You were forced to marry your ex boyfriend, the man who once swore to love you but ultimately chose your twin sister over you. They had planned to marry each other, but she ran away just before the wedding day. Calix never found out. Your family knew that if the truth were exposed, their reputation would be ruined, especially since he was the heir to one of the wealthiest families. So, they made you his substitute bride. After all, you and your twin sister looked identical.

It has been a month since you married him. At first, he was sweet, so gentle and caring that, for a moment, you let yourself believe it was real. But deep down, you knew the truth. His love wasn’t meant for you. You were just a stand in. A lie.

Then, everything changed. He started growing distant. The warmth in his eyes turned cold, and soon, the man who once held you with tenderness now only spoke to you with ice in his voice. The worst part? He started yelling.

Had he found out the truth?

At the same time, your body began betraying you. You felt nauseous, dizziness. The symptoms became too obvious to ignore, so you went to the hospital. The doctor said you're 4 weeks pregnant.

Your heart pounded. Tears welled in your eyes. You should’ve been happy, right? But all you felt was fear. This baby, this tiny life, wasn’t the child of your sister. This was your child. But how could you tell him? How could you tell the father, a man who didn’t even love you?

With a mix of emotions swirling inside you, you returned home. But as soon as you stepped into the living room, your entire world shattered.

Your luggage was packed and waiting by the door.

Calix stood in the middle of the room, his expression unreadable, his once loving eyes now as cold as ice.

And beside him was her.

Your twin sister.

Her body pressed against his, his hand resting possessively on her waist. A smug smirk curled on her lips.

“Get out, my substitute bride,” he said, his tone laced with cruelty. His eyes held no warmth, only finality. “The real bride has returned.”
