Everyone believed that Leyla, inheriting a slyness from her aunt, adeptly drew in married men while presenting an innocent front. Unexpectedly, she became the infamous playboy Colton's wife after just one intense encounter, causing many to speculate about the motives behind their rushed marriage. Initially perceived as a mere transaction, the nature of their relationship took a turn at a party where an emotional Colton grabbed Leyla's wrist and, with a voice laced with raw vulnerability, asked, "Can you love me a bit more?" It was then she realized the truth-he had been pulling the strings of their relationship from the very beginning.

Chapter 1 Wanna Do It

"Wanna do it?" Leyla Stanley asked, wrapping one leg around the man's waist.

Leyla was leaning against a door as she spoke.

A corridor separated the two of them from the lively banquet hall next door.

In that hall, Leyla's ex-boyfriend was celebrating his engagement with his new partner.

The man heard her clearly and emotion flashed in his narrowed eyes.

He gripped Leyla's waist, seized one of her wrists, and threw her onto the soft bed.

Then he leaned over her with his head lowered. His voice was thick with seduction. "Yes."

Leyla's long hair lay sprawled across the pillow. She leaned in and pressed her rosy lips against his.

The sweet scent of her perfume mixed with the deep aroma of wine, filling the room.

His breath caught in his throat. He held her chin with one hand and his voice grew low and tempting. "Leyla, open your eyes and look carefully... Who am I?"

Wait a minute... Who exactly was he?

The tipsy Leyla blinked her eyes open.

The man was incredibly handsome. His long lashes framed striking eyes, and he had a strong nose and refined features.

What a devilish charmer.

Leyla moved closer, her breath warm against him.

Wrapping her slightly cool arms around his neck, she leaned in and whispered in his ear.

"You are..." Her voice was seductive. "Colton."

He was indeed Colton Quinn.

He was the infamous playboy of Valston, known for his reckless ways. He was a romance expert who never let himself get too attached to any woman.

Colton was also the head of the influential Quinn family.

Colton hesitated for a moment.

Then he kissed her passionately, and the kiss seemed to last forever.

The next morning, Leyla woke up from a nightmare.

Her head was pounding, and she buried her face in the blanket.

What Theo Higgins, her ex-boyfriend, had said last night at the engagement party echoed in her mind, haunting her dreams.

"Leyla is just as loose as Rachael. It was only a fling. I would never marry someone like her."

And just like that, Theo had gotten engaged to someone else.

After the Stanley family had faced tragedy, Leyla had become an orphan and went to live with her aunt, Rachael Yates.

Rachael had married into the Higgins family, so Leyla had moved in with the family.

Over the years, Theo had pursued her without giving up.

Rachael encouraged her to accept him; after all, he treated her kindly.

Feeling a bit moved, Leyla had said yes to Theo's courtship, even though she didn't love him.

In Theo's eyes, she had become loose.

The mocking laughter from the crowd last night still echoed in her mind.

A wave of bitterness washed over her, making it hard to catch her breath.

She forced out a bitter smile.

Tears flowed down her cheeks.

Suddenly, the edge of the blanket was lifted, bringing in a rush of fresh air. A relaxed voice reached her ears.

"Miss Stanley."

Leyla looked up quickly and found a handsome face looking back at her.

His long lashes framed his eyes, and a small mole rested at the corner.

Colton?

Noticing her surprise, Colton spoke in a rough voice, a teasing tone lacing his words. "With that expression, it's as if you you've forgotten what happened last night."

He gently brushed a stray hair from her cheek.

His fingers were slightly cool against her skin, causing her to shiver.

When she noticed the suggestive marks on his neck, her expression changed, and she felt herself blush.

Colton was known as the most carefree playboy in the Quinn family.

And he was... Theo's cousin.

In a moment of reckless abandon fueled by alcohol, she had slept with him.

She frowned slightly, her long hair cascading loosely over her pale shoulders.

Her eyes, which had sparkled with allure last night, were now clear and cold. No longer drunk, she seemed completely indifferent and distant.

To her, sex was just a casual affair.

She wanted nothing to do with Theo.

"Let's just pretend last night never happened, Mr. Quinn." Her tone was cool.

Colton's eyes sparkled with amusement. A carefree smile spread across his face as he suddenly grabbed her chin, compelling her to meet his gaze.

I woke up in a blindingly white hotel penthouse with a throbbing headache and the taste of betrayal in my mouth. The last thing I remembered was my stepsister, Cathie, handing me a flute of champagne at the charity gala with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Now, a tall, dangerously handsome man walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his hips. On the nightstand sat a stack of hundred-dollar bills. My stepmother had finally done it—she drugged me and staged a scandal with a hired escort to destroy my reputation and my future. "Aisha! Is it true you spent the night with a gigolo?" The shouts of a dozen reporters echoed through the heavy oak door as camera flashes exploded through the peephole. My phone lit up with messages showing my bank accounts were already frozen. My father was invoking the 'morality clause' in my mother’s trust fund, and my fiancé had already released a statement dumping me to marry my stepsister instead. I was trapped, penniless, and being hunted by the press for a scandal I hadn't even participated in. My own family had sold me out for a payday, and the man standing in front of me was the only witness who could prove I was innocent—or finish me off for good. I didn't have time to cry. According to the fine print of the trust, I had thirty days to prove my "rehabilitation" through a legal marriage or I would lose everything. I tracked the man down to a coffee shop the next morning, watching him take a thick envelope of cash from a wealthy older woman. I sat across from him and slid a napkin with a $50,000 figure written on it. "I need a husband. Legal, paper-signed, and convincing." He looked at the number, then at me, a slow, crooked smile spreading across his face. I thought I was hiring a desperate gigolo to save my inheritance. I had no idea I was actually proposing to Dominic Fields, the reclusive billionaire shark who was currently planning a hostile takeover of my father’s entire empire.

I was finally brought back to the billionaire Vance estate after years in the grimy foster system, but the luxury Lincoln felt more like a funeral procession. My biological family didn't welcome me with open arms; they looked at me like a stain on a silk shirt. They thought I was a "defective" mute with cognitive delays, a spare part to be traded away. Within hours of my arrival, my father decided to sell me to Julian Thorne, a bitter, paralyzed heir, just to secure a corporate merger. My sister Tiffany treated me like trash, whispering for me to "go back to the gutter" before pouring red wine over my dress in front of Manhattan's elite. When a drunk cousin tried to lay hands on me at the engagement gala, my grandmother didn't protect me-she raised her silver-topped cane to strike my face for "embarrassing the family." They called me a sacrificial lamb, laughing as they signed the prenuptial agreement that stripped me of my freedom. They had no idea I was E-11, the underground hacker-artist the world was obsessed with, or that I had already breached their private servers. I found the hidden medical records-blood types A, A, and B-a biological impossibility that proved my "parents" were harboring a scandal that could ruin them. Why bring me back just to discard me again? And why was Julian Thorne, the man supposedly bound to a wheelchair, secretly running miles at dawn on his private estate? Standing in the middle of the ballroom, I didn't plead for mercy. I used a text-to-speech app to broadcast a cold, synthetic threat: "I have the records, Richard. Do you want me to explain genetics to the press, or should we leave quietly?" With the "paralyzed" billionaire as my unexpected accomplice, I walked out of the Vance house and into a much more dangerous game.
