Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 1 I Don't Want Money

Selena Fair woke up, only to find the man beside her still asleep. Enduring the discomfort between her legs, she got out of bed. Just as she was about to pick up the clothes scattered on the floor, a cold voice came from behind her. "How much do you want?" he remarked in an indifferent tone, sounding nothing like the guy who cooed dirty talk in her ear last night.

Selena paused, feeling absurd.

After three years of marriage, her husband didn't even know who she was. Three years ago, she accidentally saved Cassius Montague, the patriarch of the Montague family, from death. At that time, her father's company encountered difficulties during its first round of financing. So Cassius offered her a deal: if Selena married his grandson Raymond Montague, he would invest three billion dollars into her dad's business.

Raymond never appeared during their marriage ceremony, and it wasn't until she received her marriage certificate that Selena found out he had gone abroad.

Since then, she'd been dubbed as "Mrs. Montague Who Never Was."

She never expected their first encounter to take place in a bed, of all places.

That was right, her "one-night stand" was her husband, who hadn't even met her before.

Selena struggled to put on her clothes, her head spinning from the hangover.

"I don't want money," she managed to say, her voice wavering.
