Chapter 1

I walked out of the hospital in a daze, then pulled out my phone and made a call."Clara, when you said you'd marry me, did you mean it?"Her voice came through the line, cynical as ever. "Justin, what do you take me for? Your backup plan?""If you won't do it, I'll ask someone else.""I'll do it!"Clara Sutton bit out through gritted teeth, "Justin, you're the one who said you'd marry me, so don't you dare go back on your word!""It's a deal."After we settled on the wedding date, I hung up and returned to the wedding venue.I apologized to all the family and friends who had come that day and informed everyone that the wedding had been postponed for a month.Once I had everyone settled, I dragged my exhausted body home.I had barely sat down when I heard movement at the door.Rowena Lane walked in and looked at me with guilt written all over her face. "Justin, I'm sorry, but there really was an emergency today."A bitter smile tugged at my lips. "An emergency? What could'v

I let out a mocking laugh.So that was the urgent matter Rowena absolutely had to handle?I grabbed a chair and smashed it against the wall, shattering our wedding photo. Then, I called in the cleaners and had them throw out everything in the room that had anything to do with Rowena.The next morning, I got up, washed up, and went to work.I could allow myself to be heartbroken, but I would never allow myself to fall apart.Maybe I had really been cursed with bad luck lately. On the way to work, a car made an illegal cut into my lane and hit me, injuring my leg.I was taken to a nearby hospital for medical attention.By sheer coincidence, I ran into Rowena just as she was coming downstairs with Adrian on her arm.The moment our eyes met, Rowena withdrew her hand from him and hurried over anxiously. "Justin, what happened to you?"I kept my expression flat. "It's nothing serious. I hurt my leg in a minor accident."She immediately revolved around me, rushing off to stand in li

After taking two days to rest at home and let my leg heal, I went back to work as usual.What I didn't expect was that when I got home from work, I would find Adrian standing in my house, holding the baby.The moment he saw me, a smug smile spread across his face. "Mr. Ford, you're back. Rowena was worried I wouldn't be able to take care of Theo properly after being discharged from the hospital, so she brought us here."My eyes locked onto the pajamas he was wearing, and I clenched my jaw. "Take that off. Who said you could touch my clothes?"Adrian set Theo down to the side and walked toward me, the smile on his face growing even wider. "Rowena did. And it won't stop at your clothes. I'm going to take everything you have!"The second he finished speaking, he swung a fist at my face.I immediately raised my hand and retaliated, but he flew backward from the force of my punch."Mr. Ford, I didn't mean to wear your clothes," he said, raising his voice. "Please don't be mad. I'll g

At Theo's one-month milestone party, Rowena's best friends crowded around her and teased, "Rowena, you certainly kept us in the dark! We thought you and Justin were endgame, but who knew you'd secretly end up with your childhood friend instead?"But honestly, don't you think it's a waste to dump Justin? No matter how you look at it, he's leagues ahead of your childhood friend."Upon hearing that, Rowena instinctively frowned. "What are you talking about? Who said Adrian and I are together? And who said I dumped Justin?"Everyone looked confused. "Didn't you say it yourself? That you were the mother?""I've always treated Adrian like a younger brother," Rowena quickly explained. "The baby lost his mother the moment he was born. I became his godmother so he wouldn't grow up being bullied.""You should've told us that sooner, Rowena. With the way you set all this up, we thought this was your biological son!""And where's Justin, anyway? We haven't seen him at all. Don't tell me he's

Even I hadn't expected that in just one month, Clara would be able to put together such a lavish wedding.Fresh pink roses decorated the venue, and the entire hall carried their soft floral scent. Massive crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, scattering light across the room in shimmering layers.Clara, dressed in a pure white wedding gown, sat at the piano and opened the ceremony with "Mariage d'Amour".I had to admit, this was exactly the kind of wedding I had always imagined.After finishing the piece, Clara slowly walked up to me and extended her left hand with a flourish. My heart tightened with nerves as I placed my right hand in hers.Our fingers intertwined, and she slowly led me toward the center of the stage.Her voice was steady as she looked at me and said, "This time, you're the one who willingly placed your hand in mine. You don't get to regret it later."I met her gaze, the corners of my lips lifting, and repeated the same words I had once said three years ag

The moment I met Clara's eyes, heat rushed straight to my face. I immediately propped myself up in bed. "That won't be necessary. I still have enough energy to eat on my own."The handmade pasta was perfectly chewy, coated in a rich sauce that tasted so good that it felt like my tongue might melt from the flavor.Clara watched me with a gaze that was filled with indulgence. She even reached over to ruffle my hair. "Slow down. No one's going to steal it from you."Once I finished the plate of pasta, the look in her eyes had shifted, turning distinctly more suggestive."Are you done eating?" she asked. "Then I guess we can finally get down to business."Coming from her at this hour, the words made my heart pound frantically against my ribs. But I also knew that if I kept avoiding it or trying to stall, I would just be playing coy.And so, I stood up with the air of someone marching off to battle. "Wait here. I'm going to shower."Clara's smile deepened. "Alright. I'll be waiting."

I rolled my eyes and said, "Then I'm really sorry to disappoint you, but I only saved you because I'm a decent person. Besides, I already have a girlfriend. I definitely don't have a crush on you."At the time, Rowena and I had already been together for two years, and our relationship was steady.There was no way I could've had a crush on a rich lady like Clara, someone so cynical and so used to treating life like a game.But from that day on, Clara kept showing up in front of me with all kinds of gifts, from the latest iPhone to huge bouquets, and even concert tickets.In an instant, I became one of the most talked-about people on campus. Everywhere I went, people were gossiping about me.In the end, I couldn't take it anymore and snapped, "Clara, what exactly are you up to? I saved you, and I've already accepted your thank-you money. What you're doing now is seriously bothering me!"Clara still had that same careless smile on her face. "You really can't tell? I'm pursuing you."

Chapter 8

Rowena had a huge banner made and set herself up outside Clara's company, declaring that Clara was a homewrecker who used her power and wealth to steal another woman's fiance.That stunt quickly awakened the internet's "eat the rich" crowd."I can't stand these trust-fund brats. They think being born into money makes them better than everyone else.""Dirty money, every cent of it! If we all stop buying from them, they'll be bankrupt by morning!""Being a homewrecker is unforgivable! Boycott Sutton Group!All of Clara's companies were hit by a boycott, and their stock prices plunged right along with it. Because of that, we had no choice but to cut our honeymoon short and return to deal with Rowena.When I arrived, Rowena was still there, standing outside Sutton Group, clutching that banner and making a spectacle of herself.The second she saw me get out of the car, her eyes lit up, and she came running toward me.Clara moved to stop her, but I caught her by the arm and said, "Le
