Part 1Business Marriage: Agreed to Go Separate Ways, but I Slept with Him After Getting Drunk

I had an arranged marriage with Lucas Gray.

I couldn't forget my childhood friend, and he had an unresolved love for his childhood sweetheart.

The kicker? Those two were actually a couple.

Originally, we agreed to secretly sabotage their relationship and then divorce once we succeeded.

But when I saw them kissing, Lucas forcefully kissed me.

He said, "Your childhood friend kissed my sweetheart. I can't let myself be at a disadvantage."

I believed him.

Until later when I got pregnant. I cried!

He said, "It's legal, and you made the first move."

On the day Lucas and I got our marriage certificate, the wedding photographer tried multiple times before sighing in frustration.

"Are you two really here to get married?"

"Sir, you look like you have a grudge against this lady."

I chuckled.

"You're right, he does kind of hate me right now."

That's because the person he wanted to marry wasn't me, but his childhood sweetheart Bella Johnson.

I was actually quite satisfied with him though.

Even though the person I wanted to marry wasn't him either, but my childhood friend Zack Carter.

But what could we do? My unattainable childhood love and his unresolved sweetheart were passionately in love with each other.

After discovering their relationship, I tried every way I could to break them up.

But my efforts were largely ineffective.

Then my family received a marriage proposal from the Gray family.

I was happy about it.

Arranged marriages, you know - all wealthy heirs understand. It's just a piece of paper, not about feelings.

The key point is that his situation was truly similar to mine.

I'd gain a highly intelligent ally. We could break those two up and then divorce later.

Plus, I heard from my dad that the Gray family had willingly conceded several big projects to seek this marriage alliance.

At least three hundred million dollars in profit per year.

No matter how you look at it, I was coming out ahead.

Looking at Lucas's gloomy face beside me, I had to admit his looks were really not bad. Even angry, he was so handsome. I should try to cheer him up a bit.

I stood on my tiptoes and hooked my arm around Lucas's neck, whispering in his ear.

"Don't worry, we'll figure out our situation in due time."

"Come on, let's take the photos first."

I grabbed his hand and adjusted our position.

He looked at his hand tightly gripped in mine, then at me.

His expression changed from gloomy to expressionless.

Well, as long as we could get the photos taken, that was fine.

After leaving city hall, Lucas drove me home.

I was flipping through our two red marriage booklets when I suddenly spoke up.

"Husband."

The car suddenly slowed down. Lucas turned his head, his eyes locked on me with complex emotions.

I continued.

"Sigh, I've wanted to call Zack 'husband' for so long. I wonder if I'll ever get the chance in this lifetime."

Before I finished speaking, Lucas let out a heavy breath and suddenly floored the gas pedal.

Terrified, I grabbed Lucas's arm and promised him.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely make sure you get to call Bella 'wife'!"

Lucas didn't respond. His face was tense, and the car sped up even more.

I gripped the handle and screamed repeatedly.

This was too much, Lucas.

Just because he couldn't marry the girl he liked.

Was he trying to drag me down with him?
