Meagan took her sister's place and married someone without a penny to his name. Thinking that her husband was nothing more than a poor man, she figured she'd have to live the rest of her life humbly. Little did she know that her new husband, Zayden, was actually the most powerful and mysterious business magnate in the city. As soon as she heard a rumor about this, Meagan ran back to her cramped apartment rental and threw herself into the arms of her husband. "They all say you're the powerful Mr. Friedman. Is that true?" He stroked her hair gently. "We just look alike, that's all." Meagan stuck out her lip in a cute pout. "But that man insists that I'm his wife. It's so frustrating. Honey, beat him up for me, will you?" The following day, Mr. Friedman showed up at his company with bruises on his face. Everyone was dumbfounded. What on earth had happened to their CEO? He smiled. "My wife gave the order, so I had no choice but to obey."

Chapter 1 Substitute Bride

Meagan Allison walked into the house of the Allison family, feeling uneasy.

She was an illegitimate daughter, and she had been living with her mother and brother somewhere else for many years. This was her first time here.

Her father, stepmother, and half-sister, Winona Allison, were sitting on the sofa and waiting for her.

"You're finally here." Disgusted, Meagan's stepmother looked at her, raising her eyebrows. "Take off your dusty overcoat and hang it by the door. Don't get our house dirty."

Meagan's father ignored her and her mother for many years. But two days ago, he suddenly contacted her and asked her to marry someone on behalf of Winona.

The Allison family and the Whitman family had been friends for generations. They had agreed that Winona would marry Zayden Whitman. However, the Whitman family had declined and hidden in a small village. It was said that Zayden was a gangster and had been arrested several times.

Of course, Winona would never agree to marry such a poor man. But the agreement had to be fulfilled, so the Allison family had to ask Meagan to replace Winona in marrying that man. After all, she was only an illegitimate daughter.

Meagan could still remember her father's words when he called her that day. He said coldly, "Meg, think it over. As long as you agree to marry Zayden, I will give you a sum of money you can use to treat your mother's illness."

Meagan didn't sleep the whole night, thinking it over thoroughly. The next day, she agreed.

After all, she had no other choice. She needed the money to treat her mother's illness and send her brother to school.

That was why she came to meet with the Allison family today.

Meagan stood at the door and took a deep breath.

"I want to talk about the marriage."

Her stepmother got very impatient. "What else do you want to talk about? The deal is already good enough for you. You're still being ungrateful?"

This time, Winona chimed in arrogantly, "You're suited to marry that man. Anyway, your mother has slept with many men, and your brother is also a bastard. A woman like you only deserves to marry a rogue."

Winona's words were so harsh that Meagan's face turned pale. Her eyes were slightly red because of anger.

Her father pretended not to hear anything. He waved his hand and said, "As I told you, I will give you a large amount of money if you agree to marry Zayden. That's all. There's nothing else you need to know, so there's no need to talk about it more."

Meagan was still worried, but she had to suppress it. She was powerless against her father.

She had no choice but to prepare for the wedding alone.

On the day before the wedding, a typhoon struck the city. Billboards and trees were blown down and could be seen everywhere on the streets. Despite this mess, Meagan's wedding was pushed through.

There was no luxurious bridal car to pick her up. She walked a long way before she got in an unremarkable van. It took a long time to reach the village. Her shoes and wedding dress got muddy as she walked.

Elderly people had a belief that someone who got married in such weather would not have a happy married life.

But Meagan didn't care about her happiness long ago.

Her husband's house was in the village. The house was dilapidated, and rain leaked in from some holes.

Actually, there was no ceremony for this so-called wedding. It seemed that her husband was also unwilling to marry her.

Meagan was so nervous that her body tensed up. She kept her head down, not daring to look at her husband.

After she entered the room, her husband went to the bathroom to take a shower. She was left sitting at the edge of the bed. She kept this posture for so long that her back stiffened. And she was still wearing her wedding dress.

"It's late. Go to bed now."

His deep and charming voice suddenly brought Meagan back to her senses. She looked up and met his deep-set eyes filled with unpredictable emotions.

Meagan held the hemline of her wedding dress nervously, and her heartbeat went abnormally fast.

When she saw his wet hair from taking a shower, she realized that she would spend their wedding night with him tonight.

My world revolved around Jax Harding, my older brother's captivating rockstar friend. From sixteen, I adored him; at eighteen, I clung to his casual promise: "When you're 22, maybe I'll settle down." That offhand comment became my life's beacon, guiding every choice, meticulously planning my twenty-second birthday as our destiny. But on that pivotal day in a Lower East Side bar, clutching my gift, my dream exploded. I overheard Jax' s cold voice: "Can't believe Savvy's showing up. She' s still hung up on that stupid thing I said." Then the crushing plot: "We' re gonna tell Savvy I' m engaged to Chloe, maybe even hint she' s pregnant. That should scare her off." My gift, my future, slipped from my numb fingers. I fled into the cold New York rain, devastated by betrayal. Later, Jax introduced Chloe as his "fiancée" while his bandmates mocked my "adorable crush"-he did nothing. As an art installation fell, he saved Chloe, abandoning me to severe injury. In the hospital, he came for "damage control," then shockingly shoved me into a fountain, leaving me to bleed, calling me a "jealous psycho."

Was I just a problem, my loyalty met with hatred? I would not be his victim. Injured and betrayed, I made an unshakeable vow: I was done. I blocked his number and everyone connected to him, severing ties. This was not an escape; this was my rebirth. Florence awaited, a new life on my terms, unburdened by broken promises.
