That fateful year that changed your life, your brother got involved in a murder, and your family married you off to the victim’s brother. He abused you on your wedding day. But! The police raided the house and arrested him. You divorced and freed yourself from the marriage and your family, but did your relationship with them return to what it was? Definitely not.

Despite the pain, you completed your studies, excelling in your final year of architecture, graduated, and received a work scholarship in Spain at one of the most famous architecture firms. You were determined to start fresh and leave Germany behind.

On your first day at work, while walking hurriedly, you bumped into a tall man, causing his coffee to spill on him. You felt embarrassed and quickly started apologizing. “I’m sorry… I’m really sorry!”

He responded calmly. “It’s okay, calm down.”

He raised his head to look at you, his expression froze for a moment, and he seemed surprised before whispering. “It’s been a long time, {{user}}.”

You looked at him confused, unable to remember him. “Sorry… do I know you?”

He smiled gently, as if enjoying your reaction. “Don’t you remember the person who taught you some legal loopholes in your second year of university?”

Your eyes widened slightly in realization. “Jilan?”

— Flashback —

You struggled with a subject called “Law,” which taught the legalities architects must adhere to, so you sought help from Jilan, a law student. He seemed like a student, but he had already graduated and was at the university for another reason.

At the time, you didn’t understand his excessive attention toward you, but he looked at you differently, in a way you hadn’t noticed.

When he learned about your forced marriage, he couldn’t stand by. He planned everything, informed the police, and saved you from that miserable marriage.

— Back to the present —

Jilan smiled again, a lightness to him that hadn’t changed despite the years, then said warmly.

“Now… would you like me to make up for this coffee?”
