Ashton Wolf is a renowned CEO who initially married Miranda Stone. At one point, his wife's condition weakened due to her long-standing battle with stage four brain gland cancer, with a prognosis that she wouldn't survive much longer. Realizing that her time was limited, Miranda insisted that Ashton marry again. The choice fell upon Alice Ashborne, Miranda's step-sister. Ashton vehemently rejected this request. Apart from the significant age difference, he had no intention of marrying a girl he clearly did not love. However, under Miranda's pressure, even to the point of threats and demands for an immediate divorce, Ashton found himself unable to refuse and eventually accepted the request to marry Alice as soon as possible. Throughout their marriage, Ashton made a conscious effort to maintain distance. He deliberately kept the news of his remarriage from people outside, trying to conceal the fact that he had married again. Despite Alice's evident effort to graciously embrace married life and be a devoted wife, Ashton remained displeased and continued to keep his heart closed. To add to the complexities of their marriage, someone from the past resurfaced, throwing Ashton and Alice's lives into further turmoil. This situation left them grappling with a dilemma—whether to continue fighting for their marriage or to bring it to an end.

Chapter 1

"Ashton, I implore you. Marry my sister."

At that moment, Ashton shook his head repeatedly. Instead of accepting Miranda's offer to marry her sister again, he adamantly rejected his wife's request.

Ashton Wolf, a man working as a contractor and lecturer, had officially married Miranda Stone, a designer, just three months ago. Despite knowing from the beginning, before deciding to marry, that Miranda was suffering from stage four brain gland cancer, he chose to maintain the relationship and make her being his wife.

However, Miranda's condition had worsened over time, and she was currently hospitalized. Worried about leaving Ashton alone and with no one to care for him, Miranda asked her husband to marry her sister, especially since Alice was also an orphan, with no one to care for her.

"No. I don't want to!" Ashton flatly refused. "Besides, why should I marry Alice? I love you, Miranda, not someone else."

"Ashton... Alice is my sister. Besides, I can't make you happy. I am seriously ill and can't have children at all. The doctor even said that my life expectancy---"

"Can't last long?" Ashton interrupted immediately as if knowing what his wife was going to say. Though aware of Miranda's possibly short life expectancy, Ashton always dismissed that reality. "Doctors are not Gods. Whatever they predict, you won't go anywhere if it's not your time."

Miranda sighed softly. In her weakened state, she tried hard to convince her husband.

Miranda thought time was running out. Before being called by God, she wanted her husband to fulfill her wishes.

"I beg you. You know that Alice and I are orphans. Our mother passed away a long time ago, and our father has never been known until now. If I'm not here, who will be there for Alice? She's still in college, and I trust no one to protect her."

"Alice is already an adult, Miranda. She's 22 years old. I'm sure she can take care of herself."

"But I can't leave in peace if Alice is unmarried and has no man to take care of her. I beg you to grant my request."

Ashton fell silent momentarily, unsure how to refuse or contradict.

"Anyway, I don't want to marry another woman!"

Seeing how determined Ashton was to fulfill her request, Miranda fell silent. She gazed closely at her husband's face, diving into his brown eyes, and then Miranda whispered.

"Can't you just grant my request once?"

"For God's sake, Miranda. I'll do whatever it takes. Anything. Just don't marry another woman."

Miranda smiled sadly. She nodded, firm in her decision. If Ashton couldn't fulfill her request, she wouldn't force him anymore.

"Fine. I won't force you anymore. But after this, please divorce me. So I won't have any burden when I leave you."

"For God's sake, Miranda, don't be selfish."

Ashton was almost running out of words. Seeing Miranda, who is usually calm, become stubborn again, his wife continued to plead, insisting he marry another woman, which made Ashton feel conflicted.

Ideally, Ashton should be happy. What man wouldn't be pleased to be generously allowed to marry again, especially a young virgin much younger than Ashton or even Miranda herself?

Yet again, Ashton wasn't a man who easily switched his affections. He wasn't a fickle-minded man who agreed to marry again when asked.

"Don't put me in such a difficult position," Ashton weakly expressed.

"Just grant my request once in your life," Miranda murmured, looking deeply into Ashton's eyes. Then she softly muttered, "Can't you just grant my request?"

"Yes, Miranda. I'll do whatever it takes. Just don't marry another woman."

Miranda nodded in agreement with what Ashton said. In her heart, she thought it didn't matter if Ashton didn't immediately love her sister at the beginning of the marriage. The important thing was that Ashton agreed to marry Alice after she was gone.

Moreover, Miranda believed that God could change hearts. She was confident that someday her husband would submit and eventually learn to open his heart and love Alice.

"Thank you for granting my request," Miranda said happily. "If that's the case, after I'm gone, I want you to marry Alice as soon as possible."

"As soon as possible?"

Miranda nodded again.

"Yes. You can marry her immediately, one week after my departure."

"Miranda. Why are you talking as if you're sure you'll leave tomorrow? Aren't you sure that God will extend your life? Are you eager to leave me?"

Miranda shook her head repeatedly.

"Not like that. It's not that I'm happy to leave you. It's more about resigning myself to my current fate. Moreover, death is a certainty. My condition is getting weaker day by day. Rather than wasting time, I'd rather prepare for my departure."

"I still can't rush."

"Why?" Miranda asked curiously.

"How would people react when you've just left, and I'm already prepared to remarry? I have yet to discuss this with our father and mother. Whatever happens, they deserve to know about this major decision."

Miranda nodded understandingly. She couldn't argue with what Ashton had just said. Even though he was an adult and could manage his household, Ashton still needed to inform his parents about this. Moreover, when Miranda was gone, Alice would replace her as the Wolf family's daughter-in-law.

"Alright. Let's discuss this with Papa and Mama first. But I hope you will be okay and later cancel what you promised. After I'm gone, I want you to marry Alice as soon as possible."

Ashton nodded this time. Looking directly at Miranda, he reassured his wife.

"I will never break my promise. I hope, after this, you will be satisfied because you have succeeded in making me marry a woman I don't love at all."

"What?! Marry Ashton?""Yes. I beg you, please marry and become Ashton's wife after I'm gone."Alice shook her head repeatedly. Just arriving at the hospital, she was already confronted with an unreasonable request.Last night, after returning from class, Miranda contacted Alice. The woman, six years older than Alice, asked her to come to the hospital immediately.In essence, Miranda and Alice were just stepsiblings. Alice was originally the baby brought by Rauf Alfarezi when he married Fatima, Miranda's mother, who had been a widow for a long time.Being cared for together made Miranda cherish Alice as a real sister. Until Fatima passed away, Alice stayed with Miranda, as Rauf himself disappeared, leaving the two of them behind.During last night's phone call, Miranda asked Alice to come quickly, claiming she had something important to discuss. Alice had no idea and never expected that her sister would suddenly ask her to marry her brother-in-law upon arriving at the hospital room."

Chapter 3
Ashton was truly overwhelmed by sadness. On the fourth day after Miranda's departure, he still seemed to linger in the atmosphere of mourning. Many family members had tried to console him, but Ashton appeared to continue closing himself off. It was as if Miranda's departure had truly shattered his life.He couldn't even bring himself to start the day for work. Engaging in even the slightest activities, he seemed completely devoid of enthusiasm. It was as if the center of life within Ashton had suddenly stopped rotating forcibly."Ashton, how long are you going to be like this? It's not good to linger in sadness for too long," Zein expressed his deep concern. Never before had he seen his son so deeply distressed."Mama is sure that Miranda wouldn't want you to mourn her like this," Hana added. Alongside her husband, she tried to make Ashton understand and put an end to his grief. After all, there was no benefit in sinking too deep into sorrow."From the beginning, I knew that Miranda

Chapter 4
Upon the departure of her sister and to avoid unnecessary back-and-forths during mourning events, Hana asked Alice to stay at Ashton's house for a few days.Feeling that her time was sufficient, and also not wanting to overstay her welcome at her late brother-in-law's house, Alice decided to bid farewell. Moreover, she had many tasks and responsibilities to attend to.Since Ashton's parents happened to be staying there as well, Alice chose to say her goodbyes before leaving. She wanted to express her gratitude for the hospitality she received during her stay."Aunt. Uncle..." Alice greeted as she approached Hana and Zein, who were sitting in the living room. "I want to say goodbye for now."Hana and Zein both looked up, offering warm smiles in response to Alice's words."Why the rush?"Alice smiled politely and shook her head. She didn't want to overstay her welcome, and there were academic and work responsibilities waiting for her."I have to leave because there are matters I need to

Alice looked down shyly. In front of her, Hana Syanaz was busy sorting through and selecting clothes for her to wear later.Like Ashton's previous statement, today the birth mother of the man came to pick up Alice and even helped pack her belongings. Instead of taking Alice straight home to Ashton's residence, Hana made a detour to one of the famous boutiques.Alice thought that the mother-in-law of her late stepbrother stopped by intentionally because she wanted to buy clothes or was looking for something.However, Alice's assumption was completely wrong. As soon as they entered the boutique, she found out that Hana was actually looking for clothes for Alice to wear in the solemnization ceremony.Yes, Alice had to be aware. Once again, quoting Ashton's words from last night, whether they liked it or not, the two of them had to prepare because the day after tomorrow, they would soon be getting married, as promised to the late Miranda."Alice.""Alice Ashborne."The baritone voice of t

Chapter 6
Ashton occasionally appeared to be a little bow-headed. Taking deep breaths repeatedly, the man tried to dispel the nervousness that now enveloped him, filling him. Even though this wasn't his first experience getting married. Moreover, despite the tagline of no love involved, he couldn't deceive himself that the nervous feeling still haunted him.Meanwhile, right beside him, sat El Rumi. The sharp-nosed man occasionally engaged Ashton in conversation. Intentionally teasing. The aim was to keep his older brother from being too tense through each step of the wedding process unfolding tonight."Just relax. Don't keep your face all tense and nervous like that. Just treat it like replacing a dry towel. Besides, you're a Pro, meaning you have experience with marriage, right?"Ashton immediately looked up, then turned. Staring sharply, then putting on a slightly annoyed expression. It seemed unfair that his younger brother called him a pro at marriage. Did they think he had been married mul

"Should I go to the room first? Alone?"After being instructed by his siblings and cousins to rest immediately, Ashton immediately invited Alice to go to his room. Instead of continuing to be the subject of ridicule, he'd rather avoid it altogether. Otherwise, the temptations and teasing from his cousins could be even worse than before.However, as he was about to climb the stairs to the second floor, the tall and handsome man stopped in his tracks. Once again, his name was called, this time coming from his father who asked him to bid farewell to distant relatives who were about to leave."Yeah. Why? You scared?" Ashton turned around. His eyes coldly met the gaze of the woman who was now his wife. "You heard Abi calling me just now, right?""No, it's not like that." Alice quickly shook her head. She was just asking. Why was Ashton getting so touchy?"So what's the problem then? Or do you want me to carry you to the room?"Alice blinked. She was momentarily surprised by her husband's b

Chapter 8
Alice feels like she just wants to escape from campus. She remembers well that today there's a schedule where Ashton will be teaching at her campus. Previously, when she was still his sister-in-law, Alice was just relaxed. Despite rarely, and even hardly ever, exchanging greetings outside of academic matters, she didn't care much about Ashton's presence or his cold demeanor towards the students. But now, especially after yesterday's incident, Alice feels traumatized. She's even afraid of meeting or facing her husband. Imagine. After shouting at her and making her cry, Ashton didn't apologize at all. He even acted casually, as if nothing had happened between them. The man even went as far as giving a warning which made Alice feel uncomfortable again."Never dare to touch something that doesn't belong to you. If I catch you damaging property again in the future, not only will you change rooms, I might even consider moving you out of this house."Alice thought, after marriage, her husba

Chapter 9
To relieve boredom, after class, Alice intentionally stopped by at a coffee shop. Her head was spinning thinking about which company she should choose for her internship, which was already very close.Alice had been confident about registering herself with companies that were on her 'wishlist' that she had made long ago. But, once again, the dream vanished. Everything was chaotic because of Ashton, who stipulated not choosing the same companies as their friends.Now, Alice was confused. Where should she look for a company to do her internship?"Alice!"Lost in thought, she heard her name being called. When she snapped out of it, Alice looked up to find Rumi standing right in front of her, smiling broadly."It's so lucky to meet you here. Can I sit with you? The other seats are all taken."Alice nodded slowly. Then she gestured for Rumi to sit in the empty chair in front of her."What are you doing here alone?" Rumi asked casually."Just doing laundry.""What?""I'm at a coffee shop, o

Chapter 10
Throughout the day, after finishing one class, Alice seemed busy sorting out internship matters with Rumi. Fortunately, what the guy promised was indeed delivered. As a result, Alice, who was initially feeling overwhelmed, now could breathe a sigh of relief. Alice admitted that asking for help from insiders really felt different from the independent path. Not only that, starting tomorrow morning, she could even begin working. So, what other blessings from God should she deny?"Rumi, thanks a lot for your help. If it weren't for you, I'd probably still be clueless about which company to intern at. You know your brother set such annoying deadlines."Rumi nodded with a smile. Just from his face, it was evident how satisfied he was. It was a joy for him to have successfully helped a pretty girl like Alice solve her problems."You're welcome. As long as I can help, I'll be there for you. Besides, it's easy to just slot you in as an intern at my office."A broad smile immediately appeared o
