The dying heir to Silverbay's showbiz empire suddenly announces he'll select a bride at random from the city's prominent families, hoping the marriage can bring some luck and save his life. On the night before my own wedding, his men arrive and inform us that the Simmons family has been chosen. My parents have just three days to deliver a daughter to him. As soon as my sister, Roxanne Simmons, hears the news, she breaks down in tears and rushes to my fiance for help. When he sees her crying, Clinton Whitfield drops to his knees in front of me, under everyone's gaze. "Mr. Sterling enjoys tormenting virgins. If Roxanne marries him, who knows what he'll do to her? "But you're already past the marrying age, so he won't be interested in you. Please, help Roxy this once!" He looks away, his voice heavy with guilt as he continues, "Besides, he doesn't have much time left. When you return, I'll marry you." Tears well up in my eyes. I ask, stunned, "And what if I don't want to?" Clinton's gaze turns cold, his earlier guilt replaced by ruthless intent. "Then I'll make sure you go to him myself." I laugh bitterly as a chill runs through me. "Fine. I'll go instead."

Since I was young, my mother said I was a competitive child. Whatever my twin sister, Luna Bloom had, I would want to have one too. Even when Luna was having medicine, I would steal a sip as well. My mother always protected Luna as she felt sorry for her. “Petra, you’ve been competitive since you were in my womb. It’s because you took all the nutrients when you were a fetus that Luna is this weak today. Why are you still snatching things from her now?” I suppressed my tears and lifted my chin defiantly. It was because I knew that if I did not fight for what was mine, I would not get anything in the end. The sweets belonged to Luna, the hugs were given to Luna. My mother always smiled when she looked at Luna, and my father only praised Luna. I was like a rash pirate, snatching every piece of breadcrumbs that I could get my hands on. One day, I graduated and brought my boyfriend, Asher Scott, home to meet my parents. Luna fell in love with Asher at first sight. “Petra, I’ve always let you have your way since we were young. Can you let me have him just for this once?” I looked at my bloodied palms. Usually, I was stubborn, but I changed my attitude for that instance. “Sure.” After all, I was about to die. Why would I stop them from getting their happiness?

When Evelyn Foster brought a man home for the ninety-eighth time, I still thoughtfully placed two cups of tea on the nightstand along with three boxes of condoms in different flavors. Seeing how meek I looked, the man let out a scornful snort. "No wonder women all want to marry men like you. Only men like you can put up with this kind of humiliation." I smiled and said nothing. I lowered my head and looked at the message my foster sister Claire had sent five minutes ago. [The family's financial crisis has been resolved. You don't need to sacrifice yourself anymore. Once you divorce Evelyn, we'll get married.] I replied with a single word. [Alright.] Then I had my lawyer draft a divorce agreement and send it to where Evelyn and I lived. I just forgot to tell my foster sister one thing. I would divorce Evelyn. But I would not marry her, either.
