Chapter 1

On my 24th birthday, my father asked which of the Sterling brothers I'd choose.

But I shook my head, refusing both.

Last time around, I spent forty million dollars to buy Liam the land parcel he'd always wanted, intending it as my wedding proposal.

Yet, he publicly ripped up the contract, trampling the papers underfoot, and spat: "I promised your father I'd marry you, but don't expect me to love you!"

Under the mocking gazes of everyone present, I turned away, humiliated, and shoved the engagement ring onto his brother Noah's hand.

The wedding went ahead as planned.

But no one knew that for three years of marriage, he never once touched me.

He also seized my assets and gifted them to that wretched woman I'd sponsored.

Reborn, facing the same question, I told my father:

"I remember the Vance heir is quite handsome. Why not him?"

My father gasped, a sharp intake of breath.

"Julian Vance? He was framed by his illegitimate half-brother and has been in a vegetative state for ages. You want to choose him?"
