The love Edward Abend gives me is only a tenth of what he gives Daisy Neal. He gives me one set of jewelry but gives her ten sets. He throws me a wedding and throws her ten parties to celebrate them becoming an item. After being intimate with me once, he does it with her ten times. I think I'll endure this until the end of time for the sake of my family. However, Edward brings Daisy to me one day and says, "Daisy is pregnant. I want you to pretend to be pregnant, too. Once the child is born, we'll act like it's yours. Then, the child will be Abend Group's proper heir." I'm sick of this, so I don't go along with him anymore. "Let's get a divorce."

A Tenth of His Love Chapter 10
My pupils contracted sharply, and my heart pounded wildly.It all made sense now. I suddenly recalled my first meeting with Arthur. It was when he had asked Austin for my hand in marriage. Back then, I had been infatuated with Edward and had barely spared Arthur a glance before rejecting him.Everything clicked into place. No wonder Austin had pushed so hard for me to be with Arthur. No wonder Arthur treated me so well. It had all been part of a plan.Daisy stood against the light, her face obscured by shadows like a merciless judge delivering a final verdict."I used to believe Edward truly loved me. I hesitated, wondering if I should let go of my revenge. But that fool… He's as idiotic as ever. He has no one to blame but himself for my ruthlessness. So? Is this secret worth five million?"I could barely think and simply responded, "It's worth it."Daisy let out a triumphant cheer. "I did it! I got my revenge. My child is now rich. I'm the winner!"Arthur had already heard abou

A few months later, news of turmoil within Abend Group spread.After Daisy gave birth, Edward publicly declared the child as the rightful heir to Abend Group. Naturally, his relatives opposed the idea—how could an illegitimate become the company's next president?Under immense pressure, Peter reprimanded Edward and clarified that Daisy's child would never inherit the company.Humiliated, Edward began clashing with his relatives, intensifying the conflict until several turned against him.The real threat wasn't Simmons Group—it was Abend Group's own internal strife.Austin chose not to support either side since it was an internal matter.After several intense power struggles, Abend Group's stock plummeted. Realizing that they would only incur more losses if they continued fighting, both factions finally sat down to negotiate a truce.Edward was widely regarded as an idiot and was officially stripped of his inheritance rights. Meanwhile, Peter married a new wife and, at the age of

Arthur's eyes widened in shock at my response.He said, "We just danced together not long ago.""No. It was much earlier than that—years ago, I think." A fleeting image flashed through my mind, but I couldn't grasp the memory no matter how hard I tried. Frustrated, I scratched my head."Don't change the subject. What’s your answer?""Alright."If I faked a marriage with Arthur, other companies would stop proposing marriage alliances with their families, and dissolving the arrangement later would be simple.For a brief moment, Arthur trembled with excitement. Tears welled up in his eyes as he grabbed me and spun me around several times.I quickly added, "But this is just for show. You understand, right?""Yes, I know!" He was still overwhelmed with joy.…The wedding preparations didn't take long. The flowers, the dress, and the rings engraved with our names were all ready—almost as if Austin had been anticipating my marriage to Arthur all along.But Arthur was just an ordina

As the dance ended, I felt a hint of reluctance."Why are you at the ball? What are you doing at the company now?"Arthur had joined Oskar Group with me, and I had asked Austin to arrange a position for him, though I hadn't inquired about the details.His smile stiffened for a second before returning to normal. "I'm Austin's secretary now.""How's work?"Arthur pointed toward Austin in the distance. "Mr. Oskar values me a lot. He even insisted I attend this banquet. Maybe it's because I'm too handsome—he probably wanted me to represent Oskar Group's image."I couldn't help but laugh. To be fair, Arthur's looks were definitely top-tier within the company. But his deliberate closeness to me made me suspect that Austin had picked him as a potential match for me."That's right. You're very perceptive," Austin admitted openly, not bothering to hide it. "I figured that bastard, Edward, would cling to you, so I found the most attractive man to make him back off.""How considerate of

I finally returned to the Oskar estate, and Austin was as happy as a child."Stella, you're finally back home!" he said, his excitement barely contained.I was speechless. "Is my divorce from Edward really something to celebrate this much?""Of course! Now, I don't have to worry about an heir. You're going to be the next president of Oskar Group.""What? Don't you plan on finding a partner?"Austin was ten years older than me, yet he had never pursued a relationship. I always thought he was just too picky."I'm not interested in women."The revelation took me by surprise, but I respected his choice. After all, one's happiness was the most important thing in life.From then on, I followed Austin's lead and learned how to manage the company. My days were packed, and I barely thought about Edward.One day, Austin handed me a document. "Stella, your ex-husband is coming."I took the papers and read through them carefully.Although my marriage to Edward was over, our families' bu

At that moment, Daisy fell right before me while my hand hung in the air. From any angle, it looked as if I had pushed her.Panic surged through me, and I quickly explained, "It's not what you think! I didn't push her—she fell on her own."Edward raised his hand to slap me, but Arthur firmly caught his wrist just before he could. "Edward, I won't let you hurt her."Edward let out a cold snort and crouched down to check on Daisy carefully."Are you okay? Do you feel any discomfort? Does your stomach hurt? Don't move. Wait for the doctor to arrive."He carefully pulled her into his arms as if she were his entire world. Meanwhile, I—his legal wife—was treated like trash and cast aside.Even though I had already decided to leave him, my heart still ached unbearably."Edward, I fell on my own. Stella didn't push me, so please don't punish her," Daisy said, looking pitiful, with tears in her eyes."You're too kind. Without me there to protect you, how would you survive in this world?

I moved into the most secluded room in the estate, where I could no longer hear Edward and Daisy's laughter. It was peaceful. Arthur would visit me from time to time, trying to cheer me up.There were only two days left until Austin arrived—I just had to endure a little longer.A voice came from outside the door as I daydreamed about my future freedom and happiness."Stella."I opened the door to find Daisy standing there.She was wearing a dazzlingly elegant gown embellished with pearls and a jewel-encrusted necklace. The softness and timidity in her eyes were gone, replaced by sharp, unyielding arrogance."What do you want? If it's not important, please leave," I said, unwilling to engage with her. I just wanted some peace."Aren't you going to invite your guest in for tea? Is this the kind of hospitality the Oskar family teaches?"Since Daisy had abandoned all pretense of respect, I saw no need to be polite either. I struck her where it hurt. "You used to be Edward's nanny

I thought Edward would at least show me some respect after Peter's intervention. But to my surprise, he became even more brazen.I was jolted awake early the following day by a commotion outside my door."You can't move in!""I'm the heir of the company! You're fired!""This isn't your bedroom!" "Get lost!"I got dressed and stepped outside, only to see Edward and Daisy standing there with their luggage behind them. My maids were blocking their way, refusing to let them in.The moment he saw me, he let out a cold laugh. "Stella, did you really think you could deny me what I want just because Dad backed you up? Use your brain. You're just the woman I married, but Daisy is carrying his biological grandson. It's obvious who's more important.""So?" My voice trembled. I couldn't believe they could be this heartless."Dad and I have already discussed it. Once Daisy gives birth, the child will be handed over to you to raise. If you can have a child of your own, then they'll be the

"You're getting a divorce?"Peter patted his chest, taking a moment to collect himself."Stella, this is Edward's fault. I'll deal with him. Don't worry—I will never allow a child of lowly blood to become Abend Group's heir." Then, he ordered, "Someone, go get Edward!"Not long after, Edward stormed in, his face dark with anger. He glared at me and shouted, "Didn't I tell you to keep this a secret? Why did you tell Dad? So the divorce was just an excuse—you just don't want to raise the child.""Insolent fool! Watch your tongue!" Peter's face turned red with fury as he pointed at Edward and scolded, "I turned a blind eye to your affair with Daisy, but that doesn't mean I'll indulge your every whim. Stella is your rightful wife, and only your children with her have the right to inherit the company.""Dad! Stella still hasn't gotten pregnant. She's probably infertile! Daisy may come from humble origins, but she has a pure heart and a noble character—something Stella could never c

Chapter 1
I had become Edward Abend's wife, so as compensation to Daisy Neal, the love he gave me was only a tenth of what he gave her.For the sake of both our families' interests—and with the hope that he would return to me—I endured it all.Until one day he said, "You have to pretend to be Daisy's child's biological mother and let the child become the Abend family's heir."That was when I asked for a divorce.The man and woman before me ignored my words and continued their discussion."This must be done in secret. No outsiders can know. This family would never accept an heir whose birth mother is an ordinary woman. Once the child comes of age, we'll tell him the truth and have him recognize you as his biological mother."Teary-eyed, Daisy clung to Edward like a pet. "I'm willing to do anything for our child."Filled with tenderness, Edward comforted her. "I'll make it up to you a hundred times over for all your suffering."Then, the two shared a deep kiss, and their saliva splattered ...
