BOOKSDRAMA Between Ruin And Resolve: My Ex-Husband’s Regret
But Daren's grip tightened on her arm, his voice urgent and low.
"Ophelia," he said, eyes hardening with resolve. "Don't be stubborn. This isn't about your feelings. It's about our family's legacy. If you go through with this union, our status in Beversea will rise higher than ever. And you'll still be Jarrett's rightful wife."
He leaned in, his voice coaxing and persuasive. "Just imagine it. With the power of both families combined, you'll become the crown jewel of Beversea's elite. Men will compete for just a glance from you."
Ophelia's chest tightened.
Unbidden, an image of Nathan's easy, carefree smile drifted through her mind.

Chapter 916:
Ophelia's personal grievances paled in comparison to such immense leverage. Daren's frown gave way to a broad smile.
"Rodger, that's more than generous. If this is your decision, you have our full trust and support." He didn't spare his sister so much as a glance.
Ophelia stared at him in disbelief, her world tipping off its axis.
Her brother had agreed-just like that?
Was she really expected to marry a disabled man and raise another woman's child, all in exchange for a business deal?
What did that make her? Nothing more than a pawn, sacrificed for the family's ambitions.
She shot to her feet, emotion threatening to spill over.
"I can't-"
But Daren's grip tightened on her arm, his voice urgent and low.
