After Leaving My Ex: His Despair, My SatisfactionChapter 1

Jane’s POV

When I, Jane Luxton, was delivered to the Payton Family’s elder master as a “fortune-bringing bride,” I never expected to meet the mocking gaze of my ex-boyfriend on the bed.

In the dimly lit bedroom, Simon Payton teased my most sensitive spots, his voice dripping with wicked amusement as the sound of my growing ragged breath entered his ears. “Stepmother,” he murmured against my ear, “Why don’t you stay with me instead? I promise I’m much more satisfying than that old man.”

Later, at the auction house, he bid on luxury goods worth tens of millions of dollars and gifted them to me. He treated me with endless tenderness, clung to me every night and whispered sweet nothings that made my heart flutter. These made me believe in the sweet fantasies of our life at that time.

This fantasy persisted until the day I was forced to withdraw from a major modeling audition at the peak of my career because I was pregnant. At that time, I stumbled across his group chat with his friends and read it.
