Today was the wedding day of the famous model Fiona and the billionaire Joseph. However, Joseph, driven by his secret love for another woman, Daphne, stood Fiona up at the altar. This left Fiona utterly embarrassed in front of the media and celebrities, and she became disheartened, vowing never to love again. In the past, Daphne had caused Fiona to have a miscarriage, and now her fiance had called off the wedding because of Daphne. Fiona made the decision to leave her modeling career behind and become an agent, determined to rebuild her life and focus on her career. Many years later, when Fiona was responsible for negotiating an endorsement deal for a jewelry brand owned by Joseph's family with one of her artists, she had to face her former fiance who had once betrayed her. Joseph deeply regretted his actions from years ago and was willing to do anything to win back Fiona. However, Fiona told him, "I no longer love you." At the same time, Joseph realized that during his absence in the past few years, many of his wealthy friends who had previously looked down on Fiona had fallen in love with her, and he now had many competitors standing in front of him.

Chapter 1 Joseph did not show up

On the weekend, Carmen Vacation Bay had a clear blue sky and the sea was crystal clear under the sunshine. Not far from the bay, the hotel looked magnificent under the blue sky and white clouds.

怀怀All hotel staff were busy as a grand wedding was about to take place here.

怀怀The luxurious 15,000 square foot banquet hall in the hotel is decorated with white balloons and ribbons, and two swans made of white roses over six meters high were placed in the venue.

怀怀The floor was covered with petals, leading directly from the French windows of the banquet hall to the surrounding terrace. A rainbow-like church was built with colorful glass, overlooking the sea, and surrounded by flowers, just like a scene in a dream.

怀怀For this wedding, there were dozens of media outlets coming to interview; they defined this wedding as "a wedding of a princess and a prince".

怀怀The groom was Joseph from the local Thomas Group. He came from a prominent family and had extraordinary looks, truly the prince charming in the hearts of many. However, as for the bride, the media thought that the term "Cinderella" might be more suitable for her.

怀怀Despite coming from an humble background, she stood out in the "New York Angel" modeling competition at the age of 18, and thus embarked on a modeling career. Later on, she achieved excellent results in the World Elite Model Contest, paving the way for more appearances in international fashion shows and advertisements for major brands.

怀怀The bride Fiona, reportedly, just turned 21 three months ago.

怀怀At such an age when many people's struggles had just begun, she had already reached an unreachable endpoint, whether in love or career.

怀怀It really made people jealous.

怀怀But media outlets were always happy to see news topics like Cinderella that could bring huge click-through rates, so they had sent people to conduct interviews.

怀怀At the end of the venue filled with flowers, the bride stood quietly there, allowing everyone to take photos.

怀怀She wore a wedding dress that was absolutely enough to fulfill every girl's fantasy: delicate lace edging, embedded with countless small diamonds on the skirt, a huge skirt and a long white veil. Extremely eye-catching and dreamy appearance, making people can't help but marvel.

怀怀Fiona wore a white veil on her head, her beautiful face hidden behind the wedding dress, politely and gracefully smiling at the clicking and intermittent shutter sound.

怀怀The reporters took dozens of photos in a row before realizing that the groom seemed to be missing.

怀怀Someone couldn't help but look at their watch, wondering how the groom could be late for his own wedding.

怀怀Time passed slowly, gradually approaching noon.

怀怀Fiona's smiling face gradually began to reveal panic.

怀怀Her gaze occasionally turned towards the entrance of the wedding venue, waiting for her future husband.

怀怀However, Joseph did not show up. Instead, his best man handed her a phone.

怀怀Was it the groom calling?

怀怀The crowd watched as Fiona walked to the backstage to answer the phone. They could tell from her relieved expression that they knew who was calling. However, they were surprised to see Fiona's expression gradually become serious, even frowning. Finally, she almost gritted her teeth and cursed before hanging up the phone angrily.

怀怀After returning from the phone call, Fiona stood directly in the center of the stage. She tightly held the microphone with both hands, looked at the guests below, almost struggling to force out a smile, took a deep breath, and then spoke: "I just received a call. The groom of this wedding - my fiancĆ© Joseph, cannot come due to some unforeseen circumstances. Therefore, I am here to announce on behalf of him and myself - this wedding is cancelled! Thank you all for coming from afar, and I apologize for any inconvenience caused by the sudden cancellation."

怀怀As soon as Fiona finished speaking, the guests below erupted into a commotion.

怀怀The media and reporters were all in a frenzy, holding their cameras and continuously taking photos, while throwing out a series of questions, "When will the wedding be rescheduled to? Why isn't the groom coming? And why isn't there a clear reason given? Will the wedding still be held in the future?"

怀怀It seemed that a big news had been picked up, and everyone was working hard to dig out tomorrow's search headlines.

怀怀Their aggressive questioning showed no concern for Fiona's feelings on stage. Even though she was on the verge of breaking down, she turned her eyes straight to the ceiling of the hotel ballroom, her mouth exaggeratedly upturned, trying her best to smile, as if a single misstep would cause tears to fall.

怀怀The helpless Fiona was ultimately captured in a photograph and posted on various media platforms.

怀怀Later, Fiona also saved one picture herself.

怀怀Every time she saw her awkward self in that photo, she couldn't help but feel that she was still too young at the time: having walked so many runways, experienced so many scenes, she still couldn't calmly face a wedding where she was stood up.

怀怀It was simply a stain on life.

怀怀Although all of this gradually faded out of the public eye as she later became a broker, this matter was also gradually forgotten by people.

怀怀But Fiona herself couldn't forget. If memories could be erased, she would like to erase this part.

怀怀Fiona drove and looked at the restaurant getting closer on the navigation, thinking self-deprecatingly in her heart.

怀怀At this moment, Annabelle beside her suddenly asked anxiously, "Fiona, what kind of person is Joseph. You've been in the industry for a long time, you should have had contact with him, is he easy to get along with?"

怀怀When Annabelle asked this, she took out a makeup mirror and observed her own makeup in the mirror. Fiona couldn't help but pat her shoulder, "Don't be nervous, it's just an endorsement advertisement."

怀怀It was just an endorsement advertisement for a luxury jewelry brand under the Thomas Group.

怀怀The brand only collaborated with top Hollywood celebrities before. This time it inexplicably chose Annabelle, who could only be considered a second-tier star.

怀怀The reason for this was said to be personally designated by Joseph.

Isabella Anderson's life was turned upside down by a single sentence from her doctor: "Miss Isabella Anderson, you are pregnant." The shocking news left her utterly bewildered. Despite being nineteen, she had never been intimate with any man. Even more incredible was that the lab results showed she was already four months pregnant. The doctor informed her that due to her physical condition, she couldn't undergo an abortion and would have to carry the baby to term. Returning home, Isabella's father, Lucas Anderson, was furious. Rumors spread rapidly, and everyone began mocking her. Speculation arose that the Mitchell family, her fiancƩ's family, would undoubtedly call off the engagement. As everyone awaited the Mitchell family's response, her fiancƩ, Dylan Mitchell, unexpectedly appeared at the Anderson household. Seeing Isabella's swollen belly and her unattractive appearance, Dylan angrily declared that although he loathed Isabella, he wouldn't call off the engagement if the baby could be given away after birth. Isabella, moving from confusion to reluctant acceptance of reality, had already developed feelings for her child after feeling its heartbeat. She firmly refused to give up the baby or allow the engagement to be called off. At that moment, her baby decided to come early, and she went into labor amid the chaos. **Five Years Later** "Mommy, wake up, the plane is taxiing!" Isabella was awakened by her daughter Amelia's voice as they returned from abroad. Over the past five years, Isabella was no longer the overweight and unattractive girl she once was. She had become slim, exuding an exceptional charm, and now stood out as a stunning beauty. She informed Amelia that their return was primarily to handle the annulment of her engagement with the Mitchell family, but her most important mission was to find her other child, who had been taken away by force. Just after stepping off the plane, Isabella received a call informing her that Asher Perez, the head of the most powerful family, was gathering information about her worldwide. Isabella had a secret identity: she was the world's top surgeon, and Asher wanted to find her to cure his family member's illness. However, Isabella was not concerned about this; her priority was to find her son and avoid getting entangled in the affairs of powerful families. As she left the airport, Isabella unexpectedly ran into her former fiancƩ, Dylan. Dylan did not recognize the slimmed-down Isabella and flirtatiously approached her. Isabella gave him a cold glance and walked away with Amelia. Upon returning to her home country, Isabella checked into a luxurious hotel owned by the Perez Group. Unexpectedly, she encountered a little boy, Charles Perez, and mistook him for her daughter. It turned out that Charles was Asher Perez's son. Seeing their interaction, Asher mistakenly believed Isabella was trying to use Charles to get close to him. Their meeting was disastrous, and at this point, Asher had no idea that the beautiful woman was the top surgeon he had been desperately searching for.

The South Continent elite circle knew that Ethan Myers, esteemed and unapproachable, had a chosen mate from North Continent whom he hadn't even met. Rumor had it that she was the Alpha of Myers Wolfpack, Ethan Myers' grandfather Brandon Myers' arranged chosen mate. North Continent and South Continent were worlds apart in development. Hence, the young elites lamented and the socialites were envious: Myers Wolfpack's Future Alpha was actually paired with a country bumpkin from North Continent? It was simply squandering a rare opportunity! Moreover, everyone knew Ethan Myers was ruthless and aloof, untouched by the allure of many beautiful female werewolves. How could he possibly accept an arranged marriage, especially with a country bumpkin chosen mate? So, everyone eagerly awaited the arrival of this North Continent chosen mate in South Continent, only to see her rejected by Ethan and sent back to North Continent in disgrace. **** No one knew that Ethan Myers, the usually aloof and pristine future Alpha of the Myers Wolfpack, had been experiencing intensely passionate dreams with a woman every night for the past year. The woman in his dreams was soft and delicate, with an indescribably pleasant fragrance. Whenever she was beneath him, she would look up at him with tearful, cat-like eyes, almost crying yet not quite, making him break his usual restraint again and again. Each night, the dream's setting and his identity would change. Sometimes he was a general, and she was his lady. Other times he was a powerful warlord, and she was his concubine. Upon waking, his inner wolf would insist that this woman was his fated mate, destined to be with him through countless lifetimes. Unfortunately, he could never clearly see her face in his dreams, only catching her surnameā€”Miss Roberts. He swore to find the woman who disturbed his dreams, for if he didn't, both he and his wolf would go mad. However, before he could find her, a car accident left him blind and crippled, unable to shift into his wolf form, and stripped of his right to lead the wolfpack. **** Juliana Roberts had a secret. For the past year, she had been entangled with a man in her dreams every night. At first, she thought it was just a phase, something to do with her hormonal cycle, and that it would pass in a few days. But the dreams persisted, night after night, and always with the same man. Fortunately, the man was handsome, well-built, and matched her tastes perfectly in every way. Juliana didnā€™t mind; she even got used to it. After all, it was like having a boyfriend she could only meet in her dreams. Before Juliana' s grandfather died, he told her that she has a marriage agreement to the grandson of the Alpha of the Myers Wolfpack in South Continent. He urged her to flee to South Continent for protection; otherwise, her uncle and aunt would marry her off to a local tyrant in exchange for wealth and power. After a perilous journey, she arrived at the Myers Wolfpack, only to find that her fiancĆ© was blind and disabled. Furthermore, he had lost his inheritance rights because he couldn't transform into his wolf. However, under her meticulous care, Ethan Myers' condition started to improve remarkably, leading them to suspect that they were not just chosen mates, but fated mates. Moreover, Ethan bore a striking resemblance to the man in her dreams, making their destined union even more enigmatic.
