Chapter 1

I waited at the airport for three hours. By the time the boarding gate closed, all I got was a message that Penelope had borrowed my partner, Julian Spencer, once again.The corners of my lips curved into a bitter smile.How pathetic.I rescheduled my flight to the next day. I was tired of having my partner taken away from me all the time.Then, I dug through my contacts and called a number I hadn't contacted in a long time. The other person picked up immediately."I heard you're back in the country. Do you want to get married?" I asked.The man on the other end fell silent. Moments later, a deep, magnetic voice came through the phone. "I'm in Westbridge. When do you want to hold the wedding? You're not allowed to change your mind."A faint smile tugged at my lips. "How about the day after tomorrow?""Sounds good to me."…When I returned to the home I shared with Julian, the first thing I saw when I stepped through the door wasn't a wedding photo of Julian and me. It was

The next day, my lawyer sent me the divorce papers he'd prepared.After I found Julian, I was just about to talk to him about it when he grabbed my wrist."Come on," he said anxiously. "Penelope's mom is already waiting for us back at her place. We're supposed to join them for dinner."Penelope suddenly appeared behind him and held onto his arm. "Hey, Jen. I'm borrowing Julian for the day so he can pretend to be my boyfriend. You haven't forgotten about that, have you?"Blushing, she turned to Julian and said coquettishly, "Honey…" Julian grinned and patted the back of her hand. "Yes, dear? When we were younger, you were always chasing me around and making me play along with your silly games. Who would've thought that we'd end up here?"Upon hearing this, Penelope smacked him. The two of them burst into laughter, completely leaving me out of the conversation. I opened my mouth to speak, but my voice sounded frighteningly hoarse. "You want me to come with you to her parents'

The dinner had turned into a complete fiasco. Thomas flipped the table, while Elizabeth's eyes welled up with tears.Julian tore the divorce papers into shreds. Grabbing my wrist, he growled, "Did you really have to make a scene tonight, Jennifer?"Penelope, on the other hand, was sobbing hysterically."When we were kids, Julian promised me that he'd give me a wedding someday. If you were upset about it, you could've talked to me about it privately. Why did you have to humiliate me in front of everyone?"I yanked my wrist free."Fine. I'll give you what you want," I said coolly. "I paid the deposit for the wedding ceremony, and I was the one who booked the venue. Consider it my wedding gift to the two of you."With that, I turned around and left."Wait! Jennifer!" Julian's friends called after me.Julian came running after me. Once he caught up with me, he wrapped an arm around my waist and softened his voice."I made a promise to Penelope. If I don't follow through, she'll

I didn't know how I managed to leave that place.Julian had held onto my wrist extremely tightly because he was afraid I'd hurt Penelope. My wrist was dark with bruises, but the pain in my wrist was nothing compared to the ache in my chest. A light rain had begun to fall, and I struggled to flag down a cab by the side of the road. Laughter and chatter spilled from the bar behind me, but no one from the group came after me. Suddenly, my phone lit up with a message from Dylan Scott."Which wedding invitation design do you prefer?"My fingers trembled as I typed out a reply."Let's go with the first one."I reposted the wedding invitation Dylan had posted on social media before hopping into my cab. Some time later, Julian called me."They went too far tonight, Jennifer," he said over the phone."So?" My voice was flat, and my reaction seemed to have caught him off guard. After a long pause, he said, "Penelope's pregnant."My hand started to shake, and my voice came out dry a

Jennifer's POVDylan had taken care of everything before I even returned to Westbridge. The entire wedding venue was decorated to my preferences. Every item on the list I'd given the wedding planner was now right in front of me.Someone had given me everything Julian failed to."Do you like it?" Dylan took my hand and slowly led me into the chapel.I felt myself tear up. "I can't believe you remembered all of this."Dylan lowered his gaze and quietly hummed in response.He'd lived right next to me when we were kids, and we'd practically grown up together. Then, after our college entrance exams, he confessed his feelings to me. We started dating and spent four happy years together. But then, he had to leave the country to pursue his studies. I couldn't handle a long-distance relationship, so we broke up.Years later, my mother told me, "Dylan has returned to the country. During his years abroad, he never dated anyone. He carried a picture of you with him all the time.""What

The Scott family was one of the most prestigious families in Westbridge. Even though Julian was from somewhere as far away as Oakville, he had heard of the Scotts too. On top of that, he knew that my ex-boyfriend—the man I'd broken up with because we couldn't make a long-distance relationship work—was Dylan Scott."So?" Dylan slipped his hands into his pockets and walked over to Julian. "Is it my turn to write you a check now?"Julian's face paled. He instinctively looked toward me, but I did as he did and looked away without saying a word.My mother stepped in to de-escalate the situation. "Maybe you and Jennifer are simply not meant to be, Julian. It's time to let her go," she advised.Dad, on the other hand, let out a cold snort. He made no attempt to hide his displeasure toward Julian.Dylan's lips curved up into a faint smirk. "Don't worry, Henry, Eleanor. I'll handle this."He deliberately addressed my parents by their first names to show Julian how close they were. H

After a few quick rounds of toasts, Dylan and I returned to the villa. It was well past midnight by the time we went to sleep. When I woke up the next morning, my lower back ached.Dylan wrapped his arms around me from behind and bit my shoulder again. I hissed in pain. "Are you part dog, Dylan?"Kissing the spot he'd just bitten, he replied in a low and raspy voice, "I'm just jealous.""Jealous of what?""The fact that he got to spend three years with you.""Are you trying to mark your territory then? How childish." I pushed him away with an annoyed huff. Just then, one of the housekeepers knocked at our bedroom door, but she didn't enter the room. "Mr. and Mrs. Scott, two people are waiting downstairs. They're asking to see Mrs. Scott."When Dylan and I went downstairs, Julian and Penelope were sitting on the couch. The moment Julian saw me, he shot to his feet. When his eyes fell on the mark on my shoulder, he instantly frowned."You do realize she's married, righ

With a trembling hand, Julian finally signed the divorce papers. Afterward, Dylan tried to check the document, but Julian clutched the papers tightly and refused to let go. Staring at me with teary eyes, Julian cried, "I'm sorry, Jennifer. I didn't realize how much I'd hurt you. Can you give me another chance? Can we please start over?"He must've finally realized that I was serious about leaving him.Scoffing, I replied, "Where was this attitude before? It's too late now. I already have a new husband."As my words fell, I deliberately kissed Dylan's cheek in front of him. All of a sudden, a commotion broke out outside of the villa. "You can't go in! The owner of the villa hasn't permitted you to enter!" a security guard barked as he tried to stop the people from entering the house.It was Julian's friends. Samuel shoved the guard aside and spat on the ground. "Go to hell! We're here to see our friend's wife. How dare you stop us from meeting up with her?" The moment they

The security team finally arrived and escorted the entire group out. "Don't let them anywhere near my house again," Dylan instructed the head of security.Julian and Penelope hadn't left. When Penelope saw how Dylan protected me, she smirked.Walking up to him, she casually mentioned, "Did you know that Jennifer can't have children? I'm not like her, though. Julian and I got pregnant on our first try."Dylan stared at her coldly. "So? What are you trying to say? Are you expecting me to congratulate you after you've insulted my wife in my own home?"Startled by his intimidating demeanor, Penelope stumbled backward and collided with Julian. "Y-You don't care?" she stammered.I grabbed her purse from the couch and hurled it toward them. "Take your things and get out! You're not welcome here!"Penelope wanted to say something else, but Julian grabbed her arm and pulled her toward the door."What are you doing?" she cried. "Let go of me!""We're leaving!" Julian snapped, grippin

Chapter 10

Time passed in the blink of an eye. The next time Julian and I met, it was to finalize our divorce. He looked much more haggard than before. His dark circles were incredibly apparent, and his jaw was rough with unshaven stubble."Jennifer…" The moment he saw me, he instinctively reached toward me. But to his dismay, I stepped around him and stood next to Dylan instead."I'm sorry, Mr. Spencer. We're already divorced."When I finally received my divorce decree, I suddenly felt as though an entire lifetime had passed.Dylan kissed my cheek. "I already got us a spot in line to get our marriage license."Hearing this, Julian stopped in his tracks. He looked down at the divorce decree he was holding and stared at it blankly."I still have our marriage license, Jennifer," he told me.I flashed him a smile. "Sorry. I threw mine away."Julian clenched his fists and slowly walked toward me. Seeing this, Dylan instinctively stepped in front of me, shielding me from him."Jennifer, I
