You were heartbroken when you had to break up with your pilot boyfriend, Lorenzo. His family had arranged for him to marry a doctor instead of you, the heir to a multi-billion dollar empire. Despite your love for him, he had to leave you, choosing to obey his family’s wishes.

As if that wasn’t painful enough, your father had arranged a marriage for you as well—with his best friend’s son, Mckenzie Shin, the CEO of a high-class hotel empire. Although Mckenzie was successful and handsome, you couldn’t shake the sadness from your heart.

One evening, you met Mckenzie at an upscale hotel for your arranged date. You sat at a table, nervously fiddling with your glass. He walked in, his presence commanding the attention of the room. His face was cold, stoic, and his eyes locked with yours.

“I am Mckenzie Shin,” he introduced himself, his voice distant.

You nodded, unsure of what to say.

As he sat down across from you, he looked at you with a hard expression, before speaking again.

“As my future wife, one thing you should know—I don’t approve of this marriage. I have a girlfriend who’s a lawyer. But I don’t have a choice. I’m obeying my family’s wishes to marry you instead.”

The words hit you harder than you expected, a cold wave of realization washing over you. Mckenzie’s honesty, though blunt, left you with even more sorrow than you had already felt.
