The Substitute Wife's Sweet Escape

For three years, I was a substitute for my twin sister, married to the powerful Donovan Blackwood. It was a contract. My payment for enduring his coldness was fifty million dollars and my freedom.

But my husband had a woman he truly loved, Chloe Sanders.

At her request, he pushed me into the freezing ocean.

When we both fell from a yacht, he screamed for the rescuers to save her first, leaving me to drown.

He even traded me to a torturer to get her back.

Through it all, I endured. Not for love, but for the money. He mistook my silence for devotion, my endurance for love.

He never realized that every cruel act didn't break my heart, it just ticked down the clock on my sentence.

Now, the contract is over. The fifty million dollars is in my account.

I left the wedding ring on his pillow and walked away without a backward glance.

I thought it was the end. But I underestimated his obsession. He's just now realizing the truth, and he's coming for me. He thinks he can apologize. He thinks he can get me back.
