I was the Zimmerman family's daughter, the one everyone in the kingdom called a fool for love. After I schemed my way into marrying General Zimmerman, he showed up on our wedding day with another woman, declaring he wanted her as his second wife. That woman was the Zimmerman family's second daughter, switched at birth, who had lived in my place for fifteen years. Now, she was clinging to my husband, crying her eyes out and begging me to let them be together. All eyes were on me; they were waiting for my reaction. Even my parents were signaling for me to accept. So I gave them exactly what they wanted. "Fine," I said. "Take her in. But in return, I will take a companion of my own. A woman should not have to lie alone at night." I pointed casually to a driver standing among the servants and smiled, watching their faces. My husband, Jayson Zimmerman, thought I was just being spiteful. "Very well," he sneered. "I agree. But tonight, do not dare ruin our wedding night with your tears." Jayson had no idea. I had been waiting for this day for a very long time.
