Lahat ng Kabanata ng So I Married the Problem: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 9

The next morning, the Twyfords held a press conference.They announced that the two girls had been switched at birth and that their biological daughter would marry Axel Alwyn.The media went nuts. Everyone knew Axel was paralyzed, and the daughter the Twyfords had just found was already being shipped off to honor the engagement.No one was fooled. Rumors about the Twyfords spread fast, and even their stock took a hit.The lawyer handed me the share transfer papers. I checked every term, then signed.With that fifteen percent officially mine, I'd gotten what I wanted.As for what happened to the Twyfords?'What did that have to do with me?'The second the press conference ended, I grabbed my suitcase and headed out. Footsteps rushed up behind me."Thea, wait!"Jared caught up and grabbed my wrist."Did you really have to go this far? Do you even know how long Rory cried backstage after what you did yesterday?"I yanked my hand free. "Why would I care how long she cried? Are

For the next month, I lived in Axel's bedroom.Even through the door, the servants could hear loud crashes and my muffled cries.But inside, it was a totally different story.I sat calmly on the couch, adjusting the slim electrode probes placed along the nerves in Axel's legs.The crashes? Axel was just smashing cheap vases to sell the act.Axel hissed as I adjusted the last probe, sweat beading on his forehead."You can feel pain now?" I raised a brow and handed him a towel.Axel wiped his forehead, his dark eyes lighting up. "Yeah. Feels like a thousand ants gnawing at my bones. Still beats feeling nothing.""That's good. Your nerves are reconnecting." I removed the probes. "Give it two more weeks, and you'll be walking normally."Axel watched me work with a knowing smile. "If people knew what you could do, every old guy in Borevia's elite circle would be lining up outside my door."I scoffed and packed up the equipment. "Flattery won't work on me. We had a deal. Your legs

"Regret it? Why would we regret anything?" Rory looked at me like I was an idiot, ready to keep running her mouth.Just then, the ballroom lights dimmed, and a bright spotlight hit the stage.The room went dead silent.Nolan strutted onto the stage in a flashy white suit, every hair perfectly in place.He grabbed the mic, looking smug as hell."Thank you all for coming tonight."As everyone knows, my brother Axel was paralyzed in a car accident and can no longer run Alwyn Corp."For the future of the company, the board has unanimously decided that, starting today, I, Nolan Alwyn, will officially take over as chairman!"The room exploded in applause.Richard and Jared clapped the hardest, both wearing huge kiss-ass smiles.Nolan raised a hand, smugly quieting the crowd."I also have one more announcement. My brother's wife, Thea, is a terrible person and doesn't deserve to be part of the Alwyn family. So today, on my brother's behalf, I'm kicking her—"Bang!Before he could

I leaned in and looked Diane straight in the eye."You think I don't know the truth about that so-called hospital mix-up?"Diane stopped crying. Her eyes widened in panic."Funny thing. The first day I came back, I checked the old records. There was no nurse mix-up. We were never switched at birth."You hired some fake fortune teller who said I was cursed. He told you keeping me would get you both killed and destroy the family fortune."So my own parents dumped me with relatives in the country and left me there."Then you paid an orphanage to give you Rory because that same fraud said she'd bring the family good luck and wealth. You raised her like a princess for twenty years!"I kept my voice calm, but every word hit hard."You abandoned your own daughter because of some ridiculous fortune teller. And now you wanna stand here and talk to me about family?"You don't get to."Get out. You're not welcome on Alwyn property!"That wiped out whatever fight Richard and Diane had l
