Chapter 1

I helped Ethan Cole build his empire from the ground up, but right before our wedding, he confessed he was in love with my half-sister, Chloe.

I agreed to break up, but on one condition: he had to help me win over his business rival, Dominic Vance.

"Are you insane? You've been chasing me for ten years and never got me. Is this your way of getting back at me?" Ethan's handsome face was etched with disbelief.

I retorted defiantly, "Dominic is taller and hotter than you. I stopped loving you ages ago; now I'm crazy about him!"

Ethan laughed, calling me delusional. "Everyone knows Dominic Vance is completely out of everyone's league. No woman has ever managed to get close to him."

"So you have to figure it out! If you help me win him over, I'll sign away my inheritance rights and hand over our billion-dollar empire to you and Chloe." I turned away, pretending to be nonchalant, but tears instantly streamed down my face.

Of course, I knew the chances of getting Dominic Vance were zero. I just wanted a mutually destructive way to release all this tangled, unspoken love and pain.

But to my absolute shock, Dominic Vance took my hand under everyone's watchful eyes and asked, "What date are we getting married?"
