Melanie had been in a secret relationship with her best friend's brother, Ethan, for five years, and finally, he agreed to make it public. Her best friend excitedly called to confirm, "Melanie, I can't believe my brother's sweetheart is you..." Just as she was about to nod, she heard her friend say, "Half-sister? I thought he would like you." That single sentence hit Melanie like a ton of bricks. In a frenzy, she rushed to the company to confront Ethan for clarification. Unexpectedly, she overheard him confessing his deep feelings to his half-sister. "Rosalyn, you're the only one I love," he declared. "Marrying her was just to protect you. Keeping her nearby ensures she won't dig into her mother's accident and won't harm you!" Upon discovering the truth, Melanie decided to accept the marriage to turn the tables on him. However, after obtaining the marriage certificate, she realized she might have married the wrong person... Before she could regret it, Ethan's rival, swept her into his arms. "You think you can just up and leave after tying the knot?"

Chapter 1

"Melanie, huge gossip! My iceberg CEO brother actually has someone he likes now!"

Melanie Gilbert had just secured a billion-dollar deal when she received the call from her best friend Leyla Dawson.

Hearing this, her heart skipped a beat.

Because the heroine her best friend was talking about was none other than herself, who had been secretly dating Ethan Dawson for five years.

Ethan had said that once she closed this deal, he would give her a surprise.

At this thought, a smile curved Melanie's lips. "He told you already?"

"No way! That girl graduated today, and my brother traveled all the way just to attend her graduation ceremony. My brother, who barely posts on social media once every eight hundred years, actually shared a photo of them together and sweetly called her 'little princess.' Tsk tsk tsk, so cheesy..."

Melanie felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her voice trembled. "You... you must have... seen it wrong..."

She opened Ethan's social media feed. There was nothing.

"How is that possible? My brother specially called me over just to take photos of them! Don't believe me? Look!"

The moment Melanie saw the photo, her blood seemed to freeze.

The man who had spent the night wrapped around her just yesterday was now tenderly holding another girl in his arms.

The girl was smiling radiantly. It was her own stepsister - Rosalyn Burgess!

"Melanie, you have no idea how devoted my brother has been these five years. He flew to Pariion every few days..." Leyla kept chattering on, but Melanie could no longer hear a single word.

She instinctively denied it.

She refused to believe that five years of feelings had been nothing but a scam of affection!

Melanie ran back to the company like a madwoman. She knew Ethan had already returned.

She needed answers!

But just as she reached the office door, she heard ambiguous voices coming from inside.

"Ethan, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have pretended with my sister all these years either. But back then... my sister's mother's car accident... I really... didn't do it on purpose."

A buzzing sound filled Melanie's head. Her mind went completely blank.

She stood frozen in disbelief. Her mother's death hadn't been an accident?

Ethan's voice continued.

"It wasn't your fault. Besides, these past five years, Melanie's life has been smooth sailing. Meanwhile, you suffered so much abroad."

Hearing this, Melanie covered her mouth in disbelief. Tears fell heavily.

When her mother passed away, she had been devastated. It was Ethan who had stayed by her side and handled all the arrangements.

Back then, he had promised he would protect her in her mother's place.

Melanie had believed him.

For so many years, she had never once doubted his sincerity.

But now her entire world was collapsing!

"But Ethan... are you really... going to marry my sister? Have you actually fallen in love with her?"

Melanie's heart lifted nervously.

"Silly girl, of course not. Marrying her is only to protect you. Only by keeping her right under my watch can I make sure she never looks into what happened back then. So she will never hurt you!"

In an instant, Melanie's heart plummeted and shattered.

"It's just that you'll have to suffer a bit, staying with me without any title or status." Ethan gently smoothed Rosalyn's hair with heartache in his voice.

"It's okay. As long as I can be with you, I'm willing to endure anything." With that, Rosalyn's red lips pressed against the man's throat.

Ethan let out a low groan. Desire flashed in his eyes as he pulled her tightly into his arms.

Soon after, the man's ragged breathing mixed with the woman's broken moans drifted out.

Melanie clenched her fists until the pain of her nails digging into her palms finally brought back a shred of clarity.

She stumbled away. When she reached a place with no one around, she finally collapsed and sobbed uncontrollably.

The love she had always believed in had turned out to be nothing but a cruel deception.

The man she loved deeply was also an accomplice in her mother's death.

Melanie felt as though an invisible hand was crushing her heart, the pain making it hard to breathe.

After an unknown amount of time, she finally calmed down.

She could not let her mother die in vain!

She had to make these two pay!

With trembling hands, Melanie took out her phone and dialed a long-unused number. "I agree to the marriage alliance with the Fuller family!"

The man on the other end sounded surprised. "You've finally come around?"

Melanie knew her father Darin Burgess only saw her as a tool for marriage alliance.

She didn't care. She only needed someone who could help her take revenge! "But I want fifty percent of the Burgess Group shares!"

Darin rejected without hesitation. "Impossible."

Melanie gave a cold laugh. "Fine then. Let your precious illegitimate daughter marry instead."

Her father exploded in anger. "Melanie, have you lost your mind? I'm doing this for your own good, and you dare threaten me?"

Melanie sneered coldly. "For my own good? Everyone knows the Fuller heir is sickly, violent, and all three of his previous wives died under mysterious circumstances! Darin, don't think I don't know the Burgess Group is on the verge of bankruptcy. You desperately need the Fuller family's capital injection. You're rushing me into this marriage just to please the Fullers, aren't you?"

The breathing on the other end hitched. After a long silence, he reluctantly spoke. "Fine. I agree. But you must marry the Fuller heir within one month!"

Soon after, her father arranged a meeting between them.

The next day, Melanie arrived at the location on time.

As soon as she entered the private room, she met the deep, intense gaze of the man seated at the head of the table.

Melanie secretly marveled. The Fuller heir actually had an extremely handsome face. No wonder despite his terrible reputation, there were still flocks of girls throwing themselves at him.

Since she had already agreed to the marriage, Melanie didn't want to waste words. She went straight to the point. "When do you plan to get married?"

"What?" The man looked momentarily stunned.

Melanie frowned. His reaction suggested he had no intention of marrying?

The man studied her up and down, then suddenly smiled, his tone teasing. "Melanie Gilbert? Ethan Dawson's chief secretary."

He raised an eyebrow. "You want to marry me? But I heard your relationship with Ethan Dawson is... quite special."

Melanie was a little surprised that he knew about her and Ethan.

She gritted her teeth and finally nodded in admission. "Yes. We did have a secret relationship before. But we've already broken up..."

Melanie simply confessed everything.

After she finished, Mathew Fuller raised an eyebrow. "So you want to marry me just so I can help you get revenge?"

Melanie nodded.

Mathew's fingers tapped idly on the table.

For some reason, a faint smile curved his lips.

Remembering his unpredictable temperament, Melanie suddenly felt a trace of regret for being so straightforward.

Just as she grew nervous and uneasy, the man abruptly stood up and walked toward the door.

Instinctively, Melanie called out to him. "Mr. Fuller, where are you going?"

Mathew turned back, flashing a roguish grin. "Didn't you want to get married? We're going to get the certificate now."

Melanie froze.

Mathew glanced at his watch and kindly reminded her. "The registry office closes in half an hour. If we leave now, we can still make it. Miss Gilbert, are you having second thoughts?"

"Let's get married," Mia declares, her voice trembling despite her defiant gaze into Stefan's guarded brown eyes. She needs this, even if he seems untouchable. Stefan raises a skeptical brow. "And why would I do that?" His voice was low, like a warning, and it made her shiver even though she tried not to show it. "We both have one thing in common," Mia continues, her gaze unwavering. "Shitty fathers. They want to take what's ours and give it to who they think deserves it." A pointed pause hangs in the air. "The only difference between us is that you're an illegitimate child, and I'm not." Stefan studies her, the heiress in her designer armor, the fire in her eyes that matches the burn of his own rage. "That's your solution? A wedding band as a weapon?" He said ignoring the part where she just referred to him as an illegitimate child. "The only weapon they won't see coming." She steps closer, close enough for him to catch the scent of her perfume, gunpowder and jasmine. "Our fathers stole our birthrights. The sole reason they betrayed us. We join forces, create our own empire that'll bring down theirs." A beat of silence. Then, Stefan's mouth curves into something sharp. "One condition," he murmurs, closing the distance. "No divorces.
