Just after I had killed the money tree of Jin Yuncheng's company, my dad planned to ally with him and arrange a marriage for us. I just didn't expect that everything was part of Jin Yuncheng's long-standing scheme...
Just after I had killed the money tree of Jin Yuncheng's company, my dad planned to ally with him and arrange a marriage for us. I just didn't expect that everything was part of Jin Yuncheng's long-standing scheme...
For years, my rival and I clashed relentlessly. Our feud burned like wildfire.
Every day brought a new battle in our cutthroat business war.
He stole my clients. I sabotaged his prized money tree.
But when he caught me red-handed, his secretary chased me down three streets.
Later, he admitted he didn't want to stay rivals. He feared if we kept fighting, someone else might sweep me off my feet.
My face flushed with anger as I snapped, "Wesley, are you out of your mind?"

At a bar, while flirting with a good-looking guy, I accidentally bumped into my infuriating fiancé.
In a clumsy move, I spilled my drink on his suit.
Worse, it landed in an awkward spot.
He adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and shot me a glance. "In such a rush?"
My blood boiled.
This smug old man always ruined my fun.
I wanted to bolt, but he grabbed my wrist. "Leaving without replacing my pants?"
"Are you scamming me?" I glared at him.
"Want to check where your drink landed?"
I didn't dare look. I yanked my hand free and muttered, "Fine, I'll pay you."
The cute guy was waiting, and I needed to ditch this jerk fast.
"I don't want your money," he said with a sly smile.
That suited me fine. My dad had cut off my card, and I was broke.
"Get me a custom suit. Deliver it to my place."
I groaned silently.
Left the house without checking my horoscope and ran into Wesley at a bar.
Wasn't he supposed to be all monk-like?
A thirty-year-old man still partying at midnight? He sure knew how to stir things up.
I mumbled a quick "fine" and made my escape.
My dad claimed Wesley was a success, worth billions.
Our families' merger would be a win for everyone.
I rolled my eyes.
Wesley and I had been at each other's throats for years. Our companies waged daily warfare.
He snatched my clients. I hijacked his resources.
After years of this, my dad wanted us to tie the knot.
I shook my head in disbelief.
After shaking off Wesley, I returned to the couch to drink and play games with my best friend.
The cute guy I'd been chatting up slid closer. "So, do you have a boyfriend?"
My bestie Kayla winked at me, urging me to seize the moment.
Before I could answer, a voice cut in. "She does."
Wesley plopped down across from me, his eyes flicking over me with intent.
He was back again.
The guy looked confused. "Who's he?"
Before I could speak, Kayla's boyfriend shouted, "Mr. Harding? You're here too?"
Wesley leaned back. "I'm here to take my fiancée home."
Kayla and her boyfriend turned to me in unison.
I hadn't told anyone about my engagement to Wesley. I planned to sabotage it quietly, but fate had other ideas.
"Penelope, what's going on? Spill it," Kayla nudged me with a grin.
"Don't know him," I said bluntly, sipping my drink.
Wesley smirked. "Do you know my size? Should I send them to you?"
What the hell?
I nearly choked.
The others around us gaped, stunned.
My face burned as I shouted, "Wesley, are you insane?"
"I meant for the suit," he said slowly, a hint of amusement in his voice.
"I know that! I'll replace it!" My cheeks grew hotter. I stood up. "I need the restroom."
That damn Wesley ruined my chances again.
I fumed but felt powerless.
I lingered in the restroom, then texted Kayla that I was leaving early.
"It's late. Let me drive you home." Wesley followed me out, his voice calm behind me.
"After seven blind years with Joshua, Daniela caught him pampering his new flame just weeks before the vows. Disgust sharpened her resolve. On their wedding morning she strode down the aisle, tore off her ring, and called it quits. The arrogant Clark family rushed to sneer-until three formidable Stewart brothers stepped in. The eldest's voice was ice. ""Your empire is about to implode."" The second vowed ruin for anyone who dared bruise his sister. The youngest flashed a sly grin. ""Watch and learn what true power looks like."" The Clarks were left regretting their actions, while Daniela melted into her arch nemesis's arms. ""Take me home, hon."
"I will marry you. Wait for me!" Mabel woke up. She had that dream again. In her dream, a man said he would marry her. Just a dream. Five years ago, she was set up by her stepsister and became pregnant out of wedlock. She lost everything, including her baby. Five years later, she was forced to marry her stepsister's fiance, Jayden, who was sick and going to pass away.

It took only a second for a person's world to come crashing down. This was what happened in Hannah's case. For four years, she gave her husband her all, but one day, he said emotionlessly, "Let's get divorced." Hannah's heart broke into a million pieces as she signed the divorce papers, marking the end of her role as a devoted wife. Within Hannah, a strong woman awakened, vowing never to be beholden to any man again. Embracing her new life, she embarked on a journey to find herself and command her own destiny. By the time she returned, she had experienced so much growth and was now completely different from the docile wife everyone once knew. "Is this your latest trick to get my attention?" Hannah's ever-so-arrogant husband asked. Before she could retort, a handsome and domineering CEO pulled her into his embrace. He smiled down at her and said boldly to her ex, "Just a little heads-up, mister. This is my beloved wife. Keep off!"
Looking at the divorce papers my lips curled up into a mocking smile. 'How big fool I am? How can I think that he will give a chance to this marriage? How can I forget that I was nothing more a tool in his eyes to vent his anger until his beloved Tara is back. Since, she was back, how can he let me stay there?' "After you will sign these papers, you will receive 100 million dollars as alimony." the lawyer added. Because of his words, I came back to my senses took the pen from him, and signed the name. I have also gotten exhausted from this marriage both physically and mentally. Even though I had wanted my child to be born into a complete family, I didn't want my child to have a stepmother and live miserably like me for the rest of his life. After taking the papers from my hand, the lawyer gave me the bank card, turned around, and was about to leave when he paused at the door. He then turned around and added, "Mr. Carter said that he hoped that you won't pester him, or you have to bear the consequences." The lawyer's words were like a knife stabbing in my heart, but I still nodded. Anyway, I also don't plan to have anything to do with him anymore. I just want to live a good life with my children. After the lawyer left, the ward fell into silence. I placed my hand on my belly and said to my children, "Baby, I am sorry, Mommy can't give you a complete family! But I promise you, I will do my best to give the love of both mother and father." 'As for giving one of my child, I will never do that. They are my babies and my alone. I and I will give birth to all of them and raise them no matter what.' Four Years Later... Anya came back to the country with her three kids, to inherit the company left by his grandfather...
