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.

Finding out the truth (3)
Fat tears pulled out of Alex's eyes. She could feel the stabbing pain in her chest. She slowly clawed her chest. Her daughter and sister suffered so much, yet her sister told her nothing about it.
On that day, while they were fighting the enemies, Alex saw her sister bleeding from the stomach and it wasn't a bullet wound, so Alex thought it was the enemies' blood. After all, they were using anything dangerous– that included guns and surgical tools. If she knew that the blood on Alice's stomach was from Alice's injury, she wouldn't have allowed her to continue fighting.
Coming to that realization, Alex couldn't contain her sorrow anymore. She cried so hard that her voice broke.
All these while, Diana was looking at her without consoling her. That was how she cried too. Everything was Alex's fault, so I'll let her cry blood! She thought.
