The Captivating Wife's Revenge

"It hurts, please be gentle... I can't take it."

"You can't handle it? I think you need more!"

"Stop, stop, I really can't take it... my dear brother-in-law."

"If you mention I am your brother-in-law again, I'll punish you."

"But... you... you are my brother-in-law... It's so deep, you're amazing."

The door to the master bedroom at the end of the hallway was slightly ajar, and the sounds coming from inside slithered into Lily Martin's ears like venomous snakes.

Lily Martin's blood froze instantly, and the glass she was holding slipped from her fingers, shattering on the carpet. The water spread quickly, resembling a decaying flower.

She burst through the door, and the scene before her made her stomach churn. The silk sheets she had carefully chosen were in disarray, and Eric Allen's bare back was facing her. In his arms was Haven Martin, wearing the silk nightgown that was meant for Lily, with suggestive red marks on her collarbone.

Haven Martin shrank back into Eric Allen's arms, her eyes reddening instantly, tears streaming down like broken pearls. "Lily, it's not what you think. I... I was just helping Eric find a document..."

Eric calmly pulled the blanket over Haven and turned around, his face regaining its usual composure, with a hint of barely noticeable annoyance. "Since you've seen it, I won't hide it from you. Haven and I are truly in love. Being with you was only because you were beneficial to my career."

Lily wanted to laugh, but her throat felt like it had been scraped with sandpaper, unable to make a sound.

Eight years. She had stood by him, helping him rise from being a scorned illegitimate child to the CEO of Horizon Innovations Group. She had handed over the company from her mother's family to Eric, helping him grow it into a powerhouse.

And now?

Eric had achieved success and was kicking her aside.

She had thought she was his one true love, but in reality, she was just a stepping stone!

Lily looked at Haven hiding behind Eric, her half-exposed face showing a secretive smugness. She suddenly remembered the pearl brooch her mother had left her, which had gone missing a few days ago and was later found in Haven's jewelry box. Haven had laughed it off, saying Lily must have misplaced it.

Downstairs, she heard the sound of the maid Jada opening the door, followed by two sets of footsteps approaching.

She remembered.

Her father, Zane Martin, and stepmother, Celeste Phillips, were coming to her new home today. They had planned to have a family dinner before the wedding.

Lily, grasping at her last hope, rushed out to seek justice from Zane.

"Dad!"

Zane saw her pale face and the mess on the floor, understanding immediately. His brows furrowed, but not with the anger Lily had hoped for. Celeste stepped forward, holding Lily's arm, the strong scent of her perfume making Lily dizzy. "Lily, calm down. Haven is still young, and Eric was just momentarily confused..."

"Momentarily confused?"

Lily shook off her hand, looking at Zane in disbelief. "Dad, they were in my wedding room..."

Zane interrupted her, "Enough! The Martin family and the Allen family cannot lose face in Harmony City! Tomorrow's wedding will proceed as planned, but..." He paused, his gaze sweeping over Haven hiding behind Eric, "but the bride will be Haven. As her older sister, can't you be generous and let them be happy?"

Let them be happy?

Lily felt like she had heard the biggest joke in the world. She looked at the three people who were supposed to be the closest to her, their faces showing no guilt, as if she were the one at fault. Celeste handed her a cup of warm water, her tone gentle as always. "Lily, drink some water and calm down. If this gets out, it won't be good for anyone. Just this once, for the sake of the Martin family."
