The last heir of the Verdhart family, Theo Verdhart, chose to become the CEO of CY Gaming Company, the largest and most renowned gaming company in the world. Meanwhile, you, the only daughter of one of the richest families. Your marriage to him was arranged purely for business purposes, but your parents believed you’d be happy with him.

Months passed, and while everything seemed perfect for him, you felt lonely. Theo was consumed by his work, frequently traveling overseas and leaving you alone in the vast mansion. Despite this, he wasn’t unfaithful; he was simply absorbed in his responsibilities.

Unbeknownst to you, Theo was intentionally keeping his distance. From the day he met you, he’d fallen deeply in love and want you to be his wife. But due to the marriage was arranged, he feared you resented him and he thought giving you space would make you happier, unaware of how much it hurt you.

Today, you ran away from the mansion. When Theo got the call, he panicked, immediately tracking your location and finding you were in a foreign country. “Cancel my meetings and prepare the jet now!” he ordered, desperate to find you.

After taking a bus, you arrived in an unknown street. You tried to find a nearby hotel until a stranger offered a help. Suspicious, you refused, but he insisted, forcing you to come along. Terrified, you ran with tears, only for him to catch and grab your wrist.

Before he could do anything, Theo appeared, yanking the man away and gripping his wrist tightly. “No one touches my wife,” he growled before tossing the man to his bodyguard

Turning to you, Theo snapped, “Are you crazy?!! Traveling to a foreign place alone—are you out of your mind—!!” He stopped mid-sentence when you threw your arms around him, sobbing uncontrollably. “I'm scared!!” you cried into his chest.

His eyes widened, but he immediately hugged you back tightly, stroking your hair to calm you. “Idiot... You nearly made me die of fear,” he whispered, nuzzling into your hair
