"Three years ago, Chynna Jewell was a freshman; during a summer vacation, she lost her way. She strayed into Joshua Baker's house and was forced to sleep with him all night. Three years later, her family was in decline and she was forced to attend a dinner party to meet the upper class. When she met him again, at this time, this man was already the president of the Bulcheri Empire, attractive and dazzling. He missed her for three years, deep into his bones, and just wanted to lock her by his side for a lifetime. She hated him and wanted to escape, but she couldn't escape from his palm."

Chapter 1 See the Demon Again

A white gown set off a petite and dainty figure, and the black hair, like seaweed, was loose above her shoulders.

Putting light make-up on her delicate and small face, she looked innocent and lovely.

Farrah Jewell saw the little beauty in front of her and said with a smile, "Chynna, you look so pretty when you dress up like this. Today is a great opportunity. You have to grab it."

Chynna Jewell nodded with a bitter smile. She had no intention of attending this cocktail party, but her sister kept coercing and bribing her.

Her sister, Farrah, called her yesterday. She said that her brother-in-law was going to attend a cocktail party.

The people who would attend this party were all big shots. In order to meet some magnates, Farrah asked Chynna to go with him.

Chynna had never heard that a man would take his sister-in-law to a cocktail party instead of his wife.

Of course, she refused her sister's request.

However, Farrah persuaded her, "Chynna, this is for your good. Both of us were born in a wealthy family, but we have been reduced to poverty since our family suffered a mishap, and we have been the derision of many people. I'm already married. So, I have no choice. Now, I hope you can bring about an upswing as soon as possible so that those villains won't dare to laugh at us anymore. It's good for you to meet more movers and shakers. That's the reason why I ask you to go to the party."

Hearing Farrah's words, Chynna had to give her consent.

Thinking that it was only a cocktail party, she would attend it superficially, take a perfunctory attitude to her sister, and go through the motions.

However, Chynna didn't expect that she couldn't deal with this party perfunctorily.

The reason was that she met the man again at the party, whom she treated as a demon!

If she had known that she would meet the man at the cocktail party, she would never have attended it.

It was a top-notch cocktail party. All the guests were big shots of the city.

Many limousines parked outside. Some beautiful ritual girls in gowns stood outside the door to greet the guests.

After Chynna and her brother-in-law entered, her brother-in-law was busy exchanging conventional greetings and getting acquainted with guests. He didn't bother about her.

Chynna was also happy to be free. There were a lot of exquisite cakes and fine food at the party. She could feast on them.

As for getting acquainted with some movers and shakers, which was her sister's idea, Chynna didn't have that in mind at all.

All the men and women exchanged toasts at the party, except Chynna. Hiding in a deserted corner, she was absorbed in eating the fine food which was in front of her.

These delicacies were made from some top ingredients. Usually, ordinary people couldn't eat them.

She thought that the party would end, and she could go home, just after eating a few more slices of Elysée milk cakes.

Suddenly, the cocktail party was in tumult. Then, she heard someone shout, "Mr. Baker is here."

All people stopped their motion at once. Their faces became respectful.

Especially for many female guests on the scene, their eyes were shining immediately.

Looking at the reactions of the people around her, Chynna frowned slightly, "Mr. Baker? Which mogul is here? He certainly puts on quite a show!"

The people present were all big shots in East City. Each of them was very arrogant ordinarily. Who did have such a great ability to make them all respectful?

Following everybody's gaze, Chynna saw a group of bodyguards, who wore black, trim suits and black sunglasses, escort a man to the cocktail party.

Although a bunch of people was coming, the tall man in the middle of the bodyguards attracted all people's attention.

Flash Marriage To My Best Friend's Father

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancĂ©e. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch—a titan of industry and my best friend’s father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.

I was sitting in the Presidential Suite of The Pierre, wearing a Vera Wang gown worth more than most people earn in a decade. It was supposed to be the wedding of the century, the final move to merge two of Manhattan's most powerful empires. Then my phone buzzed. It was an Instagram Story from my fiancĂ©, Jameson. He was at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris with a caption that read: "Fuck the chains. Chasing freedom." He hadn't just gotten cold feet; he had abandoned me at the altar to run across the world. My father didn't come in to comfort me. He burst through the door roaring about a lost acquisition deal, telling me the Holland Group would strip our family for parts if the ceremony didn't happen by noon. My stepmother wailed about us becoming the laughingstock of the Upper East Side. The Holland PR director even suggested I fake a "panic attack" to make myself look weak and sympathetic to save their stock price. Then Jameson’s sleazy cousin, Pierce, walked in with a lopsided grin, offering to "step in" and marry me just to get his hands on my assets. I looked at them and realized I wasn't a daughter or a bride to anyone in that room. I was a failed asset, a bouncing check, a girl whose own father told her to go to Paris and "beg" the man who had just publicly humiliated her. The girl who wanted to be loved died in that mirror. I realized that if I was going to be sold to save a merger, I was going to sell myself to the one who actually controlled the money. I marched past my parents and walked straight into the VIP holding room. I looked the most powerful man in the room—Jameson’s cold, ruthless uncle, Fletcher Holland—dead in the eye and threw the iPad on the table. "Jameson is gone," I said, my voice as hard as stone. "Marry me instead."

Today is October 14th, my birthday. I returned to New York after months away, dragging my suitcase through the biting wind, but the VIP pickup zone where my husband’s Maybach usually idled was empty. When I finally let myself into our Upper East Side penthouse, I didn’t find a cake or a "welcome home" banner. Instead, I found my husband, Caden, kneeling on the floor, helping our five-year-old daughter wrap a massive gift for my half-sister, Adalynn. Caden didn’t even look up when I walked in; he was too busy laughing with the girl who had already stolen my father’s legacy and was now moving in on my family. "Auntie Addie is a million times better than Mommy," my daughter Elara chirped, clutching a plush toy Caden had once forbidden me from buying for her. "Mommy is mean," she whispered loudly, while Caden just smirked, calling me a "drill sergeant" before whisking her off to Adalynn’s party without a second glance. Later that night, I saw a video Adalynn posted online where my husband and child laughed while mocking my "sensitive" nature, treating me like an inconvenient ghost in my own home. I had spent five years researching nutrition for Elara’s health and managing every detail of Caden’s empire, only to be discarded the moment I wasn't in the room. How could the man who set his safe combination to my birthday completely forget I even existed? The realization didn't break me; it turned me into ice. I didn't scream or beg for an explanation. I simply walked into the study, pulled out the divorce papers I’d drafted months ago, and took a black marker to the terms. I crossed out the alimony, the mansion, and even the custody clause—if they wanted a life without me, I would give them exactly what they asked for. I left my four-carat diamond ring on the console table and walked out into the rain with nothing but a heavily encrypted hard drive. The submissive Mrs. Holloway was gone, and "Ghost," the most lethal architect in the tech world, was finally back online to take back everything they thought I’d forgotten.
