Chapter 1: Marrying on Behalf
"Be good, hold me, don't move..."
The man's magnetic, low and hoarse voice sounded in the darkness, and hot gas sprayed in her ears.
His whole body was hot, and the temperature and touch made her tense up nervously.
Zenobia Lopez's breath was rapid.
She want to escape, but she can't.
It's like falling into the deep sea and about to drown.
He placed hot and wet kisses one by one.
Drops of water from his forehead dripped onto her neck and slowly moved down.
The man's hot fingers wiped the sweat from her collarbone, caressing it with his fingertips, tenderly and lovingly...
This suffocating feeling almost swallowed her up...
His lips were close to her ears, and he said hoarsely and seductively: "Don't be afraid, I will marry you."
The man wiped away her tears gently, as if he was treating her as a rare treasure. The next moment, he took away all her breath...
Zenobia's breath hitched and she snapped her eyes open.
Looking around, she was still in the car.
She had another dream that had troubled her for years.
The dangerous atmosphere in the room...
The man's hoarse voice...
Everything is so real.
She breathed heavily, adjusting to the situation, but what happened five years ago still lingered in her mind.
The sun is shining outside the car window.
City A is more prosperous than it was five years ago.
Before she knew it, she had lived in a mental hospital for five years.
Five years ago, she was defrauded of her virginity by her younger sister Pamela Lopez.
A month later, she became pregnant, but she didn't know who the father was and gave birth to a stillborn baby that same year.
At that time, her father's business was booming and everyone in the Lopez Family had shares, including her, the unloved daughter who had been sent down the mountain since she was a child.
Her mother and sister collaborated to ruthlessly send her to a mental hospital, and took away her 10% stake in Lopez Family while she was weak after giving birth.
Now, Pamela is going to marry the second young master of the Clemens Family. Rumor has it that Ferdinand Clemens is an ugly, seriously ill disabled man who was predicted by a fortune teller on the day he was born that he would not live past the age of 28.
Only a handful of people have ever seen him.
How could her mother bear to let Pamela marry him, so she remembered her and asked her to marry in his place to bring him happiness.
Therefore, a driver was sent overnight to pick her up from the mental hospital.
If it wasn't related to Pamela's lifelong happiness, they might never have remembered her existence.
Zenobia's eyes were cold, she leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes again.
She must take back what belongs to her!
She will not let anyone who owes her go!
While she was thinking, she arrived at the Lopez Family villa.
After five years, she no longer has any feelings for this place.
She strode in, and just as she reached the door, she saw Roberta Veblen happily peeling walnuts for Pamela.
"Pamela, if you hadn't come up with the idea of letting Zenobia, that money-loser, marry and become a widow, Mom would have cried to death today."
Pamela said softly, "Mom, don't say that to my sister. If it wasn't her this time, I don't know what to do. I'm just afraid that my sister won't agree."
"She has no sense of self-discipline. I don't know which wild man got her pregnant and gave birth to a dead child. It's lucky that she can get married. Moreover, the man is from a prestigious family like the Clemens Family. What right does she have to be picky?"
"Your mother is right. You are too kind. How come you have forgotten so quickly how she slandered you five years ago?" Edward Lopez also said with a straight face.
Pamela nodded with a clear conscience: "Dad, don't worry, I won't be like my sister. My brother and I will definitely be the pride of you and mom."
Edward only smiled slightly when he heard her mention Herman Lopez.
The year before last, the Lopez Family was able to overcome the financial crisis thanks to Herman. In the past two years, the company has thrived thanks to his business acumen.
"Why do you think I dare not refuse?" Zenobia's voice, neither light nor heavy but full of coldness, suddenly sounded.
The three of them were stunned and looked towards the door.
Roberta's face changed and she accused, "Why are you coming back here instead of going to Clemens Family?"
"Grandma made a will before she died. Pamela and I each own 10% of Lopez Family's shares. Shouldn't you return the shares to me?"
Edward was furious. He slammed the table and strode towards her. "If you hadn't done something shameful that almost affected the Lopez Family's stock, why would I cancel your shares? How dare you mention this matter!?"
Zenobia was not afraid at all, she looked straight into his angry eyes and smiled, "It's okay if you don't give it to me."
Then, she walked to the sofa and found a comfortable position to sit down, crossed her legs comfortably, and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Today, I won't get married!"
"You!" Edward raised his hand to hit her.
Zenobia didn't dodge, she raised her face, her eyes gradually turned cold, and she said slowly: "Come on, hit me here, once this slap comes down, I don't want the shares anymore, and the matter of marrying in my place is out of the question!!"
