概要

[Status: COMPLETED] In her previous life, Adrienne Jiang had used all means to save her mother’s life. Her father had neglected her after marrying his mistress, allowing the mother-and-daughter pair to bully her to no end. The older brother whom she thought she could rely on gave her a cold shoulder and chastised her instead for not cutting their mother’s life support. In her despair, Adrienne almost fell into the trap set by her stepsister. In the end, she entered a contractual marriage with her best friend’s brother, Alistair Han, a man she’d been carrying a torch for from a young age. Only then did she realize that the man was manipulative and obsessive, not wanting her out of sight. She had been treated like a bird trapped in a golden cage. In the end, she met her demise at the betrayal of her brother and everything was lost in the fire. After being reborn, she was determined not to continue being a good-for-nothing person. Lennox Qin, the vicious young master of the Qin family, was set to become the next head of their family. However, because of an incident, he was crippled and deemed unworthy. When he and Adrienne’s paths crossed, they came to an agreement. “I’ll marry you to remove your bad luck and be your wife for two years. In return, allow me to use you to destroy the Han and Jiang families.” The man seated in a wheelchair merely raised a brow at her declaration. His lips then curled into a dashing smile and he agreed without batting an eyelid. However, when the time was almost up, he rushed to convince her to stay in their marriage. “Madam Qin deserves the best. If it’s the world you desire, I’ll bring it to you on a silver platter. You can have the entire world, but darling, do not forget that while everything belongs to you, you belong to me.” Adrienne furrowed her brows. “But you don’t even like me...” She reasoned out, thinking that her husband might have lost his mind. “No, I didn’t, but I do love you now. In fact, you are the only one I think of these days.” However, it seemed to her that not only her husband was trying to get her attention but her in-laws as well.

Chapter 1Eldest Miss Jiang (1)

It was a deep night during winter, and everything in sight was frozen.

As the cold winter breeze passed, Adrienne's dark room was suddenly lit by a lone candle from one of the servants. It flickered a few times before going out. The old woman gasped upon seeing her standing outside the balcony wearing nothing but her thin nightdress.

"Madam, you should go to rest." She said, helping Adrienne to return inside.

Adrienne looked at her, allowing her attendant to drag her back inside.

"It doesn't matter." Adrienne said, with a hint of melancholy in her voice. "You should go and rest. I want to sleep now. I'm sorry for keeping you up this late."

The old woman's eyes looked at her with pity. It had been ten years since Adrienne Jiang married their master, but it seemed like several decades had passed, and her madam had lost her beauty and the will to live.

Once Adrienne was on the bed, the old woman withdrew and left but not before giving her one last pitiful look. As she watched the last person who cared for her leave, her lips curled into a slight smile. She had endured this far but failed to save her mother's life.

She wouldn't mind if she perished now and followed her mother in the afterlife. It would be better than being imprisoned in this place, never to see the world again. Her days and nights remained the same, like an endless cycle.

At the tender age of fifteen, her mother was involved in a nasty car accident, putting her in a vegetative state. She was the only one who believed that her mother would wake up one day. A year after her mother fell into a coma; her father remarried after convincing the doctors to declare her mother mentally incapacitated, never able to wake up.

It was only then it was revealed that he'd been keeping a mistress, fathering another daughter the same age as her as a result of their affair. Adrienne felt betrayed and hurt in her mother's stead, seeing her father turn into this horrible character.

She thought her older brother, Cayden, would at least side with her in her decision to keep her mother alive, but he didn't. This left Adrienne baffled by his sudden change. Her new stepmother had her claws so deep in him that her brother had sided with them and defended them against her. She never understood what that vicious mother and daughter had over him, but Adrienne could barely recognize the brother she grew up with.

When she turned eighteen, Adrienne left home and started working part-time while attending school. It had been hard at first, but her newfound freedom had allowed her to see the world beyond luxury and wealth. She learned that being poor gave one very minimal options.

However, leaving the Jiang household didn't mean that she was safe from her stepmother and sister's scheming. No matter where she goes, the pair would always find someone to bribe to make her life miserable. She had almost lost her innocence to someone when Elise set her up.

If Alistair Han didn't appear that day, Adrienne knew she wouldn't have been able to move forward. However, it had also sealed her fate, effectively binding her to him. She never thought the man she'd been having a huge crush on would be interested in her.

At the age of twenty-one, she married her best friend's brother, Alistair Han, not out of love, but out of the need to finance her mother's medical needs. After their marriage, her husband spoiled her rotten with material things and ordered an expert to care for her mother.

It felt like a fairytale being played in front of her. That he was a glimmer of hope in her darkness. She had foolishly thought that this man had come to save her from her miserable life, but who would have thought that she would be no different from a pet being kept unwillingly in a cage?

Alas, Myrtle had once warned her that it would be good for her to distance herself from her older brother. Adrienne thought that the two siblings never got along because of their different mothers, but it wasn't the case at all.

Alistair had kept her against her will, unwilling to leave her unattended or without knowing where she could be. At first, she thought it was endearing that he was starting to care for her, but it was just the start of her misery.

No matter how she begged and bargained with him, it didn't stop Alistair. He went as far as forcing himself on her even when she didn't want to. She had never seen him in the same light again and could only feel disgust and hatred toward him.

Since then, Adrienne had ignored his attempts to reconcile. Her dream was shattered, pulling her back from the harsh reality she'd been trying to escape. Her mother's health had worsened as she frequently had infections, and as much as Adrienne wanted to divorce her husband, she couldn't because her mother's welfare relied on his help.

She shut her eyes, but Adrienne couldn't stop the memories from playing in her mind. In the end, her mother passed away in her sleep, proving that all her efforts had been futile. Now, she was trapped inside this mansion, feeling alone and worthless. She could feel nothing else but resentment and a void in her heart.

Her dream was already thrown to the wind the moment her mother fell into a coma. She couldn't finish her studies because she hurriedly married Alistair despite the disapproval of Myrtle, her best friend. She wondered if things would have turned differently had she declined his proposition.

It didn't take long before Adrienne fell asleep. A single tear rolled down her cheeks, regretting all the wrong decisions, her hate towards those who wronged her continued to intensify. Alas, in the end, she couldn't blame anyone but herself. However, if given a chance to rectify her mistakes, she would take revenge into her own hands.

Few days to her twenty-fifth birthday, she gets promoted to not just a higher position but to the head office in a different city. Having to spend her birthday night in a new city, she goes to the club where she meets a very handsome stranger, Thomas Hank, who offers to be her one night stand after catching a glimpse of her dare-to-do list, which included having a one night stand. Thomas Hank, after having been used by several ladies in the past, is bent on getting the lady of his dreams who would love him for himself and not his wealth. So when he meets the cute and naive Lucinda Perry at the club, he decides to keep his true identity from her and find out if she was worth keeping. ***Excerpt*** What is more entertaining than a crazy side character? Say hello to Sonia and Bryan. Sonia's heart stopped beating for a second, and then different thoughts started flying right through her head at that same time. Bryan Hank? Her celebrity crush was kneeling right in front of her and asking her to be his wife? Was he mistaking her for someone? Was it possible this was a skit, or maybe this was like one of those celebrity pranks, and there were cameras around, waiting to capture her make a fool of herself? Or perhaps she was dreaming? Sonia wondered as she looked around them, but all she saw were curious onlookers. "Please! Be my wife and make me the happiest man on Earth," He said in a very loud voice that caught the attention of everyone. Her editor who she had been waiting on for over an hour because he was trying to sign a deal with a movie producer who was interested in one of her stories, showed up at that moment, "Sonia, you know Bryan Hank?" Her editor asked in genuine surprise as he watched the scene before him. It seemed like an hour had passed since Bryan went on his knees, but it had only been a minute. Bryan knew no lady would be crazy enough to accept such a crazy proposal, and even if any were, paying her off and calling off the whole thing would be easy since all he wanted was the scandal that could come from this. The headlines were either going to be about his rejected Marriage proposal or his supposed engagement, which would be enough to let Sophia off the hook. "Yes!" Sonia said as she bobbed her head excitedly and extended her finger for him to wear her the ring. "Yes?" Bryan asked in confusion when he heard her response. "Yes! I will be your wife and make you the happiest man in the world!" Sonia said with a giggle and wiggled her fingers until Bryan slid the ring down her finger. Surprisingly the ring was her exact size, and it sat on her finger like it was made just for her. The sound of applause erupted all around them as Sonia stood up with a big smile on her face and embraced Bryan before kissing him right on the lips. Bryan was slightly taken aback by her boldness but quickly recovered since this was his game, and he had to play along. He was the one who had approached her first, after all. So when she tried to break the kiss, he held her chin and slowly nibbled on her lower lip before parting her lips with his tongue and sucked on it in a teasing manner, eliciting a moan from Sonia. Sonia felt light-headed. This was too good to be true. It just had to be a dream. How else could she explain that one moment she was seated at the lobby of a hotel waiting for her editor, and the next she was engaged to her celebrity crush and was kissing him right here in the open?
