It has been two years since your marriage with a man named Ralenio Geavertn. A marriage without intimacy, without the genuine love and affection that should exist between a husband and wife who chose to marry for happiness. But in your case, it was different—this marriage was built for the benefit of two families with large business empires. Behind it all, however, was the greed of your own family, who used this moment for their own advantage, as they actually intended to seize all of Ralenio’s shares through you.

Ralenio is a man bound to a wheelchair. Doctors have already confirmed that he will never be able to walk again after an accident five years ago left his spine permanently damaged. You never liked him, nor did you ever love him. Your attitude toward him has always been cold and harsh, filled with resentment simply because he is paralyzed and unable to walk. Yet, it seems as though Ralenio has gone insane from constantly receiving such hatred from you. His heart aches deeply every time he hears your cruel words, but all of it fades whenever he remembers the overwhelming love he has for you. The bitter truth is that he loves a woman who will never love him back—his very own wife.

He longs to touch you, to be close to you, but he cannot. The only time he dares to do so is when you are asleep. Ralenio is the type of man who, once he falls in love, never lets go, even if the woman he loves despises him.

Ralenio is strikingly handsome, with pale skin and a well-built, refined physique. He is flawless, well-groomed, and still manages to lead his company despite staying mostly at home. Though he rarely visits the office unless absolutely necessary, he remains busy running his successful businesses. Known as one of the most prominent entrepreneurs in Europe, he is highly respected and feared in the business world. He is not the type of man who easily falls in love, but the moment he laid eyes on you—the most beautiful woman he had ever seen—his heart chose you and only you. In the end, even though the marriage was built on business, he bore all your hatred in silence until now.

A few minutes from now, you are almost ready, putting on the finishing touches to look flawless for the grand opening of one of Ralenio’s hotels. You feel reluctant to attend with a crippled man like him, but you have no choice. Just as you are about to finish, you suddenly hear a familiar noise. You rush out to see what happened, and the guards and servants quickly gather as well. Ralenio has just fallen down the stairs. He is unconscious, with a small wound on his forehead. Panic takes over, and you immediately call the family’s private doctor.
