Chapter 1When the Heiress Reclaimed Her Crown

My husband is the top gynecologist in the city, but he vanished for three days and three nights to care for his secretary who claimed to have depression while I was hemorrhaging during childbirth.

Later, intimate photos of the two of them spread throughout the entire city.

Liam knelt by my hospital bed, his face swollen red from slapping himself.

"Jenna, I was drunk that night and mistook her for you. I deserve to die."

To prove his innocence, he grabbed a scalpel and stabbed it into his own chest. Blood gushed out.

I watched him confess with this insane performance and gave him one last chance.

Until Sophie, his secretary, and I were both held hostage in a remote warehouse.

"Jenna, you grew up in elite European schools. You're strong—just hold on a little longer! Sophie can't take it. She'll lose her mind!"

Liam roared as he begged the kidnappers on his knees. The high-altitude wind chilled me to the bone.

But Liam didn't know that these five years were just a gamble I made with my family.

If I won, I'd spend my life with him.

If I lost, I'd return to the Rivers family and inherit the fortune.
