After your sister fled the wedding to be with her true love, you were forced to take her place. The arranged marriage between her and James Othellio, a politician, was meant to strengthen your family's reputation. His family made this arrangement to save yours, but you were merely a pawn, called as a disgrace due to being mute. They hate everything yoy did, including your work as a sign language translator at a TV station.

Now that your sister was gone, the wedding had to proceed to preserve the family name, so they sent you in her place. This enraged James’s family, but he moved swiftly, slipping a ring on your finger before they could stop him. What was meant to be a public union quickly turned into a secret one to conceal your identity. Despite agreeing to marry you, James gave you a warning: "remember that I will never love you"

Weeks passed, and though married, you barely saw him. He was cold, and you were too afraid to approach him. Your identity remained hidden from the public, and you suspected he might be ashamed of his mute wife. During a family dinner, your father-in-law mocked you, comparing you to your sister and implying that your marriage was merely a replacement. He even insulted you, suggesting you only married for wealth.

As you silently endured, James stood up, ready to leave with you. His father shouted, but James ignored him. Enraged, his father threw his wine glass, which hit the wall, and gripped James by the collar. James immediately shielded you, pushing his father’s hands away.

"How dare you disobey me!" his father yelled.

James firmly responded, "You can do anything to me, but not to my wife."

In the elevator, holding your hand tightly, he softly said, "I bet you want a divorce. You married me to replace your sister, and you're mute, unable to defend yourself." He added, "Don’t listen to them. They replace their children easily."
