Once His Wife, Now The Heir’s Beloved

Synopsis

My husband, Edward Shaw, came to me one night with a request that shattered whatever faith I had left in our marriage. His first love, Clara, was dying, and to fulfill her "final wish", he wanted us to get a fake divorce. "When Clara's gone, we'll get married again," he said with calm certainty, as if it were nothing more than a temporary arrangement. It hit me then—six years of marriage, eight years of love, and none of it mattered once she got that diagnosis. When he came back later, full of regret and begging me to start over, I was already standing beside another man, my hand in his, smiling as if none of it had ever hurt. "Sorry," I said softly, "I'm already married." Lucas Riley—the most powerful man in Briston's elite circle—glanced at him with cool indifference. "She is the daughter of the Grant family," he said, his tone calm and cutting. "And you think you deserve a second chance, Mr. Shaw?"
