I Married My Husband's Worst Enemy

“Audrey, marry me.”

At a business party, Easton, dressed in a black suit, knelt on one knee with a bouquet of red roses, proposing to me with a serious expression.

The crowd cheered and applauded continuously.

I looked around and spotted Easton's true love, Madelyn, in the crowd.

Madelyn stood there, biting her lip hard, tears welling up in her eyes.

At that moment, I realized I had transmigrated into a book, specifically the melodramatic romance novel I finished reading last night.

Seeing that I hadn't responded for a long time, Easton leaned in and whispered in my ear, “Audrey, considering how long you've pined for me, I'll agree to marry you. But you need to know your place.”

To the onlookers, it seemed like he had kissed my cheek.

The crowd kept urging, “Say yes!”

In the original story, I did agree to marry him.

After our marriage, he ignored my existence and brought Madelyn into our home, forcing me to listen to their intimate moments.

He even got Madelyn pregnant right in front of me.

Madelyn flaunted her superiority and bullied me openly.

Worst of all, he orchestrated the downfall of my father's company because my father had slapped Madelyn to defend me.

After the company went bankrupt, I had no choice but to beg Madelyn for forgiveness and mercy.

Looking at this hypocrite now made me sick.

I slapped him hard across the face.

“Get lost.”

Then, under everyone's shocked gaze, I walked toward a young man exuding an icy aura in the corner.

He was Nicholas, Easton's greatest rival in the original story, who was eventually framed and killed by Easton and Madelyn.

Given this chance, I would never follow the original protagonist's tragic path!

No more being a substitute or enduring twisted love stories. To hell with it!

This time, I would live for myself!

I walked up to Nicholas and hugged him tightly.

“Will you marry me? I'm great at taking care of people!” My eyes sparkled with laughter, forming beautiful crescent moons.

Nicholas was stunned by my audacity. A blush crept up his ears as he stood there frozen.

Looking at Nicholas's reaction, I thought, “Despite his cold and heartless persona, he's clearly inexperienced in love.”

Rumor had it that Nicholas disliked women and never had any around him.

The crowd was dumbfounded. The banquet hall fell silent.

Someone finally spoke up, “Has Audrey gone mad? Wasn't she head over heels for Easton? How dare she slap him?”

Easton's sharp gaze was fixed on me, and his face darkened.

“How dare she? Nicholas is known for being cold and ruthless. Just wait. She'll be thrown out.”

Hearing this made me a bit scared. But what was done was done. There was no turning back now.

Nicholas took a moment to react. It was his first time encountering such a bold woman, who had just rejected his arch-enemy Easton!

Interesting. He decided to play along.

Nicholas's clear voice sounded in my ear. “Alright.”

Nicholas's cooperation surprised me.

Easton's gaze was icy and piercing as if trying to bore holes into me.

I felt both scared and regretful. How could I provoke such a ruthless man?

I acted impulsively without considering the consequences.

Thinking this, I hid behind Nicholas slightly.

For now, Nicholas could still stand up to Easton somewhat.

“Why are you staring at my fiancée? You're scaring her. Stop ogling her, or I'll gouge your eyes out,” Nicholas's lazy yet cold voice rang out again.

Sensing the tension, someone quickly stepped forward to take the edge off and ushered everyone out.
