Rio

There was a girl named Catherine who suffered cruel and abusive treatment at the hands of her stepmother and stepsister. They incited her father to beat her constantly from the age of five. When Catherine turned eight, her stepmother persuaded him to abandon her and place her in an orphanage, claiming they were not obligated to care for her since her biological mother had deserted her and run away with her lover. Life in the orphanage was much harsher, and it seemed to have made her a fearful, silent, and withdrawn girl due to the lack of affection and attention. One day, a family, the wealthiest in Britain, came to adopt a child and chose Catherine. She went to live with them and silently obeyed their requests without complaint. She was kind despite all she had endured. When she grew up, she married their first grandson, Rio. He was a stern and cold general, devoid of tenderness or love despite living in a loving environment. He was physically strong and very intelligent. A month after their marriage, they were living in the same mansion as the family. One day, Catherine wanted to tell him that she needed medicine for a fever, but she was afraid of him, especially since she was not speaking, which made it difficult to understand her.
