Chapter 1
Among the crowded guests, my fiancé took away my bouquet.
He knelt down on one knee to propose to my sister, and she was moved and agreed.
The wedding had a last–minute change of bride, and I became the laughingstock of everyone afterwards.
The wealthiest heir in Maplevale, Jared Lewey, however, at this moment, made a high–profile a marriage proposal to me.
After marriage, Jared doted on me a lot, and I once again gave my heart wholeheartedly.
On the day of my birthday banquet, I got drunk and pretended to sleep in Jared’s arms.
When people discussed how much one could love another person.
I heard Jared say, “I married the most detested sister of my beloved, just to clear obstacles for her.”
Every word fell into my ears, sounding like thunder.
I nestled in the closest place to his heart and listened to him speak of his love for my sister.
I felt my whole body’s blood coagulate, as if falling into an ice cave.
The private room fell silent for a moment, then erupted into a roaring cheer.
“Jared is truly remarkable! He was able to endure sharing a bed with someone he didn’t love, all for the sake of an unattainable love.”
“Jared was such a romantic, silently loving Tatiana for so many years, even at the expense of his own marriage.”
Jared spoke in a low and gentle tone, “I was willing to do anything as long as Tatiana could be happy.”
His friend teased, “I heard Tatiana and Mike Soderberg are getting a divorce. Won’t you be able to reconnect with her soon? When are you planning to make a move, you sly one?”
Jared fell silent for a moment and said lightly, “Raquel couldn’t leave me. Let’s take our time with this matter.”
“Don’t say too much in front of her either. I don’t want to argue with her.”
Everyone echoed in agreement, and no one dared to refuse Jared.
Someone joked under the influence of alcohol, “But Mr. Lewey doesn’t lose too much either. To sleep with a celebrity must be very good.”
Jared chuckled and absentmindedly flicked my earlobe with his finger. “It’s really good.”
I clenched my teeth tightly and held back my tears.
I thought Jared was the only redemption in the abyss of despair.
I didn’t expect him to be the knife that cut the rope.
A seven–year marriage had now become a joke.
Mike and Jared were both the same.
They both loved Tatiana Bryd.
No one loved me.
The banquet ended, and Jared personally carried me into the car.
He instructed the driver in a low voice, “Raquel is asleep. Drive steadily.”
Jared still acted careful and considerate. Even when I was asleep, he would lower his head and gently rub against me my ear.
I half lay in his arms, memories constantly playing in my mind like a movie.
Back then, my childhood sweetheart Mike, whom I had admired since I was young, suddenly called off the wedding at the ceremony.
Overnight, I became the laughingstock of all the people in Maplevale.
Just then, Jared came to me with a marriage proposal.

He said that he had just inherited the company and needed a stable and compatible marriage to help him establish himself in the group.
At that time, I was disillusioned with love, so without much hesitation, I decided to enter into a marriage agreement with him.
He gave me a grand wedding that caused a sensation in Maplevale, and fireworks lit up the entire Vector Harbor all night long.
I, who had originally decided to forever lock away my love, gradually became moved by his unwavering affection over the course of seven years, and opened up my heart to him.
Now I thought that he offered me poison rather than candy.
It would kill me.
“Jared.”
I made my eyes hazy, pretending that I had just woken up.
Jared immediately helped me adjust to the most comfortable position, allowing me to lean on his shoulder.
“Honey, did you feel uncomfortable after drinking so much alcohol? When we get home, I’ll bring honey water to you.”
I hugged his arm and coquettishly said in a soft voice, “Because I’m so happy.”
I was using my usual sweet and cloying voice.
Acting was easy. He played for seven years as an outsider, let alone me, a professionally trained actress.
Jared liked this. He lightly kissed my forehead, saying, “I have a new project to work on recently, so I may not be able to visit often. Take care of yourself
on the set.”
“I would order meals on time and have them delivered to the crew, making sure your assistant supervises that you finish them all… If you misbehave… watch how I punish you…”
Jared lightly squeezed my waist with his hand.
I resisted the urge to vomit and twisted my body to avoid it.
“Stop it! It’s itchy…”
