Megan's POV
Realizing how ambiguous their position was, my cheeks suddenly turned red and I pulled away from the man's embrace in panic. Somewhat embarrassed, I explained in a low voice, "No, my legs are numb." "Hmm." Bertrand answered, and then a soft laugh came from his mouth. Don't know whether he believes the excuse I made or not. His voice was soft and low, which had a calming effect. I felt as if my heart had been messed with. I feel so tickled. I rubbed my ears, then asked out of curiosity, "Why are you here?" Bertrand answered still with the same expression, "Just passing by by chance." Seeing the poor little creature drenched in rain on the side of the road, Bertrand felt that I was like a cat abandoned by its owner, helpless and suffering. I nodded in understanding, not knowing what else to say after that. I just found out about my fiancé's betrayal and am physically and mentally exhausted. I just wanted to find a place to calm down. Bertrand looked at me, then asked, "Want revenge?" "What?” I looked at him in confusion, not understanding the meaning of the man's words. Bertrand seemed to read the doubt in my eyes, so asked patiently, "Joe betrayed you, are you going to just let it go?" My facial expression suddenly changed and the expression became alert. "How do you know about this?" If Bertrand knows, do the other members of the Hardwin Family know too? If that were the case, all the harsh words I said in front of Joe and Ariana would be a joke. Bertrand answered, "Didn't you leaving the hotel and ending up in a state like this explain everything?" I was silent, then I realized. Realizing that I had misunderstood Bertrand, I immediately apologized, "Thank you, Uncle. But I will solve it myself." How could I just accept Betrand's help like that? Apart from that, Bertrand is also part of the Hardwin Family. However, I want nothing more to do with Joe and his family. Bertrand smiled faintly and answered without haste, "I'm helping you with a condition. How about you listen first." "What conditions?" "I need a wife." He answered briefly. I almost thought he was hallucinating. It took him a long time to answer Betrand's words. "Uncle, you're not kidding, right?" A Bertrand need a wife? If he wanted, there would be many women willing to be his wife. Don't tell me Bertrand just wants to tease me. Bertrand replied, "Do I look like I'm joking?" I shook my head. Previously, I had heard many rumors about Bertrand before. His character is firm, not easy to approach, and not close to women. With Betrand's status and position, he didn't need to waste time joking with him here. "Then why are you...." "My mother keeps urging me to get married. I also need someone to be my shield. If you agree, I can help you break off your engagement to Joe." I was shocked, tilted my head in disbelief, and looked at him. Bertrand held an umbrella in his hand to protect my body from the rain. The faint light from the sidewalk radiated. The man's face was half exposed to light and half hidden in darkness, adding a touch of mystery to his figure. A wonderful man like this is really much better than that bastard Joe! However, my sanity is still intact. So, I asked suspiciously, "Why me?" With Betrand's strength, power, and handsome face, he only needs to snap his fingers if he wants a woman. Why did this man choose me? I don't believe in luck that comes magically. Even if there was, that luck would never happen to him. Bertrand explained, "Because I need someone who is aware of his status and can achieve the same benefits as me. You fit my criteria." "But ...." While I was hesitating, Bertrand suddenly bowed. A low and seductive voice sounded in my ears. "Don't you want Joe to call you ‘Auntie’? Besides, by marrying me, Ariana won't be able to be part of the Hardwin Family for the rest of her life." My eyes immediately lit up and my heart slowly began to be persuaded. If I marry Bertrand, Joe will call me Auntie. A picture like that makes me happy just thinking about it! I stole a glance at Bertrand, and a trace of regret appeared in the bottom of my eyes. Rumor has it that Bertrand is thirty years old and doesn't even have a single woman by his side. This happened either because Bertrand liked men or had a hidden illness. Now, it seems the rumors are true. No wonder he looked for me to hold this kind of wedding. After a moment of contemplation, I asked in a choked voice, "Uncle, Grandma Marsha definitely won't agree." Before officially breaking off the engagement, I was still Joe's fiancee. If I marry Bertrand, maybe there will be inappropriate gossip spreading out there. Compared to my worries, Bertrand acted very calm and didn't even frown. "Don't worry! I will take care of this matter." Hearing Betrand's promise, my worries completely disappeared. Then, I answered firmly, "Okay, let's do it!" "Then let's go." The corners of Betrand's lips lifted upwards into a faint smile. He lowered his head to hide the gloomy twinkle surging under his eyes, then opened the rear car door. He put his hand on the car, making sure that I wouldn't hit my head. His actions were very polite and considerate as if he was treating a beloved lover. I was shocked by my own thoughts, making my cheeks slightly red. Then, he rushed into the car. It was hot inside the car, but I felt shuddering. I hugged my arms and leaned back in the chair, eager to curl up my body. Then, suddenly a towel was handed to me, accompanied by Betrand's voice, "Use it. Don't get sick." I thanked him and immediately took it to wipe my wet hair. The atmosphere in the car felt very quiet and strange, only the sound of my hair rubbing against the towel could be heard. Feeling uncomfortable, I cleared my throat and asked calmly, "Shall we go register our marriage right now?" Bertrand turned his head and looked at him with a meaningful expression. "Not a bad idea. But do you want to go there looking like now?" I followed Betrand's gaze, only to realize that he was currently soaking wet and messy. My cheeks turned red, I felt like looking for a gap to hide my cum. I almost forgot that I was drenched in the rain. The white shirt I was wearing stuck to my skin because of the rain, even the color of my underwear was clearly visible. With an appearance like this, it was really not suitable for them to go to register their marriage. Moreover, my tone of voice just now showed impatience, as if I was in a hurry to marry Bertrand. Could it be that the man misunderstood? I looked at him carefully. When I saw Betrand's flat face, I could finally breathe a sigh of relief. The assistant driving the car, Evan, glanced through the rearview mirror at the back seat and took a deep breath. His superior's attitude was very abnormal and immediately overturned Evan's current assessment of him. In fact, they had been waiting outside the hotel all afternoon. Initially, he followed Bertrand to discuss cooperation. But in the end, before they even got out of the car, they met Joe and my half-sister, Ariana, entering the hotel together. Bertrand immediately ordered him to send a message anonymously to me and asked me to go to the hotel to catch the two of them. Initially, he didn't quite understand why his master wanted to catch his own nephew red-handed. At that moment, he finally understood that his nephew was not much more important than his wife! No wonder this master always looked at me with a strange look before. Now that I think about it, it all makes sense. This master apparently likes me. No... you could say that his liking for him is quite deep.Megan's POV When Evan was lost in his own imagination, he suddenly felt a cold, piercing cold on the back of his neck. He looked back and happened to meet Betrand's beast-like gaze. He grimaced and didn't dare think anymore, gathering his thoughts to concentrate on driving. Luckily, Bertrand just looked at him with a cold gaze and warned him to drive properly. After that, the man immediately averted his gaze. After getting out of the car, Bertrand took me to the villa where he lived. He took out a clean set of clothes from the wardrobe and handed them to me. "Just take a warm shower first. There are no women's clothes here, so wear my clothes first." "Yes." My cheeks heat up a little. I immediately grabbed the clothes frantically and went into the bathroom. It could be said that my actions were more like running away. I didn't dare look at Betrand's face. That's why I didn't notice the amused glint in the bottom of Betrand's eyes. I stayed in the bathroom for a long time, l
Megan's POV In an instant, I skimmed the marriage agreement and fell silent for a moment. Betrand's heart tightened for no apparent reason when he saw that I didn't speak. So, he asked, "Is there a problem?" I shook my head in disbelief. "Uncle, are you sure you want to sign this agreement with me?" There is nothing wrong with the agreement. In fact, every content in it can almost be said to benefit me. By marrying Betrand, I will not only have the status and position of Mrs. Hardwin but will also get three percent of the shares of the Hardwin Company, as well as real estate in Betrand's personal name. I will also get half of Betrand's personal assets if they divorce. The Hardwin Company is the largest multinational conglomerate in Hauskin City which operates in the fields of finance, real estate, catering, hotels, and various other industries. The stock market value continues to increase. With a third-class family like the Vandana Family, if all their assets were com
Megan's POV I opened my eyes slowly and I was surprised because there was a man in front of me. “Ah…” The man immediately opened his eyes. “Why are you screaming? This really disturbs my sleep!" I tried to remember what happened last night. Oh my god, yesterday I was betrayed by Joe and I immediately married his uncle, Bertrand. I was very surprised and couldn't believe that I was now married to Bertrand. I realized that our ages were not too far apart, namely around five years. But his face did look cold and arrogant. What happened to me last night? Why can I sleep in someone else's room? Oh my god, I'm so stupid. I checked my clothes which were still covered with a blanket and everything was still intact. I thought nothing happened to me last night. I breathed a sigh of relief. I glanced at Bertrand who was also sleeping again with the soft snoring that I heard. Should I get up? Hmm, I think so. I feel uncomfortable sleeping with strangers. But he has now become my husband
Megan's POV Bertrand told me directly that I was his wife. Honestly, I still feel very nervous. Moreover, there were several people there. A middle-aged woman was wearing fashionable clothes. I also saw that apart from Joe, there was also Ariana and other family members. "I'm sure you're joking. How could that happen, uncle?” Joe couldn't believe it. Bertrand invited me to sit in one of the empty chairs. And sure enough, their gazes were still focused on the two of us. Bertrand threw the file on the table and Joe immediately grabbed the file. He opened it quickly and he could read clearly what the contents of the file were. He immediately turned towards us. “This is impossible.” “Why isn't it possible? What if you just betrayed Megan, Joe? From now on, call Megan auntie because she is already my wife." My heart was beating faster than before. Bertrand said this yesterday and now he actually said it in front of his extended family. Ariana was also seen still gawking. She
Megan's POV I was surprised because Bertrand was suddenly here and slapped Ariana. "Dare you touch my wife, I will not remain silent." Ariana grimaced in pain and she slowly left the two of us. Because I was curious I asked, "You said you would be gone for two days, why are you here?" "I'm going to go, but when I see you weak like this, I think you have to learn to be stronger, Megan! Don't want to be seen as weak and you will be stepped on even more!" I just realized that I gave in too much. Since childhood, I have always been distinguished by my biological father. He loves Ariana more than me so I also give in more. "Forgive me!" I can only look down. So the man in front of me is worried about me. Is this a very happy moment? I don't know what's clear is that I haven't had time to shop but my mood for shopping has disappeared. "What do you want to shop for?" Bertrand made me realize. "It doesn't matter, we'd better just go home." “That shows that you are so wea
Megan's POV “Wh-what are you going to do?” I felt afraid because I was in his confines. "You kissed me without permission, right? Okay, I also did that to you without permission." He immediately kissed my lips and just stopped and couldn't do anything. My hands were locked by him very strongly. His tongue tried to enter my mouth and I still locked my lips because I was afraid. But the movement of his tongue got stronger so I gave in and opened my lips. He seemed to be looking for something in my mouth. Why do I feel comfortable with this and also excited? I moved my lips and felt the softness of his lips and also his thin mustache. “Ahh…” Betrand's kisses became more and more violent, making me unable to stand it and I just gave in. His kisses went down my neck and I was increasingly unable to sigh. His treatment was quite gentle towards me. Not like Joe who is very rude because he has too much lust for me. Bertrand facilities can treat me gently. Suddenly Betrand's movements
Megan's POV “Why should you worry? You have a husband, right?” Netrand's answer did not immediately make me feel relieved. Because if I remember again, I was in my fertile period and I could have gotten pregnant straight away even though I had just had sex. As a biology graduate, at least I know this. Even though you've only had sex once, if fertilization occurs between sperm and egg cells, pregnancy can still occur. Especially if done during the fertile period, it can increase the risk of pregnancy. “But I just…” Before I had time to finish speaking, Bertrand immediately answered, "Whatever it is, just do it! Our children will be precious in our eyes. I will provide more facilities for you if you become pregnant. My advice is that you have to be a strong woman. Tomorrow I will be going out of town. And I hope you will no longer be a weak woman.” I'm starting to get a little worried. Am I really going to get pregnant? Alright. Besides, I already have a husband, so why
Bertrand's POVI actually married Megan because I've liked her for a long time. I also knew that she was in a relationship with Joe and finally, my mother gave her blessing for them to get engaged. I didn't stay silent and I continued to find out about Megan and her family. And it's true that she has lived a miserable life since childhood. She lives with her biological father and her stepmother. Not to mention that her parents have a daughter. Megan also had to work hard because she was treated like she was not a sister by her parents. Moreover, Her half-sister also doesn't seem to like Megan. She also felt happy seeing Megan being oppressed by her parents. And since Ariana was in college and living at Megan's house, she also liked Joe, who at that time was engaged to Megan. I feel sorry for Megan and she also can't stand up to her parents and she also can't stand Ariana. I feel annoyed because she is too nice to people. At that time I told my driver to follow Joe and
