The Ex and Her Riches

The wait for the day of the wedding was an extreme torment for Gwendolyn.

She spent the last two days in a daze.

The night before the wedding, Charles had someone deliver the wedding dress to her place.

She found it ironic as she stroked the expensive wedding dress in front of her.

Although this would be her first wedding ceremony, it was actually her second time wearing a wedding dress.

She had thought she wouldn’t have any chance to put it on again. Little did she expect that she would wear it and get married to someone whom she didn’t love.

Charles stood at the door of her room and stared at her in silence. “Gwen, do you like it? The most famous designer in Erihal used a week to design it. This is the only piece in the world.”

Gwendolyn withdrew her hand and sat on the edge of the bed with an indifferent expression on her face. “What’s the matter?”

“I kept my word. I’ve been looking after Nico these days. He’s almost recovered now. You don’t have to worry about him.”

Gwendolyn let out a sigh of relief and said nothing more.

“I’ll release Nico from jail once we have officially held our wedding ceremony. When we enjoy our pleasant moment at night, I’ll get someone to give him the antidote and send him back to Chanaea.”

“Okay.” Expressionlessly, she covered herself with the blanket. “You can go back to Alzer Palace. I’m sleepy now. I want to call it a night.”

“All right. I won’t disturb your rest, then. Goodnight, Gwen.”

Gwendolyn ignored him. Charles closed her bedroom door and left.

As soon as he left, Gwendolyn sat up at once. She fixed her eyes on the small plane Asher had given her on the dressing table.

If Charles really wanted to sleep with her in the same bed after Nico received the antidote tomorrow, she would perish with him.

Everything will be over soon!

At the same time, someone entered the dungeon with a decree of pardon.
