Chapter 1

I held my fresh-out-of-the-oven marriage certificate, feeling a little dazed.Before that day, I'd only met Savannah Reed once, when she came to visit our family. My brother, Morgan Slater, had never allowed me to talk to any of the rich women he had his eye on, so she didn't know me at all.But now, we were legally married, and we were even going to live under the same roof."I'm going to take a shower. If you're hungry, there's food in the fridge." Her voice, a little awkward and stiff, pulled me back to reality.I opened the tiny fridge. Inside was just one small vegetarian takeout box.On the live stream, I saw comments float up on the screen.[The poor female lead. Not only did she get kicked out, but she also owes the Reed family over two million dollars for raising her. She can only eat the cheapest boxed meals around now.][She's not used to this kind of food, though. She's taken, what, two bites in two days?]By the time Savannah finished her shower and came out, there

The chat instantly blew up on Morgan's end. He called me, but I rejected all of them. Then, he bombarded me with texts."Chase, are you insane? Picking up the trash I don't want is one thing, but you just had to go for that fake heiress, Savannah Reed? Giving up a good life for someone like her… You really are doomed to be poor forever!"Using the light from my phone, I glanced at the comments floating up.[The male lead is the real idiot here. In 40 days, the female lead's grandfather, Steven Reed, is going to bring her back home. If he doesn't hold on to her now, he can kiss his dreams of marrying a rich woman goodbye!]40 days. That was enough for me.Savannah turned over in bed, probably noticing the glow from my phone. I asked in a small voice, "Did I wake you?""No.""I heard you on the phone just now. Was that the Reeds calling to collect on the debt?""Yeah.""How much do you still owe?"Savannah was quiet for a few seconds before answering flatly, "Five million dolla

Chapter 3

The pilled gray four-piece bedsheet set had been swapped for a warm yellow set, and a plate of still-steaming pork chops with greens sat on the kitchen counter.The old, dim bulb had been replaced with a new one, its warm light filling the 300-square-foot basement.In this freshly made-over "home", I was standing on a stool, changing the curtains. When I heard the door, I turned my head and gave Savannah a small smile."You're back. Dig in while the food's hot. The boss at the market gave it to me for free. These things didn't cost much, either. They're all bargain finds."Savannah's eyes turned slightly red as she scanned the room over and over, taking in every object. The large blocks of yellow filled her eyes, and the strong visual impact made her chest rise and fall. Her eyes grew even redder.I seized the moment and continued, "Sorry. I went ahead and decided on warm yellow without asking you first. I just figured it was something you would like. I changed your pillowcase, to

Chapter 4

I kept my back to Savannah, but I could feel her gaze fixed on my fingers. I acted like I didn't want her to notice anything and hurriedly tugged my sleeves down.She was quiet for a long moment before finally looking away.…The next night, I went out to run my stall as usual. Morgan showed up with Mom and Dad in tow, all three of them storming over with ugly looks on their faces."We've finally found you! Real bold of you, huh? Getting married behind our backs!"They overturned my stall. Batter and toppings spilled all over the ground.Morgan stood there in his expensive suit, watching the chaos with barely concealed glee. "I warned you, Chase. You're the one who didn't listen."Dad held out a hand impatiently. "Come on, hand it over. Where are the wedding gifts from your marriage?""Dad, Savannah Reed is just a fake heiress," Morgan cut in. "She owes the Reed family several million dollars. How could she possibly have any wedding gifts for him?"I stayed where I was. I was

Chapter 5

Savannah ate the peanuts I shelled for her. She wasn't really in the mood, but she still forced herself to chat with me. "Why did you pick hot dogs?""Right after the SAT a few years back, I went out to sell toys. The stall next to me was selling hot dogs, and they made more in one month than I made in six," I explained.She lowered her head and asked absent-mindedly, "You didn't go to college after the SAT?"I went quiet.It took a while before she realized the shift in me. When she finally looked up, she saw the despondent look on my face."My family… doesn't need two college graduates," I murmured. That one sentence said more than a million.Savannah grew even more upset. She walked over and wrapped her arms around me, pressing her cheek against my chest. "Chase, if I never pay off that debt for the rest of my life… maybe we should just split up…"I panicked, then pushed her away and grabbed her wrist. "Savannah, are you dumping me?"She shook her head hard, then sighed. "No

Chapter 6

[The male lead has finally woken up. Hurry up and get back together with the female lead already!][But as soon as he heard that the female lead was a fake heiress, he ran. The younger brother stayed and suffered with her. Now that he's back, isn't that totally unfair to the younger brother?][Come in, if the younger brother really knew from the start that she was the real heiress and still played along, then he was lying to her, too. How is that any different from the male lead?]The comments went crazy the moment Morgan appeared. And through the blizzard of comments, what I saw in Savannah's eyes was pure anger—the kind that came after betrayal."You knew all along, Chase? That's why you married me!"It was the truth, but the fact that she chose to believe Morgan and doubt me stung. I thought that even if the past 40 days weren't enough for her to fall in love with me, they would at least be enough for her to see what Morgan, whom she loved, was really like. She'd seen how he'd

Chapter 7

"I was never the one you wanted to marry, anyway. I'm sorry for bothering you all this time," I said.Morgan's jaw dropped in delight, while Savannah grew more flustered. Only Steven narrowed his eyes, as if he were already plotting something vicious.I gritted my teeth and went on, "I'll walk away with nothing. We can go to the courthouse right now."He was taken aback. Then, he let out a rather regretful sigh.…Savannah refused to get a divorce, but I stood my ground. With Morgan fanning the flames beside us, she finally gave in and signed the papers.That was when everything really clicked for me.She could moan my name in bed and swear that she would never betray me. But as long as Morgan existed, she was never going to trust me wholeheartedly, nor would she stand by me 100%.If I wanted to be the Reed family's son-in-law for life, I had to retreat in order to advance.After getting a slip that indicated when we needed to return to the courthouse after everything was fina

Chapter 8

I laughed bitterly at myself.Of course. Morgan was the male lead, after all. He was Savannah's first and true love. All he had to do was pull a few tricks, and she was ready to toss everything aside for him.This marriage was ending today, no matter what."Savannah." I stopped her. "Sign the papers before you go."She hesitated only a second, then quickly signed. As she ran out, she called over her shoulder, "Chase, unblock my number! We still have things to talk about. I'll contact you once I sort things out with Morgan!"Contact me for what? So I could watch her and Morgan be lovebirds to my face?I watched her run out of the courthouse, then took one copy of the divorce certificate. On the other copy, I wrote down an address and had it mailed straight to the Reed residence.After that, I strode out of the courthouse without a backward look and got on a train to Awan.…Awan was beautiful, like something straight out of a postcard. It was also packed with tourists, which me

Chapter 9

Savannah was stunned after watching the video. Then, she completely blew up at Morgan because she realized that what she'd seen of Morgan saving a drowning child had only been the tail end of the whole thing. She'd caught only a snippet of the commotion.The one who'd actually jumped into the water and saved the kid, emerging sopping wet from the water… was me.After that, she started searching for me even more fervently than before. She threw all the Reed family affairs aside and swore she wouldn't rest until she found me.A month later, a tourism promo video for Awan exploded online. In a split second of a landscape shot, my figure appeared in the background.Less than 24 hours after the video went up, I stepped out for a walk and ran into Savannah. She really lived up to being the Reed family heiress—she managed to track me down, just from a single second of footage."Chase, I've missed you so much," she said.I put on the perfect startled, frightened expression and turned to

Chapter 10

"Chase, after you left, Savannah stopped caring about everything. She almost ran the Reed family business into the ground. Now that you're back, you have to keep a close eye on her! Let's see if she still dares to act out once she gives birth!" Steven said.I nodded, but deep inside, I didn't have too much of a good impression of him.All it had taken was a mistaken paternity test for him to ruthlessly cast aside the granddaughter he'd raised for over 20 years and even dump more than two million dollars in debt on her. He was definitely no saint.Still, he was getting old. Stepping down was only a matter of time.While Savannah was still in the early stages of pregnancy, we went to get remarried. We held a grand, extravagant wedding, and she announced to the world that I was now the Reed family's son-in-law.Plenty of people in our social circle said I was only after her money. Some men even fell over themselves to be her boy toy.But she didn't look at a single one of them. Even
