My Mate Chose My Best Friend, So His Uncle Claimed MeUpdated at Dec 1, 2025, 12:20
"Y-You want me... in exchange for helping me for vengeance?" I parroted, confirming what I just heard.
"Marriage."
"Huh? What?" My lips parted, couldn't believe what he said. "Marriage...? You can't be serious."
Damn it! This man wasn't taking me seriously! If I only knew—
"Think about it." His eyes gleamed with amusement, but there was a hint of sobriety. "You'll have my name, my protection, my power. In return..." he paused, his knuckles brushed along my jaw before tilting my chin up, which made my body shiver. "...I'll have your body, your soul, and your vow that you'll belong to no one but me."
I swallowed hard. A warning bell was ringing in my head, telling me to pull away and slap him from the closeness of our faces. His intoxicating scent was making me feel delirious, and there was no way that I could give in to his enticing touch.
His irresistible offer...
There was no way that I would sell myself to him just because of the vengeance. Was there any other way to exact my revenge? Or was he the only option?
