"Ah... Ethan, slow down, you're going too fast! Ahh, I can't take it anymore."

"Is that all it takes to leave you breathless? My darling, there’s a world of pleasure still to come.

"Shanese stood outside the door, the indecent conversation from inside making her tremble from rage!

This was her bridal chamber, the bridal chamber that was prepared for her and Lucas.

She had meticulously chosen every item in the room, and all the arrangements were made with careful thought.

The wedding bed had arrived just yesterday.

And their wedding was supposed to be held tomorrow.

Yet today, her fiancé was in their bridal bed, deeply intertwined with another woman!

She could see clothes scattered from the doorway into the bedroom, the door was not shut tightly and showed a small gap, through which she could see the two people intertwined on the bed!

"Your fiancé is banging my girlfriend."

The intense gaze of the tall man standing behind her was like an eagle in the night—cold, domineering, and proud.

"I...I'm also a victim."

With a jolt, Shanese returned to her senses, her eyes reddening with a sense of shame.

The wall was already adorned with her and Lucas's wedding photo, the wedding banquet was all set, and now, she was more devastated than anyone else.

"Shanese?"

Lucas finally noticed that someone was at the doorway and he was so frightened that he rolled away from the woman and crawled off the bed.

To her astonishment, the woman remained poised and sensually draped a blanket over herself, exuding an air of confidence that was far from the panic one would expect from a girlfriend caught in the act.

"Shanese, please let me explain."

Covering himself with the bedsheet, Lucas rushed over, his face flushed as he hurriedly spoke.

Shanese looked at the man who she was about to marry, but he seemed so unfamiliar to her at that moment.

With a loud smack, she slapped him across the face.

"Okay, explain.”

"It was an accident; I just wanted to test if the bed was comfortable enough... I couldn't resist..."

Shanese: "..."

If he had claimed that he was forced or drugged, maybe she might have believed him.

But then he had the nerve to admit that he wanted to test whether the bed was comfortable.

"Lucas, do you think I'm stupid?"

Face flushed with embarrassment, Lucas roared in anger, "Yes, I cheated on you, and what are you going to do about it? It's your fault! You're still playing hard-to-get even though we're about to marry, only willing to hold hands and not even willing to kiss. Do you think this is a schoolboy romance? I have needs as a man. If you won't be with me, I'll have no option but to seek pleasure somewhere else.

"So, you think your cheating is all my fault?"

She couldn't believe how shameless Lucas could be. Instead of feeling remorse, he had the gall to turn the tables and insist that it was all her fault.

Her chest was about to explode from anger, and her mind was completely blank, with tears whirling in her eyes. She looked at him.

"Of course, it's your fault. If you had let me touch you earlier, I certainly wouldn't have messed around with others." Lucas said arrogantly.

After saying that, he softened his tone and coaxed her: "Jinchu, we're getting married tomorrow, let's pretend this never happened. You wouldn't want to disappoint your grandma, would you? She has been eagerly waiting for you to get married, if you cancel the wedding at the last minute, she will worry about you."

"You're right," Shanese said with tear-filled eyes. "I can't let grandma worry about me, so... I can't cancel the wedding."

Lucas revealed a smug expression.

He knew that girls like Shanese were easy to manipulate.

"I'll marry you." The man behind her suddenly spoke, uttering something astonishing!

Shanese turned around in surprise to look at him.

The man was remarkably handsome, with sharply defined features that looked as though they had been crafted by an artist, making him irresistibly attractive.

"Are you joking?" Shanese asked.

"Whether it's a joke or not, you'll know if you try." The man held her hand.

"Who are you? She's my woman."

Lucas reached out his hand in desperation, intending to separate them.

Unexpectedly, the man remained unfazed, brushing him aside with a simple wave of his hand. He looked coldly at the woman on the bed before leaving with Shanese.

.........

An hour later, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the Department of Civil Affairs.

"Do you have your ID card with you?" The man asked.

"I always carry it with me," Shanese responded.

"That's a good habit." The man commented and proceeded to walk inside.

At this moment, New York City was deep into summer, and today was especially boiling hot!

Walking from the car to the entrance, was just a short distance, however a thin layer of sweat had already appeared on Shanese's forehead.

Her cheeks were also flushed, making her eyes look even darker and brighter.

The man was holding her hand, his hand was slender and strong, with well-defined knuckles and a solid grip that felt warm which conveyed both strength and reliability.

But she was still very nervous, even a little anxious.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally gathered up the courage to shake off the man's hand.

Raising her flushed little face, she looked at him with her bright eyes and asked tentatively: "Are you truly serious about marrying me?"

"I don't like joking." The man replied.

"But I don't know who you are, and I don't understand you. I imagine you don't understand me either. We don't know each other well, and it seems inappropriate to get married under these circumstances."

Earlier, in a moment of frustration in front of Lucas, she had agreed in haste.

Now that she had regained her composure, she felt it was inappropriate and unfair to the man.

"My last name is Spence, Davian is my first name," the man introduced himself, then asked, "For tomorrow's wedding, who will you choose, Lucas or me?"

Shanese thought to herself, I don't want to choose either.

But she knew that was impossible. The wedding tomorrow must proceed as planned. If it were canceled, her grandmother would be concerned, and she wasn't in a position to be so selfish.

"I choose you," declared Shanese.

Remembering Lucas's betrayal, she felt a surge of anger rising in her chest.

Whatever happens in the future did not matter anymore, all she wanted to do was to get past the obstacle in front of her.

Hmm, she thought...Davian, that name seemed familiar like she had heard it somewhere before.

Regardless, there was no time to ponder any further. She couldn't find a more suitable person than him in such a short time.

This man was both dignified and extraordinarily handsome. Meanwhile, aside from her attractive appearance, she felt she had little else to offer and doubted he would have any reason to deceive her.

The process of obtaining the marriage certificate was quick, they both emerged from the Department of Civil Affairs. in no time.

However, as soon as they were outside, Davian took her marriage certificate.

"It would be better to keep it myself!" Shanese stated.

"Leave it with me." Davian's tone was firm, leaving no room for rejection.

Shanese pursed her lips, choosing not to argue with him over such a trivial issue.

"By the way, about the wedding tomorrow..."

"Leave that to me."

"Oh, alright."

Shanese obediently nodded.

"I'll have my driver take you home."

Before she knew it, another car had already pulled up, and the driver was standing by the roadside, opening the door for her.

Shanese wanted to ask him, where he was going. However, after some thought, she decided not to ask.

Even though they had already obtained the marriage certificate, they hardly knew each other, so she didn't want to be too nosy.

After getting into the car and giving her home address, she began to think about how she would explain this situation to her family.

Changing the groom just a day before the wedding would make her the first person in the whole city who has ever done such a thing.
