Chapter 1

The seven men before me dropped to one knee in perfect unison."Ms. Nadia Sterling, marry me!"Their voices echoed in my head, and I instinctively tried to run. However, the moment I turned around, I locked eyes with Grandpa.Grandpa flashed me a warm smile. "Nadia, which one do you like? I've already trained them all for you.I lost my parents when I was young, and Grandpa raised me all by himself. All these years, he only had one wish: to see our family grow and thrive.My high-fertility genes made me the perfect candidate to make that happen. So, Grandpa brought in seven jacked jocks to get close to me.Athletes had the best stamina, especially when it came to that sort of thing, and these seven were handpicked from the best of the best. Every single one was a total animal, perfect for breeding. In my past life, I thought the same thing.Back then, I chose my favorite among them: Kyle Grant, the oldest. However, after the wedding, he showed his true colors.The seven of them

Outside the door, Felicia was eavesdropping on everything, and her eyes burned with resentment.She hissed through gritted teeth, "Nadia, why does everyone love you? Whatever you want, I’ll make sure you don’t get it."Then, she headed back to the living room. When she saw the seven brothers, she quickly hid away her spiteful expression and put on a hurt, hesitant look instead.The moment they spotted Felicia, all seven of them swarmed around her."Felicia, what's wrong?" Kyle immediately noticed something was off with her.Before Felicia could even say a word, her eyes turned red, which made all seven of them feel sorry for her."Did Nadia bully you again?""Felicia, don't be scared. We'll protect you."A single tear rolled down Felicia's cheek at just the right moment. "She didn't bully me, it's just-""It's just that I overheard her saying she wants to marry Sebastian, and that you guys aren't good enough for her."Kyle clenched his fists. "She really said that?"Felicia

I called out, "Security."At my command, the bodyguards who was standing by immediately appeared and professionally restrained all seven men who were still making a scene.Kyle's arms were twisted behind his back."Nadia, if you dare throw me out today, then even if you get on your knees and beg me later, I will never marry you!""Marry me?" I let out a laugh as if I just heard the most ridiculous joke in the world. "You think you're worthy?"Without hesitation, I pointed toward the front door. "Throw them all out!"The next day, the matchmaking event was held again. The party was packed with influential people, and all eyes were now focused on those seven brothers and me.They sat on the couch across from me, their eyes full of resentment and disgust toward me.I sat opposite them, my gaze fixed on the entrance of the banquet hall, because the person I was waiting for did not arrive yet.Someone asked, "Ms. Sterling, why haven't you chosen your husband yet?"I glanced at the s

The room instantly erupted with heated discussion.Someone whispered, "What's going on? Wasn't she supposed to choose from the seven brothers?""Aren't the Irving family and the Sterling family sworn enemies? How could Nadia and Sebastian end up together?"I ignored the chatter around us and pushed Sebastian's wheelchair forward until we reached the front. Then I picked up the prepared marriage contract and carefully signed my name, stroke by stroke. After that, I handed the pen to Sebastian, who smiled at me faintly before signing his name with a bold flourish.When the signed contract was displayed on the big screen, the crowd exploded with even more intense discussion."This really is a marriage contract! The Irving family and the Sterling family are actually forming an alliance!""Then what about those seven guys just now," The speaker's meaningful tone instantly made the seven brothers the focus of everyone's attention.The seven brothers standing nearby were clearly caught

When the event ended, Sebastian offered to drive me back to the Sterling family estate, saying it was his duty as my fiancé. I could not help but be touched by his thoughtfulness.When we reached the front door, I invited him in. "Seb, do you want to come inside for a bit?"I looked at his perfectly sculpted profile and thought to myself that aside from his illness and condition, there was nothing about this man that was not flawless.Sebastian seemed tempted but ultimately declined.I did not push him. "Alright then, see you next time."The moment I walked through the door, I ran straight into Kyle.He blocked my path in the doorway and said, "Nadia, you're finally back. I've been waiting for you."Meeting Kyle's gaze, I got the feeling he was up to no good. I did not bother playing nice and replied coldly, "Move. I'm going to my room."Kyle's first instinct was to get angry, but he forced himself to hold it back. "Nadia, I know you don't actually like Sebastian. Now, I'm givi

I looked at the seven men standing in front of me, every one of them clearly unwilling to leave.I said coldly, "You have one day to pack up and leave. If I see any of you in this house tomorrow morning, I'll have security throw you and all your stuff out."After dropping that statement, I turned and left.The seven brothers were left staring at each other, confused."Kyle, what should we do?"As soon as those words were spoken, the other six all turned to look at Kyle.The latter's face darkened as he fell into thought."Kyle, say something!""If we get kicked out, how are we supposed to swindle Nadia's fortune?""Exactly, Kyle. Nadia used to be so crazy about you. How can she bear to kick you out now?""It's all that Sebastian's fault for showing up out of nowhere. If it weren't for him, we'd already be spending Nadia's money by now."Kyle cut off their complaints and shouted, "Enough! Right now, I need to figure out a way to stay here. Only by staying can we continue enjo

The lilies by the door did not escape Felicia's anger either, and she ripped them apart, tearing off petals and leaves alike. After doing all that, she finally felt a bit better, and she stared at my door with venom in her eyes."A party? I'm going too, to see whose side they're on!"The moment Felicia entered the guest room, a sack was thrown over her head."Got you.""Stay still, or we won't be nice about it.""Yeah, otherwise we won't hold back."Felicia was dazed for a moment when the sack went over her head, but when she heard their voices, she immediately realized what was happening. She tried to speak, but the drug already kicked in, and she lost the strength to talk."Nadia, weren't you so high and mighty? Now that you're like this, can you still talk back?"Hearing my name, Felicia instinctively struggled.Suddenly, a fist landed in Felicia's stomach. The pain left her speechless while her already foggy brain became even more disoriented.Felicia's consciousness was

Sebastian laughed heartily. "Who said I couldn't stand?""Huh? What?! Then why have you been in a wheelchair this whole time?"He replied, "It was fake."I was puzzled. "But why?""I wanted to get your attention.""Why would you want to get my- Wait, do you have feelings for me?"In a flash of clarity, I thought of an unlikely possibility.Sebastian smiled mischievously. "Yeah. You're only just figuring that out?""Why didn't you say something before?"Sebastian explained, "Because you were hell-bent on being my sworn enemy and wanted nothing more than to completely defeat me.""Then doesn't that mean you've already lost to me now?""Yeah," he said softly, "and I lost willingly."His handsome face, paired with that bold, confident smile, left me staring for a moment."What's wrong? Stunned by how good-looking I am?" Sebastian's face suddenly loomed closer to mine.The distance between us became so small that I could see every detail of his face clearly. I remembered anoth

Chapter 9

After muttering to herself for a while and seeing me remain completely indifferent, Felicia completely lost it. She pulled a knife from her pocket and charged straight at me.I dodged to the side and narrowly escaped.Felicia tried to continue her attack, but she was kicked to the ground. I looked up and found that Sebastian arrived.Soon, Felicia was restrained by the people Sebastian brought with him, and she was no longer a threat.Sebastian held me tightly, still shaken. "Nadia, thank god I got here in time. I can't even imagine what I'd do if I lost you."I stroked Sebastian's head to comfort him.Felicia stared blankly at Sebastian, shocked. "How are you standing?""Who said I was crippled?" Sebastian looked coldly at Felicia.Then, he ordered his men, "Take her to a psychiatric hospital. Make sure she gets proper treatment."Felicia was held down and had no power to resist. Later, she was taken all the way to a psychiatric facility. The sharp smell of disinfectant in th
