- Chapter 1
- My father arranged my marriage to a man
- named Jackson. I fell for him the moment I
- laid eyes on him.
- For years, I used our engagement to flirt and
- tease him relentlessly, yet he never showed a
- flicker of desire.
- He was always controlled and composed,
- unfazed, except when it came to Jessica. His
- composure would crack around her.
- “Jackson, you’re quite something. Engaged to
- your sister–in–law, but still pining after your
- sister. But honestly, Scarlett is a real
- firecracker, how do you resist her?”
- “I’m not interested in her.”
- “If it weren’t for the recent unrest in the city,
- I’d be worried about jeopardizing Jessica’s
- safety. This engagement wouldn’t have landed
- on her Once things settle down. I’ll break it.
- く
- Jackson’s voice was icy, sending a chill down
- my spine.
- “But I heard the Song family is marrying your
- sweetheart off to that blind guy from the
- Hayes family…”
- “Don’t worry, I’ve already spoken to old man
- Song. We’ll change the bride.”
- He said it so casually.
- He didn’t know that the bride being
- reassigned to the Hayes family was me.
- “Dad, about the Hayes marriage… let me
- go…
- My father, Richard, looked up from his desk,
- surrounded by photos of various women.
- “What?”
- He adjusted his glasses, his eyes narrowing
- suspiciously.
- “You know Jackson likes Jessica?”
- Seeing my silence, Richard laughed.
- “Good. Jackson told me the engagement was
- <
- just a smokescreen. Once he handles
- everything in the city, he’ll break it off and
- marry Jessica…..”
- “You volunteering to marry into the Hayes
- family is convenient. Even though the Hayes
- boy is blind, he still has money. It’s better
- than you ending up as Jackson’s ex–fiancée
- and marrying some nobody.”
- “Scarlett, you’re finally being sensible. I’m
- relieved…”
- I watched his hypocritical display of concern
- and coldly interrupted him.
- “But I have two conditions…”
- “First, move Jessica’s mother’s ashes away
- from my mother’s grave.”
- Richard, enraged by my bringing up the past,
- slammed his fist on the desk, making the
- room tremble.
- “Jessica’s mother was a legitimate member
- of the Song family. Burying her in our family
- <
- plot is perfectly reasonable. Don’t be
- unreasonable!”
- “A mistress doesn’t get to claim legitimacy!
- She made my mother’s life a living hell, and I
- won’t let her disturb her peace!”
- “Think carefully. Do you really want to make a
- point and let the Hayes family slip away, or…
- Richard claimed he truly loved Jessica’s
- mother, but when money was involved, he
- quickly caved.
- “Fine, fine, I agree.”
- “My second condition… before I leave, the
- Hayes marriage must be kept completely
- secret…”
- Compared to my first demand, this one
- seemed simple.
- Richard scrutinized me, wary of missing any
- expression, but ultimately didn’t think too
- deeply.
- As long as it didn’t affect the Song family’s
- wealth and status, he didn’t care about my
- feelings.
- Besides, he favored Jessica, and his beloved
- daughter was about to get a perfect
- marriage. And I, his disobedient daughter,
- was willing to marry the blind Hayes heir to
- solidify his position in the business world.
- Perfect.
- Leaving the house, Jackson’s Bentley waited
- at the entrance.
- The window rolled down, revealing Jackson’s
- breathtaking profile. His usually calm eyes
- were filled with urgency.
- “Hurry, we’re late for the party.”
- Seeing my leisurely pace, he urged me,
- unusually opening the back door for me.
- In the past, I would have been thrilled,
- secretly rejoicing at a crack in his icy exterior.
- But now, I just smiled politely and sat in the
- passenger seat.
- く
- He was used to being the center of attention,
- and usually only made a token appearance at
- even the most extravagant parties.
- His urgency had only one explanation: Jessica
- would be at the party.
- Jackson looked at me, surprised. He sensed
- something unusual about me.
- But the thought vanished as his mind filled
- with excitement at seeing Jessica.
- Jackson, don’t worry, everything will go your
- way.
- As soon as we got out of the car, Jackson’s
- eyes locked onto Jessica, his steps
- instinctively moving towards her.
- Jessica, hearing the commotion, turned,
- embracing his arm without hesitation.
- “Jackson, long time no see, I missed you so
- much…”
- Seeing my impassive expression, she added a
- few words with a forced smile.
- く
- “…and my sister.”
- Jackson was amused by her playful antics,
- gently stroking her hair, even more
- affectionate than he was with me, his fiancée.
- He pulled out an elegant velvet box. “A little
- gift, I hope you like it.”
- Jessica dramatically opened it, excitedly
- putting on a necklace.
- My heart ached.
- At the recent auction, I’d fallen in love with a
- ten–carat flawless pink diamond necklace,
- reminiscent of one my mother had worn.
- I’d politely asked Jackson to bid for it, but
- he’d been hesitant and silent.
- Later, an anonymous buyer bought it, and I
- didn’t push it.
- But the necklace I’d longed for was now a
- “little gift” around Jessica’s neck.
