Fu Jincheng saved my life, and for three years, I followed him around like his little shadow. He got into a car accident, and I took care of him with all my heart. Later, I secretly looked at his chat history with a friend, and he referred to me as a "dog" who followed him for three years, saying I was driving him crazy and that I was really cheap. His friend chimed in, teasing me that I wanted to marry him and enter into a wealthy family. Fu Jincheng mocked me to my face, saying I wasn't worthy of being Mrs. Fu. When I realized I had mistaken my savior, I turned and walked away. But as I left, Fu Jincheng went frantic, searching everywhere for me. Finally, when he found me, his eyes were filled with joy. "Susu, I finally found you." "Hello, I'm your sister-in-law."

After leaving: Love with the Heir Chapter 1

Rhys saved my life, so I silently admired him, following him without any title for three years.

One early morning, I received a call from Rhys, but it was Lorraine speaking.

She was a famous actress and the one Rhys always had in his heart.

"Hey, Haylee, we're in Room 003 at the Twilight Terrace Bar. Rhys is drunk. Can you come and pick him up?"

For the past three years, whenever Rhys got drunk, I had to act like a doting nanny and bring him home. It had become a routine for me.

But remembering how he once helped me, I reluctantly headed to the bar.

As I approached the room, the door was slightly ajar, and I could clearly hear Rhys's voice: "Just wait and see. Haylee will be like a cat on a hot tin roof when she hears I'm drunk, might even run a few red lights in her rush."

His friends laughed along with him.

"We all see how Haylee feels about you, Rhys. Isn't it time you thought about the future? When will you give her an answer and marry her?"

Rhys looked indifferent.

"Marry Haylee?

That's impossible!

Who would want to marry someone who revolves around them all day?

But if I ever get married, I might consider making Haylee my mistress. It would be an honor for her."

"Rhys, what does Haylee see in you?

She's been head over heels for you for three years. What is she after?"

Rhys swirled his glass nonchalantly.

"What else?

Money, of course. She wants to marry into high society.

Being with me, she can live a good life and be a rich wife. She won't lose out."

"But marrying into high society isn't that easy!

Sometimes when I'm drunk, I deliberately throw up on her, and she doesn't even get mad. She just helps me sober up.

Her eagerness is disgusting!"

Laughter and teasing erupted around them again.

Rhys's words felt like daggers to my heart.

I glanced at him secretly. He was indeed handsome, but the hero who saved me and the man before me seemed worlds apart.

I had enough and didn't want to continue like this.

My best friend once asked me, puzzled, "There are so many good men out there.Why are you so fixated on Rhys?

What attracts you to him?"

I told her, "He saved my life."

I remembered a night three years ago when a homeless man tried to assault me in an alley. I was terrified.

He lunged at me, grinning with yellowed teeth, trying to tear my clothes.

My heart nearly jumped out of my chest. Just then, Rhys appeared like a hero from the sky.

He fought the man and told me to run.

But when I returned with help, he was gone.

The alley was dimly lit, and in my panic, I didn't get a good look at him. I only remembered a distinctive coin pendant around his neck.

Months later, I recognized Rhys as my savior through that pendant.

When I asked him, he didn't deny it.

Now, Rhys seemed like a stranger.

Feeling down, I left the bar and called him.

I wanted to test him, so I lied, saying I had a car accident and couldn't pick him up, suggesting he find a driver.

He simply replied, "Got it," showing no concern for me.

This was the man I had wholeheartedly loved for three years.

Suddenly, my expectations vanished.

Before I hung up, there was chaos on the other end, and Lorraine's voice was loud.

She spoke with a sweet yet sharp tone, "Rhys, why is Haylee so dumb?

She foolishly thinks you're her savior, her hero.

If she knew it wasn't you who saved her that night, what would her reaction be?

She'd be as if she swallowed something revolting!"

"Calling her dumb isn't wrong. She mistook the one who harmed her for her savior..."

Just as I was about to hear more, the call abruptly ended.

Rhys had been deceiving me!

He knew he wasn't my savior but let me believe it, playing me for a fool all these years!

Despite my anger, I felt relieved.

It was good to know there was no debt of gratitude between us.

After the incident, I was at a loss about how to face Rhys, so I didn't return to his place.

Distraught, I drove around Wocheyra like a lost child.

As I looked at the city's bright lights, I realized I had nowhere else to go besides Rhys's apartment.

It wasn't until the next afternoon that I returned to Rhys's place.

After just one day, the apartment was a mess.

Rhys liked peace and didn't want others around, so I always handled the cleaning.

Exhausted, I didn't have the energy to tidy up.

I grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge and noticed the dumplings my mom made for me were gone.

They were her last gift of warmth and memory for me.

Panicked, I turned to ask Rhys about them, only to find Lorraine there too.

Her clothes were disheveled, and her face was flushed. Seeing the mess, I could guess what they did last night.

But I didn't care about that now.

"Have you seen the dumplings I left in the fridge? My mom made them for me..."

Before I could finish, Lorraine interrupted, pointing to a small dog on the floor. "Look, the dumplings you cherished are right there."

I looked down and saw a little dog happily chewing on something.

I was stunned to see it was my mom's precious dumplings!

I was in shock, and when I came to, I was seething with rage!

I stood at my mother’s open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest’s voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone—he brought Charla with him. He claimed she’d had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.

The world first saw the crash. A cherry-red sports car, crumpled like a can, embedded in the ornate gates of the prestigious Blackwood Art Gallery. Inside, I was slumped over the wheel, a faint, serene smile on my lips that made no sense. Gallery staff rushed out, their faces pale, trying to pull my eyelids shut. They wouldn't stay closed. My wide, vacant eyes stared out, refusing to be silenced. The police called it a tragic accident. The powerful Blackwood family issued a brief statement, an attempt to smother the truth with their influence. But truth has a way of finding cracks. An intern leaked my autopsy report: tongue surgically removed, knees bruised with calluses, stomach filled not with food, but with gnawed animal bones and phlegm. My death became a national nightmare. People raged online, demanding #JusticeForJaneDoe. I watched as a wispy, translucent soul. Dr. Alex Peterson, the medical examiner, refused to be silenced, seeing past the official story. "This wasn't an accident," he said. "She delivered a message." Pressure from city hall mounted, ordering him to close the case. Then, something impossible happened. The stitches meant to keep my eyes closed snapped, and they opened again, a silent act of defiance. The internet erupted. My spirit couldn't rest. People began digging, finding old articles about "muse-slaves," human beings treated as living art objects. It felt terrifyingly real. Dr. Peterson defied his superiors, ruling my death a homicide. With public outcry, a full investigation began. But every lead was a dead end: no wallet, no phone, disabled GPS, conveniently malfunctioning cameras. I longed to scream names, places. The public's patience wore thin, protestors demanding answers. Then, a radical idea emerged: a "Memory-Reader," a device to access the last images in my brain. Against all odds, the authorities agreed. My body, cryogenically preserved, was placed on a stage. The Blackwood family sat in the front row, an obscenity of feigned innocence. Among them, Michael, my brother, with a troubled look in his eyes. Dr. Peterson fitted a chrome helmet to my head. The monitors flickered to life. Static. Chloe Blackwood's dismissive voice echoed, "What a waste of time. This is boring." But then, a jolt. The static cleared. The world was inside my head. A dimly lit room. My parents and a shadowy figure. "She is the price," my mother said, emotionless. "A daughter for a pigment. We can always have another." A collective gasp filled the auditorium. The truth began to unfold.

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 fiancée. 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.
