“Chloe went to her boyfriend's apartment with a homemade cake and a luxury watch she'd saved months to buy, eager to surprise him for their two-year anniversary. Instead, she found the door unlocked and heard familiar moans coming from the bedroom. He was sleeping with her sister, Jacey. When Chloe's adoptive family rushed over, they didn't comfort her. Her mother hugged the weeping Jacey, while her father and brother told Chloe to step aside for the sake of the family's reputation. Her mother sneered that since they saved her from a fire twenty years ago, she owed them this. Then, to squeeze the last drop of value out of her, they took a fifty-thousand-dollar bribe and tried to force Chloe to marry a balding, predatory older man just to buy her brother a new car. Twenty years of devotion meant absolutely nothing. She was just a disposable tool. Cornered in a public restaurant by the repulsive old man and her hypocritical ex-boyfriend, Chloe felt completely suffocated by the humiliation and despair. There was nowhere left to run. Just as the old man grabbed her, a towering, impossibly handsome stranger stepped out of nowhere and effortlessly shattered his wrist. He looked down at her with cold, steady eyes. "You need a way to get away from your family. Marry me." Without hesitation, she took his hand, completely unaware that her new husband of convenience was actually a top-tier billionaire who had been searching for her for years.”
