Summary
After my father passed away, he didn’t leave me an inheritance, but rather two candidates for marriage.
On the day I was supposed to marry one of them, Felix, he eloped overnight with our housekeeper’s daughter.
Left with no other choice, his younger brother, Beckett, took his place.
On our wedding night, I hid out on the balcony and cried secretly because I missed my dad.
Beckett kicked the door open. His eyes and lips were full of mockery. “Are you really that heartbroken to be marrying me instead of Felix?”
Over the next five years, he brought a different woman home every week.
I swallowed the bitterness in my heart and did my best to be a good wife to him.
Until today, when the woman by his side hadn’t changed in four months, my heart sank.
She clung to his arm. “Beckett, your wife looks a little upset.”
Beckett looked at me expressionlessly and let out a scoff.
“My wife? She doesn’t even want to be. The person she’s always wanted is the one in the house across the street.”
