Determined to make the wedding spectacular, Olivia nearly drained the cards Lucas had given her.

The venue had to be the most luxurious hotel, flowers the freshest flown in, catering the most exclusive, photography team the most professional…

She ignored all gossip, as if determined to use a grand wedding to proclaim to the world that she was not such a failure.

But she didn’t notice that the Wright family members looked at her with contempt.

Lucas only felt pain. ‘So this is what it feels like to be forced to marry someone I don’t love. Back then, when I and the Clark family forced Natasha to get engaged to me, did she feel this disgusted too?‘

He drowned himself in alcohol daily, hurling away any wedding plans Olivia brought for discussion.

Emmanuel had all but given up on Lucas. Watching Olivia’s antics, he found it both annoying and embarrassing.

He just wanted the wedding over, to fulfill this final paternal duty, give them some money, and sever ties.

He had plenty of sons.

Margot, on the other hand, was resigned to the situation.

She disapproved of Olivia as a daughter–in–law, but Lucas wouldn’t explain what happened when she asked. He also ignored her suggestion that they divorce quietly before too many people found out.

Margot fumed for a while, and then finally gave up.

‘Fine, everyone knows what Olivia is after anyway. Even if I encourage him to pull himself together, it will only benefit Olivia in the end. It’s better to wait for her to lose patience and give up first, Margot thought.

The only one who enthusiastically offered wedding advice was Wyatt.

He enjoyed watching this mismatched couple. He was eagerly anticipating them being bound together forever in public.

He, the illegitimate son, had always lurked in the shadows, coveting his perfect older brother’s charmed life. Now the tables were turned, and he was loving every minute of it.

Time passed in this peculiar atmosphere, and soon it was Olivia and Lucas‘ wedding day.

Their wedding invitations didn’t reach Alexei, and Olivia didn’t dare let Natasha attend.

If Natasha had actually gone, given Lucas’s idiocy, he might even call off the wedding on the spot. She absolutely wouldn’t allow it.

Of course, Natasha couldn’t be bothered to go.

But she also wanted to watch the drama, so Alexei bribed the wedding photography team to switch from filming a commemorative video to a full live broadcast of the entire event.

In the villa’s living room, Alexei neatly arranged Natasha’s favorite fruits, snacks, yogurt, and grapefruit juice on the coffee table. The TV displayed today’s wedding

ceremony.

He sat closely beside Natasha on the sofa. A moment later, still feeling unsatisfied, he reached out and pulled Natasha, who was petting the dog, into his arms. He adjusted his position, only then satisfied, holding her comfortably as they settled in.

Natasha nestled against his chest, watching the guests moving about on the screen. She ate a grape, then bored, she looked up and kissed Alexei.

Alexei smiled and squeezed her hand, returning the kiss passionately.

It hasn’t started yet anyway, so they might as well pass the time in a more

In the dressing room, Olivia dismissed the staff. She then resentfully snatched the wine bottle from Lucas‘ hand, smashing it against the wall. “Lucas! Do you know what day today is?”

It wasn’t even time for toasts, and he was already drunk. What kind of impression did that make?

Lucas looked at her coldly and smiled. “You wanted to get married, and I complied, didn’t I? What more do you want?”

Olivia was nearly driven mad by his attitude. She wanted to slap him, but worried about visible marks later.

She said, “Yes! Since you agreed, play the part of the groom properly! If you’re so unwilling, you should have had the guts to refuse me from the start!”

Lucas self–mockingly smiled and continued to look for alcohol.

Olivia watched coldly as he gripped the doorknob.

“Lucas,” she said, suddenly calm. “I don’t mind turning today’s wedding short film into your sex video.”

Lucas stopped.

Olivia scoffed. ‘He is ready to be a scoundrel, yet he can’t let go of his pride or shame. So typical of Lucas.

He said, “Aren’t you afraid people will know the other star is you?”

Olivia calmly sat down in the chair. “I only clipped your ‘highlights.‘ Besides, so what if they know? My leg is ruined, my dreams are gone, I’ve done time. I’m not afraid to sink to the very bottom of the filth. Are you? Lucas, if you want to get through today peacefully, I want to see a happy groom.”

Lucas stood silently for a long time, then slammed the door and left.

But Olivia knew he had compromised.

Looking at herself in the mirror, adorned in a wedding dress and exquisite bridal makeup, she was about to marry the man she had dreamed of throughout her youth. Though she wasn’t happy, she forced herself to smile.

“Olivia, you are still the ultimate victor,” she told herself.

Even though Olivia wanted everything perfect, she had no family or friends to stand with her, and Lucas was no help, so they skipped the whole traditional groom’s procession.

Even with all her invites, way fewer people showed up than she’d hoped.
