He Thought I’d Beg for My Ring Back. I Took 51 of His Family Instead

The night before our two families were set to seal their alliance, I returned to the city without warning.

And inside the estate, I found the man I had been promised to for five years with another woman.

What unsettled me most was her face.

She looked almost exactly like me.

For all the years I'd spent overseas handling the Valente family's affairs, she'd been at his side, quietly filling the place I'd left behind.

When I called him for an explanation, he only sighed.

"She stayed with me while you were gone. I can't just cast her out now. A man without loyalty is nothing."
