In order to save Ethan Thomas from the law, Ethan's lawyer came up with a solution, suggesting that Ethan marry the girl he slept with. However, a few hours before the wedding, Mila escaped from the wedding with a huge amount of money that she appropriated from Ethan.

In retaliation for the care of her foster parents over the years, Ula has agreed to marry Ethan in order to erase the huge amount of money that Mila has seized. She accepts to marry a stranger she doesn't love. Will this unexpected marriage lead to a good outcome? Or is this marriage just a disguise in exchange for Ethan's freedom? Will the love between Ethan and Ula be born? Or is this just a marriage contract between two people?

Chapter 1: Suddenly arrested

At the warm dawn in the city of Toronto, where the sun weaves golden threads over the beautiful high-rise buildings, casting its glow upon the bustling streets, Ethan Thomas was awakened in room 2023 at the JW Blue hotel. With a heavy mind and blurred vision, Ethan slowly opened his eyes. When he opened his eyes, he saw the ceiling spinning in the hotel room. After stabilizing his sight, Ethan turned his gaze to find the source of the distressing cries. Immediately, he was confronted with the image of a young girl sitting huddled in the corner against the wall. Her body was only covered with a simple piece of cloth, and her long hair concealed her face. The girl was sobbing incessantly, mumbling words of pleading. Ethan was utterly puzzled by the situation.

In a sudden rush, he sat up to his feet, inadvertently causing the blanket to fall from his chest. Startled, Ethan realized his own nakedness. He tried to summon his memory to make sense of the situation but quickly failed. His mind was completely blank.

While he was still in a state of confusion, without even having a chance to put on clothes or inquire about the situation with the girl in the corner, there came a knock on the door.

"Open the door quickly!"

Following the direction of the voice, Ethan looked toward the door, revealing his perplexity. At the same time, the girl, upon hearing someone outside, rushed to open the door. However, the door was securely locked, and she didn't have the key.

"The door is locked!" The girl screamed in panic.

"Stay away from the door; we'll break it open," the voice from outside transmitted. As if understanding the situation, the girl quickly retreated away from the door.

In no time, the door was forcefully opened. Ethan hadn't even had a chance to intervene before the act of sabotage occurred.

Immediately, before the girl, appeared a group of three people—two men and one woman—all dressed in police uniforms. The girl, upon seeing the police, burst into tears, showing a terrified and pitiful expression.

"Can I ask if you're the one who called the police?" The female officer looked at the scantily clad girl, inquiring gently.

The girl nodded and replied, "Yes, that's correct."

"Where is the suspect?" The female officer asked again.

"He's in there," the girl said, trembling. She didn't dare turn to look inside the room, fearing that Ethan would see her face.

"Alright, we're here now. Don't worry, no one will harm you anymore." The female officer comforted the girl with a hug.

The girl nodded understandingly and automatically stepped aside, making way for the police to enter.

At this moment, Ethan seemed to no longer pay attention to the noise at the door. He took the opportunity to pick up his clothes from the floor to put them on. Suddenly, a group of people rushed in. Ethan was startled as someone stood behind him, and he hadn't finished putting on his clothes yet.

"Who are you all?" Ethan raised an eyebrow, looking at the uninvited guests, and asked in an annoyed tone, "Why dare you barge into my room?"

"We are the police." One of the two men spoke and showed his police badge to Ethan, saying, "We received a report of a rape incident here."

Ethan was extremely surprised to hear this news. It was early in the morning, and he hadn't mentally prepared himself to deal with any jokes or humor, let alone something as serious as this.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ethan asked, still not grasping the danger he was in. "There must be some misunderstanding here. Did you enter the wrong room?"

"I don't think so," one of the police officers replied patiently. "The victim called the police to report the incident."

"What?" Ethan was once again astonished by the news. "Who did that? Do they even know who I am to dare?"

"Girl, tell us: Did this man rape you?" The female officer interrupted Ethan as she walked in. She had been attending to the girl, who was presumed to be the victim.

The frightened girl cowered behind the female officer without hesitation and accused Ethan. "Yes, he is the one who raped me."

She pointed her trembling finger towards Ethan. After a moment of shock and disbelief, Ethan felt anger welling up within him at being suddenly falsely accused. He raised his voice and said, "Hey, be careful with your statements. When did I rape her?"

"Last night, you did. Even though I begged you to stop," the girl sobbed, "you took away my virginity."

After the girl finished speaking, she cried in the arms of the female officer.

"Lies!" Ethan angrily retorted. "This is a blatant fabrication. I did not rape her."

Ethan wanted to approach the girl to reason and refute the accusations, but the police officers intervened, believing he was threatening the victim. In response to Ethan's aggressive demeanor, the girl clung even tighter to the female officer, too afraid to face him directly. Throughout the conversation, she never lifted her head or looked at Ethan, fearing he might see her face.

"We ask that you remain calm." The police sternly told Ethan, "Please finish dressing up, then follow us to the station."

"I haven't committed any crime," Ethan exclaimed indignantly. "I'm sure she's lying. She's just a cheap prostitute who willingly climbed into my bed."

"We will investigate and clarify every aspect of this matter. If you are innocent, we will definitely restore justice for you. Now, please seriously comply with the order and come with us to the police station," the police officer said firmly, trying to control Ethan's agitation.

Despite feeling frustrated and unwilling, Ethan had no other choice. He was forced to follow the police. Fortunately for him, while leaving the hotel, he didn't attract much attention. Otherwise, it would have been even more embarrassing to be seen in that situation.

The girl presumed to be the victim also had to go to the police station to give her statement. However, she was escorted in a separate vehicle to avoid riding in the same car with Ethan.

Observing Ethan being led away by the police, the mysterious figure smirked with evident satisfaction.

Chapter 2: Falling into a scary trap
At this moment, at the police station, Ethan was escorted into the criminal interrogation room. The police asked him questions about the case and demanded that he answer truthfully, but he remained solemn and resolute, asserting his right to remain silent. Ethan believed that there was no one here he could trust, and therefore, staying silent was the best way to protect himself. "We will provide you with a lawyer," the police said, hoping that Ethan would cooperate so they could clarify the case. "No need," Ethan calmly declined. "Are you sure?" The police reminded him, "That's not a wise choice." "I want my own lawyer to come here," Ethan insisted without explaining anything. ... As soon as Liam, Ethan's private lawyer and close friend, received the news of Ethan's arrest, he quickly flew from New York to Toronto and went straight to the police station to find out about the situation. After working with the police and the victim's lawyer, Liam also got to meet and talk privatel

First, he decided to keep a close eye on the girl who accused Ethan of raping her to uncover the mastermind behind it.During the surveillance and investigation, Liam learned that the girl's family owed money to the mafia. It seemed likely that she had collaborated with Ethan's enemy to orchestrate this scheme to harm him. If the case is successful, the girl will have some money to pay off the debt.After three days of following the girl, Liam speculates that the girl may be very worried and frustrated that she still hasn't received the amount she should have received after completing the task.Trusting his sharp instincts, Liam devised a highly feasible plan.

Chapter 4: Emergency wedding, Missing bride.
Everything went according to plan afterward. Liam successfully convinced the judge to believe in his direction. After two weeks of being detained in the police station's temporary cell, Ethan was finally released when Mila changed her testimony and withdrew the lawsuit as per the mutual agreement between her and Liam. That's great for Ethan, but it's something his enemies hate and despise. Although pronounced innocent, everything wasn't entirely back to normal for both Ethan and Mila. Both of them were fined a significant amount for disturbing the peace with the law. Additionally, Ethan had to be under the supervision of Toronto city authorities for six months, meaning he couldn't return to the US or travel anywhere else during that period. Though somewhat disgruntled, Ethan accepted it, knowing that being free was already a positive outcome.Today, three days after Ethan's release, the fake marriage agreement between Ethan and Mila is supposed to take place. The ceremony is simple, d

Chapter 5: Substitute bride.
"I don't want to," Ula firmly replied, immediately receiving a hostile look from her mother."Ula..." her mother scolded. "Listen to me.""Why do I have to marry someone I know nothing about?" Ula asked angrily. "This is Mila's wedding. Why don't we postpone it and go look for her? If Mila is taken away, isn't Mila's life in danger?""This..." Unable to answer Ula's question, her mother looked at Liam as if expecting him to explain."The wedding cannot be postponed. It must proceed today, no matter what," Liam asserted in a loud voice. "Besides, we can't let anyone know about Mila's disappearance. If you want to find Mila, you have to wait until this wedding is over.""Why?" Ula stared at Liam, demanding a plausible explanation: "Is Mila's disappearance more important than the wedding?"The reason Ula asked that was because she did not know about the deal between Mila and Ethan. According to Ula, finding Mila is more important; even though she doesn't like Mila, she doesn't want Mila

Chapter 6: Threats, after the wedding.
Ethan's tension was finally relieved as the wedding ceremony and the celebratory reception unfolded smoothly, and it was time to wrap up.Throughout the reception, Ethan and Ula continuously moved from table to table, receiving congratulations and expressing their gratitude to the guests in attendance. It's worth noting that neither Ethan nor Ula knew most of the guests. This wedding was merely a play directed by Liam and scripted with the purpose of deceiving the judge. Therefore, it held no significance for Ethan and Ula. Despite meeting for the first time, their acting was remarkably professional. Their seamless coordination, rhythmic movements, and intimate gestures towards each other successfully convinced onlookers that everything was genuine, and any doubts about a staged marriage were not given a chance to arise.Now, at the exit of a simple, unassuming restaurant, Ethan was engaged in a conversation with a special and honorary guest at his fake wedding—the judge of the city o

Chapter 7: On the wedding night, Ethan did not let Ula into the house.
It didn't take Liam long to find Ethan near the entrance to the men's restroom. Ethan just walked out of there. "Ethan, there you are. Let's have a talk," Liam immediately suggested. "Liam, I also wanted to talk to you," Ethan impatiently revealed. "Did you..." "Let's go somewhere more private to talk. Liam interrupted with a proposal and led the way for Ethan to follow. When they both stopped in a secluded area outside the restaurant, Ethan immediately voiced his frustration to Liam. "Where have you been? I didn't see you at the party until now. Did you know I had to deal with all the chaos at the party myself? Ethan complained. "I had some things to take care of," Liam calmly explained. "Why didn't you say anything to me? Ethan continued to blame "I can see that you're busy, so I don't want to bother you. Ethan, remember, this is your wedding, not mine. You have to take charge of your own big day." "Don't say those ridiculous and insensitive things," Ethan angrily retorted,

Chapter 8: Ula slept outside in the middle of a rainy night
After ceasing her tears, ending her complaints, and ceasing to blame the heavens for her unfortunate fate, Ula believed that tonight she could endure and overcome the first challenge in this marriage. However, everything was not determined by Ula and seemed to go against what Ula had hoped for. With Ula's determination and hope, everything collapsed with a sudden rainstorm. Rain poured down from the sky, and in an instant, the scenery around Ula looked cold and bleak. Since the doorstep had no shelter, the heavy rain mercilessly drenched Ula, making her both cold and wet. Ula thought about knocking on the door and begging Ethan to let her in, but her pride wouldn't allow her to humble herself too much in front of Ethan. Furthermore, there was no guarantee that Ethan would hear Ula's plea, or if he did, he might choose to ignore her. From the beginning, Ethan had intended to leave Ula outside the house in the middle of the night. Ula also considered other options, like leaving or seek

Chapter 9: Ula has a severe fever
In the evening, Lisa had to return to her own home to take care of her husband and child. At this time, Ethan was in his room reading a book when Lisa came and knocked on the door. "Mr. Thomas, it's Lisa. I have something to tell you." "Please come in," Ethan said, his eyes still fixed on the book in his hand. With permission granted, Lisa entered the room. "What's the matter?" Ethan asked calmly, but in his heart, he was somewhat concerned about Ula. "How is that girl doing?" "She still hasn't regained consciousness," Lisa explained with worry. "Her fever hasn't subsided despite the medication I gave her. I think we should take her to the hospital." Hearing Lisa's words, Ethan clicked his tongue in annoyance. Ula's condition was so bad that she needed to be hospitalized. If Liam found out about this, Ethan was sure to be scolded for ignoring Liam's warning. Plus, if it came to the judge's attention, Ethan was certain he would face a big problem. Seeing that Ethan remained sile

Chapter 10: Ethan begins to Abuse Ula
"I won't allow you to leave here," Ethan asserted firmly."It's quite puzzling." Ula sternly expressed her curiosity. "From the beginning, it was you who didn't allow me to enter this house. Now you won't let me leave. What do you want, exactly?"In response to Ula's rightful curiosity, Ethan remained silent for a moment and then said, "In short, you must stay here, and you're not allowed to go anywhere.""You have no right to command or restrain me," Ula affirmed, asserting her democratic rights. "You certainly have no right to detain me. Who do you think you are? Don't behave so arrogantly and grivoisly. It's disgusting."Ignoring Ula's defiant attitude and without providing a clear, reasonable explanation to persuade her, Ethan resorted to threats."Listen carefully; if you dare to disobey my orders, you and your family will undoubtedly suffer dire consequences. Be wise and obedient." Ethan's tone sounded chilling, and his demeanor, especially his gaze when looking at Ula, was trul
