After my arch-nemesis's fiancé was sent abroad, I turned to Xiaohongshu, where a flood of foreigners was pouring in, to crazily look at handsome guys. Little did I know, he caught me red-handed on the spot.

Chapter 1

After my nemesis fiancé, Harry Skinner, was sent abroad, I turned my attention to the influx of handsome men on Instagram.

I left countless comments on their posts. "Hey, handsome, you're my dream guy."

Then, I fell asleep from sheer exhaustion.

When I woke up, my phone had exploded with notifications.

First, there was a flood of replies, including one that simply said, "?"

Then, my fiancé reposted countless of my comments, each accompanied by a single "?".

And finally, he messaged me directly. "We are indeed childhood sweethearts, but is this appropriate?"

"Well, so you recognized this is my account, huh? You're lusting after me but too shy to admit it, so you pretend to like others, right?"

"Ivy Gordon, say something!"

"Silence means agreement, right?"

"Fine. I've always known you secretly liked me. Call me honey again, and I will obey you."

"Ah! Even if you're scared of me finding out, you can't say to countless men they are your dream guys."

"I'm heartbroken!"

"What on earth is he getting so worked up about?" I thought.

"You must finalize the engagement with Ivy by the end of this month."

"Why don't you marry her yourself?"

As I walked over with freshly sliced watermelon, I overheard their argument.

I knew they were arguing again.

This was their tenth fight this month.

I sighed inwardly but kept a smile on my face as I placed the watermelon on the table. "Dennis, you must be thirsty. Have some. It's freshly washed."

"Well, you're such a sweetheart, unlike my son... Hmph!" Dennis shot Harry a cold, disdainful glance before turning to me with a beaming smile he couldn't suppress.

Harry looked flustered the moment he saw me. "You heard all that?"

I nodded and broke the watermelon in half, offering him a piece.

"Want some? It's sweet."

Honestly, I had no ulterior motive. The slice was just too big for me to finish, so I thought I'd share.

Harry had a stern face and looked sullen, and seemed to be displeased with my lack of reaction.

He stared at me as if he had suffered a great injustice "Ivy! You! Don't even think about it! I'm telling you, you can't force love, no matter how hard you try."

After saying this, he walked away funnily.

I stared blankly at the half-eaten watermelon in my hand, then at his retreating figure.

Shrugging, I stuffed the other half into my mouth and shook my head in pity. The watermelon was sweet.

His loss.

Dennis, watching from the side, tried to comfort me. "Ivy, don't take it to heart. That brat is all talk and no action. But this time, he went too far. Don't worry. I'll teach him a lesson."

I kept chewing and replied, "Dennis, I'm not upset. I don't care about this."

"Well, you're too kind," he said, cutting me off with an increasingly sympathetic look. He quickly pulled out a card from his wallet and shoved it into my hand.

"Take this. Buy whatever you like. Don't hold back. We're not exactly strapped for cash."

I was overjoyed and put it in my pocket.

To be honest, I didn't care whether Harry married me or not. We'd been fighting like cats and dogs since we were kids. There was no way we'd fall in love.

But our parents were stubborn, insisting on pairing us up. This time, my parents had gone so far as to send me to the Harry household while they went on a business trip.

They even blocked all my escape routes.

What could I do? When I was under someone else's roof, I had to bow my head.

Besides, the monthly allowance my parents gave me barely covered my beloved handbags.

Clutching the card in my pocket, I felt a surge of happiness and ate two more slices of watermelon.

Dennis hesitated for a moment before patting my shoulder. "Listen, Ivy, don't be too upset. I've got a few friends with sons. Every one of them is better than Harry. If you're interested, I can introduce you to them. After all, you shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket."

I was so excited about the shopping spree I'd soon be going on that I barely registered what Dennis said. I just nodded enthusiastically. "Not picky at all! Sounds great!"

As soon as the words left my mouth, Harry's bedroom door slammed shut with a loud "bang".

I was startled.

Dennis, clearly annoyed at being interrupted, leaped up from the sofa and shouted upstairs. "You little brat! Are you trying to bring the house down? If I don't teach you a lesson this time, I won't be your father anymore!"

While chaos erupted downstairs, I retreated to my room, enjoying the peace.

It was great that I could go bag shopping again.

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.

My name is Katia, and I am just trying to survive until my fated mate arrives. Which may be easier said than done. Rejectection is the last straw. Whispering my acceptance of his rejection. I run through the pack house, out across the manicured lawn into the forest. "I'm sorry, my sweet girl," I say to my wolf. I'm sorry you have been stuck with me and have had to suffer everything I have. She whispers," it's not your fault, Katia. We came to a cliff with a waterfall. The hurt keeps pounding at me. I need it to stop. My sweet girl, and I just want peace, I keep running and leap off the cliff. Spreading my arms wide, with tears streaming down my face, I fall, not making a sound, waiting for sweet oblivion where we feel nothing ever again. "I love you, my sweet girl! Until we meet again, "My wolf replied just before we hit the water, "I love you too, Katia. I have never regretted a moment with you." The Snow Moon pack is having their last barbecue of the summer next to the waterfall on their land. The adults are laughing and joking while watching the pups play. The alpha, beta, and gamma are swimming with some of the older children and playing a game of Marco Polo. Someone yells, "Oh my goddess, someone just jumped over the waterfall!" Everyone is frozen as they watch what looks to be a child falling arms spread wide, no one makes a sound. The small body hits the water like a plane crashing into the side of a mountain. The alpha, beta, and gamma, spring into action, swimming towards the area the person went under. The alpha is screaming his wolf is going crazy repeating, "Find her. Find her...find her!" They dive and the beta surfaces with a small person in his arms. Alpha takes the girl from his beta, laying her on the ground. The men are shocked by what they see. She is covered in scars and injuries. Her body is twisted and broken. The Beta asks, "Who could have done this to someone so defenseless?" Alpha drops to his knees, repeating, "MATE...MATE...MATE!"
