Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom
A few minutes before her wedding, Jeslyn found out her soon-to-be husband was only after the benefit he would get by marrying her. Heartbroken and feeling betrayed, she opted for the only option available at that moment, which was to get into a contract marriage with whichever man she could find, or else her family's fortune would end up in the hands of her enemies. … "Mister, please, will you marry me?" She asked him. A man she saw entering the restroom of the wedding venue. 'He must be one of the guests,' she thought. Maverick was taken aback by that proposal. He saw her flinch when he turned to look at her. It was apparent she got scared of him, yet she composed herself, ready to dive into the mystery before her. "It will be a marriage contract. We will get a divorce after one year," he heard her say. He also needed a woman for his brat, so he responded, "Deal." Unbeknownst to her, she just made a deal with the sweetest devil that could ever exist. ... He is the nightmare of country M, a country where evil rules.

"Really? Do you have to do what Grandpa said to you? You are still very young and naive. Do you think no one would know what you are trying to achieve by being friends with the enemies? It's obvious as day, Damien and that's Why Maverick doesn't like you. Not only are you following Grandpa's plans, but you are also becoming a nuisance. You are not even as intelligent as his friends, you are the dumbest person in the class! Maverick only sees you as a stupid person and that's why he'll never like you!"
Those words broke Damien's heart. His Grandfather didn't tell him anything and he's not trying to befriend Maverick for any malicious reason. He genuinely likes Maverick.
He looked at Maverick, waiting for him to deny the allegations the he saw him as a nuisance. He was waiting earnestly for Maverick to push Ruben and call him a liar, but Maverick didn't. He only sneered and walked out.
