The Substitute Wife's Spectacular Comeback

About this story

Synopsis

When Chloe accidentally sliced her hand open, she immediately called her husband of three years for comfort. Bentley claimed he was stuck in Chicago on a business trip. But when Chloe went to the hospital for stitches, she saw him in a VIP room, tenderly kissing the hand of a fragile woman who looked exactly like her. Breaking into his locked study, Chloe found his hidden journal. She realized she was just a cheap substitute. He had only married her because she was a dead ringer for his fiancé, Blair, who had been in a coma. Now that Blair was awake, Bentley brought her to Chloe's private dress fitting. "Give her the dress. You're being selfish," Bentley demanded coldly. He forced Chloe to strip off her custom-made Met Gala gown to please Blair. He even secretly laced Chloe's daily tea with pills to ensure she never got pregnant. For three years, Chloe had built her life around him, only to realize her entire marriage was a cruel joke. How could he hold her tightly in their bed, whisper another woman's name in his sleep, and expect her to just accept it? When Bentley ripped up the divorce papers and threatened to destroy her architectural career, Chloe didn't shed a single tear. She packed up her blueprints, secured a billion-dollar island project with a mysterious tycoon, and walked out the door. This time, the substitute was resigning.
