Chapter 1

After 2000 ml of blood was extracted from me, I approached Cole Jefferson and begged him to marry me."Your marriage alliance is with the Sinclair brothers. Why are you talking to me about it?" I lowered my eyes in despair when he rejected me coldly. "The marriage alliance states that I have to marry a Sinclair. You're their older brother. You're a Sinclair too.""So, you've noticed me? I'll marry you on one condition."My hopes got up, and I nodded. "Don't reveal to the Sinclairs that you're marrying me before our wedding. There'll be a lot of trouble if you do.""Alright."I would agree to anything as long as I could get away from Ryan and Luke Sinclair. Five years ago, I saved Ryan and Luke from drowning during a cruise trip. Since then, they had been courting me and constantly flying into a jealous rage. They even forced their family to get into a marriage engagement with mine.I always thought I would end up marrying one of them. However, the Sinclairs held a pool part

Chapter 2

Nancy kept creating trouble as the wedding date got nearer. Every time she flew into a temper, the Sinclair brothers would torture me just to cheer her up. It drained me mentally and emotionally. I was really exhausted.I might have promised Cole not to reveal that I was getting married to him, but I still decided to stop running after the Sinclair brothers and begging them to love me.When I pushed the door open, Nancy was twirling while dressed in my wedding gown.Ryan and Luke were smiling at her. Their love for her was so obvious.They pursed their lips at the same time when I entered."Didn't you pretend to pass out to get hospitalized? You acted like you had anemia and refused to donate your blood this morning.""Why are you home so soon? Worried about missing the wedding tomorrow?""Come on, Paige. Why won't you just give up? You're really disgusting."Nancy's cunning smile suddenly disappeared from her face as she started to tug on the wedding gown she was wearing. "I'm

Chapter 3

Someone pulled off my wig during the chaos. I felt horrible at the thought of the hair I shaved off.While I was distracted, the Sinclair brothers took the opportunity to press my head into a pool next to the man-made hill. I was not prepared for it and swallowed some water.I could not stop myself from screaming due to the suffocation from drowning, but the force pushing me down the water refused to relent. I swallowed more water and could no longer breathe."Nancy could've married me if it weren't for you. She wouldn't need to suffer so much in your home!""This is your retribution for bullying Nancy, Paige!"I scratched at the hand pushing me down with everything I had, but it was pointless. The last of my energy had been exhausted, and I began to fall into darkness. Just as I was about to descend into despair and give up struggling, I was suddenly released.I heard a familiar voice. "It's not gentlemanly to bully a woman."My eyes shot open after taking in many sharp breaths

Chapter 4

The whispers got louder below the stage.Ryan and Luke were holding Nancy's arm on each side. All three of them were smiling cruelly."There's a marriage agreement between our families. Who else could you marry but us?""We're informing the whole world that you took credit when it was Nancy who saved us. You lied to us for five years. You lied to get this wedding!""This wedding should be Nancy's. We want you to give her this wedding to compensate her."The wedding march played while they were shouting all of this.They turned to Nancy at the same time. Her eyes turned red, but she refused to march forward."Thank you for treating me so well, but my parents are here. I'm afraid…"Her eyelashes fluttered like a bunny in fright. She looked pitiful.The Sinclair brothers immediately turned to my parents."Mr. and Mrs. Edwards, although this marriage was arranged long ago, we never specified that the bride had to be Paige.""Nancy is your daughter too. If you'd like to continue

Chapter 5

Laughter came from every corner, and my ears kept ringing. My eyes were also blinded by all the camera flashes. However, I continued standing on the stage without budging.Cole said he would come, and I wanted to believe him.When the Sinclair brothers saw how stubborn I was and how I refused to leave the stage, they stopped taunting me and looked grim."Do you think we're joking, Paige?""It's no use refusing to come down. Security, drag that scheming woman off the stage and throw her out."The security dragged me off while the brothers gently held Nancy's hand as they walked up the stage.While I was struggling, my wig got thrown to the floor.The brothers spoke up with contempt when they saw my bald head."Look, everyone. This scheming woman shaved her head just to get on our good side. How disgusting is that?"The laughter nearly blew off the roof. I could no longer hold back my tears.When they told me they had cancer, it crossed my mind that I was the type to always lov

Chapter 6

Cole frowned as he wiped off the buttercream on his hands. After that, he held my hand in front of everybody."Paige is my bride."Nancy stumbled backward from shock, her mouth falling open at the news."You're pretty shameless, aren't you, Paige? You lied to Ryan and Luke and tricked them into treating you well for the past five years. Now, you're trying to trick Co—"Before she could finish, the bodyguard standing next to Cole slapped her hard and pushed her head to the floor.Ryan and Luke opened their mouths without saying a word when they saw this. They were not brave enough to object to this.Even though Cole did not use the Sinclair name, he was a Sinclair, 100%. Not only was he the eldest son of the Sinclairs, but the fate of the family was also in his hands.After Cole's mother passed away, his father quickly married the Sinclair brothers' mother. It happened within the week she passed.Cole was angered by this and left the family. He took his mother's surname and swor

Chapter 7

My eyes instantly turned red as I felt the warmth from Cole's breath at the top of my head.Nancy suddenly jumped to pull the plug but was pressed down again by the bodyguard Cole brought with him.Everyone watched as each frame from the footage back then was played.Ryan and Luke had fallen into the water from fooling around. I called for help, but no one came, so I jumped into the water. I saved Ryan first as he was nearest. Before my stamina returned, I jumped back into the water to save Luke.Nancy helped pull up both men dragged back by me while on the cruise. However, she ignored the hand I reached out even though I was already exhausted.I was not able to get onto the cruise and fell back into the water like a falling leaf."What's going on? The Sinclair brothers didn't confirm the facts and just immediately believed Nancy's words?""That's horrible. If Cole hadn't brought the old footage here, Paige's life would've been ruined.""I saw Nancy step on Paige's hand on purp

Chapter 8

Everything was like a dream.Cole was gentlemanly enough to sit at a distance when he saw me acting a little awkwardly."I've been paying attention to you all these years, Paige. All this time, I've always thought you would end up marrying one of them. I thought they would take good care of you. It never occurred to me that they would be willing to hurt you over Nancy's dirty little trick. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have given way to them."His words made me a little upset."Why didn't you come to me sooner? Why didn't you tell me about this?"The look in Cole's eyes dimmed slightly."I had nothing then. I was under someone's control. I had no idea what would be waiting for me at the end of the road. I didn't want it to affect your life. After that… I heard about how you were always running after them. I thought you loved them a lot."I was wrong. If I had only thought about asking about your life, you wouldn't have suffered so much."He lowered his head and l

Chapter 9

Nancy's face was covered with tears as she cried while begging, "I was wrong, Ryan and Luke. Please have mercy on me. Everything I did was just to create a better future for myself. I never thought about hurting anyone…"Ryan refused to listen to her explanation and kicked her again.It chilled me to see Nancy looking like a mess. She did everything for her future without considering that it would ruin my life.All three of them were equally disgusting. None of them deserved forgiveness.When my gaze fell on Nancy, Luke suddenly smiled."It was this bitch who bewitched us. Look, Paige. We know we were wrong. We won't allow Paige to live a single day in peace from this day onward. If you still refuse to forgive us, we'll torture her day and night until you're no longer mad."I sighed. "Nancy was the one who lied, but you were the ones who hurt me and made me into a laughingstock. Ryan and Luke Sinclair, you're both equally disgusting to me. I'll never forgive all three of you."T
