Seven years later, they met again when Eileen had lost weight from 75 kilograms to 45 kilograms. She even changed her name. So her ex-boyfriend, Greg, didn't recognize her at all. He was critically ill and needed her blood to survive. Eileen refused the million-dollar reward and made one request: that Greg act as Lottie's father for a month. Lottie was Eileen's daughter. Greg agreed without hesitation. But he soon abandoned their plans of having fun in the amusement park due to Rena. He missed the parent-child sports event, and all the students mocked Lottie because she claimed to have a father who never showed up. When Eileen confronted Greg, he dismissively handed her a check. "Lottie isn't my daughter. We're just in a fake marriage. Why should I waste my time on her?" Greg didn't know that Lottie was indeed his daughter. Perhaps it was not a bad thing. Once the surgery was over, Eileen planned to disappear from his world forever with her daughter.

Chapter 1

On the day Greg Burton's beloved woman, Rena Cooper, returned to the country, he dumped Eileen Wright and gave her five million.

She left without saying anything.

Seven years later, they met again when Eileen had lost weight from 75 kilograms to 45 kilograms. She even changed her name. So her ex-boyfriend, Greg, didn't recognize her at all.

He was critically ill and needed her blood to survive.

Eileen refused the million-dollar reward and made one request: that Greg act as Lottie's father for a month. Lottie was Eileen's daughter.

Greg agreed without hesitation.

But he soon abandoned their plans of having fun in the amusement park due to Rena.

He missed the parent-child sports event, and all the students mocked Lottie because she claimed to have a father who never showed up.

When Eileen confronted Greg, he dismissively handed her a check. "Lottie isn't my daughter. We're just in a fake marriage. Why should I waste my time on her?"

Greg didn't know that Lottie was indeed his daughter.

Perhaps it was not a bad thing.

Once the surgery was over, Eileen planned to disappear from his world forever with her daughter.

...

"Miss Shane, Mr. Burton needs your rare blood type for his surgery. You can name your conditions," Greg's secretary, Kole Walsh, said.

Eileen was momentarily stunned. Then she said, "Can I marry him?"

Kole was about to refuse, but Greg waved him off. "Fine. We'll divorce after the surgery in a month."

Eileen looked at Greg, who didn't know her at that moment. She had lost weight from 75 kilograms to 40 kilograms and changed her name to Irene Shane.

So he didn't recognize her.

She said, "Alright. But you have to be Lottie's father for a month." She has dreamed of having a handsome father who loved her dearly since she was a little girl."

Greg didn't know she had given birth to his daughter.

He was the rich young man of Bexwell, and everyone in his circle knew that he had dated a poor, overweight woman for two years.

Greg had been so harsh to her. He even had his people break her leg just to force her to leave.

Eileen left Bexwell in disgrace and thought she would never cross paths with Greg again.

Yet now, he needed her blood to survive.

She was worried that Lottie might blame her for not saving her father after she knew the truth.

Otherwise, Eileen would never agree to save him.

Greg secretly looked at her and felt inexplicably familiar. "I'm very busy, but I'll try to make time."

After Eileen left, Kole asked, "Mr. Burton, why did you agree to such a strange request? Irene is clearly trying to get close to you to seduce you."

"She's putting herself at risk being a backup blood donor."

Greg furrowed his eyebrows and stared at Eileen downstairs. "It's about two lives. It's okay that I hold back for a month and spend a bit more money."

What he didn't say was that he felt strangely familiar with that woman.

He had once despised her, but he found himself madly yearning for her in countless sleepless nights.

How could the slender, limping Irene be similar to Eileen, who was chubby?

Perhaps he had been sick for too long and had hallucinations.

The next day, Greg didn't show up at City Hall.

Kole said with a cold expression, "Go ahead and complete the process. Mr. Burton has arranged everything."

Eileen didn't know how she and Greg would get married when he didn't show up.

Yet Kole led her into the director's office, and within five minutes, the procedure was finished.

They used the photo of her and Greg that was photoshopped.

Indeed, the power and influence of the Burton family were unrivaled. Nothing was too difficult for Greg.

As Eileen left, she caught a glimpse of the news about Greg on the TV in the hall.

"Greg Burton appears at the airport and is suspected of receiving his fiancée, the internationally renowned pianist, back home."

Kole watched the news as well. "Miss Shane, you know that without your blood, you'd never have contact with Mr. Burton."

Eileen forced a bitter smile.

Indeed, she was a country girl from a poor area and could never be a good match for Greg.

On the TV, Rena stood beside Greg. She was elegantly dressed in a bespoke outfit.

They looked like a perfect match.

Eileen couldn't help but recall what happened seven years ago.

At that time, she was 75 kilograms and stood out in the crowd.

Greg had a quarrel with his girlfriend, Rena, because she wanted to go abroad to further learn piano.

In a fit of anger, he randomly pointed at Eileen in the corner and said, "If you want to go, then go. I have another girlfriend now. It's her."

Everyone was shocked, and their gaze darted between Greg's handsome face and Eileen's plump figure.

Later, Eileen cornered Greg under a tree.

He leaned against the trunk, and his legs were stretched out casually. He looked casual yet noble and arrogant.

The light and shadow outlined his perfect jawline. His charming appearance stirred the hearts of every young woman who saw him.

Greg said to Eileen, "Let's make a deal. You act as my girlfriend, and I'll cover your tuition and living expenses."

Eileen was a poor student relying on loans and part-time jobs. It was hard for her to refuse such an offer.

Eileen knew she was just a tool for his momentary anger.

But she was an ordinary young woman and had dreamed of having an outstanding boyfriend like Greg.

And so, an absurd agreement began.

In the beginning, Eileen was fearful and worried about being exposed.

Yet Greg surprisingly fulfilled the role of her boyfriend earnestly.

In the cafeteria, others pointed at her and mocked her. "Look at that fat woman. She eats like a pig."

Greg slammed his tray on the table, and the loud noise silenced everyone.

He lazily stretched out his arm and pulled her into his embrace. "My girlfriend has a good appetite. It's a good thing. She is so cute. I love her type. Do you have a problem?"

His imposing presence shocked others, and they prompted quick apologies.

That day, Eileen felt that she could be cherished and loved for the first time, although she was ordinary and unattractive.

There was another time at the basketball court. After the game, Greg was surrounded by others, but he immediately spotted her holding a bottle of water at the sidelines.

He pushed through the crowd and walked straight to her. Then he took the bottle of water from her hands and drank it.

His friend cornered him in the locker room and said, "Greg, even if you want to make Rena angry, you can't pick a fat girl. Right?"

Greg slammed his friend against the wall and said, "Her name is Eileen. She's my girlfriend. If you say anything like that, I will get annoyed at you."

What Greg brought her was warmth and light she never dared to hope for.

But she knew deep down that she was not worthy of the affection that made her heart tremble because she was just an ordinary woman.

Later, she became useful. Rena came back to the country repeatedly and even got pregnant with Greg's baby.

But she didn't know why Greg hadn't married Rena yet.

"Miss Shane, the car is ready. Mr. Burton asked me to drive you home." Kole's voice interrupted her thoughts.

Eileen stopped recalling and smiled bitterly.

She returned home and said, "Lottie, there's a man who gets sick. We'll be his supportive companions and keep him company for a month. Okay? Just think you're spending this month with Daddy."

Lottie's eyes sparkled with anticipation. "Is he handsome?"

"Yes. He looks better than many celebrities." Eileen took out her phone and showed Lottie a picture.

"Oh my gosh, Daddy is so cool!" Lottie said with excitement, "I want Daddy to wear silver hair and a uniform and be in a photo with me!"

"Okay, I will buy them right away." Eileen didn't plan to tell Lottie the truth.

Greg would eventually marry Rena and have other children.

So it was merely a game that lasted thirty days.

After it ended, she would leave with Lottie forever.

The charity gala shimmered around me, but all I heard were hushed voices from behind a private lounge door. I was looking for Olivia, my wife of three years, the woman I believed was my true love. "He actually believes it, you know," Olivia' s voice, smooth as silk, drifted through the gap. "Three years, and he still thinks my 'no intimacy' rule is some noble test of true love." Then came a man's chuckle-Daniel Sterling, her adopted brother. "He's a useful fool, Liv," he said, his tone a mix of affection and contempt. "A perfect, respectable shield. Father got his business deal, and we got our time. Everyone's happy." My world crumbled. Every shared smile, every kiss, every whispered promise - all lies. I was the useful fool, a meticulously crafted performance for an audience of one. Shock rooted me. I couldn' t let them see me break. I backed away, each step a robotic act of will, leaving behind the poison they spoke. Even as I called Mr. Sterling, Olivia' s powerful father, my voice was cold and empty. "The agreement is over. The one that made me your daughter' s husband. It' s finished. Tonight." But Olivia' s mother, desperate to salvage the family name, revealed the dark truth: my marriage was a desperate attempt to break Olivia and Daniel' s "unhealthy" bond. I was just a pawn. She proposed a final, insane test: a yacht trip, an "accident" where Daniel and I would fall overboard, and Olivia would have to choose. I agreed, desperate for a definitive truth. On that boat, with the waves churning, Daniel shoved me. I surfaced, gasping, only to see Olivia frozen, then turning, swimming not to me, but to him. As the dark water pulled me under, her face, filled with belated horror, was the last thing I saw. Ethan Hayes, the architect, was dead. But I survived, pulled from the sea by a stranger, Sophia, who taught me what real love was. I built a new life, a happy life, but Olivia' s obsessed ghost couldn't let me go. I met her to end it, only to have Daniel appear, a bottle of acid in hand. He lunged for me, but Olivia, with a primal scream, threw herself in front of me, taking the caustic spray intended for me. Her screams will haunt me forever. They destroyed each other, leaving me free.

The cryptic message flashed on my phone: coordinates and a chilling command – "Come get your father." My heart hammered as I raced to a remote construction site, mud sucking at my boots. But the man crumpled on the ground, twisted at an unnatural angle, wasn't my dad. It was Emily's father, barely clinging to life, his face a bruised mess. Then Emily called, her voice cold and devoid of concern. "An ambulance? Don't be ridiculous, Liam. Do you have any idea what kind of scandal that would cause? I have the quarterly review next week and a promotion on the line." I stammered, "He's barely clinging to life!" "Then it's inconvenient timing," she said, her voice like ice. "Just get him out of there." I watched, frozen, as two burly men loaded her father onto a stretcher like a sack of debris, a piece of my own father's birdhouse, a gift tossed into the back of the van. "His death is so inconvenient," Emily' s voice echoed in my head. Back home, Emily and her friend Mark, her smirking business rival, accused my father of exploiting her, blaming him even for the birdhouse. My mother's jewelry box, the last tangible link to her, was shattered by Mark, its contents spilled across the floor. A cold, clear rage flooded me. I knew the truth, a truth they were desperately trying to bury. "The man you had beaten and left to die," I roared, pointing at Emily. "The man whose body you had dumped like trash… was your father." I had endured years of her father's criticism, her belittling, her financial exploitation. But now, something had snapped. I met her gaze, a numb certainty settling in. "I want a divorce."

My life was supposed to be a picture of domestic bliss: a beautiful two-story home, a thriving medical career, and a fiancée, Olivia, I' d loved since childhood. I arrived home after a routine shift at the hospital, ready for a quiet evening. Instead, I walked into a scene that shattered my world: Olivia, smiling, cozy on the couch with a strange man and his gleeful child, who was happily destroying my medical textbook. This wasn' t a misunderstanding; it was a brazen, public declaration of my replacement. When I confronted her, she dismissed me, choosing this stranger-who claimed he saved her life-over me. The betrayal escalated rapidly. They moved into our home, driving me to the guest room. The man's son maliciously destroyed my most treasured possession: a portrait of my deceased parents. When I protested, Olivia didn' t hesitate to side with them, accusing me of violence and painting me as unstable to justify her choices. The shame and humiliation were an open wound, the emotional neglect of months now a brutal, undeniable rejection. How could she turn on me so completely, so easily? How could someone I' d known my entire life discard me for a lie, for a manufactured crisis? Why was I, the one who had literally saved her, now deemed a danger in my own home? The world I knew crumbled, leaving me adrift. Then, in a moment of pure desperation, after being publicly humiliated and cast out, I remembered a desperate impulse from earlier that day: I had impulsively married a stranger, Sarah, out of a raw, desperate act of self-prespreservation. I sent her a text, asking if her offer for a place to stay still stood. Little did I know, this impulsive act would lead me to true salvation.
