The CEO’s Wife Was Never Just a Substitute
Lizzie Lee married Nathan Hall, and there were rumors he had a woman he loved deeply for years.
He had been the one to hold Lizzie’s hand and take her to city hall to file their marriage license, and he was the one who told her his old flame meant nothing to him anymore.
After three years of marriage, she thought that as long as she stayed gentle and compliant, she could warm his heart.
Until that day, for the sake of his old flame, Nathan robbed her father of his last chance to survive and even brought his mistress to his father’s funeral.
Lizzie looked at him and said, “I’m done. I want a divorce.”
After the divorce, everyone waited to see her become a joke.
But not long after, she was revealed to be the internationally renowned painter “Rose,” the long-lost daughter of a powerful family, and the lead on a major national art project.
Her talent was undeniable, and she gradually became a star he could never reach.
The man who once couldn’t even be bothered to look at her knelt in regret. “Liz, I was wrong. Come back, alright? I’ll treat you and your child well.”
Yet another arm wrapped around Lizzie’s slender waist, drawing her in as he brushed a kiss against her flushed ear, his voice low with quiet possession. “Who else could be worthy of you but me?”
