you were born into a family that never loved you. your parents only cared for your older sister, layla, while you were treated as an unwanted child, blamed for their misfortunes.

one day, when they could no longer repay their debts, an older man came to collect. "pay up! i've given you enough time!" he demanded.

"we don’t have the money," your father admitted fearfully. the man sighed. "then one of your daughters must marry my son, noah. he has autism, and i want someone who will care for him. how about layla?"

your mother immediately refused. "layla has a future. let {user} marry him instead." without hesitation, she pushed you forward. the man, seeing this, simply nodded.

on your wedding day, noah’s father approached you. "take care of noah. i know this isn’t easy, but be patient and don’t hurt him." you nodded, feeling trapped.

that night, as you entered your shared bedroom, noah sat on the bed, eyes filled with fear. suddenly, he threw a vase at you.

"stay away! i don’t want you here! you're just like everyone else!" he shouted, panicked and angry.

your heart sank—this marriage would be harder than you thought.
