Chapter 4
I sprawled out lazily on the porch swing, listening to Ms. Mia rant.
“Miss Lila, the Blackwoods aren’t fools.
You say the word, and that man will march you straight to the courthouse and put a ring on it.
You’re really gonna just sit here and watch her steal your man?”
Of course not.
But I wasn’t in a rush..
Since Evelyn wanted to start the drama,
she was clearly waiting for her star opponent to take the stage.
But please–I’m a Hart.
My family’s been crushing boardrooms since before she was born.
You think I’m scared of this?
Not a chance.
If Grandma Eleanor gets her way, Vincent and I are getting married by Christmas.k
Just a few months to go.
And once that ring’s on my finger?
I’ll be his wife.
The wife.
Then if I slap the mistress across the face, who’s gonna say anything?
When Vincent brought Evelyn home that day,
I pretended to be asleep on the lounger.
Didn’t even flinch.
But of course, he walked right up, grinning like an idiot.
“Come on, drop the act.”
I didn’t move.
Didn’t even open my eyes.
“You’re pouting in your sleep now? Damn. Who got you all worked up, princess?”
I let out a dry laugh.
“Please, Mr. Blackwood, go do whatever your heart desires.

Chapter 4
As your lawful wife, I’ve decided to be… gracious.”
I opened my eyes slowly and looked at him.
“In fact, maybe I’ll personally help you pick out a concubine.”
His smile dropped like a rock.
Back when we first met, he’d talk about Evelyn like she was a goddess.
I was sick of it.
So I smiled, told him I didn’t care–then turned around and started dating Daniel Reeves, my childhood friend who’d just taken over his family’s tech empire.
Vincent panicked.
Tracked my every move.
Clung to me like a lovesick puppy.
“Lila, why don’t you eat with me anymore?”
“Why don’t you text me back?”
“Come on, I need a hug–I’m dying over here.”
Vincent, you’re the Blackwood heir, and I’m a damn heiress myself.
You think I’m gonna spend my life being your emotional widow?
Back then, I almost said yes to Daniel.
Honestly, if I had, our kid would probably be in preschool by now.
But Vincent gave up everything and chased me hard.
Even when I iced him out, he’d sit in the corner of the room, biting on his chopsticks and smiling like a fool.
Men…
are pathetic.
And right on cue, Evelyn came slinking over.
She swayed her hips like she was on stage.
“Lila, I swear I didn’t mean to come between you two.
I never imagined Vincent would chase me to the airport.
Stop a whole plane for me? That was never the plan.”
“I guess my good intentions just keep backfiring.”
“But clearly–his heart belongs to you. There’s no room left for me.”
“If you’re still upset, I can promise–you won’t see me again. Ever.”

Vincent spun around fast, pulling her aside.
“You promised me you wouldn’t just take off like that again! Why are you suddenly running?”
Evelyn’s face crumpled into tears, dripping down like she was auditioning for a tragic drama.
“I’m a person too!
Why is it that everyone else is allowed feelings–but when I get upset, I’m the bad guy?!”
“I’m just a nobody. I don’t have money, I don’t have power.
You can’t just bully me because you can!”
“If I’m such a burden to both of you, if you want me gone so badly… why don’t you just push me off a cliff and be done with it?!”
