On the day of my wedding, I had just discovered I was pregnant when news of Gavin Holt's death reached me. I wept until my eyes were swollen, yet still clung to his portrait and insisted on completing the ceremony. The very next day, his twin brother Sebastian Holt, came with Charlotte Evans, to break off the marriage on behalf of his brother. "My brother said before he died that Charlotte was his one true love. If she cannot enter the Holt family, he'll never rest in peace!" Taking advantage of the fact I had no family to back me up, Sebastian shamelessly brought Charlotte into my bridal chamber and slept with her. Their moans and gasps filled the room. On the very first day of my marriage, I was humiliated by my own brother-in-law and turned into a laughingstock for the entire city. Then, by chance, I overheard their conversation. "Gavin, you lied to Emily, told her you were dead. What if she finds out?" "She's so foolish. Even now, she mourns my 'death' with blind devotion. Once she gives birth to the child, we'll drive her out of the Holt family." Only then did I learn the truth that the one who had died in that car accident wasn't Gavin at all, but his twin brother! Later, I chose to end the pregnancy and leave. Yet he went mad, begging me to return.

After the wedding, there was no trace of Gavin in the fitting room.I didn't give it another thought. My heart was already full with excitement as Alex and I began planning where to spend our honeymoon.He leaned lazily against my shoulder. "Wherever my lovely wife wants to go, that's where we'll go.""You and that sweet mouth of yours," I teased.After a bit of playful banter, I settled onto the sofa and scrolled through my phone. A breaking news alert popped up.Gavin's parents had drawn up a will in advance, declaring that after their passing, the entirety of the family fortune would be donated to charity.After his public disgrace at my wedding, Gavin had thrown Charlotte out of the Holt household.Unwilling to accept defeat, she later stormed into the Holt estate, claiming to be his wife and demanding her share of the inheritance. Security dragged her out in disgrace.Not long after, she vanished completely. Some said she fled abroad. Others whispered that Gavin's parents

Inside the Holt family's grand estate, Gavin knelt before his father."If you hadn't insisted that Sebastian pick you up from the airport, how could that accident have happened? And now you still dare to say your brother's death has nothing to do with you?"I favored Sebastian only because he had more talent for business than you. But you are still my son. I wouldn't sideline you. I never imagined you'd go so far, scheming against your own brother and causing his death. You unfilial child!"And when Emily finally carried your child, you dragged that shameless woman home and drove Emily into miscarriage. How can you face Emily? How can you face the rest of our family?"Perhaps this is simply the curse of our bloodline. Every cent of the family fortune will be donated after your mother and I are gone. We will never forgive you. From here on, you are on your own."Gavin remained silent, only lifting his head in anguish after his father left. His gaze fell on the mantle, where his own

I frowned. Before the wedding, I had already told Cordelia the truth about Gavin's identity. Even the surveillance footage… I managed to obtain it with her help.So now, in a moment of crisis, she could only think of coming to me.But I no longer bore that responsibility."There's no need. From now on, his life or death has nothing to do with me. Cordelia, you've worked hard these past few weeks, but I'll be getting married soon."Cordelia immediately understood the unspoken meaning: from this moment on, matters concerning the Holt family no longer required my attention.After hanging up, I finally noticed the headline blazing across the trending list online.[The Holt family's eldest son rises from the dead—cancels wedding on the spot after learning his ex-wife miscarried.]The accompanying video showed Charlotte, her makeup streaked into a mess of tears, kneeling on the floor in desperation, begging Gavin to finish the ceremony.But he shoved her aside without hesitation, ign

A haze clouded Gavin's eyes."You're talking nonsense again. You love me so much. How could you possibly bear to divorce me?"I let out a cold laugh."Before the accident, yes—I loved you so much I couldn't pull myself free. Even when I saw the body, I still foolishly dreamed that one day you'd return to me, safe and whole."Heaven may have spared you, and you did come back—but by then, there was no place left for me at your side."You chose to fake your own death just to give Charlotte a wedding. Now that I'm stepping aside, isn't this exactly what you wanted?"I reached for the suitcase behind me just as Alex's call came through."Emily, I've arrived at the hotel. I'm waiting for you at the entrance.""Alright, I'll be right there."With that, I cast Gavin one last indifferent glance and turned to leave.He rushed after me, grabbing my arm, his voice trembling."Emily, where are you going?""We're no longer connected in any way. I don't owe you an explanation. You should
