I Married a Useless Rich Heir After Returning to the Past
Chapter 1
I saved the current queen with my medical expertise and ability to save patients from the clutches of death itself.
To fulfil my long-time wish, the queen intended to order that I was to marry the son of a marquess, Eldwin Gennings.
However, I fell on my knees and begged her to let me marry a notoriously useless rich heir instead.
The queen was shocked. After all, everyone in the Royal Capital knew that I had been in love with Eldwin since we were young. I had even said several times that I would not marry anyone but him.
In my past life, I had indeed married Eldwin, just as I wished, but on the night of our wedding, he left me waiting alone in our bedroom. The next day, he married my half-sister as his second wife.
I was bullied and framed by my half-sister. As a result, Eldwin cut my wrist tendons and damaged my arms permanently.
In the end, my wounds got infected, and I died.
When I opened my eyes again, time had rewound to the day the queen ordered me and Eldwin to be married.
This time, when he found out that I wanted to marry someone else, he went mad and begged me to take him in.
“Once I issue my edict, you will not be able to change your decision. Have you thought this through, Catalina Shaw?”
I kneeled on the floor. “I have. Please give the order, Your Majesty.”
The queen nodded. “My edict will reach the Shaw family’s estate within three days.”
After thanking the queen, I turned around and left the palace.
As soon as I returned to my family’s estate, Eldwin Gennings barged into my room furiously. He glared at me and barked, “You disgust me, Catalina. How could you ask the queen to make me marry you against my will?”
Recalling the moment he cut my wrist tendons in my past life, I said coldly, “I did not ask the queen to get us married.”
My half-sister Rosalie Shaw, who had been standing behind Eldwin, stepped forward. “The news is out that Her Majesty has issued an edict for your marriage. It has spread all across Oberon Kingdom. Why are you trying to hide it from us, Lina?”
She teared up while speaking. “At the end of the day, we are not meant to be, Eld. From now on, you will just be my brother-in-law.”
Eldwin immediately embraced Rosalie and comforted her gently, “Don’t worry, Rosie. You will always be the one I love.”
They disgusted me, so I chased them out immediately.
“If you want to confess your love to each other, please do it outside my room. Don’t be an eyesore.”
Eldwin glared at me. “How dare you speak to me this way, Catalina? Do you assume I can’t do anything about our arranged marriage just because the queen set it up?
“Once I get home, I’ll immediately get ready to ask Rosie for her hand in marriage.”
A glint of surprise flashed in Rosalie’s eyes, and she glanced at me timidly.
“But will my sister allow it, Eld?”
Eldwin raised his brows and looked at me. “If you say no, it means you are prone to jealousy, and I can divorce you for it!”
In my past life, Eldwin had indeed threatened to divorce me, which is why I eventually allowed him to marry Rosalie as his second wife. This time, his threat did not affect me.
I said nonchalantly, “You are not the man I am to marry. You may wed anyone you please. It’s none of my concern.”
Eldwin was startled for a moment. Then, he said with disdain, “Don’t try to play hard to get, Catalina.
“Everyone in the Royal Capital knows that you have been in love with me since we were little. There is no way you picked another man to marry.”
Seeing how certain he was, I did not bother to explain. He would find out the truth when the queen issued her edict in three days.
Rosalie grabbed my hand. “Since everything is set in stone, the two of us shall be his wives from now on.”
I flung off her hand in disgust, and she immediately fell down like a helpless ragdoll.
Eldwin shoved me to the floor right away. “You’ve been praised for being a great physician, but I know you are actually wicked and unkind. When we get married, I will surely teach you a lesson!”
He bowed down to pick Rosalie up in his arms and carried her out of my room.
I raised my hand to wipe the blood off the wound on my forehead and gave a bitter smile.
