Romance

At the banquet, Dad decides to betroth me to Arthur Cullingham, the finance prodigy whom he has been supporting since the start.
At that time, I have no idea that Arthur's heart already belongs to someone else.
After that, Dad's company is found to be selling counterfeit products. This leads to the stock prices crashing immensely. Not only that, but Dad is also facing criminal charges.
Arthur quickly brings Celeste Snow, his first love, back into our home. He then tells me that he wants to give Celeste a proper title.
My mother-in-law, Rachel Anderson, berates me as well.
"Your family has filed for bankruptcy, not to mention you're an infertile loser! Why shouldn't my son marry another woman?"
Arthur pushes the divorce agreement in my direction. In a flippant tone, he says, "If you sign the agreement right now, I can still keep you around as long as you treat Celeste well."
Meanwhile, I've secretly booked a train ticket that'll take me far away from here.
Just seven more days, and I'll follow Dad southbound. 


Mitchelle Payne returned from her pregnancy as a surrogate, to hear that her father had passed away. As a result of this, her stepmother and stepsister connived to chase her out of her father's house.Three years later, in a bid to collect back her father's house which was going to be demolished, she had to play to the cards of Patrick, a wealthy business man, and the very man that she got pregnant for three years ago. ''Are you trying to seduce me?'' The arrogant man asked her on one occasion where she was trying to get him to pay attention to her.''I didn't mean to,'' Mitchelle replied. They came to an agreement which got deeper and they eventually agreed to get married, but Patrick was always so jealous and on the edge about her. ''Mommy, give me a little brother to play with,'' Venice cooed as she held on to Mitchelle's leg.And so, after their wedding, every now and then, Patrick was always exhausting Mitchelle in bed. 

Sebastian Halston, the most powerful heir in the upper crust, is known for being a pain in the ass.
He has an obsession with cleanliness, but the thing is, it has reached extremely ridiculous standards.
He doesn't use anything that's already torn off its packaging. If someone has already touched something, he'll never touch it ever again.
Even his wife, Tracy Sullivan, whom he married in a marriage alliance, remains a virgin despite their two-year marriage.
It's not that Sebastian hasn't tried his best to overcome his germaphobia.
When Tracy sits on the side of his bed shyly while dressed in just a thin dress, he happens to be exiting the ensuite bathroom while toweling his hair dry. The sight of her makes him frown, leading him to give her two comments.
The first is, "You've dirtied my bed. I need to change the sheets later."
The second is, "I won't consummate our marriage with you. You're filthy." 

The day I'm exposed as a fake heiress of a wealthy family, the real heiress, Rowena Fairchild, storms into the house and stabs me repeatedly in the abdomen. She robs me of my chance to ever become a mother.
My fiance, Thaddeus Crowley, flies into a rage, and my parents also rush to declare that they'll never acknowledge her.
To appease me, Thaddeus proposes to me almost immediately, and my parents even issue a document officially cutting ties with Rowena. They tell me to just focus on my recovery.
Later, they tell me that Rowena has fled overseas and has been sold to Corovia, a country up north. They say it's karma, and I believe them.
It isn't until six years into my marriage that I see the woman who's supposed to be suffering in Corovia. She's nestled in my now-husband's arms, heavily pregnant.
Sighing, she says, "If I hadn't lost my temper and made that mistake six years ago, it wouldn't have been Marisol who married you.
"It's a good thing you, Mom, and Dad all took my side. Otherwise, I would've been sent to prison by that fraud. I bet that damn imposter never once imagined that I've been living under her nose all these years, or that I'm carrying your child.
"Once I give birth, you can just find an excuse to adopt the baby. Then that fraud can spend the rest of her life as the nanny to my child.
"Thank you for everything you've done these past years, Thaddeus."
Her loving gaze makes Thaddeus' cheeks flush red.
"Don't say that. Marrying her was the only way to keep your reputation intact. As long as you're safe and happy, everything I do is worth it."
As it turns out, the husband I believe to be my true love has been lying to me all along, and my parents have only just been covering for their real daughter, too.
In that case, I don't want any of them anymore.
