Chapter 1 The Sensational Wedding (Part One)

It was February 14th.

An unprecedentedly grand wedding would be held in the Phoenix Mansion. Zoe Jimo, the daughter of the Jimo Group's chairman, was getting married.

The Jimo Group was a world-famous company. With her status in life, Zoe Jimo should have been a renowned celebrity. But her father never let her show up in public. She was not introduced to the business world. Because of this, the outside world was very curious about her.

But today, everyone could finally see her mysterious face. They all wondered how beautiful and unworldly she could be.

Almost all media was there to witness and feature the wedding ceremony. While they were waiting, a white landaulet pulled over in front of them. Many reporters lurking outside the Phoenix Mansion grabbed the opportunity to quickly take photos of this scene.

The couple had finally arrived.

As soon as the eye-catching car stopped, a large group of reporters rushed over. Even the well-trained security guards were not able to stop them.

At this time, the bridegroom, Harry Ji, got out of the car and opened the door to the bride's side. He bent over and said in a gentle voice, "Zoe, get out of the car, please."

Zoe Jimo stared blankly at Harry Ji's hand before she timidly accepted it. She then got out of the car, being supported by him.

Since it was the first that they would see her face, all the reporters waited for her appearance unblinkingly.

And they were wonderstruck to see Zoe Jimo, who was around 1.66 meters tall, wearing a snow-white laced wedding dress embellished with pearls. It must be very expensive. She had a standard oval face with big round eyes, pointed nose, and thin lips. The dimples on her cheeks added to her charm. As she was approaching the crowd with Harry Ji, there was a trace of fear in her eyes, making her look like an innocent child.

The reporters hurriedly took photos of the couples as if they didn't want to miss anything. But the flashes of their cameras frightened Zoe Jimo. She was on the verge of tears as she grasped on Harry Ji's tuxedo tightly. She then said in a low voice, "Harry, what is this? They look so horrible. I'm scared."

Harry Ji, who had always been gentle to her, comforted her in a low voice. He then turned to the crowd with an embarrassed smile and said, "Please stop taking photos of her. My wife is a bit shy."

Harry Ji thought that he could make the reporters believe that Zoe Jimo was only shy. But the reporters didn't think it that way. Seeing the reaction on her face, they had the impression that Zoe Jimo was no different from an idiot child.

No wonder her father hid her all this time. It turned out she was an ignorant woman.

This breaking news was more interesting than her grand wedding.

"If you have any questions to ask, you can ask me after the wedding ceremony. I will answer everything." Knowing that the reporters wouldn't spare Zoe Jimo, Harry Ji had to sacrifice a part of his privacy to protect her from being the target of the news.

"Thank you, Mr. Ji." The reporters held on to his words, so they all stepped back and stopped pestering Zoe Jimo.

Harry Ji breathed a sigh of relief when he was finally able to stop the reporters from bothering her. They reached the wedding hall in peace.

On the stage, the emcee was already giving her opening remarks. Harry Ji lowered his head and whispered, "Zoe, do you already know what to do later? Just be obedient and cooperate with me, okay?"

"Will you give me candies if I obey you?" Zoe Jimo asked innocently.

Afraid that the guests would overhear them, Harry Ji nodded awkwardly. "Yes, of course. As long as you listen to me, you will have a reward later."

Harry Ji deliberately made the wedding ceremony simple because he was afraid that Zoe Jimo would make a mistake. He was also scared that she would embarrass him in public, especially when people found out that she was a chucklehead.

The emcee quickly called out James Jimo. "Let's all welcome on stage the chairman of Jimo Group to give us a toast."

With the cheerful applause from the crowd, James Jimo walked up the stage and took the microphone. He looked at the couple and said with a smile, "Hello, everyone. I'm James Jimo. Actually, I've prepared thousands of words for my daughter's wedding. But at this moment, I just want to wish her to be happy. I've decided that after this wedding, the Jimo Group will be fully handed over to my son-in-law, Harry Ji. He would be responsible for everything in the company, and I hope that you will also give him your full support. Thank you."

Zoe Jimo didn't understand the weight of her father's words. She just smiled innocently despite the people's uproar below the stage.

Everyone was in disbelief. They didn't expect that James Jimo would just leave such a big company in the hands of his new son-in-law so easily.

James Jimo didn't seem to mind people's reaction. After his announcement, he gently took his daughter's small hand and handed it to Harry Ji. He then said seriously, "Promise me that you will make her happy for the rest of her life."

"I will, Dad," Harry Ji answered sincerely while holding her hand. But in his heart, he was more excited that James Jimo had given him the company.

Finally, the Jimo Group was now under his control.

Looking at his calm face, James Jimo didn't even notice the hatred that suddenly flashed through Harry Ji's eyes. Since he really believed that Harry Ji would take care of his daughter, he nodded with relief.

The emcee then said, "Now that everything is settled, we would like to request a kiss from the new couple as their wedding gift to the public."

It was followed by the crowd's chant. "Kiss! Kiss!"

Zoe Jimo didn't know what to do. She just stood there at a loss. Harry Ji gave in to the crowd's request and kissed her red lips.

As soon as the crowd cheered, Zoe Jimo ran down the stage shyly. Harry Ji then ran after her with a smile.

Seeing that the new couple looked so happy, James Jimo smiled. He took the microphone from the emcee and announced the end of the wedding ceremony. "Everyone, please pick up your glass and have a toast with me again. Let's wish the new couple a happy married life. I also wish each of us a happy life.

The lines of code glowed, green and satisfying. It was almost 11 PM, and I, Sarah, a data analyst by trade and a numbers person by nature, was finally done for the day. Then, a trending video popped up. My face, my building, and a headline: "Dedicated Employee or Work-Life Imbalance?" My stomach clenched. Comments flooded in, a digital deluge of pity and objectification. "Wow, she looks so plain." "Probably single. A guy could just walk up to her and she'd probably be grateful." It was disgusting. I felt watched, assessed, categorized by strangers. Unsafe. My brothers were on their way, a familiar comfort. But then, he walked in. Chad. A self-proclaimed "Good Samaritan" challenge participant, selfie stick in hand, beaming that too-perfect smile. He wanted me to be his content. I refused, but he ignored it, flicking my nose with a condescending playfulness. "A pretty girl like you shouldn't be frowning." Rage exploded inside me. I stood, demandmg he leave. With a dramatic sigh, he walked away, still filming. My phone, my lifeline, flickered and died. Just as relief washed over me, the glass doors slid open again. Chad was back. And he had a huge bouquet of roses. A sickly-sweet smell. Dizziness. He was trying to drug me. I fought, screamed, and pepper-sprayed him. But the sedative was working. I collapsed, only to see him standing there again when the elevator doors chimed open. He'd circled back. Then the security guard, Tom, appeared. Chad, with chilling precision, recited my personal details, painting me as a dramatic girlfriend in a "lover's quarrel." Tom bought it. The world went dark as I fell, not to the floor, but into Chad's arms. He whispered in my ear: "Your colleague Mark sends his regards. He didn't appreciate you reporting him to HR."

The grand hall of the Thompson estate. The scent of expensive flowers and a decade of my family' s fading name. Tonight, I, Sarah Miller, was the offering, a supposed "lucky charm" to merge our dying empire with the titans of the Thompson Corporation. But the truth was, I was just a broodmare, chosen to birth their legacy, just like in my first life. The memory wasn' t a dream; it was a brand etched into my soul. The cold concrete floor, the smell of dust and ozone. I was tied to a chair, my body weak from giving birth to my three children. Across the room, David, the man I was forced to marry, stood over three small, still forms on a steel table. "The offerings are ready," a scientist said, his voice flat. "The biological processors will give the AI an unparalleled learning curve." Biological processors. Offerings. No. I screamed, a ragged sound. "David, no! Please, not our children!" He grabbed my hair, back. "Our children? You manipulative witch! You tricked my mother into making me have these… abominations with you!" He gestured to a photo: Olivia Reed, "My Love." "You ruined everything! She was pregnant with my true heir! But you and your cursed luck forced my hand." He forced a bitter liquid down my throat. My world went black. And then, I woke up. Back in the Thompson' s grand hall, the scent of flowers choking me. Mrs. Thompson held my hand. David stood beside her, his eyes holding the same cold hatred. We were back. The day of our forced engagement. Before the nightmare could begin again, I pulled my hand from Mrs. Thompson' s grasp. My voice small, unsteady, I said, "Mrs. Thompson… I can' t accept." This time, he wanted Olivia. He believed her child was his key to power. I would hand him the shovel and watch him dig his own grave.

"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. No surrenders. If we're doing this, it's for life" "Deal" Mia said without missing a beat. Her father wants to destroy her life. She wouldn't give him the pleasure, she would destroy her life as she seems fit. ................ Two shattered heirs. One deadly vow. A marriage built on revenge. Mia Meyers was born to rule her father's empire (so she thought), until he named his bastard son heir instead. Stefan Sterling knows the sting of betrayal too. His father discarded him like trash. Now the rivals' disgraced children have a poisonous proposal: Marry for vengeance. Crush their fathers' legacies. Never speak of divorce. Whoever cracks first loses everything. Can these two rivals, united by their vengeful hearts, pull off a marriage of convenience to reclaim what they believe is rightfully theirs? Or will their fathers' animosity, and their own complicated pasts tear their fragile alliance apart?

I was four months pregnant, weighing over two hundred pounds, and my heart was failing from experimental treatments forced on me as a child. My doctor looked at me with clinical detachment and told me I was in a death sentence: if I kept the baby, I would die, and if I tried to remove it, I would die. Desperate for a lifeline, I called my father, Francis Acosta, to tell him I was sick and pregnant. I expected a father's love, but all I got was a cold, sharp blade of a voice. "Then do it quietly," he said. "Don't embarrass Candi. Her debutante ball is coming up." He didn't just reject me; he erased me. My trust fund was frozen, and I was told I was no longer an Acosta. My fiancé, Auston, had already discarded me, calling me a "bloated whale" while he looked for a thinner, wealthier replacement. I left New York on a Greyhound bus, weeping into a bag of chips, a broken woman the world considered a mistake. I couldn't understand how my own father could tell me to die "quietly" just to save face for a party. I didn't know why I had been a lab rat for my family’s pharmaceutical ambitions, or how they could sleep at night while I was left to rot in the gray drizzle of the city. Five years later, the doors of JFK International Airport slid open. I stepped onto the marble floor in red-soled stilettos, my body lean, lethal, and carved from years of blood and sweat. I wasn't the "whale" anymore; I was a ghost coming back to haunt them. With my daughter by my side and a medical reputation that terrified the global elite, I was ready to dismantle the Acosta empire piece by piece. "Tell Francis to wash his neck," I whispered to the skyline. "I'm home."

My stepmother sold me like a piece of inventory to a man known for breaking people just to plug the financial crater my father left behind. I was delivered to the Morton estate in the middle of a freezing storm, stripped of my phone, and told that if I didn't make myself useful, my senile grandfather would be evicted from his care facility by noon. The master of the house, Adonis Morton IV, was a monster living in a silent mausoleum, driven to the brink of madness by a sensory condition that turned every sound into a physical assault. When I was forced into his suite to serve him, he didn't see a human being; he saw a source of agony. In a fit of animalistic rage, he pinned me to the wall and nearly strangled me to death just for the sound of a shattering teacup. I only survived by using my grandfather’s secret herbal blends and pressure-point therapy to force his overactive nervous system into a drugged sleep. But saving him was my greatest mistake. Instead of letting me go, Adonis moved me into a guest suite connected to his own bedroom by a hidden door. He didn't just want me as a servant; he needed me as a human white-noise machine to drown out the demons in his head. The nightmare deepened when he took the promissory note that defined my freedom and tore it into confetti. By destroying the debt, he destroyed my exit strategy. He replaced my maid’s uniform with a silver silk dress that clung to my skin but did nothing to hide the dark, ugly bruises his fingers had left on my neck. He branded me as his "primary care associate," a title that was nothing more than a gilded cage. I felt a sickening sense of injustice as he forced me to sign a contract that banned me from contacting other men and required me to sleep wherever he slept. He looked at me with a possessive heat, calling me his "medication" rather than a woman. My family had sold my body, but Adonis Morton was intent on owning my very presence, using my grandfather’s medical bills as a leash to keep me within twenty feet of him at all times. Standing in a neglected greenhouse with mud staining my expensive silk, I realized I was no longer a victim waiting for rescue. If I was going to be his medication, I would learn how to be his cure—or his undoing. I began clearing the weeds with a cold, calculated frenzy, determined to turn this prison into my laboratory. He thinks he has trapped a helpless girl, but I am going to pry open the cracks in his stone walls until his entire world comes crashing down.

I had just survived a private jet crash, my body a map of violet bruises and my lungs still burning from the smoke. I woke up in a sterile hospital room, gasping for my husband's name, only to realize I was completely alone. While I was bleeding in a ditch, my husband, Adam, was on the news smiling at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. When I tracked him down at the hospital's VIP wing, I didn't find a grieving husband. I found him tenderly cradling his ex-girlfriend, Casie, in his arms, his face lit with a protective warmth he had never shown me as he carried her into the maternity ward. The betrayal went deeper than I could have imagined. Adam admitted the affair started on our third anniversary-the night he claimed he was stuck in London for a merger. Back at the manor, his mother had already filled our planned nursery with pink boutique bags for Casie's "little princess." When I demanded a divorce, Adam didn't flinch. He sneered that I was "gutter trash" from a foster home and that I'd be begging on the streets within a week. To trap me, he froze my bank accounts, cancelled my flight, and even called the police to report me for "theft" of company property. I realized then that I wasn't his partner; I was a charity case he had plucked from obscurity to manage his life. To the Hortons, I was just a servant who happened to sleep in the master bedroom, a "resilient" woman meant to endure his abuse in silence while the whole world laughed at the joke that was my marriage. Adam thought stripping me of his money would make me crawl back to him. He was wrong. I walked into his executive suite during his biggest deal of the year and poured a mug of sludge over his original ten-million-dollar contracts. Then, right in front of his board and his mistress, I stripped off every designer thread he had ever paid for until I was standing in nothing but my own silk camisole. "You can keep the clothes, Adam. They're as hollow as you are." I grabbed my passport, turned my back on his billions, and walked out of that glass tower barefoot, bleeding, and finally free.
