me an exasperated glare.Upon noticing my puzzled look, Abigail's cheeks flushed scarlet. She pushed me aside and rapidly bolted up the stairs, saying, "It's late already, so it's time to wash up and get ready for bed." Though the marital home had been hastily secured, and it offered none of the expected celebratory cheer, everything essential was in place.In a mutual, wordless understanding, Abigail and I chose to occupy separate bedrooms, which resulted in a night of peaceful, undisturbed sleep.I worked from home while recuperating from my injuries after the wedding, while Abigail committed to standard business hours at the office, where she brokered deals and focused on market expansion.Abigail and I finally found a moment of respite once the first collaboration betwe

George snapped, "What good is an inheritance to a useless daughter like you? You ought to know that the child I fathered elsewhere is guaranteed to be a boy, and he is the one who will be my sole legitimate heir. You'd better get down on your knees and apologize to the Lister family before your actions bring disaster down on your brother!"Whitney's eyes remained fixed on her parents for a considerable time before she finally relented and approached me. "I know it's all my fault, Daniel! Please find it in your heart to forgive me just this once!"I couldn't help but find her saccharine pleading utterly nauseating. She even went a step further, deliberately undoing two buttons on her shirt, and offered me a gaze that was a calculated blend of shyness and seduction."How utterly revolting!" I snapped before Abigail could even lash out, causing Whitney to stop dead in her tracks. It came as a shock to everyone that I would regard the overtures of the woman I used to pamper with such

I slapped Whitney hard across the face just as she was about to attack Abigail, sending her sprawling to the floor. I then loomed over her and said coldly, "Get her out of here immediately!"Whitney was roughly escorted out by the security guards, her eyes burning with fury. "I only gave away my virginity last night to save Steven! Do you really have to punish me so severely, Daniel? I'm warning you—if I leave this place, I won't come back, even if you beg me on your knees!"In an instant, the guests dissolved into pandemonium. Abigail stared at Whitney, completely stunned, and asked, "Is she truly sane? Does she not realize that this entire scene is being televised live?"I watched Whitney's retreating figure with a cold expression and said offhandedly, "Who knows?"Having exchanged a glance, Abigail and I took a deep breath and quickly plastered on our professional smiles again.In that instant, the officiant promptly stepped forward to smooth things over, and the ceremony ultim

It was then that the maid of honor, Yvonne Smith, hurried to cover Whitney with a bath towel. She then turned and shot me a disapproving look, saying, "I know your wedding is set for today, Daniel, but would it have been too much to exercise some control? How could Whitney be seen in public—"Whitn
