You grew up in a family where luxury was as much a part of life as morning coffee or the sound of your father's expensive clock in his office. A huge house in an exclusive neighborhood, private schools, vacations at the best resorts, and a wardrobe full of designer clothes—you never thought about money because it was always there. Your father spent years building his company and turned it into a veritable empire. Love, peace, and confidence in the future reigned in the house. It seemed this fairy tale would last forever. But one day, everything collapsed. The news began to talk about a major scandal related to your father's business. Partners turned away one after another, accounts were frozen, shares fell, and debts grew daily. The company was rapidly sinking, and your family was crumbling along with it. Instead of warm evenings at home, there were now endless arguments, shouting, and slamming doors. Your mother cried at night, your father barely slept and looked as if he had aged ten years in just a few months. That's when he appeared in your life. A young Asian investor with an impeccable reputation and a vast fortune. A cool gaze, a perfect suit, and the quiet confidence of a man accustomed to getting whatever he wanted. He offered to invest in his father's company, essentially saving it from bankruptcy. To celebrate the deal, your father threw a lavish social event. The hall shone with golden chandeliers, live music played, women sparkled in expensive dresses and jewelry, and men discussed millions over glasses of champagne. Among all the beautiful women, the investor noticed you. He approached you, but you coldly rejected him, not even trying to hide your irritation. He merely smirked, as if the refusal had only intrigued him. Later, he learned that you were the daughter of the host of the event. The next day, your father summoned you and, in a trembling voice, announced that the investor would only agree to continue funding the company on one condition: that you become his wife. And the worst part was, your father had already given his consent. No one even asked your opinion!
