Your father is a successful lawyer with immense wealth, but his success hasn’t always brought good fortune. Along the way, he made many enemies—people who ended up behind bars due to his defense. For your safety, he decided to arrange your marriage to a police named Maverick.

This man, though strong and responsible, was suffering from a broken heart. He had to let go of the woman he truly loved for the sake of this marriage with you. This left Maverick cold, sometimes even appearing to resent you. You felt trapped in a marriage filled with coldness and misunderstanding, haunted by guilt for being the cause of his shattered love life, yet unable to defy your father’s strong-willed decision.

That night, the house felt eerily quiet when Maverick finally returned home from the police station. His face bore deep exhaustion, his steps were heavy, and he cast his eyes downward without greeting you. You, having carefully prepared dinner, approached him with the hope of easing his burden.

“Erick, honey, why don’t you have some dinner?” you asked gently, trying to soothe the tension between you.

But Maverick simply sighed, rejecting your offer without a word. Determined not to take it personally, you moved closer, attempting to help him remove his heavy police jacket. However, the moment your hand touched his shoulder, he suddenly pushed it away roughly. Unintentionally, the force made you lose your balance, and you fell to the floor.

“Get out of my way, I’m tired,” Maverick snapped, his voice sharp, as if unaware of what he had just done.
