The Nineteenth and Final Vow

As the hidden genius behind the Sterling Group’s massive success, I spent three years masterminding eighteen campaigns from the shadows. For our anniversary, my husband, CEO Pablo Sterling, finally promised to introduce me as his wife. Instead, I arrived to find him hand-in-hand with socialite Sloane Davenport, who was publicly credited with my life's work. Threatened to stay quiet, I didn't shed a single tear. I only felt relief, knowing our secret marriage contract expires in just three days.

Chapter 3

Sloane watched from the side, the feigned concern on her face melting away, replaced by a flicker of pure triumph.

Seeing the smug smile she couldn't quite suppress, I half-expected her to burst out laughing.

Pablo frowned, his annoyance clear. "What's the big deal about making Sloane the muse? Do you have to be so dramatic?"

I offered him a thin smile. "I'm not angry."

"Is this some new trick to get my attention?" he sneered. "Fine. You can spend the night in the guest room. Maybe it will help you remember your place."

It was his standard punishment.

I didn't argue. I just turned and walked away. I spent the night in the cold, sterile guest room, the distant sound of his and Sloane's laughter drifting from the master bedroom.

At dawn, I received an unexpected call from my father.

"The Global Pioneer Design Competition is today," he said, his voice urgent. "What are you still doing there? You worked too hard to get selected just to miss it."

The design competition.

Right. I’d almost forgotten. A month ago, I had poured everything into my application, hoping that a strong showing might finally earn me a sliver of Pablo's respect.

I didn't need his validation anymore, but I wasn't about to let my hard work go to waste. I nodded, my resolve firm, and headed to the competition venue.

To escape an abusive ex who blacklisted her from every job in the city, Annabelle fled to New York with nothing but her late grandfather's secret marriage token. Destitute, she was unexpectedly taken in by the ultra-wealthy Barrera family. Meeting their sweet, handsome nephew, Davion, she naturally assumed he was her arranged fiancé. Seeing that Davion already had a girlfriend he loved, Annabelle felt a deep sense of guilt about the secret contract. Sitting in his passenger seat one morning, she confessed her true identity and offered to help him secretly break the marriage alliance. But Davion just looked at her in sheer panic. "What engagement?" Before Annabelle could explain, his phone accidentally went on speaker. A low, terrifyingly calm voice echoed through the car. It was Jasper Barrera—the ruthless, cold-blooded head of the family, and the terrifying tyrant Annabelle had accidentally offended in the estate's greenhouse just days ago. He had heard every single word of her plan to break the sacred family trust. Davion's face went completely ashen as he hastily pulled the car over, his hands shaking violently on the steering wheel. "Anna," he whispered, looking like he had just seen a ghost. "Who do you think you are engaged to?" That was when the horrifying realization crushed the air out of her lungs. She wasn't engaged to the sweet nephew. She was engaged to the monster.
