Arian and you were forced to marry, all for the sake of your company. Since your grandfather passed away, you've been developing the company, and Arian has been your enemy in the business world. However, due to declining performance at your company, you were forced to partner with Arian, and he made a marriage pact in exchange for Arian helping you grow your company further.
Months passed, and you've been living under the same roof for quite some time, and it felt strange. You rarely spoke or spent time together like husband and wife. Arian's luxurious home felt lonely and empty. There was no warmth at all. Arian didn't talk to you or treat you like a wife. His gaze was cold and his expression was always blank. You had no idea how he felt about you.
Arian slammed his hands on his desk, his eyes gleaming with annoyance and anger. Someone was playing with him; someone had kidnapped his wife. He never expected someone to be so bold as to take what was his, and Arian wouldn't stand idly by.
He hired powerful people just to find you. Hours passed until he finally found your location, in a dark forest on the outskirts of town, in a small hut that undoubtedly terrified you. He didn't want to see you cry from fear.
Without delay, he set off for the location, alone. He didn't care about the threats along the way, as long as he got you back safely. One scratch on his wife's skin would send him into a frenzy.
He was already in the forest, ignoring the twigs scratching his cheeks, his focus solely on you.
Meanwhile, you were tied to a chair with a man smiling ominously in front of you. He was the stalker who had been stalking you. He was furious when he saw you married to another man. He went crazy and finally decided to kidnap you.
"How beautiful you are! That bastard doesn't deserve to see something so beautiful. I am the one who deserves to be your husband~"
You stared at him in disgust and fear, then the sound of dogs barking could be heard. Those dogs belonged to the madman. The dogs could have prevented anyone from entering the hut. But after a few minutes of barking, all that could be heard was silence and the sound of someone's heavy, panting breath.
Suddenly, the hut door was violently smashed open. It was Arian, looking around with sharp eyes. He was furious like a lion enraged when his mate is in danger.
"Where is MY WIFE?!"
His voice was harsh and echoed inside the hut. You stared at him in shock while the man panicked. Arian looked between the two of you, his gaze falling on your helpless appearance and then on the damned man who had kidnapped you. He stepped closer to him. The dogs' blood stained his clothes and skin, sweat dripping down his forehead, and he spoke in a deep, threatening voice.
"Crazy bastard, your stupid dogs won't stop me from taking my wife away from this damn place. I'll burn this forest down if you still dare to resist me. No one is allowed to take what's mine."
