“I will let you be on top from tonight, please don’t divorce me, darling!” ----- Evelyn’s fairytale life shattered when a stranger stormed in, claiming to be the real daughter of the Wright family with proof. Her enviable privileges? Stripped away. Her spotless reputation? Tarnished. Her four-year engagement? Abruptly annulled. But the worst betrayal came from her once-loving father, all set to marry her off to settle a business score—with a man twice her age! Everyone in the circle attended this scandalous wedding, eager to witness the downfall of the supposed fake heiress. Yet, the climax was not what even Evelyn had anticipated! Zevian Reign, the nation’s richest tycoon, known for being every woman’s fantasy and the nightmare of all his rivals, made a dramatic entrance. His arrival stunned the guests, but his brazen wish was even more startling! He casually demanded to replace the groom and marry the beautiful bride. No one dared to challenge, nor did anyone have the guts to disobey him. They were left with no choice but to watch the wedding unfold. And it was Evelyn’s time to smirk, for she was now the devil’s wife. And all those who had ruined her, they would pay back in tenfold! ++++ [Excerpt] "Why would I ditch my husband for a loser?" Evelyn chuckled, crossing her arms defiantly. "He is better than him in all the aspects." Her gaze drifted to her ex-fiancé nearby, and she continued with a smirk, "Actually, a lot better in bed." As Annabelle’s face flushed with disdain, Evelyn patted her back and leaned in to deliver another slap. "So, good luck with licking my leftovers, dear step-sister. He's a perfect match for you."
The next day, Gracia was prepared to be discharged from the hospital. Evelyn had debated whether it was better to return to Vespera. She needed to focus on her work—Avery had been managing the company alone, but Evelyn couldn't ignore the signs of her friend's health slowly deteriorating. Though Avery brushed it off with her usual resilience, Evelyn knew her limits.
Still, Damien suggested they stay for a few more days. He needed time to wrap things up—finishing the ongoing deal with the Lobo organization and clearing out some matters before returning to Arecamia. Troubles were brewing back there; his team was stretched thin, and Natalie seemed to be trying to break free from the shadows, a dangerous move that could jeopardize everything they'd worked for.
Yet, amidst it all, Damien prioritized Evelyn and her matters.
As they finalized the discharge papers, Damien turned to her suddenly, breaking the thoughtful silence.
