First-Person POVGirl PowerDramaCEOLove after MarriageRevengeWeak to Strong
Emelia Perez has spent twenty-five years living as a stranger in her own home. Not once has she felt the warmth of her parents’ love. Instead, their affection is entirely consumed by her younger sister, Bianca Perez. In that house, Emelia is nothing more than a servant whose energy is drained without end.

Without hesitation, Emelia accepts the arrangement. To her, marrying a man rumored to be cruel, temperamental, and disabled by a tragic accident is a golden ticket to escape the hell created by her family.

However, a shock awaits her behind the gates of the De Leon palace. Samuel is not the disfigured man people spoke of. He is a man of lethal handsomeness.

Chapter: Accepting the ChallengePOV. Samuel. “Sir, Pedro Perez’s company cannot repay its debt on time.”Hearing the report from my trusted man, I remained silent, my gaze as sharp as an eagle’s. Even though I rarely showed myself at the company after the tragic accident three years ago, everyone still feared and respected me. Rumors said I had turned into a bloodthirsty monster.“If he cannot pay, tell him to pay with his life,” I said firmly, without a trace of mercy.“Sir, he… he is offering his daughter as collateral.”A cynical smile formed on my lips. How could a father be so cruel as to sell his own flesh and blood just to settle a debt? Disgusting.“Tell him the child he offers will become a servant here forever.”“Yes, Sir,” my guard replied before leaving my office.This room has been my world for the past three years. From here, I monitor all movements of my business. In truth, I can still work as before. The accident only injured my leg, it did not take away my ability to walk.Yes, I am not truly cripp

Chapter: ChallengeI slowly pulled my head back when I didn’t get any response from Samuel. But just as my face moved a few centimeters away, his hand suddenly grabbed the back of my neck. He pulled me back with a strong jerk, then immediately sealed my lips with a fierce, hungry kiss.Inside, I cheered in triumph. I didn’t stay still. I returned Samuel’s kiss with equal passion, devouring his lips, demanding more, while my hand slipped into his hair. This was the response I had been waiting for.The kiss broke with both of us breathing heavily. But when I looked into his eyes, the warmth vanished, replaced by that same cold, flat gaze, as if the passion earlier had only been a fleeting illusion.“Leave…” he hissed.Hearing that, I looked at him in confusion. How could it be that after such a heated kiss, I was being dismissed just like that? Samuel should take responsibility. Something stirred inside me. I wanted more than just a touch on the lips, especially with his tempting body right in front of me

Chapter: KissI don’t know what task he’ll give me next. For the past hour, Samuel has been fixated on the laptop screen at his desk, while I’ve been ordered to stand still in the corner of the room.Does this man have no sense of compassion? Just imagine it, my legs have gone numb from standing for more than an hour. I feel like my presence here is nothing more than a decoration, or a ghost haunting the room.Because of the fatigue and drowsiness creeping in, I decided to slip out. I moved as quietly as possible, sneaking behind Samuel’s wheelchair like a thief afraid of being caught. I hoped the man who looked so busy wouldn’t notice my movement.But that hope vanished instantly. Samuel’s deep baritone voice broke the silence, making me freeze in place.“Where are you going, Emelia?”I slowly turned around, looking at him with the most pitiful expression I could manage. “I’m tired, Samuel. I’m sleepy too. It’s already late, can I go to sleep?” I said, trying to draw sympathy from my notoriously c

Chapter: Swimming poolI truly felt that the man who was now my husband was insane.Yes, insane. Samuel De Leon had no sense of humanity at all. My entire body ached, especially my waist, which felt like it might break after having to pick up thousands of fallen leaves in that vast yard.I let out a long breath as I lay down. At least there was one thing I could be grateful for. Tonight, I could sleep on a soft bed. My suffering did not feel as severe compared to when I was at my parents’ house. Here, I could also eat as much as I wanted without waiting for their leftovers or asking Mother for permission.“Maybe I really am not their biological child,” I muttered softly.That thought always crossed my mind whenever I remembered how they had treated me for the past twenty-five years. But I quickly brushed it aside. Everything was in the past now. I had escaped that hell and had officially become part of the De Leon family.Now, I only had one focus, to survive. But how? Would I let myself remain a lowly serv

Chapter: Why not a maid in bed?“This is your room, Madam...”I looked at the room the servant had just shown me. It was quite large, even very spacious compared to my room in my old house, which only had a thin mattress that left my whole body sore every morning.“I sleep alone?” I asked directly. Considering my status as his legal wife, should I not be sharing a room with my husband?“Yes, Madam. Mr. Samuel’s room is on the third floor,” the servant replied politely.I let out a long breath and nodded. My eyes fell on a corner of the room. Several sets of maid uniforms were neatly arranged there. So they really intended to make me a servant in this house.Suddenly, a brilliant idea crossed my mind. Without saying a word, I walked out to look for my husband’s room on the third floor.I was panting as I climbed the stairs one step at a time. Still, I kept pushing myself. Damn it, why am I using the stairs when there is an elevator? I complained inwardly when I reached the second floor and saw a servant stepping out

Chapter: Marriage Request POV Emelia.“Marry Mr. Samuel, Emelia!”I fell silent when Father asked me to marry a man I didn’t even know. I looked at him calmly. I knew something was wrong, considering how he had always favored Bianca, my younger sister, over me. It should have been Bianca, not me.“Why me? Why not Bianca?” I asked flatly.“Your sister is still too young, Emelia!” Mother replied as she walked in, carrying a cup of warm tea for Father.Hearing that, I smiled cynically. Too young? What a ridiculous excuse, considering we are only two years apart. Just last year, I had to give up the man I loved for Bianca, who apparently loved him too.“I’m sorry, I can’t, Father. I don’t want to get married,” I refused immediately.“How dare you talk back, Emelia? You must marry President Director Samuel, whether you like it or not! You will be the collateral because your father owes a huge debt to his company!” Mother snapped.I gave a bitter smile. So that was the reason. Debt. How pathetic. It made me wonder
