“Sign it.” Mabel’s fingers tightened around the pen. Four years of marriage, reduced to a single signature. “Don’t make this harder than it needs to be,” her husband, Dexter, said coldly. Beside him, another woman, the same one she once called her best friend, clung to his arm, confident and proud. “Don’t waste our time,” she added. So Mabel signed and walked away quietly, just like the obedient wife she had always been. What he didn’t know was that the woman he discarded so easily was the heiress to the very network he had spent his entire life building, the same network that decided whether his business would rise or fall. By the time he realized the value of what he had lost, it was already too late. Mabel was no longer his submissive wife. And when he finally came crawling back, begging for another chance, an arm wrapped possessively around her waist. “She’s mine now, kid. Call her auntie.” The man he hated with his entire heart, his own uncle, stood beside her. Now, the doors that once opened effortlessly for him were closing, one by one.

That very night, she encountered Julian Vance—the cold, powerful man who had been Nathan Hale's greatest business rival for years. Desperate to protect herself from her ex-husband's family, Wendy made an outrageous proposal. "Marry me." She expected him to agree to a temporary arrangement. Instead, Julian looked at her calmly and replied: "If you marry me, I don't do fake marriages." Overnight, Wendy became Mrs. Vance. Her ex-husband was furious. His family was stunned. The entire elite circle waited for the marriage to collapse. But nobody expected the supposedly cold Julian Vance to become completely devoted to his new wife. When she was bullied, he protected her.

And when Wendy finally realized that her husband was no longer pretending, she asked: "When did this marriage stop being a deal?" Julian pulled her closer. "For you, perhaps it was a deal. For me, it became love the moment I chose you."
