Chapter 1

Everyone in Jelasburg knew that Jeffrey Hanson had pampered Rebecca Jensen, the fallen heiress, turning her into a woman who Ved only for him.

He’d kept her tucked away at home since their wedding five years ago, where she lived in his shadow.

always available, always obedient.

Divorce was an option for anyone in the world–except for Rebecca. Of this, Jeffrey was absolutely

certain.

“You’re really going to provide for Andrea indefinitely? What about Rebecca?” The voice from the private room made Rebecca freeze, her hand still on the door, her face tightening.

“She’s just my mistress. Rebecca will always be my wife, There’s no conflict.” Jeffrey’s voice drifted out, smooth and unconcerned as always, each word hitting Rebecca like a physical blow.

She forced herself to steady her stance as a sharp pain spread throughout her chest.

They had been married for five years. He had done everything to prove his devotion and whispered every word she longed to hear. It never crossed her mind that all this time, he had been keeping

another woman.

And that woman was Andrea Sampson–the one person she couldn’t stand. The irony cut deep.

“Would Rebecca ever agree to that?” the first person continued.

“She’s obedient. She’ll understand quickly. Besides, she can’t afford to say no,” Jeffrey said, his tone

casual and dismissive.

Rebecca’s lips curved into a humorless smile. Her knuckles went pale as she clenched the door handle. Then she pushed the door open, and the lively atmosphere in the private room came to an abrupt halt.

Jeffrey sat at the end of the table, his white shirt stark against the moody lighting. He looked untouchable and flawless, like someone fate had always smiled upon.

When Rebecca walked in, Jeffrey’s expression tightened almost imperceptibly before easing. He gestured casually for her to come closer. “Come here,” he said, the words smooth and commanding, as if he was calling a pet to heel.

Rebecca stood perfectly still, her voice steady as she said, “I heard every word you just said.”

“It was just a joke, Rebecca,” one man quickly assured her. “You shouldn’t take it seriously.”
