When the wedding date was approaching, the prince of Calbery, Harper Scott, turned around and married his first love.
It was all because she was about to marry the most notorious playboy in Calbery.
He said she was like a piece of jade just born and should not be sullied by anyone else.
He became the subject of admiration in Calbery, praised as a devoted man. As for me, I was reduced to being discarded like trash.
Who would have thought that the playboy would publicly announce that he was going to marry me?
For the sake of the reputation of my family, the Frost Family, I agreed to him.
But Harper seemed to be regretting it now.
——
"Harper, we're done!"
At my family’s house, Harper stood in front of me, holding various branded bags.
"Zelda! I know you're angry! But I can't watch Grace fall into the mire. Trust me, we're really just having a fake marriage. After a year, we’ll divorce! For this year, we’ll just have a secret relationship, okay?"
At that moment, Harper made me feel disgusted.
From today onwards, I would never believe Harper's words again.
Three days ago, both our families were preparing for our wedding.
To make the scene look good, our family specially invited many big shots from the business world to dinner.
What was supposed to be a pleasant dinner gathering was interrupted by the appearance of a woman.
"Harper! Save me! I don't want to marry that scoundrel Axel!"
When Grace burst in, she was wearing a white dress and with her delicate makeup, she looked like an angel descending.
No wonder it made Harper panic instantly.
In Calbery, Harper was the prince of the white way and Axel Knight was the prince of the black way.
The two of them were known as the two great princes of Calbery, so it was normal for Grace to seek out Harper.
But I never expected that the vows Harper once made to me would shatter into bubbles that could break with just a touch the moment Grace appeared.
Watching Grace sobbing in Harper's arms, tears streaming down, Harper kept comforting her with both hands.
The two of them didn't care at all about the faces of the elders of the Frost Family.
"If you want to hug each other, you can go outside!" I glared at the two of them with an unfriendly expression.
Harper glanced at me and muttered, "I'm sorry," before swiftly pulling Grace away.
That evening’s banquet turned my Frost Family into a laughingstock in Calbery.
When I next heard news about Harper, it was when they announced their engagement in the media.
And the next time I saw him was right now. At this moment, he was no longer my fiancé; he was Grace’s husband.
"Mr. Scott! You come from a prestigious family, so please don't keep lingering around my house!" I spoke coldly, wanting to kick him out.
"Zelda! You have to believe me, Grace and I are really just acting!"
I interrupted him, "Oh, really? Then if our secret relationship gets exposed, how are you going to explain it to the outside world? Are you going to say your marriage is fake? Or are you going to say I'm the mistress?"
Harper fell silent. Honestly, I shouldn't have asked that question.
"Now! Please get out of my house!" I couldn’t take it anymore and gave him the boot.
"Zelda! You can't do this! I love you! Truly, in all of Calbery, only I am worthy of you! If you don’t marry me, no one will dare to marry you!"
I fell silent.
Harper was right. After he rejected me, I feared I would never be able to marry in Calbery again.
At that moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the door. "When did your Scott Family become so powerful in Calbery?"
"Axel!"
How did this troublemaker end up here?
