Chapter 1
My husband’s brother’s wife, Vanessa Caldwell, was angry again.
Just because I kissed my husband at the wedding banquet, she burst into tears and wrecked the whole venue.
After the scene she caused, she locked herself in her room and went on a hunger strike.
My husband, Ryan Mitchell, left me at the wedding banquet to chase after her.
He brought her into our home to appease her. They lived together, and he treated her like they were husband and wife.
He even held a wedding for her.
“My brother passed early. She just wants a wedding, nothing more. I will hold another one for you later.”
I stayed silent for a long time before replying.
“This is the 100th time you canceled our wedding for her.”
He couldn’t have cared less.
“When she feels better, I will come back to you.”
A week later, Vanessa texted me with fake generosity oozing from every word.
“Ryan has been with me for so long, I will be more generous this time and forgive you.”

That day, Ryan finally returned home with kiss marks all over his body.
Just then, the guard brought a letter. “Emma Torres, a letter from your husband just came in!”
***
Seeing the letter in the guard’s hand, the look on Ryan’s face changed.
He tilted his head and glanced over.
“What did he say?”
I took the letter and put it in my bag. “Nothing.”
He stared at me for a while, took my hand, and walked home. He cornered me as soon as he got in the door.
“Emma, we’ve known each other too long for me not to notice. You still haven’t dropped that habit of getting someone to put on an act just to piss me off when you’re mad?
“Okay, stop this, please. I’m back now, no?
“Don’t worry, there’s nothing between me and her. I only held a wedding with her to fulfill her dream.
“What happened back at that wedding banquet was my fault. I came back today to make up for it with you.”
“No need for that.”
I evaded his kiss.
“If you miss it, you miss it. There’s no need to make up for it.”
That wasn’t the first time the wedding had been canceled.

He slighted me right there and then, and now he tried to make amends.
But I had no intention of playing nice anymore.
Ryan didn’t take my words to heart at all and came over to hug me.
“It’s not a big deal. Vanessa has agreed to let us hold the wedding banquet again. Why are you still mad at her?
“Emma, you’re not going to be that petty, are you?
“Trust me, I’ve made all the arrangements this time. No one will come to mess things up. Let’s do this.”
He took my arm and smiled.
But I felt a chill in my heart.
My wedding banquet with him can only be held with the consent of his sister–in–law.
It seemed too ridiculous for me even to say it out loud.
I pulled my arm free and took a deep breath.
“Ryan, cancel the wedding.
“I have already filed a divorce report with the authorities.”
We have known each other and loved each other for eight years. I decided to just take it as if I were blind the whole time.
I thought we should just cut our losses.
After saying that, I took out the luggage that I had packed long ago.
But Ryan wore a gloomy look on his face and stopped in front of me.

“Emma, are you crazy?
“A few days ago, you were the one who cried and begged me not to leave. Now that I promise to hold the wedding banquet for you, this is how do you react to it?
“Don’t forget this! You can’t even stand here without me!”
My face turned cold, and I was about to speak.
That was when the phone in the room rang.
He walked over quickly, and the moment the call got through, his expression softened.
“Hello, Vanessa?”
It sounded like he was calling out to his lover.
Vanessa pretended to be mad. “Ryan, I’ve already set up the wedding banquet, and the guests are here. Why aren’t you here yet?”
“I’ll be there soon. Just chill.”
He persuaded the other person with a smile on his face and was extremely gentle.
He did the same to me once upon a time.
But now, when he looked at me again, the look in his eyes immediately turned cold.
“I don’t have time for this ruckus! Hurry up, we can’t keep Vanessa waiting!”
He reached out and pushed me out hard.

I stumbled, tripped over the threshold, and fell. My face hit the ground. My forehead and nose started bleeding instantly.
I was seeing stars from the pain.
Ryan seemed not to see any of it. He just asked the bodyguard to come in, drag me up, and put me into the car.
He also sat in and said, “Get to the InterContinental Hotel.”
He glared at me.
“Vanessa is kind enough to help us with the wedding banquet. Know your place.”
As he said this, he threw the clothes and gauze at my face.
“Handle it yourself. Don’t scare the guests or cause other people to misunderstand.”
