Broke Ex Wants Me Back After I Marry Rich
On the day after proposing to me, Edward Harrington takes his first love, Lily Monroe, on an overseas trip. All that's left is a note on the nightstand.
"Lily has been wanting to travel to Marinova for the longest time. I'll spend a few days with her there before coming home to marry you."
As I stare at the low-quality ring Edward has purchased from a convenience store at the very last minute, I can only smile silently.
Well, it turns out that the so-called "a few days" ends up being 1095 days.
Three years later, Edward and Lily return to the country in a high-profile manner. The first thing Edward has done is to seek me out and request that I become their bridesmaid.
"Audrey, I couldn't resist Lily's charms, so I slept with her once. But she got pregnant right away."
Guilt flickers across Edward's face. "The doctor said Lily can't get an abortion. Otherwise, she won't be able to get pregnant anymore."
Upon noticing my silence, Edward suddenly leans down and starts peppering kisses down the side of my neck.
"The wedding is just a show for the elders in our families. Trust me, Audrey. Once Lily gives birth to her baby, I'll divorce her and marry you right away."
That's when I shove Edward off me forcefully. Then, I roughly dab a piece of wet tissue over the patch of skin Edward's lips have touched.
Scott Miller, my CEO husband, is extremely domineering and possessive. It's only thanks to him being on a business trip these few days that Edward has the chance to get close to me.
If Scott were to find out about the truth, neither Edward, Lily, nor their unborn child can think about surviving at all!
