Synopsis

For another girl, Lex Hamilton—my fiancé of several years—dumped me in the middle of nowhere and left me to fend for myself. Three years later, he showed up with her to bring me back. "It's been three years," he said. "Even a dog would've learned its lesson by now. I did this for your own good. If you don't fix that attitude of yours, don't expect to ever become my wife." They thought I'd crumble. They thought I'd beg, cling to him, and unload all the pain and humiliation I'd carried for the past three years. Instead, I smiled. "Sorry, Mr. Hamilton. I'm already married."

Chapter 1

I was just back from the market, grocery bag in hand, when I spotted them—over a dozen sleek luxury cars crowding the old Hamilton house's driveway. I hadn't seen anything that flashy in years.Laughter and whispers floated over the gates as I got closer."It's been three years. Bet that 'heiress' looks like a total backwoods mess now.""She's no heiress. Just an orphan mooching off the Hamiltons. Does she really think she's something?""Exactly. She's not even related to the Hamiltons by blood. Without them, she'd be begging in the street."Then a soft voice—delicate, calculated—cut through their trash talk. "Audrey was just young and immature back then. I'm sure three years have taught her something."Ivana Schit. Lex's precious little damsel.Three years ago, she'd shown up at the Hamiltons' after her dad's accident, all soft-spoken and helpless. And me? I got packed off to the countryside like a problem no one wanted to deal with.I still heard Lex's voice, clear as day:"...

His shout snapped every head toward me."That's really Audrey Ave?""No way. Shouldn't she look like some kind of country bumpkin by now?"I heard it all. Every word. And I got why they were so thrown off.In their heads, three years in the countryside should've turned me into some worn-out, hopeless mess.But instead?I stood there in a chic midi dress and a soft knit cardigan, a camera casually slung around my neck. My hair was smooth, my skin glowed, and even my nails were polished in the perfect nude shade.Country bumpkin? Not even close.Lex's gaze finally landed on me, surprise flickering across his face."Audrey Ave," he said, his voice distant—nothing like the soft tone he always used with Ivana.There was a time when that used to wreck me, when I'd cry and beg for answers.Not anymore."Mr. Hamilton," I said, shifting the grocery basket to my other hand, polite and composed.Lex's brows pinched slightly. "It's only been three years. Is there a need to be so forma

Once the circus cleared out, I grabbed my groceries and headed to the house across from the old Hamilton house.Inside, Joshua Judd was deep in a conference call.The second he saw me, he muted the call and smiled, taking the grocery basket out of my hands."I told you to wait so we could go together. Aren't you tired?"I shook my head and trailed him into the kitchen. "I grabbed groceries and snagged some footage for my videos. You cook, I buy—seems fair."Joshua suddenly stopped short, and I bumped straight into his back.He turned, bent down a little, and gave my nose a quick pinch. "You little troublemaker. Since when do you make the meals around here? I heard some noise outside—what happened?"I pursed my lips, thinking back. "Lex showed up. Said he came to take me back, but I let him have it."Joshua's frown was instant. "Still as thoughtless as ever. Not a bad idea, though—that kid needs a reminder of where he stands."I raised a brow. That's all he had to say?Joshua

He walked over, staring at me for what felt like forever before finally speaking."Audrey, enough is enough."***After the party ended, I stood by the roadside, arms crossed, waiting for my ride.Lex's car pulled up. He rolled down the window, face ice-cold. "Get in."I shook my head. "No need. My husband's on his way."His laugh was sharp, mocking. "Audrey, how long are you gonna keep this up? Lying to everyone else is one thing, but fooling me? Come on."Who in Rivandia doesn't know you were so obsessed with me you'd rather die than let me go? A woman like you—who'd actually want to marry you?"Get in the car, and I'll forget you snuck back here."His tone turned sharper with every word, irritation clear as day. When I didn't budge, his brows pulled tight, and that familiar look of disgust flickered across his face. "Don't tell me you're really someone's sugar baby now. Who'd be desperate enough to keep you around?"I tilted my head, smiling faintly. "Mr. Hamilton, did you

Once Ivana showed up, they looked down on me even more. I can't count how many times I overheard them trash-talking me.Not long after, my phone rang again.Lex. I could tell right away.The second I picked up, he was already mid-rant."Audrey, go get rid of that child!"I actually laughed. "Are you out of your mind?""Audrey!" His voice sharpened, practically a growl. "I said, get rid of it!"Lex was yelling so loud I didn't even need to put him on speaker to hear him.I held the phone away from my ear. "If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up." My tone was ice cold."Did you not hear me? Where the hell are you right now?!"I'd known Lex for years—I'd seen his temper plenty of times. Listening to him lose it now didn't even make me flinch.He was still barking questions when, out of nowhere, someone snatched the phone from behind me.Joshua's deep, steady voice followed. "Audrey's about to rest. Call back another day if you need something."And just like that, he hung up.

The birthday banquet finally ended.Joshua went to get the car, leaving me to wait by the door.Out of nowhere, Lex appeared, grabbing my wrist and pulling me into a quiet corner.He glared at me, teeth gritted, voice low and furious. "You did this on purpose, didn't you? You and Uncle Joshua—this is all just an act! You're trying to get back at me!"I stared back at him calmly. "You're overthinking it. If it were an act, I wouldn't have brought him here."Lex knew I had a point. His parents' messy divorce had put a strain between the two sides of the family for years. If it weren't for me, Joshua wouldn't have come here at all.Besides, Grandpa Hubert had always treated me like family. No matter what, I wouldn't deceive him.Lex knew all of that. He was just too angry to think straight.He let out a cold laugh. "So this is revenge, huh? You're doing all of this to get back at me for sending you to the countryside because of Ivana."Audrey, I told you before—if you just behave

After that day, I didn't see Lex again.Gigi dragged me out shopping, her voice full of irritation as we strolled down the street. "Lex is a total lunatic—seriously messed up in the head."Waylon told me that on the night of my engagement party, Lex completely trashed a bar. Who even does that? If I didn't know better, I'd think he had a crush on me."She burst out laughing at her own joke.When the laughter faded, she added, "But I haven't seen him in ages. Even Ivana was asking Waylon the other day if he'd run into him. Where do you think Lex disappeared to?"I let my fingers drift over a rack of clothes. "Who knows."***That night, I was ambushed at my doorstep.Lex stood there, reeking of alcohol, swaying slightly as he blocked my way. "Audrey," he slurred, voice low and raw, "I had a nightmare yesterday. I dreamed you got married—to my uncle. Tell me it's not true.""You promised me. You said you'd only marry me. How could you marry someone else?"I didn't respond. I ju

That day, Joshua wore me out in bed.Lex hadn't shown up since.The next time I saw him was at a panel discussion. He looked thinner—hollow, even—with Ivana glued to his side. I gave them a quick, polite nod and went to find my seat.As I walked away, I could feel his gaze trailing after me.During the intermission, Ivana cornered me."Audrey, since you're married to Lex's uncle now, could you stop chasing him? Seriously, quit looking for chances to get close to him." She paused, throwing in a dramatic sigh. "Do you even know what he's been through? He practically threw his life away for you!"I lifted my head, meeting her stare. She still had that holier-than-thou vibe, and it grated."Miss Schit," I said flatly, "whatever Lex chooses to do has nothing to do with me. And just so we're clear, I'm here because the event organizers invited me. Believe it or not, I don't have the pull to influence government decisions."This panel was put together by a government department, and i

Lex stared at me, looking dazed—like he was lost somewhere between nostalgia and regret. Whatever he was thinking, I didn't care.The wind blew my hair into my face, and I tucked it behind my ear, ready to leave. Just as I stepped past him, his hand shot out, stopping me cold.I instinctively stepped back, but he wasn't trying to grab me. In his hand was a bracelet.It looked almost identical to the one my parents had left me."This bracelet is to make it up to you," he said softly. "Doesn't it look just like yours?"There was a flicker of hope in his voice, but I didn't care about the bracelet. My eyes locked on the faint scar running across his wrist—eerily similar to mine.He noticed where I was looking and gave a bitter, hollow laugh. "I guess there's still something we have in common."I met his gaze and sighed. "Lex, you know it as well as I do. What we had ended three years ago."Everything you're doing now? It's a burden to me. Whether you believe it or not, I'm married
