Linsey is abandoned at the altar and impulsively marries a stranger to save face. Everyone mocks her until her newly wedded man is revealed as the world’s richest man. When he publicly declares his love, Linsey’s “mistake” turns into a fairytale. But how did a random wedding become something so real?
Linsey took a deep breath, surprised by how little anger she felt. Once, Felix’s words might have sent her into a rage. Now, she just couldn’t bring herself to care. “Felix, you left me for another woman on our wedding day, and now you’re talking about taking responsibility?” She leaned back in her chair, arms…
Meanwhile, inside the car, Linsey experienced a surge of relief. She turned to Collin with a soft smile. “Thank you for getting here so fast. I’m not sure what I would have done without you.” When she finished, she noticed Collin hadn’t replied. Surprised, she leaned in, giving him a puzzled look. “Collin, is something…
After a brief pause, Cynthia declared with certainty, “I still say he’s probably just her sugar daddy. Linsey doesn’t have the connections or the background. What well-to-do young man in town would take a woman like her seriously? At best, she’d only be a mistress. I’ve noticed many women like her in high society, those…
But after a pause, she let out a soft, self-deprecating laugh. That was just her talking-Collin never actually said he would be back. She had no reason to be upset. Collin was always busy. It wasn’t unusual for him to stay out late or not come home at all. Still, knowing that didn’t stop the…
An incredulous whisper swept through the room. “Who on earth has that much money? To casually drop a billion dollars-he must be insanely rich!” As the whispers grew louder, someone near the stage responded with a hint of awe. “The bidder is none other than the enigmatic founder of CR Corporation.” Murmurs of recognition and…
She had woken up early. How had she not heard anything? The butler smiled. “He returned late last night and went straight to the study. He hasn’t come out since.” Linsey frowned, irritation flickering across her face. He had come home so late, yet instead of resting, he had locked himself in the study to…
So now, faced with this extravagant gift, she was completely thrown off balance. Collin’s anticipation shattered at her reaction, and his expression darkened. “You’re my wife. Buying you something nice-is that really so unacceptable?” Linsey looked torn, frustration tightening her grip on the box. “Collin, we’re drowning in debt, and you’re spending money on a…
Her throat tightened, and she swallowed hard, her pulse hammering in her ears. This was happening-so fast, so suddenly. Yet, strangely, not a trace of hesitation or rejection stirred within her. A quiet, almost thrilling anticipation unfurled in the back of her mind. After all, they were married. Wasn’t this natural? Why should she push…
Even in his wheelchair, his presence commanded attention as he approached her. A faint trace of amusement flickered in Collin’s eyes at her reaction. He raised an eyebrow and spoke in an unhurried tone. “You told me to take better care of my health. I figured you had a point, so I decided to come…
Blinking away the daze, she slowly regained her senses and found herself staring into Collin’s eyes. There, reflected in the deep pools of his gaze, she caught a glimpse of her own face-flushed, vibrant, alive. Collin’s Adam’s apple bobbed visibly as he swallowed hard, his struggle to maintain composure palpable. Drawing in a deep, steadying…
