Chapter 1
Snap! A loud slap echoed across the room, landing harshly on Freya Dawson's face, followed by the frantic tearing of her beautiful wedding dress.
"Damn it! The big boss of the Sutton Group can't even fork over five million for ransom? I've been busting my ass for days haven't gotten anything out of it. I'll make you pay!" As the kidnapper spoke, he pinned Freya down relentlessly. Gazing at Freya's soft, smooth skin, the kidnapper showed no mercy, ripping off the last piece of fabric that preserved her dignity. "But hey, getting to fuck Kieran Sutton's wife, the top socialite of Echo City, isn't a bad deal, after all!"
"No... please, I'm Kieran's wife! The lady of the Sutton family! Please let me call him. He'll pay the ransom!" Freya struggled desperately, hope and pleading in her eyes.

Hearing that, Freya turned pale.
She thought, 'Kieran married Eloise? No! That can't be true! Our wedding was supposed to be just three days ago! I wouldn't have been kidnapped if I hadn't waited in vain for Kieran's wedding car. I have only been missing for three days. How could Kieran marry Eloise?' Freya retorted, "No... you're lying!"
"Am I? Take a good look!" The kidnapper grabbed a remote from the floor, turning on the TV.
On the screen, Eloise, wearing a wedding dress, was standing at what was supposed to be her wedding venue with Kieran.
