Merly still couldn't believe the life that had unfolded for her.

All she did was try to find a better future.

One year ago, she was kind and pure, and she chose Alex as her husband because he was kind, protective, and a gentleman from the capital city.

He was an early retired soldier on his way back to the capital when they first met.

At that time, Merly's handbag was stolen, and Alex came to her aid, retrieving the handbag and kicking the thief out.

As a thank you, Merly treated him to dinner. Alex was a poor soldier, and Merly took pity on him.

They exchanged numbers and kept in touch while Alex searched for a cheap place to stay in Blackwood.

Alex was looking for a job, and since Merly worked at Total construction company, she helped Alex get a job there too.

They started meeting each other more frequently, and since Alex was handsome, they hit it off really well. Just after a month of intense meetings, they got married.

At first, Merly loved Alex deeply, wanting nothing more than

    "Anybody home?" someone called early in the morning.Merly was just waking up when she heard someone knocking on her door."Miss Merly, are you home?""Yes," she yelled from the bedroom. "Just wait."She tried to dry her clothes, glancing at Ugor, still asleep like a pig beside her. She walked out and opened the door.The man looked to be in his thirties, with bushy eyebrows and a furrowed brow looking at her and inside the house.She knew what it meant: "Disgusting."Merly knew that ever since she started living with Ugor, everything had turned into a disaster.He was so dirty, never cleaned the house, and all their stuff was decaying. It was just like a pigsty."My boss wants to meet you," the man said. "Do you have time today?""Your boss?" Merly asked. "But I have to go to work today.""We will pay you for your time," the man said.Ugor's eyes suddenly opened when he heard about money. "No, you cannot take her away today," he yelled from the room and quickly walked out in only his

    Merly, Sophia, and James stared at Victoria in shock."Victoria," Sophia said, her voice trembling, "you're joking, right? It is not funny at all.""I wouldn't joke about something like this. I even reported it to my parents, and they're already here to demand Alex take responsibility. They will kill Alex if he dares not to responsible for his actions.""They're here?"

    James Carniege had spent the past few days trying hard to understand how Alex could have so much money.How could he afford jewelry, pay for food at the City Club, and even cover the wedding venue costs? He had asked several people how it was possible for Alex to have that much money.It was impossible for a retired soldier to have millions of dollars.They finally reached one conclusion: Alex must be a thief who stole money from the military fund, known to be very large."Are you sure, James?" Sophia asked, doubt starting to fill her eyes.Meanwhile, Merly and Victoria, who knew Alex's real identity, kept silent. For them, the more Sophia doubted, the better. It would be even better if Sophia divorced Alex."I am very sure, Sophia. How do you think a poor guy can have that much money?" James replied with conviction."I heard he saved a royal family during the war," Sophia said, her voice trembling."He's just bullshitting you," James added. "Do you think a thief will honestly tell yo

    As Sophia asked for time to think, everyone fell into silence, each lost in their own thoughts.“Greetings, everyone,” a voice suddenly broke the stillness."Master Keaton," Sophia called, her eyes widening at the old man that appeared to her side.“It seems like everyone here is waiting for your decision. Do you want me to help you?” Keaton smiled and drew a chair from the table, sitting beside Sophia.He took out a Tarot card deck. “Every time you're making a hard decision, an old man who believes in the supernatural, like me, can give you a clear view of your future.”Sophia didn’t believe in superstition, but the tension in the room made her consider any help she could get.“Let me play for ten minutes. Maybe it could give you a clear view of your problem,” Keaton suggested.Sophia looked at Keaton, who had always helped her, and nodded. “Please.”“Great, let this old man play the game for you.” Keaton shuffled the cards and randomly drew one, placing it in front of Merly.“The Si

    Meanwhile, Ophelia stood anxiously in the crowded hall, surrounded by people all impatiently waiting for their appointments.A few guests recognized her right away. Their eyes narrowed with contempt as they leaned toward each other, whispering loud enough for her to hear every cruel word.“Oh look, isn’t that the granddaughter of Viscountess D’Arcy?” one noblewoman said with a sneer, her voice oozing mockery.“The D’Arcy family has one foot in the grave, yet they still shamelessly show up here hoping to grab a piece of the Golden Guild project.”“I heard the old viscountess married her granddaughter off to the poorest baron in Haventon. Pathetic. And now she’s here? Maybe she should be peddling potions in the back alleys instead.”Those bitter words quickly drew attention, and the gathered elite cast scornful eyes at Ophelia, barely hiding their cruel amusement behind silk fans and smirks of mockery.Ophelia tightened her fists till her nails bit deeply into her palms.She muttered so

    Ophelia D’Arcy's voice sliced through the tense air like sharpened ice, her gaze colder than frostbite as she snapped, “I'm sorry, Grandpa Carrillo, but I don’t recall ever needing your help. And watch your filthy mouth! You're old enough to have grandchildren who are my friends—don't you have a shred of dignity left?”Robert Carrillo stood there stunned, his jaw hanging slack in disbelief.Rage and confusion battled across his wrinkled face. “Ophelia, I’m doing you a favor! Why are you still defending this worthless fool? Wake up and see reality—yes, I'm older, but I have wealth that could drown this pathetic bastard. What could he possibly offer you?”Alex Leonhard’s eyes flashed dangerously as he seized a glass from the table and hurled its icy contents straight into Robert's startled face.Dripping with chilling menace, Alex warned softly, “Better wake up, old man. Consider that a kindness—if I'd struck you with my hand, you’d already be dead.”“You insolent bastard!” Robert sputt

    Looking at her parents, who were mercilessly ridiculing Alex Leonhard, Ophelia D’Arcy let out an exasperated sigh. Her voice, trembling with emotion yet fiercely determined, interrupted the mockery.“Dad, Mom, stop blaming Alex for everything. It was my decision. I just can't bear seeing our family mocked and humiliated any longer.”“Haven’t we endured enough shame all these miserable years?"Her voice softened slightly, eyes distant with a glimmer of uncertain hope."Besides, grandmother won't accept any more excuses this time. Someone has to step up to the challenge. Who knows? Maybe fortune will finally smile upon me.”Ophelia’s mother, incredulous and visibly panicked, blurted out harshly, “Have you lost your mind?”“Even if your grandmother herself crawled on her knees, begging at their gates, they wouldn't even glance her way! You’ll bring nothing home but disgrace!”Her father's eyes hardened as he snapped sharply, “Ophelia this time you made a mistake.”From the sidelines, Ale

    Ophelia nearly leaped from her seat in shock, her eyes bulging wide as she whispered harshly, "Alex, have you gone completely mad? It’s utterly impossible! The Golden Guild would never partner with an insignificant family like ours!"But Alex merely smiled, calm and unnaturally confident, his voice steady as he whispered persuasively, "Relax, Ophelia. You’re always saying I’m nothing more than a jobless fool. So why not let this fool try?”“I'll prepare the proposal. It'll carry your name—who knows? Maybe fortune will finally smile upon us.""Alex—" Ophelia hesitated, uncertainty wavering in her voice."Come now, Ophelia," Alex urged more insistently, eyes blazing with unexpected determination."We have nothing left to lose, and everything to gain. At worst, we fail quietly, but at best—we rise triumphantly.”“Besides, look at your grandmother. She’ll erupt into flames if no one steps up."Ophelia felt herself slipping into resignation—after all, they were already at the bottom.What

    “Fine,” Alex exhaled deeply, the weight of guilt hidden beneath his stoic exterior. “Exactly how much is this damned debt?”“Half a million,” Peter replied tersely.“And?” Alex pressed impatiently.“I've settled them all. I refuse to attend university while people whisper that I still owe money.”With a dramatic flourish, Alex swung his bag onto the table, swiftly drawing out half a million dollars in crisp bills and slamming them down.Peter and Yuri stared, mouths agape.“Take this cash and get yourselves to university immediately!”“Where did you get this money?” Yuri gasped, eyes wide with disbelief.“I won it gambling,” Alex smirked devilishly. “Now leave before I gamble it all away again!”Peter snatched the money greedily, gripping it tightly. Yuri paused at the threshold, turning back briefly, whispering softly, “Thank you.”She bolted out into the night.Soon after, Ophelia approached Alex, urgency blazing in her eyes. “Alex, Grandma’s summoned us to the D’Arcy mansion.

    “You're right…” Michael whispered hoarsely, his voice dripping with bitter resignation.He dropped his gaze to the floor, unable to meet anyone’s eyes as he imagined the volcanic fury that would soon erupt from his father and his grandfather Baron Dunsmore.He had utterly destroyed their family’s empire in one reckless move.He could already see their grand barony plunging into poverty, spiraling down into disgrace, just like Alex Leonhard’s pitiful house."I—I have to get home. Immediately," Michael stammered, dread gripping his heart like an iron fist.In no time at all, scandalous whispers stormed through the streets of Haventon, spreading faster than wildfire—The Golden Guild had brutally expelled the proud Dunsmore family.Rumors flew thick and vicious, speculation rife with venom.Though no one knew exactly what grave sin had provoked the Guild’s wrath, it was clear the Dunsmores had committed an unforgivable transgression.Overnight, their vast fortune shriveled, their lofty st

    Inside the Golden Guild.The vastness struck Alex like a cathedral of wealth—marble pillars soared skyward, each one gleaming under a vaulted ceiling etched with ornate carvings.The hall buzzed like a gilded hive, sleek-suited tellers moving behind golden-trimmed counters with surgical precision.A cool blend of polished oak and metallic sharpness filled the air, mingling seamlessly with the rhythmic murmur of transactions and the musical clink of coins exchanged.Alex stepped forward, the soft click of his boots echoing defiantly on the glossy marble floor.His eyes darted through ornate signage until they landed decisively upon a gleaming plaque: "Item Appraisal & Acquisition."Three counters lay before him, each more exclusive than the last.The first brimmed with commoners clutching cheap trinkets, buzzing impatiently with bargains under hundred credits.The second hosted more composed merchants, quietly guarding wares of moderate value.Yet it was the third counter, isolated at
