A wealthy guy tied the knot with a curvy woman “on a dare.” But during their wedding night, SHE pulled off something that left every guest totally floored

She greeted him warmly, without the coldness of their first encounter, but still carried herself with that same unshakeable confidence. I thought you preferred five-star restaurants, Chloe teased as Lucas sat down. Sometimes it’s good to break the routine, Lucas replied, trying to sound casual, though he felt slightly out of his element.

They chatted for a while, exchanging surface-level details, but Chloe quickly got to the point. If we’re really going through with this, I want to make a few things clear, Chloe said, placing her cup of tea on the table. I’m not interested in your money or your luxury lifestyle.

Six months is six months, and I plan on walking away from this exactly the same as I entered. Lucas watched her carefully, he knew she was being honest. Chloe was the type of woman who knew what she wanted, and clearly, marriage wasn’t something she saw as a way to climb the social ladder, like many others might.

So, what do you want, Chloe? Lucas asked, genuinely curious. Freedom? She answered without hesitation. I want you to know that even though we’re entering into this agreement, I won’t be controlled by you.

I have my own life, and that’s not going to change because of a temporary marriage. Lucas smiled. It wasn’t the answer he expected, but at the same time, he didn’t mind granting Chloe this freedom.

To him, marriage was just a formality to win the bet. If she wanted to keep her independence, it wouldn’t bother him. Fine, Lucas agreed.

Six months. After that, we go our separate ways. Chloe watched him for a moment, as if wanting to be sure he really agreed to the terms.

She had accepted this challenge with a plan in mind, and was determined to ensure everything went according to her wishes. Deep down, she knew Lucas might try to manipulate the situation, but she also trusted her own strength to resist his influence. The meeting ended on friendly terms, with both leaving with their roles clearly defined.

Chloe would keep her independence, and Lucas would ensure that the marriage was nothing more than a formality. But as the days passed and the wedding date approached, Lucas couldn’t help but feel that maybe this game wasn’t as simple as he had imagined. The wedding took place in a cold, unceremonious manner, like a carefully orchestrated business contract.

Lucas Marshall, with his strategic mindset, already saw himself as the winner of the bet. He was certain that the six months would fly by, and that Chloe, no matter how stubborn, would eventually give in to the luxurious lifestyle he was about to offer her. Right after the ceremony, Lucas took Chloe to his massive penthouse in the heart of New York, a monument to his wealth.

The huge glass windows reflected the city lights, and the interior was filled with the most expensive and exclusive decor. To him, this was the real battleground, where he would win Chloe over through the power of his material world. But from the very first moment, Chloe made it clear she wasn’t going to back down.

As soon as she stepped into the penthouse, she maintained a distant demeanor. The look she gave Lucas wasn’t one of admiration, but of defiance. Six months, Lucas? Not a day more, she said firmly, walking over to one of the large windows, looking at the city without being impressed by the luxury around her.

Lucas smiled, confident. He was used to this kind of resistance in the beginning. Every woman that had been in his life eventually bent to his charm and wealth.

Chloe wouldn’t be any different, or so he thought. In the first few days after the wedding, Lucas tried everything to impress her. He showered her with expensive jewelry, designer clothes, and luxurious trips, all with the expectation that Chloe would start to adapt to the lifestyle he dictated.

But to his frustration, she refused it all. Chloe insisted on sticking to her simple, modest routine, never giving in to the trappings of wealth. I don’t need these things, Lucas, she would say with a calmness that only made him irritated.

It deeply bothered him. Lucas, who always got everything he wanted, was seeing his authority challenged for the first time. It wasn’t just about the bet anymore…
