After Rex signed, Raven clung to him with an arrogant posture.
“Rexy baby, I’ll make tons of money to support you from now on.”
Rex embraced her affectionately, “That’s my girl. Big brother has always taken good care of you for a reason.”
I watched that disgusting couple turn away, wrapped intimately around each other, and inwardly laughed coldly.
The moment I closed the door, I heard someone chuckle softly in the hallway.
“Tch, these two animals are really something else with their cockiness.”
Nash’s tone was lazy and irreverent,
He pushed the door open from outside. Instantly, over a dozen suited bodyguards stood in perfect formation along both sides of the corridor, their faces cold and lethal.
With just one look from Nash, they cleared every single person from the hallway.
Nash stepped in, closed the door, and without saying a word, pulled me straight into his arms.
I didn’t resist, burying my face in the crook of his neck.
“We can move forward now,” I said quietly.
He kissed my forehead, his lips curving into a smile, his voice deep and raspy with casual affection.
“Alright, I’m going to help my woman get her revenge.”
My nose stung with emotion, my heart deeply moved.
Turning to sit on the sofa, my fingers brushed over a ring on the coffee table.
Nash had left it last night.
My fingertip touched the cold metal, and I flicked it gently into my palm.
It was one of the matching engagement rings we once had.
Years ago in Vegas, we were preparing to get engaged. He had specially flown to Europe to have them custom–made–million dollar matching rings, one for each of us, with our initials engraved inside the band.
But during our last meeting, I threw my ring into the fountain in front of his casino right in front of him.

The “splash” sound was like our hastily evaporating love.
We didn’t break up back then because we stopped loving each other.
It was because Nash had been attacked, slashed with a knife, and left in a coma for five days.
I was locked in his family’s mansion by the Nash family elders for three days and nights–not allowed to eat or sleep, forced to break up with him.
They said I wasn’t worthy, that I was just an ordinary person without even proper Vegas residency, undeserving of the Nash family’s primary heir.
They also threatened that if I didn’t break up with him, they would go after my parents in Chicago.
I was barely in my twenties then. How could I withstand such threats?
I signed the breakup agreement on my knees, and the day Nash woke up, I threw that ring into the water.
Nash looked completely stunned. I suppressed my heartbreak and forced myself to speak cruelly.
ve this terrifying life anymore.”
ry will only be someone gentle and caring.”
ying that, I walked away without looking back, leaving him standing alone by the fountain, choking on my me as he called out.
But at that moment, I was just as devastated turning my back on him.
Six months later, when he came to Chicago to find me, I had already married Rex, a university professor, in a wedding arranged by my parents.
Life is truly ironic.
I thought I had escaped into the cage of a peaceful life, but that cage turned out to be a trap carefully crafted by Rex.
Now, I was back in Vegas.
Only my identity was different, my position was different, and my mindset was different too.
At four in the afternoon, Nash brought me to the control room on the second floor of the casino, On the wall, dozens
of monitors simultaneously showed Rex and Raven’s exciting gambling session.
The two were gambling with wild, greedy expressions, tossing chips as if money meant nothing.
Standing in front of the screens, I laughed coldly.
“Do they think they’re about to turn their lives around?”

Nine Years Wasted–Now in Marrying Your Pival

Nash leaned in close, whispering in my ear: “If you want, I can make them lose everything, anytime. They can lose as much as you want them to.”
I stared at the screen, my eyes completely devoid of warmth.
“That would be boring. Isn’t the most devastating moment when you’re about to reach the peak of your life and suddenly plummet to rock bottom?”
I wanted to see their breakdown and despair after they sent themselves to hell with their own hands!
