Husband and Sister’s Betrayal
On my wedding day, my arranged fiancé abandoned me and chose my sister instead.
As I became the laughingstock of every elite guest in attendance, my business partner James Crawford shocked everyone by publicly proposing to me with a passionate declaration of love.
After we married, he was incredibly attentive, especially during my pregnancy when he catered to my every need. I thought my suffering had finally ended.
Until I overheard his confession to my sister:
"I've only ever loved you." James's voice carried a passion I'd never heard him use with me. "Marry her? I was only after her resources, connections, and her talent for making money. She's nothing but a useful cash cow."
"Now that she's pregnant, even better." His tone was coldly calculating. "With the baby, she'll be even more dependent on me, more devoted. She'll never leave."
Everything I had treasured—our love, our marriage—was all a lie.
Learning the truth, I turned and walked away without a word.
I was done with this charade. Everything that belonged to me, I would reclaim with my own hands.
