Every woman was looking forward to marrying her beloved man. So was I. I married Patrick Cowell, the man who I had a crush on for twelve years, in the name of my sister. My sister Caroline and I were twins, but she grew up in a rich and noble family while I grew up in an orphanage. She begged me to marry Patrick as her substitute because she didn't want to marry him. I agreed sweetly. Patrick was the only heir of the richest family in this city. Handsome, rich, and powerful. However, I didn't expect that he treated me cruelly in bed as if I was his enemy. Because he knew I was not his bride? Oh no!!!

"Let them stop beating her," I said to Shelton.

"It is her own choice, isn't it?" When Shelton spoke, the look in his eyes was as gentle as ever.

I was anxious, saying, "But the baby in her belly is yours!"

I didn't sympathize with Emily. But the child was innocent, right?

And from the bottom of my heart, I probably hoped that Shelton and Emily could be together in the end.

Looking at me, Shelton said calmly, "You can bear a child for me, can't you?"

"I..." I hesitated for a moment, feeling messy in my heart.

Patrick, who had been standing on the side, stood up and pulled me, "Shelton, you can't force others to love you. Don't you know about this?"

As Shelton and Patrick both pulled me, the bodyguards beat Emily so hard that she looked in pain.
