"Your tuition fees, your mother's medical expenses, I've covered them all. I have only one request for you - marry me!" At her most difficult moment, in the entire Jiangbin City...
"Your tuition fees, your mother's medical expenses, I've covered them all. I have only one request for you - marry me!" At her most difficult moment, in the entire Jiangbin City...
In a four-story luxury villa in the outskirts of J City, Agatha's fingers flew across the keyboard as she sent out dozens of resumes.
It was time for her to find a proper job; she couldn't continue living off Adolf's support forever.
"Beep beep beep." The phone on the table vibrated at that moment.
Excited voice came through from the other end of the line, "Agatha! I think I just saw Adolf's legitimate fiancée! Do you remember the photo Adolf showed you when he asked you to pretend to be his fiancée? It's that woman! She looks almost exactly like you!"
Suddenly, Agatha's grip on the phone stiffened, her eyebrows furrowing slightly. Was her true identity about to be exposed?
"Hello? Agatha? Can you hear me?!" Seeing no response from the other end, Agatha's friend, Agnes, shouted.
At the mention of Adolf, a figure naturally emerged in Agatha's mind.
In her memory, that man always liked to wear a black handmade suit, paired with a light gray shirt with a loose collar and a tie, with a Patek Philippe watch on his wrist.
When he came to her school to find her, he was sitting in the back seat of a luxury Rolls-Royce, the window half rolled down, revealing his sharply defined profile. Even so, it was enough to make a group of female college students scream in excitement.
So after she and Adolf got married, she would always politely refuse when he offered to drive her back to school. She was afraid of attracting unwanted attention, especially since she was only a sophomore at that time.
In the blink of an eye, three years had passed.
During these three years, although Agatha and Adolf hadn't reached deep affection, they still treated each other with respect. He never touched her, only occasionally returning to this suburban villa to sleep in separate beds.
But it seemed...
Agatha calculated the time and realized that she hadn't seen this man for over three months.
"Agatha, if you've developed real feelings for Adolf while pretending to be his fiancée, I advise you to take this man down quickly. Otherwise, when his legitimate wife returns, you'll be left with nothing!"
"..."
Agatha didn't hear what Agnes said next. In fact, she wasn't even sure when she had hung up the phone. She squeezed the phone in her hand tightly, feeling a chill creeping up her chest.
For several hours, Agatha's mind was blank until Adolf's call came through. Agatha's hand trembled as she answered the phone.
"Uh, hello, is, is something wrong?" Even though it had been three months, even this man's call made Agatha feel unfamiliar.
She tried to steady her breathing, but her thoughts inadvertently drifted to what Agnes had said, making her voice sound somewhat anxious.
Did Adolf call her because he had received news about that woman too?
"My mom called just now, asking me to bring you home for dinner tonight."
At that moment, Adolf had just finished a transnational international conference. He was sitting in the 19th-floor office of the top building of the Jin Corporation, holding the phone in his left hand, while his right hand's fingertip was poised at the bottom of a document, ready to sign.
Agatha couldn't help but be distracted by his husky and low voice. However, to her surprise, Adolf's actions had nothing to do with that woman.
Instead, he wanted to take her home again. By home, Adolf meant the Jin family mansion...
Almost every month, Adolf would take her home, as if it were a routine, always mindful to show her presence to his parents.
But Agatha hadn't forgotten that she was an impostor after all.
"Adolf, can I refuse? You know, I'm afraid I'll slip up in front of them, and if I'm found out..." A hint of sadness flashed through Agatha's eyebrows. How heartbroken Adolf's charitable parents would be...
"It's okay, I'll handle it. Get ready, I'll pick you up after five in the afternoon." Adolf put down the pen in his hand, leaned forward to pick up the porcelain cup on the table, took a sip, only then did he realize that the tea in the cup had already cooled.
He frowned slightly, pressed the pager, and soon someone knocked on the door and entered, replacing his cup with a new one.
"But..." Agatha was still hesitating. Should she tell Adolf that the woman Agnes mentioned might be Adolf's true fiancée, his legitimate wife?
"What? Do you have any other questions?" Adolf's calm voice entered Agatha's ears.
"No... no, that's it." Somehow, Agatha swallowed back the words she had intended to say.
Her mother's condition had not truly improved, she needed the money Adolf provided. For now, she would bury this matter in her heart and tell Adolf when the time was right.
"Okay."
With that deep voice, Adolf hung up the phone first.
I was four months pregnant, a photographer excited for our future, attending a sophisticated baby brunch. Then I saw him, my husband Michael, with another woman, and a newborn introduced as "his son." My world shattered as a torrent of betrayal washed over me, magnified by Michael's dismissive claim I was "just being emotional." His mistress, Serena, taunted me, revealing Michael had discussed my pregnancy complications with her, then slapped me, causing a terrifying cramp. Michael sided with her, publicly shaming me, demanding I leave "their" party, as a society blog already paraded them as a "picture-perfect family." He fully expected me to return, to accept his double life, telling his friends I was "dramatic" but would "always come back." The audacity, the calculated cruelty of his deception, and Serena's chilling malice, fueled a cold, hard rage I barely recognized. How could I have been so blind, so trusting of the man who gaslighted me for months while building a second family? But on the plush carpet of that lawyer's office, as he turned his back on me, a new, unbreakable resolve solidified. They thought I was broken, disposable, easily manipulated – a "reasonable" wife who would accept a sham separation. They had no idea my calm acceptance was not surrender; it was strategy, a quiet promise to dismantle everything he held dear. I would not be handled; I would not understand; I would end this, and make sure their perfect family charade crumbled into dust.

Life was perfect until she met her boyfriend's big brother. There was a forbidden law in the Night Shade Pack that if the head Alpha rejected his mate, he would be stripped of his position.

Everyone was shocked to the bones when the news of Rupert Benton's engagement broke out. It was surprising because the lucky girl was said to be a plain Jane, who grew up in the countryside and had nothing to her name. One evening, she showed up at a banquet, stunning everyone present. "Wow, she's so beautiful!" All the men drooled, and the women got so jealous. What they didn't know was that this so-called country girl was actually an heiress to a billion-dollar empire. It wasn't long before her secrets came to light one after the other. The elites couldn't stop talking about her. "Holy smokes! So, her father is the richest man in the world?" "She's also that excellent, but mysterious designer who many people adore! Who would have guessed?" Nonetheless, people thought that Rupert didn't love her. But they were in for another surprise. Rupert released a statement, silencing all the naysayers. "I'm very much in love with my beautiful fiancee. We will be getting married soon." Two questions were on everyone's minds: "Why did she hide her identity? And why was Rupert in love with her all of a sudden?"
