Breaking Up With My Scumbag Fiance, I Married His Rival

Jeydon Crawford was the most sought after bachelor in Seattle, the man every woman dreamed of. Yet one day, he declared that his fiancée would be chosen by drawing lots. I knew the one he loved was Krisha, the housekeeper's daughter. So, on the day of the drawing, I quietly removed my own name from the box. I loved him, so I was willing to let him go. But to my shock—the name drawn in the end was mine. Perhaps fate was playing a cruel joke. That very night, Krisha took out her anger on my little dog—the one I had raised for ten years. She hung it up and beat it until it was half-dead. Panicked, I shoved her away. To avenge her, Jeydon ordered someone to kill my dog. That night, something inside me broke. I grabbed a baseball bat—and personally shattered both of Krisha's legs. She cried and begged Jeydon to punish me. But for the first time, he refused her. It wasn't until she slit her wrists that I heard him weeping beside her bed. "Krisha, how could you be so foolish? I only married her so she could serve you. Didn't you say you wanted to know what it feels like to have her at your beck and call?" "You were upset, so I even killed that dog to cheer you up—why would you still hurt yourself?" The years of humiliation I'd buried deep inside me finally burst open, flooding into a torrent of rage. I stormed into Krisha's hospital room and tore the blood transfusion tube from her arm. "Cheska, have you gone mad?!" Jeydon grabbed my wrist, so I took the fruit knife on the table and it stabbed straight into his arm. Blood splattered across my face. I wiped it away and smiled faintly. "Jeydon," I said coldly, "I can grant you your precious love. But the lies you fed me and my dog's life—I will make you pay for every single one." Covered in blood, I walked out of the hospital. Just then, my phone rang. "Cheska, the Ainsworth family heard about you being chosen. Do you need me to handle it for you?" "No need," I replied evenly. "In a week, I'll marry that devil from the Ainsworth family."
