My Wife Slept with Her Brother-in-Law for Family HonorChapter 1

Only a month after we got married, my wife's sister ran away with her lover. When I opened the door to comfort her, Raline Leighton handed me an agreement.

“Henry, my brother-in-law’s fortune can’t be left without an heir. I’ve decided to take my sister’s place and give him a child.”

Like a sudden shock, I ripped the papers and shouted, “Raline, this is the modern world! Are there really people who rent out their wives to have kids? What do you think I am?”

Raline stared at me, stubborn as ever.

“Henry, it’s just three years. I’ll come back in three years and I’ll still be your wife.”

"If my mother had only given birth to me back then, her only daughter, I would’ve been the one to marry Hudson Pellegrini. What would you have done then, being just a live-in son-in-law?"

My heart ached as I looked at Raline, once so familiar, now with a face gone cold and self-righteous.

“I’m willing to let you try IVF and surrogacy, that’s my biggest compromise.” Raline stood up quietly and took out another contract.

“The heir of the Pellegrini Family shouldn’t come from something cold and mechanical; they should be born from real passion.”
