The night before the wedding, the effects of the drug wore off. I woke up in the master bedroom of the estate to the sound of laughter. The moment I opened my eyes, I saw my custom-made suit being cut into strips by Jessica Solomon's male best friend, Chris Johnson. As he twirled a pair of scissors in his hand, he joked with the viewers on his livestream. "Man of the house? Please. He's lying there completely helpless. Anybody could do whatever they want to him." Jessica's friends burst into laughter and chimed in. "Jessica put sleeping pills in his milk herself. Anybody would've been knocked out cold." The livestream chat flooded with comments ridiculing me as the pathetic man marrying into a wealthy family, but Jessica simply watched with amusement and reached over to ruffle Chris' hair. "Feeling better now? Be good and end the livestream. If he wakes up and causes a scene, tomorrow's wedding will be a mess." Only after everyone left did Jessica sit down beside the bed and pull the blanket over me. "Chris is depressed. He can't handle being upset. We'll deal with this later. "I've already arranged for a replacement suit to be flown in overnight on a private jet. Honestly, that one suits you better anyway." My fingers tightened around the bedsheet. Silently, I sent a message to Katie Everton. [I'm not getting married. Does what you said before still stand?]

Whenever he resisted, he got beaten up.Two weeks later, I accompanied Katie on an inspection of one of her shopping centers.We had just reached the entrance when a foul-smel

Rain pounded against the gates of Everton Manor. The sound was dull.Jessica had been standing outside in the storm all night.Her clothes were soaked through, and rainwater dripped from her chin, but she remained perfectly upright.She stared at the iron gates without moving. Her voice was hoarse and trembling."Zac, please come out and see me, will you?"Her cries were carried through the rain and into the living room.I sat before the fireplace while holding a cup of coffee Katie had just brewed. Steam blurred my vision."Do you want me to have someone remove her?" Katie wrapped her arms around me from behind. She sounded disgusted.I shook my head and put down my cup."No. Some things need to be cleared up face-to-face."I put on a coat, held up an umbrella, and walked out.The gates slowly opened. The moment Jessica saw me, overwhelming joy filled her face.She staggered forward, only to be stopped by a bodyguard outside.She didn't get angry. Instead, she carefully r

The helicopter touched down smoothly on the helipad of Everton Manor in the suburbs.Katie jumped out first. She then turned around and reached out to me."Welcome home, Mr. Everton," she whispered into my ear. Her breath brushed against my skin.I blushed a little, and my heart skipped a beat. I didn't object to the title.Over the following days, Katie settled me into life at the manor. I received the best medical care and every comfort imaginable.She canceled unnecessary social engagements and returned home early every day to spend time with me. We took walks together and read books together.Even after three years apart, I still felt as close to her as ever. She was still the same woman whose entire world revolved around me.Outside the manor, however, the Solomon family was falling apart.Everton Financial Group's withdrawal triggered a chain reaction. Within three days, Solomon Group's cash flow completely collapsed.Banks demanded repayment, and suppliers came knocking

Shock flashed across Jessica's eyes. Her expression immediately darkened, and her hoarse voice turned deep.Her gaze locked onto Katie's hand resting around my waist. She looked furious.Yet her voice remained as commanding as ever."Stop messing around. Come stand beside me."The two bodyguards behind Katie immediately stepped forward and blocked Jessica's path.Forced to stop, Jessica's wedding gown wrinkled slightly from the abrupt movement.She ignored the bodyguards. Her eyes remained fixed on me through the crowd.It was obvious she was clenching her jaw. There was a possessive look in her eyes."Jessica!" Chris cried out and tried to run forward, but another bodyguard stopped him a few feet away.The ballroom fell completely silent. Every guest held their breath. No one dared make a sound.Katie's reputation was legendary in the business world.The Solomon family might have been considered wealthy locally, but compared to Everton Financial Group, they were insignifica

"Okay," I said calmly before putting down the glass.Relief flickered in Jessica's eyes. She ruffled my hair."I knew you'd be reasonable. The doctor said Chris has been extremely emotionally unstable lately. He's frequently showing signs of self-harm."As my future husband, please be a little un

"Stop sulking. I promise you're the one who's going to be the son-in-law of the Solomon family."Jessica Solomon's sweet voice echoed through the bedroom.She patted my shoulder through the blanket while trying to soothe me.I kept my eyes shut and forced my breathing to remain steady. I didn't a
