On her wedding night, Chloe's hubby takes off with his mistress. But does she cry? Nope! She scoops herself up a drop-dead gorgeous boy toy. Why not live a little? Mr. Eye Candy is all broad shoulders, slim waist, and oozes irresistible charm. For three wild years, their carefree life is a nonstop party. Then one day, Chloe hands this hunky boy toy a fat check, "Babe, my husband will be back. I think it’s time we called it quits." But the boy toy goes ballistic, "Chloe, are you trying to dump me? Do you have any idea who I am?" Chloe doesn't even bother to reply. She disappears after leaving the cheque behind. Not long after, she and her husband score an invite to an extravagant birthday banquet, hosted by none other than the nation's richest man. Here, she comes face to face with the imposing King of Eldridge. He looks exactly like her ex boy toy, the one she'd been with for the past three years. Woah! Chloe is in a pickle, and it looks like she has unwittingly stirred a mighty storm. Buckle up. This could get bumpy.

Chapter 1"Another round?" His voice was low and smooth, almost hypnotic, with an undercurrent of lingering desire.Chloe glanced at the floor, taking in the sight of lace lingerie tangled with a suit, her torn dress, and high heels scattered under the sofa. Everything told the story of the wild passion that had just unfolded."Nah, I'm exhausted," Chloe declined.His stamina seemed to be on the rise. Just now, she had nearly begged for mercy.Despite her words, her hand couldn't resist trailing over his chiseled abs. He caught her wandering hand, his voice filled with unsatisfied longing but still magnetic. "Don't tease me. I might not be able to hold back."Chloe laughed, her face already striking, now even more so. Her dark eyes sparkled like stars, her lips red like fire, and her thick waves cascaded down her glowing back, making her skin look like a piece of art. A lazy smile tugged at her lips, highlighting the tiny beauty mark near her eye, enchanting like a siren's call.As he watched her lounging like a cat in his arms, he felt the urge to devour her again."Don't be so stingy. I'll miss this when I can't have it anymore," Chloe teased, still smiling.Suddenly, his expression stiffened, his demeanor cooling instantly. "What do you mean?"Chloe sat up, tossing off the blanket and quickly getting dressed. She pulled a check from her purse and walked over to him."Babe, here's five million as compensation. And you can keep the villa, too."She placed the check in his hand. But he showed no joy at receiving such a generous gift."Chloe, what do you mean?" His voice was dangerously low. He was clearly struggling to keep his anger in check.Chloe’s face remained calm. She soothingly pinched his chin and gave him a kiss. "My husband is back. It wouldn’t be appropriate for me to keep this up. Let's end it here."The man's face darkened even more.Chloe pecked his lips lightly. "Don’t be sad. If you ever run into trouble, you can still call me."Then, Chloe picked up her purse and walked out of the room. She hadn't taken many steps before hearing something smash inside.Chloe didn’t stop, just let out a wistful laugh. He had been her trophy boy for three years. There was no true love, only a facade. Still, such an abrupt breakup was indeed hard to accept.Leaving the villa, Chloe drove straight to the airport. Her husband, Lucas, had taken his mistress abroad for three years and was now returning under family pressure."Chloe, although we were childhood sweethearts and dated for two years, I have no feelings for you."I only love Linda. If it weren't for my grandfather's coercion, I would never have married you.""I won't touch you. That's my promise to Linda."All I can offer you is the title of my wife. Feel free to find a boyfriend if you can't stand the loneliness. I won't interfere, but you must not meddle in my affairs with Linda."These were the words Lucas had said on their wedding night. Though three years had passed, Chloe remembered every word clearly.The Meadows and the Moncada families had been close for generations, their friendship spanning three generations. Chloe was born into the Meadows family, while the Moncada family had a son. From birth, their marriage was arranged, and to foster a bond, they were made to play together from a young age, even spending holidays at each other’s homes.Their relationship had always been good, naturally evolving into dating during their university years.Their lives went on this way until Linda came between them.Ironically, Chloe herself had nudged Lucas towards Linda. Linda was their high school classmate. She came from a modest background and was naturally timid, but her grades were excellent. As the only scholarship student at their prestigious school, Linda was like a gentle rabbit thrown among wolves and was often bullied by privileged kids.Chloe had always stood up for her, even getting into fights to protect her. They became best friends and later ended up at the same university. Being Chloe's high school "bestie," Linda also got to know Lucas well. But back then, there were no sparks between them.During their sophomore year summer, Chloe and Lucas signed up for a university-organized camp. Just before the trip, Chloe sprained her ankle and gave her spot to Linda. Lucas didn't want to go without Chloe, but she insisted he go, worried that Linda would be bullied without her presence. So, Lucas went to look after Linda. And that led to something more.That summer, Chloe faced the toughest time of her life. Her half-sister Lisa had returned to the family. At Chloe's lowest point, Lucas broke up with her, saying he wanted to be with Linda. Chloe couldn't handle the back-to-back blows. She tried to end her life but survived, leading to unexpected turns.Lucas’ parents, Antonio and Tara, who had always seen her as their future daughter-in-law, were heartbroken. His grandfather Joshua, leveraging family shares, forced Lucas to marry Chloe. But less than two months later, Lucas applied for an exchange program at Yale and left for the States, taking Linda with him.Three years flew by...Soon, Chloe's car pulled up outside the airport. Her thoughts snapped back to the present. Joshua had asked her to pick up Lucas today. Chloe checked her watch—perfect timing.Looking up, she saw Lucas pushing his luggage trolley, walking out from the terminal. He’s dressed in a white shirt and black trousers, his handsome features and graceful demeanor exuding the elegance of someone from a distinguished family. His usually gentle face hardened when he saw Chloe.Chloe smiled, opened the car door, and walked towards him. "Hey hubby, long time no see. How’s it going?"Her voice was melodious and inviting, with a touch of playful seductiveness that was hard to resist. Even passersby couldn't help but steal glances, envying the man she greeted.Lucas' frown deepened. Chloe looked stunning today as if she had dressed up just for him. She looked different from three years ago. Back then, without makeup, she was like the cute girl next door. Now, with flawless makeup and soft waves in her hair, dressed in designer clothes, she exuded a lazy luxury."Don't call me that," Lucas' voice was icy.He glanced at the woman in white beside him. Chloe had noticed her before getting out of the car. Linda had returned with him. Dressed in a loose, white cotton dress, Linda wore no makeup, but her petite face and naturally shy, innocent eyes were still incredibly touching.Her one hand clung to Lucas' arm, and the other rested on her slightly rounded belly. The gesture was clear.Chloe smiled and asked, "Linda, are you pregnant?"Linda's face went ghostly pale in an instant. Unease was written all over her features. She quickly apologized, “Chloe, I’m sorry. It was just an accident.” Her eyes welled up with tears, hovering on the brink but never quite falling, as if she had been gravely wronged. It was almost comical.Chloe’s expression didn't change much; she was still smiling as she said, “Well, congratulations to you both.” To an outsider, it might've looked like a sincere congratulations between friends, but Chloe knew how deeply ironic her words were. After three years, she was no longer the naive girl she once was.“Chloe, can I... keep the baby?” Linda’s voice was cautious, almost pleading. Predictably, it worked wonders on Lucas.“Linda, you don’t need to explain anything to her. This child is ours. Do we really need her permission?” Lucas snapped, glaring at Chloe as if she’d done something terrible to Linda, when all Chloe had done was say congratulations.“Not at all. We’re all family here. If this were the old days, having children to carry on the family legacy would be a noble deed. Once the kid is born, they should call me ‘mom,’ right?”“Chloe, what are you talking about?” Lucas' anger was palpable. Chloe laughed even harder. “Oh, come on, it’s just a joke. Why so serious? Grandpa asked me to take you to the family estate. Are you coming with me or staying with her?”Lucas hesitated for a few seconds, then loaded his suitcase into Chloe’s trunk. “Let’s go to the Eldridge Hotel first.”Chloe complied and dropped the two off at the hotel entrance. It took Lucas about half an hour to get Linda settled. Then, he got back into Chloe’s car, choosing to sit in the backseat, keeping his distance.As the car merged back into city traffic, Chloe couldn't help but throw another jab. “If you care so much about her, why make her stay in a hotel? Especially now that she’s pregnant. At least you could’ve offered a mansion.”Lucas’ voice was cold, simmering with suppressed anger. “Chloe, are you doing this on purpose?”Chloe’s laughter was uncontrollable. “Oh, I’m sorry. I forgot you don’t own any property to your name.”The Moncada family had always seen Chloe as Lucas’ future wife. Since she was in kindergarten, they had been buying properties in her name. Chloe had no fewer than a hundred properties, including over a dozen mansions and countless storefronts. Lucas, on the other hand, owned nothing.However, Lucas was still the Moncada family's sole heir, and all Moncada International shares were in his name. From the beginning, Lucas had been watching Chloe. Her smile never wavered. They had grown up together, and no one knew her better than he did. Despite her cheerful facade, she was very vindictive. Seeing Linda pregnant must have infuriated her, prompting her sarcastic tone and barbs. Or maybe she was using the Moncada family's wealth to manipulate him. Lucas watched Chloe with a mix of disdain and frustration.“Chloe, stop bullying Linda. And don’t even think about me coming back to you. I won’t fight over the Moncada assets that were given to you. Consider it compensation. But if you expect more, don’t say I didn’t warn you. I’ll even take back the title of Mrs. Moncada from you.”Chloe’s demeanor shifted, her face growing serious. “Lucas, let’s get a divorce.”No, to be precise, it should be a breakup.Chapter 2"Another round?"
