Delia's first love became her brother-in-law. To avoid a scandal, her family kept setting her up on blind dates. She heard that billionaire Elijah had a popular game called the "Three-Month Lover." In order to escape her family's matchmaking, she entered a three-month contract relationship with the notorious playboy. Delia cautiously asked him, "Why do you want to marry me?" "Delia, you are my destiny." Delia blinked. Elijah leisurely closed the file in his hands and said, "So, to keep things fair, we get married. Now that you're officially Mrs. Johnson, I'll also be the one who stays with you the longest." Delia: "..." That actually sounds absurd. Before meeting Elijah, Delia believed she would never fall in love again. After marrying Elijah, Delia was even more certain she never would.
The airport was bustling with people, and a sweet female voice echoed over the intercom, announcing flight schedules.
As the plane from California landed in City A, passengers flooded out in a hurry.
A slender girl emerged from the terminal, dragging her suitcase behind her. She wore a T-shirt with English letters printed on it, paired with dark blue pencil pants. Her naturally wavy hair was tied into a ponytail.
With fair skin, a tall and slender figure, and an aura of cleanliness and serenity, she stood out in the crowd.
John, who had come to pick her up, spotted her immediately and quickly stepped forward to take her suitcase. "Second Young Lady."
Delia glanced around. Besides John, there was no one else there to greet her. A faint, self-mocking smile appeared on her lips.
Perhaps she had been abroad for too long-so long that no one even remembered she existed.
But that was fine. There was still plenty of time ahead.
Once they left the airport, Delia got into the car and closed her eyes to rest. John placed her suitcase in the trunk, then got into the driver's seat. Looking at her resting figure through the rearview mirror, he hesitated.
Before he came, the eldest young lady had instructed him to take Delia to the Anderson family for dinner. However, he still needed to ask for her opinion.
Seeing that she had closed her eyes, he assumed she was asleep and chose not to speak. He started the car and merged into the traffic.
After a more than ten-hour flight, Delia felt drowsy as soon as she got into the car. However, it wasn't long before she was startled awake by the sharp blaring of car horns.
Noticing that the car was at a standstill, she glanced out the window. They were in the heart of the bustling city. Crowds filled the lively streets, and towering skyscrapers gleamed magnificently under the sunlight.
Rubbing her weary eyes, she asked, "Uncle John, what's going on?"
John glanced at her through the rearview mirror. "Second Young Lady, this road is always congested. You should get some rest. I'll wake you when we arrive."
Delia was a light sleeper. Once awakened, she found it difficult to fall asleep again.
The cars ahead moved in a stop-and-go fashion, inching forward every now and then.
After about half an hour, Delia had completely lost her patience. When she saw an opening in the traffic, she instructed John to overtake the vehicles ahead.
John had been the Martinez family's driver for years and had excellent driving skills. Following Delia's suggestion, he skillfully maneuvered past several cars.
However, another Maybach also seemed to be in a hurry and was frequently switching lanes. John miscalculated and accidentally rear-ended it.
Luckily, the speed wasn't high, and no one was injured-only the other vehicle was damaged.
John's face turned pale with fear, and he stammered, "S-Second Young Lady... what do we do?"
The owner of the car was clearly someone of high status. Judging by the unique license plate, it was obvious that this was not a person to be trifled with.
Delia furrowed her brows slightly, pursed her lips, and stepped out of the car. She walked forward and knocked on the window of the other vehicle.
The man in the driver's seat had just unfastened his seatbelt, preparing to get out and inspect the damage. Hearing the knock, he looked up at Delia through the glass.
Slowly, he rolled down the window. Before he could say anything, Delia spoke first. "Do you have a pen and paper?"
Alan was caught off guard. He stared at her in confusion until Delia repeated her request. Only then did he snap out of his daze and hand her a pen and paper.
From the rearview mirror, he had seen her getting out of the car behind them-she was clearly the one responsible for the accident.
Delia swiftly wrote down a phone number and a name.
The number was engraved in her memory. Even after three years, she could still recite it backward.
The gentle twilight cast a soft glow on Alexander's face. His striking features seemed sculpted by the gods. He was the same age as Sunny's dad, Lucas, and yet why was Alexander so gorgeous and young? Sunny had always believed her father Lucas was already impossibly handsome. But compared to Alexander, her dad suddenly seemed dimmed. "Uncle Alexander, what are you doing here?" Alexander replied gently, "Waiting for someone."Sunny tilted her head. "Who are you waiting for?"Alexander said softly, "Someone who may never come." There was a faint sadness in his eyes as he spoke, and something about it pierced Sunny' s heart. A wave of sorrow surged through her, tightening her throat and bringing tears. Sunny asked, "If the one is never coming back, why keep waiting?"Alexander looked at her and said seriously, "Because I promised her I would." Alexander then asked, "Sunny, have you ever fallen in love with someone?"Sunny answered,"Nope. My dad doesn't let me date early."Alexander smiled faintly."I did. I fell in love young."Sunny looked at him curiously, and Alexander added with a subtle smile,"Loving her was the happiest thing in my life. She means my world." Before turning twenty, Sunny had always been the apple of her billionaire father Lucas's eyes, until he was ruined overnight by his nemesis, trillionaire Alexander, the cold-blooded rising king of Chicago. Not only did this ruthless tycoon destroy Lucas's corporation, he even took Lucas's daughter Sunny back to his luxurious mansion...Then came an accident, and Sunny was back to the time when her father Lucas was still a teenager. She watched, stunned, as her father laughed wildly, hanging out with a group of reckless boys. And there he was, gripping Alexander by the collar, patting his cheek,"Admit it, Alexander, you lost, huh?" Everyone at school knew there were two people you couldn't mess with. Lucas, the heir to a powerful family, arrogant, fierce, born to be bad; Alexander, stunning, silent, stoic, with fists as hard as steel and bones even harder. They were sworn enemies. Lately, the school prince Lucas had a teenage girl trailing behind him, named Sunny, who looked 90% like him, always following in his footsteps. One day, Lucas, completely exasperated, shoved some cash into her hands. Lucas, "This is the last time. Stop following me. We are almost the same age. I can never be your dad!" Sunny was in tears, "Dad..." After that, Sunny really stopped following him. And Lucas found himself weirdly missing Sunny. Until he saw his archenemy Alexander pinning Sunny to the wall, asking coldly, "Do you like me?"Sunny blushed. "Y-yes... I do." Lucas gaped. His Sunny, dated with his nemesis Alexander? He was so furious he nearly exploded. Alexander smirked, "Admit it, Lucas, Sunny likes me, not you." Lucas, "..."

When Diana was in danger, she wielded a gun, stepping on her enemy with a dazzling smile, "Be good, and I'll give you a quick death." When her loved ones fell ill, the legendary medical master personally visited and admitted-she was Diana's senior disciple! The renowned racing legend willingly became Diana's personal driver, calling her "Boss" at every turn. Alex's subordinates were in utter disbelief, "Wasn't she supposed to be a weak little white flower, a soft and obedient golden canary?!" But Alex wasn't entirely dead. When his consciousness awakened, he found himself soul-bound to a plush doll-one that Diana had designed in his likeness. Now, he not only had to endure being dressed and undressed by Diana but also be at her mercy, bathed and squeezed in her hands... Watching her reveal one hidden identity after another, Alex was utterly dumbfounded. Even the woman he admired and respected the most-was her?! [Mini Theater 1] Alex, now in plush doll form, was held against Diana's soft, snowy chest as she stood before a mirror. Staring at his own ridiculously extravagant appearance, his expression cracked- "Is this really how she sees me in her heart?!" Diana's fingers teasingly unfastened his tiny clothes, one button at a time. Alex shut his eyes, his mind filled with only one thought- "I want to die." [Mini Theater 2] Diana stared at the dust-covered plush doll, frowning, "My doll is precious-I have to wash it myself." Alex's inner monologue, "Stay away from me!" After an intense round of scrubbing and kneading, his soul burned with shame, his spirit flushed red, on the verge of tears. Diana, completely satisfied, gave him a kiss-he turned even redder... They said Alex had a cleanliness obsession, high standards, and was impossible to please. But now? He felt that... maybe staying dirty wasn't so bad after all. [Mini Theater 3] Once back in his real body, Alex trapped Diana against the wall, his gaze burning as he questioned, "You took so much advantage of me, destroyed my innocence-how are you going to repay me?" Diana's eyes gleamed mischievously. "That bad, huh? How about you cry for me first?" Alex, "..."
"Rose, do you have to be this shameless?" He yanked her hair tighter, forcing her to lift her face. She stared straight into his eyes and let out a cold laugh. "Yeah, I'm shameless. But what, you think you're any better? Talking about marriage one minute and pounding into me like crazy the next. We're just a pair of filthy lovers, aren't we? So stop pretending to be so righteous!" Alexander is aloof and arrogant; she is wild and unrestrained. For revenge, she meticulously approaches him, shamelessly flirts with him, and cunningly schemes against him. She disrupts his engagement party, drives away his first love, and repeatedly steps on his bottom line. One late night, he corners her against the wall.

She had always known what he wanted. She had always known how to provoke his anger, make him compromise, lure him into indulgence, make him lose himself-until he became a puppet of her.
