Chapter 1

Tiffany Bastion removed the mask and demanded, "Why are you throwing a fit, Nathan Heaton? Why are you threatening to call off the wedding? What do you take me for?""You're the one who said that you'll call off the wedding if you can't even identify your own husband with just your touch," I retorted.Tiffany was briefly stunned before she started laughing. "Oh, I see. You're jealous. Okay, that's enough. It's just a game. Besides, you and Justin grew up together. It's not like he's a stranger."A stranger, huh?In the past, when Tiffany lost a game of Truth or Dare, she and Justin Winston fed each other alcohol right in front of me.During her bachelorette party, she slept in the same bed as Justin after exhausting herself from celebrating too much.Tiffany would always use the same damned excuse that Justin wasn't a stranger to smooth things over whenever I confronted her about her behavior.Even today, during such an important occasion, she trampled all over my reputation in

Chapter 2

In the end, Tiffany signed a contract.With our friends as witnesses, she promised to keep her distance from Justin and never do anything that crossed the line ever again. Only then did I agree to continue the wedding ceremony.We had just got into our wedding car when her phone started ringing.The words "Husband A" flashed on the screen."I'll wait for you in the dressing room in the hotel. I haven't forgotten the promise that I made to you last night. I'll personally put on your veil for you and send you down the aisle."I snatched Tiffany's phone from her and swiftly unlocked it.Two names were pinned to the top of her chat.One of them was "Husband A", and the other one was "Husband B".After looking at the profile pictures, I immediately recognized that "Husband A" was Justin, and I was "Husband B".I thought about how, when Tiffany and I had just become a couple, she had sweetly said, "I'm going to change your nickname in my phone to 'Husband.' That way, I'll immediatel

Chapter 3

It didn't take long before the news spread among the elites.The scions who used to treat Justin as if he were their own brother immediately severed their ties with him. Even his business partners silently but swiftly retracted their funding.Panicking, Justin sent me a few apologetic voice messages.I didn't even get a chance to listen to them before Tiffany kicked the door open. She held up the hem of her wedding dress as she dashed into the room, looking furious."Didn't I already sign a contract, Nathan? Why are you still cornering Justin into a dead end? He was orphaned as a child. It took a lot of hard work for him to get to where he is now, but your mother has totally cut off all his options. Don't you think that you're bullying him too much?"I stared at the wedding dress that she was wearing.I suddenly recalled that three days ago, I received a call from the bridal studio. They informed me that Tiffany had changed her wedding dress and asked if I wanted to change my sui

Chapter 4

I barked out an indignant laugh.The wedding venue was in the busiest area of the city. If one wanted to rent it for a day, they had to be prepared to fork out enough money to cover the seven-digit bill.On top of that, I had placed custom orders to secure the highest-quality decorations for the hall and the best catering for the guests.It seemed that Justin and Tiffany had given up on their act. Instead, they were planning to host a grand wedding ceremony for themselves on my dime without spending a single penny of their own.Just then, the host's voice echoed from within the hall."Now, let us welcome our newlyweds to the stage!"I kicked the door open and strode into the hall among the guests' thunderous applause.Tiffany's eyes instantly widened when she spotted me from where she was standing on the stage."What are you doing here, Nathan?"I scoffed before grabbing one of the glasses from the bottom row of the champagne tower that was next to me.In the next second, doz

Chapter 5

The recording showed the interior of a karaoke room.Although both parties' faces were obscured, anyone could tell that one of the voices belonged to Justin.Justin had gone behind everyone's backs and contacted Bastion Group's rival company. He had planned to work with them to acquire the Bastion Group shares in my possession."I've already handled the elders of the Bastion family," Justin said arrogantly in the video. "Once everything is done, you'll transfer the shares to me. In return, I'll give you the plot of land that Bastion Group owns in Westfield."Tiffany became deathly pale upon hearing his words. She rushed toward Justin and grabbed a fistful of his collar."Tell me! Is this real? Who the hell do you think you are? What makes you think that you have the right to decide what to do with the plot of land in Westfield?"It was well known that when the Bastion Group first became embroiled in a financial crisis, they were relentlessly attacked by their competitors and were

Chapter 6

"You already got your hands on the evidence a long time ago, didn't you, Nathan?" Justin asked. "You just bided your time until the wedding ceremony to reveal them. You just wanted to humiliate Tiffany, didn't you?"You Heatons are all the same. All of you are rotten to the core. After Dad sacrificed his life to save your father, he claimed that he wanted to show his gratitude by letting me live in the Heaton residence. In reality, everyone treated me as if I were part of the household staff."When you celebrate your birthday, you get gifts like branded watches and luxury cars. When it's my birthday, all I get are reminders that I need to be grateful after I grow up."But why do I have to be grateful? Should I be grateful that the Heaton family fed me because they treated me as a charity case? Or should I be grateful because they took care of me like a pet dog for so many years?"A deep and steady voice resounded from the entrance of the hall the moment the words left Justin's lips

Chapter 7

Tiffany chased after me. Her eyes were glistening with tears when she grabbed my arm and asked, "Did you already know that something was going on between Justin and me a long time ago, Nathan?"I didn't deny her assumption.Truth be told, I didn't know for sure, but I did have a gut feeling.It was just that I didn't want to get involved in the past.After all, Tiffany and I were just engaged at the time. I didn't have the right to interfere with her regular social interactions.They were the ones who kept testing my limits over and over again.Tiffany assumed that she still had a chance when I remained silent."I've truly learned my lesson, Nathan. Please forgive me this one time," she begged pathetically. "I promise that I'll never do anything that will hurt you ever again."Mom and Dad only see me as a disposable pawn. I can't go back to the Bastion family. As for that bastard, Justin, I've seen his true colors now. You're the only one I have left."I coldly retracted my ar

Chapter 8

I stared at Tiffany's face for a long time before I suddenly burst into laughter."You don't have to apologize to me, Tiffany. I planned everything from the very beginning."Tiffany was stunned. "What did you say?""I ordered my men to investigate Justin when the two of you fed alcohol to each other that day. His company was in the red, and he needed an astronomical sum to pay off his debts."He didn't target you because he liked you. He targeted you because you were my fiancee. He thought that by marrying you, he could blackmail me and get the money that he needed from the Heaton family."I'm the one who ordered my assistant to leak the news to Mom during the wedding. I even made sure to embellish and exaggerate the story. That's why Mom froze all of Justin's cards in a fit of anger."But Justin has been part of the business circle for a long time. He has his own connections, so I made sure to spread the word that I planned to exterminate him from the industry beforehand."I to

Chapter 9

I stared at the message for a long time before I replied, "Okay."I then switched off my phone and headed upstairs to shower and turn in for the night.…My mind was still hazy with sleep when I was jolted awake by a loud noise coming from downstairs.When I peered down the stairs, I realized that the source of the noise was Justin.It was obvious that he was drunk. He had somehow scaled the walls around the garden and crawled into the compound, trampling all over the flowers that were meticulously cared for by the household staff.Justin waved the wine bottle in his hand in the air, causing a loud ruckus."Show yourself, Nathan Heaton! How can you sleep when you ruined me? Come out and face me in a battle to the death if you have the guts!"I grabbed my coat before descending the stairs.Worry was written all across the butler's face as he approached me."We're at our wits' end, Mr. Heaton. We were worried that Mr. Winston would hurt himself if we tried to surround him.""H
