The dying heir to Silverbay's showbiz empire suddenly announces he'll select a bride at random from the city's prominent families, hoping the marriage can bring some luck and save his life. On the night before my own wedding, his men arrive and inform us that the Simmons family has been chosen. My parents have just three days to deliver a daughter to him. As soon as my sister, Roxanne Simmons, hears the news, she breaks down in tears and rushes to my fiance for help. When he sees her crying, Clinton Whitfield drops to his knees in front of me, under everyone's gaze. "Mr. Sterling enjoys tormenting virgins. If Roxanne marries him, who knows what he'll do to her? "But you're already past the marrying age, so he won't be interested in you. Please, help Roxy this once!" He looks away, his voice heavy with guilt as he continues, "Besides, he doesn't have much time left. When you return, I'll marry you." Tears well up in my eyes. I ask, stunned, "And what if I don't want to?" Clinton's gaze turns cold, his earlier guilt replaced by ruthless intent. "Then I'll make sure you go to him myself." I laugh bitterly as a chill runs through me. "Fine. I'll go instead."

The post even went into how Mom had supposedly gotten involved with Dad and become Mrs. Simmons. Miranda, the real mistress, had posed as the rightful wife and written a whole accusatory article. What a joke!The comments below were all steering people toward the same idea—that someone like me wasn't fit to be Mrs. Sterling. Some even said that if Maxwell didn't divorce me, they'd boycott his company altogether. Maxwell glanced through the comments and couldn't help laughing. "My company doesn't survive off people like them. If they want to boycott, let them. I'll have the legal department handle the post later," he said. I kept scrolling, smiling as I replied, "Don't delete it. The bigger the mess, the better. We didn't have a reason to kick them out of the Simmons residence before, but now we do."…I wasn't worried at all, but Clinton was in a full-blown panic. He called me countless times and even showed up at the Sterling residence, asking to see me and offering to handle

If it hadn't been for Miranda's relentless scheming back then, Dad would never have fallen out of love with my mother, and she would never have been kicked out of the house.I scoffed and slowly approached her. "Miranda, do you still think I'm that three-year-old who could be intimidated just by mentioning my father? Maybe it's time you considered whether you and Roxanne even have a place in this house."Roxanne and Miranda exchanged a glance. Panic flickered in the latter's eyes, and her voice trembled as she asked, "W-What do you mean?"I sneered and deliberately lowered my voice as I leaned close to her ear."Oh, you want to know what I mean? Roxanne isn't my father's daughter. She's your former sugar daddy's child. And if you don't want me to expose the truth, you'd better have your daughter return the inheritance my mother left me!"Miranda panicked, grabbed Roxanne, and made her go upstairs to fetch the money. At that moment, Dad came over to intervene. "Once the money is

Back in our room, I finally asked Maxwell, "If I really refuse to marry you, would you give up your own happiness to be with Roxanne?"He held me close, pressing his face against my shoulder. "Wasn't it a gamble? Lucky for me, I won."After such an exhausting day, I finally allowed myself a relieved smile. …I decided we wouldn't have a wedding ceremony because of what happened with Landon. Maxwell respected my wishes and followed my lead.Even without a ceremony, the news of our marriage was still made public online. Maxwell also hired the best PR team to erase that photo from the internet. No one could find it anymore. After we got married, he stayed by my side at home, though work never stopped coming in. I assumed it must be urgent and urged him to head back to the office. He pulled me onto the bed with a playful grin. "We've only been married a few days, and you're already trying to send me away? Nothing at work is more important than you."Actually, I was just about to

Maxwell's fury boiled over. He extended a hand toward the man behind him, asking for a gun. Then, he pointed it at Landon and yelled, "Move aside! I always keep my word. He's not leaving here alive!"But I reached out to stop him. Shaking my head, I said, "Letting him die like this would be far too easy. For people like him, death would only be a relief. I've already called the police. The law will deal with him."Maxwell lowered the gun at my words. Yet, when the police arrived, he shook uncontrollably while holding my hand. It was as if he had been the one who had endured it all. The police gathered the evidence of the assault, confirmed Landon's guilt, and took him away. Once the chaos ended, I went upstairs and washed myself thoroughly. Meanwhile, Clinton was on his knees outside the door, dazed and slapping himself over and over as he begged me to forgive him. Even when the bodyguards dumped a battered, barely conscious Roxanne in front of him, he didn't look at her. H

I jerked my head up. Seeing the man before me, I was stunned. "Maxwell?" I blurted. "You're the heir to the Sterling family?"Maxwell Prescott studied the bruises on my arms, his eyes full of concern. Just like old times, his voice was gentle as he said, "I go by Maxwell Sterling now."He had be

Having said that, Clinton shot Martin a look. Soon, several bodyguards in black came up behind me, grabbing my shoulders and forcing me down onto my knees. Landon looked me over, his gaze full of lust. Then, he lifted my chin and said, "So, it's you. Five years ago, I told you I'd sign that contra

Roxanne continued, "I'll tell everyone at the wedding that it wasn't Gabby's fault. No one should blame her for any of this."The more she gave in, the tighter Clinton pulled her into his arms. His expression darkened, and in the next second, he launched into a tirade. "Just look at your sister!
