Gwendolyn had spent her formative years in the tranquil comfort of the countryside. After her father's untimely death and her mother's swift remarriage, her life took an unexpected detour. As an adult, her calculating mother summoned her back to the urban jungle to take her step-sister's place at the altar. The lucky groom? Howard, the Chadwick family's paraplegic.
Dawn had barely broken on their second day of matrimonial bliss when Howard gave her two options: "Divorce or play the widow. Your call." Gwendolyn, not missing a beat, unceremoniously ripped off his dress pants, running her hands up his surprisingly firm thigh, and boldly announced, "I opt for plan C."
Before long, her uncanny ability to heal the sick and restore vitality was causing a stir, gaining her considerable recognition. And Howard, the supposed paraplegic and family embarrassment, turned out to be a stealthy billionaire, whose condition was cured under her expert care—and landed her with a bonus bundle of joy! Nobility and socialites flocked to her for their medical woes. Those who'd once scorned her were now drowning in regret, begging for her forgiveness. Even an elite lady started showing up on her doorstep, claiming they were related.
As it turned out, Gwendolyn was always destined for a champagne life of pampering, but someone had stolen her story right from under her. Howard, simply basking in the pleasure of it all, often boasted, "Only I know how charming my wife really is."
Gwendolyn, nursing her sore back, gritted her teeth in response, "Who was touting his lack of desires before? Clearly, this man knows how to charm!"
