The female crime boss wanted to claim my twin brother.
But after he was knocked out and forced into her wedding car, it was me who took his place.
My twin brother and I were both eyed by Sera Thorne, the ruthless crime boss of our city.
Our parents were too terrified to refuse, forced to agree to this marriage.
On their wedding day,
I was the one who knocked my brother out and put him into Sera Thorne’s wedding car.
Three days later,
The crime boss died in an assassination attempt.
And I unexpectedly inherited her billions.
When my brother found out,
He secretly poisoned my food.
Then, he tightly wrapped a rope around my neck.
“Jax, I’m sorry.”
“These billions were always meant to be mine.”
“I’m just taking back what’s mine.”
After a desperate struggle,
My brother strangled me to death!
I drew my last breath, filled with despair and resentment.
When I opened my eyes again,
I was back two days before my brother and the crime boss’s wedding.
Looking at my brother’s terrified, desperate face,
I suddenly spoke:
“I can marry Sera Thorne instead of my brother!”
“Dad, I don’t want to marry Sera Thorne.”
“She’s a crime boss, Dad.”
“I heard that any man who’s been involved with her…”
“They usually end up dead.”
“And the lucky few who survive are barely alive.”
“If I marry her, I’m a goner for sure.”
“I don’t want to die, Dad.”
My brother, Leo, looked at Dad with eyes full of terror and a desperate longing to live.
It was clear he was absolutely against marrying Sera Thorne.
Dad wiped away a tear that slid down his cheek.
“Son, it’s my fault for being useless, for not being able to protect you.”
Mom’s face was equally etched with despair.
“Son, Sera Thorne made it clear.”
“Either you marry her willingly,”
“Or else…”
“Our whole family dies!”
“Her influence is too vast, our family… we can’t afford to cross her.”
Leo suddenly stood up, his face set in a grim determination.
“Mom, Dad, there’s no way I’m marrying that vicious crime boss.”
“I’m taking Chloe and we’re getting out of here!”
Our parents were stunned.
Dad steeled himself.
“Alright, you take Chloe and go. Your Mom and I have some savings, put as much distance as possible between yourselves and here.”
“I don’t believe Sera Thorne’s influence can stretch across the entire country.”
“If things get really bad, you can hide abroad for a few years.”
Leo hesitated for a moment, then asked,
“If I leave, what about you guys?”
“Don’t worry about us. At worst, your Mom and I will get dumped in the river to feed the fish by that woman.”
“Even if she’s brutal, she won’t go *that* far.”
After a moment’s hesitation, Leo,
Hugged Mom and Dad.
Then, he knelt before them, bowing his head deeply in a silent plea for forgiveness.
“Mom, Dad, I’ve been a terrible son.”
“If you both stay safe,”
“I promise I’ll give you a good life someday!”
Hearing that,
I scoffed inwardly.
The moment he decided to abandon his parents and family to run off with his girlfriend,
It just showed how utterly ruthless he was!
No wonder he didn’t hesitate to strangle me in my past life!
Just as Leo was about to pack his bags and leave,
I suddenly spoke:
“I can marry Sera Thorne instead of my brother!”
“Huh?”
“Jax, are you serious?”
My family stared at me, dumbfounded.
I nodded firmly.
“Leo and I are twins, after all.”
“Aside from slight differences in height and personality,”
“We’re pretty much identical.”
“That crime boss hasn’t spent much time with Leo.”
“If I take his place, she won’t be able to tell the difference.”
After hearing my explanation,
Leo suddenly walked over, his face flushed with excitement, and grabbed my hand.
“Jax, I’m asking you again.”
“Are you really willing to marry Sera Thorne in my place?”
Seeing the barely concealed excitement in my brother’s eyes,
I nodded seriously again.
“Brother, Sera Thorne’s influence is too great.”
“If we upset her,”
“Mom and Dad will be in danger.”
“Besides, I don’t have a girlfriend, and she’s beautiful.”
“It’s a perfect fit for me to marry her.”
Seeing how serious I was, Leo,
Whirled around to face our parents.
“Mom, Dad, Jax’s suggestion…”
“Do you think it’s possible?”
Mom and Dad exchanged glances.
Both their eyes were filled with deep worry.
After all, Sera Thorne had set her sights on my brother,
Not me.
If Sera Thorne discovered I was a stand-in,
Who knew how dire the consequences would be?
But the problem before them was also clear.
My brother refused to marry her, ready to die rather than comply.
He was even packing his bags to run away.
The outcomes were almost the same.
From that perspective,
My suggestion seemed more reliable.
“Jax, your Mom and I won’t force you.”
“This isn’t something to joke about; you have to be willing.”
Dad looked at me with a stern expression.
“Dad, don’t worry.”
“I’m absolutely willing.”
Leo suddenly hugged me tightly.
“Jax, thank you.”
“You’re my savior!”
Mom and Dad hesitated for a moment, but eventually agreed.
I suggested Leo take Chloe and leave quickly.
Then, I told Mom and Dad to announce to everyone
That Jax had died in a car accident.
Mom and Dad looked at me, perplexed.
I explained,
“Sera Thorne is very capable. If we don’t do this, my identity will eventually be exposed.”
“Only by making Jax disappear completely from this world,”
“Will she not suspect I’m marrying her in my brother’s place.”
Mom, Dad, and Leo all agreed after hearing my plan.
Mom and Dad busied themselves announcing my death.
Leo busied himself contacting Chloe.
The two of them, taking the only savings Mom and Dad had,
Left the city by car that very night.
Three days later,
I put on the suit Sera Thorne had sent, and happily got into the crime boss’s wedding car.
