Chapter 1My fiancé's childhood sweetheart returned from abroad, and the first thing she did was make a bet with me, Samantha.The agreement stated that if my fiancé, Ethan, left me nine times for her,I would willingly give up my position as his wife.I agreed.On the ninth time, his childhood sweetheart, Willow, cried, "Ethan, if you don't marry me, I'll marry that spoiled rich kid from the Johnston family in the city!"He frantically hung up the phone, abandoned me yet again, stole his family's household registration book, and got married to Willow.That day, they announced their relationship on social media, and everyone in our circle eagerly awaited to see me and the Johnstons make fools of ourselves.Then, Jaxon Johnston approached me, saying casually,"Your fiancé stole my wife, so it's only fair that you become my wife, right?"I nodded. "Fair. When are you getting married?"His jaw dropped. He stared at me for a long time, his ears turning red."Since you don't have any objections, it's settled then.""We're getting married in three days. If you dare to run away, you're dead!"He said this as he ran off, bumping into people and knocking over ornaments, in a panic as if I were going to eat him alive.I let my fingers glide across the piano keys, a slight smile playing on my lips.As soon as Jaxon left, Ethan arrived.I glanced at him, then coldly looked away. His face turned pale, and he rushed towards me. "Samantha, are you angry?""I can explain. Willow is timid; if she marries that womanizer, Jaxon Johnston, her life will be ruined. I can't just watch her jump into the fire."So, he broke his promise to me and married her.But even if he hadn't married her, him leaving me for her a ninth time meant there was no future for us.I said calmly, "You should go. Now that you're married, I don't need to deal with the breakup."Ethan frowned, looking at me even more anxiously."Samantha, Willow and I are only married in name. I only married her to help her out of trouble.""I promise you, I only see her as a sister, I'll never touch her!""And Willow and I have agreed that we'll divorce in six months, then she'll go abroad. I'll have to ask you to bear with it for this time and let’s have a secret relationship. Don't worry, I'll marry you.""Please don't make things difficult for her. Get along with her peacefully."I understand his concern for Willow, but why does he have the audacity to ask me to go from his girlfriend to his mistress, and wait for him unconditionally for six months?Even if I wanted to, my parents wouldn't let me degrade myself.I said softly, "A woman from the Stevens family would never marry a divorced man."Ethan's face darkened. "Divorced man? You know I won't betray you, why say such hurtful things? Besides, I'm only her husband in name, but my heart belongs to you.""We can have a secret relationship, and everyone will think you're my real wife. Why can't you understand? Do you have to watch Willow fall into the pit of fire before you're satisfied?...
