Chapter 1

I was born with sultry bedroom eyes, snow-white skin, and a killer body.

In our elite high society circle, this look was branded as "the face of a born homewrecker."

Meanwhile, my half-sister, Chloe Vance, was the epitome of a pure, innocent lily.

She was hailed as the "Upper East Side’s Sweetheart" by the debutantes, the exact kind of "classy trophy wife" that wealthy matriarchs dreamed of.

With me as her trashy foil, her reputation for grace and virtue spread like wildfire across the city.

Everyone said that a cheap, flashy vixen like me was only fit to be a dirty secret—a mistress for some greasy, middle-aged tycoon.

That was until Julian Sterling, the most powerful bachelor at the top of the empire, announced a public search for his fiancée.

To show off her elegance, Chloe dragged me along to the gala as her personal background prop.

Who could have guessed that Julian would declare on the spot that he would propose to me the next day with a billion-dollar dowry?

Blinded by jealousy and rage, Chloe immediately packaged me up and sold me to a bald, creepy CEO with some very twisted bedroom fetishes.

On the day of the proposal, I stood cold and detached, watching Chloe in her designer gown, eagerly waiting by the entrance.

But Julian didn't come to propose to her. Instead, he kicked the Vance family's front gates open, his security team tearing down the entire wall of romantic red roses she had set up.

"You dared to use a cheap fake to trick me? I will destroy the Vance family for this!"
