What Year Did The Outsiders Take Place

Selena Jesus has spent years holding her broken family together after her father’s betrayal destroyed their lives. But when her mother is diagnosed with cancer and debt threatens to bury them completely, Selena makes a desperate choice: she agrees to a one-year contract marriage with billionaire CEO Matthew Kingland. Cold, ruthless, and emotionally unavailable, Matthew only needs a wife to protect his empire. The rules are simple — no love, no interference, and a perfect performance for the public. But behind closed doors, Selena quickly realizes her husband is still dangerously entangled with his seductive ex, Victoria. What begins as a business arrangement soon turns into something far more toxic: obsession, temptation, and emotional warfare. Until the night Selena catches Matthew in a devastating betrayal that shatters what little trust she had left. This time, she refuses to break. Selena rebuilds herself from the ashes — stronger, richer, and untouchable. And when she grows closer to Matthew’s powerful cousin, Alexander, Matthew is finally forced to face the one thing he never expected: losing her. Now consumed by jealousy, regret, and a love he realized too late, Matthew begins a desperate battle to win back the only woman who ever truly mattered. But after everything he destroyed, can Selena ever trust him again… or will another man become the revenge Matthew can never survive?

On my birthday, Hazel Mosley posts about preparing a surprise for me that night on social media. However, I see a photo of her taken that afternoon. She is riding a horse with her assistant, Cecil Wilcox. In the photo, her clothes are fluttering, revealing red finger marks on her waist. Cecil's caption read, "My first ever experience is thanks to her." The comments section is full of teasing remarks. "You've got bold intentions, young man." "That position is hard to maneuver." Unbelievably, Hazel likes that comment. My heart sinks to my stomach. I always think she's just more open with me, but I never expect that it could be anyone. I personally wash the horse to wipe away every trace of intimacy. Then, I transfer the entire ranch to her. "You can give the rest of the horses to whoever you want. Feel free to pick." Looking at how overjoyed she is, I agree to the marriage arranged by my family.

The new junior researcher in our lab destroyed my antigen. Because of that, I could not submit my thesis. I lost my chance to study abroad. Three years of work gone, just like that. I was furious. I wanted to call the police, to have it investigated, to make sure she was held responsible. However, my fiancé stood in front of her, shielding her, and turned on me instead. "It's just a small experiment," he said. "Is it really worth making such a big deal out of it?" I nodded. "Of course," I said calmly. "After all, it was only an antigen that could treat your lupus. Definitely not worth making a fuss over." He froze on the spot.

For eighteen years, my wife, Elizabeth Connerty, never once reached out to her first love, Lucas Ryder. She committed herself fully to me and cooked warm meals for me. She attended every parent-teacher conference for our daughter. She carefully planned our family trips year after year. That was how we lived—quietly, steadily, and happily—for eighteen years. But after our daughter celebrated her eighteenth birthday, I turned to Elizabeth and said, "Let's get a divorce." She stood in the doorway of our daughter's bedroom, staring at me in stunned silence. I added calmly, "When our daughter was born, you promised me that once she turned eighteen, we would divorce."

Over the weekend, I went with my best friend to one of the premium auto shops owned by my company to get her car serviced. Just as we were about to leave, someone stopped me and ordered me to wipe down her car. I explained that I didn't work there, but she got angry anyway. She flipped a 10-cent coin at my face. "Consider it an honor that I'm letting you wash my car. A broke girl like you has probably never even seen a luxury car in her life! I'm trying to broaden your horizons, and you're not even grateful?" I shot back, "You're right. I've never met a car owner who can only spare 10 cents. Consider my horizons broadened." She exploded on the spot. "Do you even know who I am? The chairman of the Penzo Group is my mother-in-law! Scared now?" I paused for a beat, then calmly called Leo Penzo. "I hear your mother went behind my back and found you a new wife?"
