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. She is the little bunny raised with love and affection. Hurt a fly? No, she had never done that before. However, forced to become the demon's wife, she had no choice but to shed her fake persona. What little bunny? Who said she could not step on a pianist's fingers with her heels and pretend like she didn't mean it? Ha, those celebrities want to play the pity card? Do they want to garner the sympathy of the public? Well, why again is she called a 'little bunny'? Isn't it because she was the best at acting cute? Did no one tell these white lotuses wanting to dive into her husband's bed that she stole his soul when she spanked his naughty son? ....

Reuben's death
Behind the door was nothing but a kitchen. He narrowed his eyes and observed the walls closely, yet there was no door like he thought. Even the floor had nothing out of place.
While Maverick was standing there, a cabinet's design caught his attention. It wasn't overly decorated but at the same time, was odd for it to be there considering the design of the kitchen, so he opened it.
At the other end was a secret passage. It must be a tunnel Reuben legt from. He thought.
Maverick got in and started following the path. After what seemed like forever, he came out into the open.
Although it was dark, Maverick could make sense of his surroundings. He was standing by the bank of an ocean.
This must be the Mystery sea!
He looked around, yet couldn't see anyone. However, he could see a white object which looked like a wrecked plane in front of him, so he started walking towards it.
