Chapter 1

My husband is Bren, the Alpha of the Dubois pack.

He's also the CEO of a Fortune 500 company.

Outsiders always assume I must be incredibly wealthy after marrying Bren.

Whenever I hear that, I can only smile bitterly.

Later, while organizing files in Bren's study, I accidentally discovered a yellowed gift agreement hidden in the bottom drawer.

It was a breakup settlement Bren had given his ex-girlfriend Vivian for free:

30 million in cash, 2% of the company's equity, and ownership of two commercial buildings in the pack's business district.

I've been married to Bren for seven years, but before our wedding, he had me sign a cold, impersonal prenuptial agreement.

I don't have any assets under my name, let alone any involvement in his business.

Even the villa we currently live in has nothing to do with me.

Just as I'm feeling angry, Bren appears in the doorway and scolds me:

"I told you not to go into my study. You broke the rules again."

I hand him the gift agreement he gave his ex-girlfriend and say calmly:

"Bren, let's get divorced. I want to break our mate bond with you."

He frowns and tears the document in my hands to shreds:

"Just because of this agreement?! I can do whatever I want with my own property. Do I need your approval? Besides, this is all in the past."

With that, he doesn't spare me another glance and leaves the study.

And I simply call my lawyer calmly.
