My excalled me poor, so I married the richest man instead

Ruby, an orphan, spent four years as Victor’s secret lover—only to watch him get engaged to heiress Ivy and call her “a colleague” in public. Heartbroken, she agrees to a $5 million contract marriage with Ethan, a Wall Street financial titan. He is unexpectedly gentle—remembers her birthday, her love of apple pie, and quietly protects her from every scheme Ivy and a regretful Victor throw at her. Ruby can’t understand why a man like him chose a penniless orphan—until she learns the truth: six years ago in Appalachia, she saved his life, and he has been searching for her ever since. But behind their marriage of convenience lies a secret even he hasn’t confessed—and the first person to uncover it is already at the door.
