On the eve of our wedding, Chloe Vance fell from a building and died. Everyone was convinced that I, the devoted fiancé, would follow her in death out of grief. But I didn't shed a single tear. Three years later, I met her again. Not only had she come back from the dead, but she also had amnesia. "You're my former fiancé? Haven't seen you in years, how did you get so shabby? For old times' sake, I can spare you one day a week to serve me." I didn't even spare her a glance. Chloe didn't know that on the night she fell, I received a video recording. She also didn't know that during the three years she pretended to have amnesia and traveled the world with Liam Black, I had gotten married. And the person I married was her biological sister. Chapter 1 In the private VIP room, the crowd hadn't noticed me standing at the door yet. Someone suddenly brought it up. "Chloe, it's been three years. What do you plan to do about Julian Sterling?" Chloe brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, indifferent. "It's been three years, no rush. Let's talk about it after I marry Liam." The crowd laughed and chimed in. "If you ask me, that Julian Sterling is such a simp. Seeing Chloe again after three years, he'll probably be shocked stupid!" "I heard he's been living in squalor these past three years. Without Chloe, his life is indeed crap." The room was filled with an air of merriment, the mockery in everyone's voices undisguised. Just as I was about to leave, someone spotted me and shouted: "Julian Sterling!?" I was exposed to everyone's gaze. The person who was making the most noise just now scratched his head awkwardly, trying to smooth things over. "Julian, Chloe is still alive. We didn't tell you because she lost her memory and we were afraid of agitating you." I glanced at them with disgust. Before I could speak, Chloe looked me up and down. "So you're my fiancé? Why do you look so shabby? They say your living standards plummeted without me these past three years?" Chloe was still as arrogant and spoiled as ever. But I no longer had the tolerance I once did. Now, facing her, I felt only endless annoyance. Seeing my silence, Chloe wasn't angry. She leaned lazily into Liam's embrace, her index finger circling on his chest. Liam smiled and held Chloe's mischievous hand, casting a provocative glance at me. "Julian, haven't seen you in three years. How did you end up like this? No wonder Chloe forgot you. Who could remember you like this?" I frowned tightly, hands instinctively clenching into fists, disgusted by their debauchery. Chloe mistook my reaction for pain at their display of affection and looked smug. "Alright, don't be so jealous. If you want to continue being with me, you have to adapt to this relationship. Don't worry, I'll save one day a week for you." As soon as she finished, the people around immediately surrounded me, jeering with schadenfreude and belittlement. "Oh Julian, look, Chloe still has feelings for you. Even with amnesia, she keeps you in her heart, saving a day a week for you!" "As long as you serve Chloe and Liam well, won't your life be better than before? Look at your shabby state. Had enough of the poor life? You have to seize this opportunity!" Liam leaned back on the sofa, legs resting on the coffee table, holding Chloe in his arms. He clicked his tongue. "No choice, Julian. You'll have to suffer a bit for now. After all, the person Chloe loves most now is me." Chloe chuckled at this. She admired her fresh manicure and glanced at me indifferently. "What's there to feel aggrieved about? He loves me to death. He should be secretly happy to have even one day." Hearing this, my heart clenched painfully. Chloe was so strange now I dared not recognize her. Years ago, she loved me so much. Once, when I had a high fever of 104 degrees that wouldn't break for days, she dropped all her work to guard me day and night. She even personally climbed Mount Wuling, taking 9,999 steps, kowtowing every step, to pray for a safety amulet for me. Back then, looking at her swollen, bleeding forehead and bloody knees, I was too heartbroken to speak, calling her silly. But she held my face lovingly with both hands. "As long as you are safe and healthy, it's worth it even if it costs my life." Everything from the past was vivid in my mind, but reality had long changed. Turns out a person can change so much. Chapter 2 I suppressed the surging emotions, met Chloe's moist eyes, showed the wedding ring on my hand, and tried to keep my tone calm. "You've mistaken me for someone else." "Also, I'm already married." The room fell silent instantly. Everyone looked at each other, exchanging glances, before bursting into laughter. Chloe raised an eyebrow faintly, glancing indifferently at the ring on my hand. "Married? Married which old auntie?" "Look at your shabby state. Did you buy that ring at a dollar store? What, thought this would stimulate my memory of you?" With that, she stood up quickly and yanked the ring off my ring finger. I had been exhausted from working on a project these past few days and couldn't dodge in time. Liam stepped forward to examine the wedding ring carefully, then suddenly laughed out loud. "Chloe, why does this ring look so much like the 'Heart of Eternity' wedding rings your sister bid for in France three years ago?" "Don't tell me Julian says he married your sister, Aria Vance?" Liam looked at me sideways, playing with the wedding ring in his hand. The private room became even livelier. This was too absurd for them. After all, Aria Vance was the primary heir of the Vance family now. Ruthless and decisive, she was the Ice Queen no one dared to offend in the business world. Yet such a person suddenly flash-married a mysterious man three years ago and loved him to the bone. For three years, no matter how the media dug, they couldn't find a trace of information about her husband and daughter. "Julian, you're not trying to say you're that mysterious man no one could dig up for three years, are you?" Liam tossed the ring high and caught it, the diamonds flashing dazzlingly under the lights. "Oh, I have to say, the craftsmanship of this fake is really good. Which factory did you find to imitate it?" Their successive mockery made me impatient. "Don't touch my ring, it's real..." Before I could finish, Chloe slapped my face to the side. My cheek burned with pain instantly. "Julian Sterling, have you lost your mind? You dare spread rumors about my sister! Who doesn't know she loves my brother-in-law to death? Even I haven't seen his true face, and you dare to impersonate him. Who gave you the guts?!" I licked my dry lips, slowly turned my head, and met Chloe's gaze. Perhaps my look was too terrifying; Chloe shrank back. Seeing this, Liam immediately jumped in. He shielded Chloe behind him and pointed at my nose, cursing: "Julian, how can you be so ungrateful? Chloe already promised to accompany you one day a week. It's fine if you don't cherish it, but now you dare to impersonate her brother-in-law. Who in the capital circle doesn't know Chloe's sister's weak spot is her mysterious husband? Are you doing this to make her sister angry at Chloe? How vicious is your heart!" Hearing this, I felt a sense of daze. Once, Liam couldn't tolerate me anywhere and had to suppress me in everything. He even smeared me in front of Chloe every day to break us up. But back then, Chloe didn't believe him at all and even punished Liam severely for his malicious slander. But now, the person who used to defend me the most stood with Liam. She held Liam's hand and slammed a stack of cash onto my face. "Enough, stop pretending. For old times' sake, I won't pursue this. Look at your shabby state; this money is enough for you to live it up for a month." The sharp corner cut my face, oozing beads of blood. I ignored it, just looked up and stared dead at Chloe. A trace of guilt and panic inexplicably flashed across her face. Seeing this, I chuckled and bent down. The guilt and panic on Chloe's face faded, replaced by mockery again. "Thought you had some backbone..." The next second, her words halted. Under Chloe's dull gaze, I found the ring among the pile of red bills. Chloe paused, blocking me before I left the room. "Why are you still pretending even now? Any bill on the floor is enough to buy dozens of your broken rings!" Her expression was complex, with a hint of anger upon closer look. Ignoring her mood swings, I slapped her hand away fiercely. Chloe's hand froze in mid-air, her teeth grinding audibly. "Fine, you've grown bold. Poverty really gives you a temper. My wedding with Liam is in three days. My sister is returning to the country that day too, and she'll bring my mysterious brother-in-law. If you have the guts, come to the wedding!" Chapter 3 Hearing the word "wedding," Liam's eyes lit up, and he quickly added: "Maybe he's afraid of being exposed and won't dare to come." I didn't want to entangle with them anymore. I turned and strode away, leaving one sentence behind. "I'll be there in three days. I hope you'll still be this confident then." Walking out of the club quickly, breathing fresh air, the nausea in my stomach finally subsided a lot. I took out my phone and watched the video I received three years ago again. In the video, the woman nestled in Liam's arms, smiling lazily and wantonly. "Julian Sterling is too boring. Although I love him, he can't give me the feeling I want." "This fake death, I'll go back when I've had enough fun. He's good for settling down. But with this stunt, knowing his personality, he might want to die for love. You guys have to watch him." The day I got the death certificate, I did think about ending it all. It was her friends who kept stopping me from doing anything foolish. Thinking back now, their distorted crying sounds were clearly them trying hard to hold back laughter. I put away my phone and looked at the dim streetlights. Whether Chloe is dead or alive, in my heart, there has been no place for her since three years ago. Three days later, I arrived at the wedding venue as promised. When Chloe saw me step into the venue, her tense expression suddenly relaxed. I withdrew my gaze and prepared to sit down unhurriedly, but someone tripped me hard, and I fell onto the nine-tier cake beside me. The decorations and cream crashed down. My tailored black suit was covered in cream, and I looked wretched. The wine glass also fell to the ground, the splashing glass shards scratching my face, blood oozing from my forehead. The venue was instantly in an uproar, everyone's eyes glued to me. Cream blurred my vision. I struggled to get up, but before I could stand steady, I was pushed down heavily again. Liam's angry roar came from above. "Julian, what do you mean? We kindly invited you to the wedding, you didn't even give a gift, fine, but you deliberately sabotaged our wedding. Can't stand to see us happy, can you?!" Many people came to this wedding, mostly hearing that Aria Vance would attend with her mysterious husband, rushing to curry favor with her sister. "What kind of people exist nowadays? Daring to bully Aria Vance's sister, making a scene at her wedding. Let's see how he ends up!" "Hey, look at the ring on that man's hand. Why does it look so much like the 'Heart of Eternity' Aria Vance bid heavily for three years ago? How bold is this person!" "Who doesn't know Aria loves her husband to the bone? Daring to be an imposter in such a setting, he must be tired of living!" Chloe also heard these words. Her chest heaved violently with anger, her beautiful eyes seeming to spit fire. "Julian, you jinx! I must have been blind to like you back then. You even wear this fake broken ring. Do you want my sister to deal with you personally when she arrives?!" With that, she lifted her skirt and ran towards me, then stomped on the ring finger of my left hand, grinding hard. Severe pain shot from the base of my finger. Ten fingers connected to the heart; I felt like thousands of sharp blades were piercing my heart. Seeing I wanted to struggle, Liam immediately shouted for everyone to hold me down. For a moment, I couldn't move. Cream covered my vision. I wanted to struggle but couldn't, finally roaring: "Aria Vance is my wife!" Chloe laughed upon hearing this, as if hearing a fantasy. Her foot pressed down harder, the heel tip about to break my ring finger. "Still thinking of being an imposter even now. Wait till my sister comes, see how you explain! She loves my brother-in-law so much, just wait to die!" Seeing Chloe was relentless, I felt despair in my heart. I tried my best to break free but was pinned down firmly by the crowd. I gritted my teeth inwardly. When the time comes, I won't let any of these people off! Chloe applied force again, the sound of breaking bone clearly audible. I groaned in pain, but suddenly my body felt light. The crowd ignored me, hurriedly getting up to tidy their appearance, looking forward with burning eyes. The waiters opened the hall doors, and Aria Vance walked in with a daughter, surrounded like the moon by stars.
