Love Gambit: The Perilous Union of Fortune and Affection

Adventure
5.0
In that year, Arianna married Ethan Thornwood, the Chairman of Thornwood Group, both carrying their own secrets, secretly forming an alliance under the guise of mutual benefits between their families. With a contract binding them to have a child and two years of married life, they tied together the wealthy businessman and her. At the time, Ethan was 31 years old, while Arianna was 21. With a ten-year age difference, even before their marriage began, Arianna could guess the outcome, but she overlooked the process: in this game of "cat and mouse," neither she nor Ethan were the manipulators; it was the hearts teetering on the edge of matrimony. Arianna: "Ethan is too complicated and dangerous. Be cautious in your dealings." Ethan: "I might scheme against others, but I would never scheme against my wife." To Ethan, he and she were acquaintances meeting again, but to Arianna, she and he were strangers meeting for the first time. --- Ethan knew that there was a man living in Arianna's heart. Despite being separated by life and death, she still couldn't forget him. After their marriage, he had only one demand for her: "As long as I am your husband, you can never betray me." But what if she did betray him? If she did, then the extent of his heartache would be the measure of his fury. --- At 21, Arianna had three identities: the heir to the Williams Group, a first-year student in business school, and Ethan's wife. Some revealed the truth about her: "Arianna is reclusive and cruel." "Shut your dog mouth." Ethan's gaze sent shivers down the spine. Arianna was like a devil, and Ethan had always known it, but some things could only be said by him, and no one else. He often remembered Arianna from his childhood: innocent and beautiful, her smile like a flower. --- At 31, Fu Hansheng, a business magnate, had a relationship full of uncertainties. He had been careful, but unexpectedly, he fell deeper step by step. After countless romantic pursuits, he fell for a wounded girl. Over the years when she was unaware of his existence, he went from being infatuated to being trapped beyond redemption. It was like a calamity. Everything was fine, except she didn't love him. --- Later, when faced with a wave of conspiracies and traps, the walls of trust between the couple collapsed. Faced with his cruelty, she covered her heart and said to him, "It hurts here." In that moment, he finally understood. When emotions reached a dead end, the person with deep emotional roots often remained the most silent. On the surface, they seemed indifferent, but inside, they had said "I love you" countless times. She said, "Ethan, you gave me paradise, but you also gave me hell." --- Later, on a certain day when the prosperity had faded, Ethan found the handwritten note Arianna had copied by hand. 【Embracing the bridge pier, I wait for you under a thousand ripples. When the water comes, I'll wait for you in the water; when fire comes, I'll wait for you in the ashes.】 Ethan said, "It's only now that I am certain, she had truly loved me deeply."
