Possibly, I Won't Fall in Love with You

Smelling the scent of another woman's perfume on him, I endured it.

Hearing countless rumors about him, I endured it.

Until one day, another woman brought a child who looked just like him. I knew it was time to step aside.

After all, I was just his dispensable trophy wife.

...

I had a premonition that my marriage to Ryker Leonard might be coming to an end.

At 2 AM, my phone vibrated, and I woke up.

His tone when he answered the call was a tenderness I had never seen.

"The child has a fever? I'll come right away."

Hearing the word "child", my drowsiness instantly vanished.

As he spoke, he put on his clothes.

I sat up and turned on the bedside lamp.

"Where are you going?"

He replied indifferently, "Mind your own business and don't ask too many questions."

I couldn't fall back asleep and stood by the window, watching him rush away in his car.

How many times had this happened?

I had lost count.

Watching his retreating figure, I sighed silently.

The Leonard family, the largest business family in Florford, had a massive real estate conglomerate with countless properties. They were the richest in the city. And my husband, Ryker, the third son of the Leonard family and the chosen heir, was also the most beloved child of the family.

Not to mention, he was exceptionally handsome, charming, and had the charisma to outshine even the hottest male celebrities.

A godly figure who casually strolled through the mortal world, stealing countless women's hearts.

Being with a man destined to be so fickle, one had to be prepared to endure the presence of many admirers by his side.

And how did I manage to carve a path for myself among these many women and become Mrs. Leonard?

It's quite ridiculous.

My family used to run a factory, responsible for supplying materials to construction companies. We had a deep collaboration with the Leonard family's real estate business. Even with just the surplus materials, we had projects worth trillions in cooperation.

Boarding the Leonard family's ship, the business should have flourished. However, my father, introduced to the stock market by an acquaintance, lost everything in a short time. He even almost had to mortgage the factory.

At that time, I was just a junior employee in the construction company, and despite reaching the position of sales manager through my efforts, my meager salary couldn't cover our family's expenses, let alone my father's astronomical debts.

To spare my family from living in constant fear and dread of debt collectors, I made the decision to give up on certain things called "dignity". I "accidentally" stumbled into Ryker, attracting his attention.

Soon, I became Ryker's mistress, and due to my competent work, I swiftly climbed to the position of manager in the Leonard family's company.

His only demand was always one thing – obedience.

I knew myself well. Compared to the other women who had been around him, I never crossed the line. As time passed, his circle dwindled, and I gradually became the only woman by his side.

People at the company would say he had turned over a new leaf, calmed down, and even praised me as the lady of the house. I would smile it off, but deep inside, there was a glimmer of hope.

There's a saying that the path to a woman's soul goes through her vagina.

Losing one's virginity, the heart may gradually become lost as well.

He was my first man, and occasionally, in good spirits, he was willing to play along and dote on me.

After experiencing his gentle affection, I couldn't help but gradually become entranced.

Though I repeatedly told myself to remain resolute, a certain corner of my heart inevitably began to develop some feelings.

Until that day, when I returned from a business trip, exhausted and opened the door, just in time to see him sitting on the genuine leather sofa in the living room. I was about to give him a warm embrace.

However, when he turned his face towards me, it was as cold as winter, his eyes shadowed, "Abort the child."
