As a poor orphan, Lucas had endured nothing but scorn, humiliation, and contempt his entire life. For years, he believed that was all life was about—until he met Ariadne Brook. She became the light in his dark world, the kindness to the world's wickedness, his warmth in a cold world, and the love to the world's hatred. She was everything the world couldn't be. But the same couldn’t be said for her family. They were just like the rest of the world. Living with the Brooks, he was treated as nothing more than a servant—unpaid, ridiculed, and humiliated. Still, for Ariadne, he endured it all. Yet, every man has his breaking point. One day, Lucas reached his. And he left. For six years, he disappeared without a trace. It was almost as if he had vanished from the face of the earth. Ariadne waited until she couldn’t wait any longer. She was about to marry another. But then, Lucas returned. And this time, he was different. He was no longer the timid young boy she knew. Confidence radiated from him, as if he now sat at the top of the world. Lucas has sworn never to let Ariadne cry or suffer again. For she was his woman, the very reason he was still alive. The only reason he pushed through all he faced during those six years he vanished. She was there for him when the whole world was against him, and now he would be there for her! He would cherish and protect her. Even if it meant going against the whole world, for her, he’d gladly do it. If the world couldn't have angels, then for her, he would become the devil!

Chapter 1
Today was the long-awaited wedding of Seth Miller, the heir of the prestigious Miller family, and Ariadne Brook, a third-generation descendant of the Brook family. At this moment, it was time for the pivotal question."If anyone objects to this union, please speak now or forever hold your peace!" the officiant, the bishop of St. Augustine cathedral, announced, his emotionless gaze sweeping across the room.Instantly, the cathedral went silent as if a graveyard. Even the piano playing in the background stopped. The attendees exchanged silent glances before turning back to the bishop. No one opened his or her mouth, let alone made a sound. Some of the attendees even stopped breathing normally, afraid that they might mistakenly make a sound and the bishop would assume they had something to say. The Miller family was, after all, a powerful and influential family that had been around for over a century and was ranked second only to the top five families. Only someone with a death wish w

Upon hearing Atticus' decision, the faces of the Brooks lit up with excitement.Yes, that's right!That's our indomitable Patriarch!Linda excitedly grabbed Ariadne's arm. "Ariadne, why are you just standing there? Quickly bow and thank your grandpa for giving you a chance to fix this. Then take that loser, apologize, and get a divorce.""What?" Ariadne was already shocked by her grandpa's decision, but hearing her mom push her to thank him and go through with it stunned her even more. She stared at her mother as if she were a stranger."Mom, what are you saying?" she asked, disbelief in her voice. "Lucas did nothing wrong. Why should he apologize to Seth and the Millers? And he’s done nothing wrong to me, why should I divorce him?""Ariadne, how can you ask those questions? Our family is on the brink of ruin, all because of that loser. How can you question why he should apologize? "And what do you mean he's done nothing wrong to you? He crashed your wedding, thereby dragging us into

At the Brooks' villa…In the conference room…The room was in chaos, mirroring the uproar that had taken place at the Millers'. The Brooks were shouting at the top of their lungs, all their anger directed at Ariadne and Lucas.Seated in the seat of honor, Atticus Brook watched with a cold expression. He made no attempt to stop the commotion, choosing instead to watch calmly. Although irritated by their behavior, which resembled that of market women, he knew it was better to let them release their pent-up anger and frustration rather than suppress it as bottling it up could have dangerous consequences."My Lord!"Suddenly, a loud, frantic shout rang out.The conference room door burst open, and a man in a crisp butler’s uniform rushed inside, his face pale.Instantly, the room fell silent. Every eye turned to the butler. One glance at him was all it took for the Brooks to tense up, a single thought racing through their minds: Had the Millers made their move?"Silas, you're the butle

Soon, news of what transpired between Lucas, Ariadne, the Brooks, and the Millers spread throughout the county like wildfire. Everyone on the street was discussing it.

Rumors flew about their daughter — the so-called infamous county’s belle — secretly being involved with a man everyone labeled a loser.It was a complete disgrace!The Brooks' reputation had crumbled just as much as the Millers’.What was supposed to be a grand and joyous wedding had devolved into a humiliating spectacle for both families!At the Millers' villa...In the conference room, the whole place was

The priest's expression was calm as he stared at the crowd, waiting for someone to step forward and verify the document for themselves. But even after waiting for five minutes, no one stepped forward.Everyone just silently gaped at him."Perhaps, they need time to take it in." With that thought, the priest decided to wait another five minutes. But even after then, no one still stepped forward. No one even say a word. The whole cathedral remained silent.The priest couldn't help but frown. He had other matters to attend to. He couldn't possibly stay here forever."It seems no one doubts you, Father. Thank you for coming," Lucas suddenly said, a smirk dancing at the corners of his mouth."In that case, I'll take my leave now," the priest replied softly. His stern expression eased into a small, warm smile as he turned to Lucas and Ariadne. "These belong to you two. I wish you both a happy married life." He handed them the rings and marriage certificate.Then, he bowed to the bishop on

"What?""Did Ariadne just say they are really married?"The cathedral erupted into a frenzy. Lucas was a loser so his words were always doubted, but could the same be said for Ariadne? If she said it, didn’t that mean it was true? They all exchanged silent glances. This was taking another turn!"Ariadne, what are you talking about? When did you marry that loser? Stop joining in his lies!" Linda snapped angrily.Ariadne lowered her gaze, her lips trembling. She looked like a child caught doing something wrong. "Mom," she nibbled on her lower lip, "you and the rest of the family had always been against Lucas. This always hurt him and made him scared that one day I might just listen to you all and leave him. "To assure him I would never do that, I asked him to marry me. We secretly met a priest, and he wed us. To keep it from you, we pleaded with the priest to hold on to our rings and marriage certificate." She paused, her eyes flickering over her family's faces. "This was why I alway

Lucas's face was dark as he reached into his pants and brought out a button phone. He calmly navigated to the sound recorder and pressed it. There were two recordings."My speaker is too low. It will be hard to hear the recordings. Can I make use of your mic to enhance the sound?" Lucas asked, looking up at the bishop."Sure." The bishop stretched the mic to him. He just wanted to see how this would end!Meanwhile, at Lucas's statement, Linda, Vera, and Kelvin tensed up. Voice recordings? He has voice recordings? They exchanged glances with one another.One could clearly see the fear in them.Lucas calmly took the mic from the bishop. He put it to his phone's speaker and played the first voice recording. The first voice that came through the speakers was Linda's."Lucas, we have a pressing need. Can you help us with two hundred thousand?" she said. Her voice was so sweet that one would argue if it was really her.But then, her voice couldn't be mistaken.The next voice was Lucas's. He

BOOM!Lucas's statement was like a bomb going off in everyone's hearts. They inhaled sharply. Even the so-called expressionless bishop couldn't help but frown and subtly glance at Seth. If Lucas and Ariadne were truly married, then it was against the law to have her marry Seth since they were not divorced. In other words, it was impossible to continue the wedding!"What nonsense!"After a momentary stunned silence, a hostile voice rang out, followed by the appearance of a woman.She looked to be in her late forties, clad in luxurious apparel from head to toe. Despite it being morning with the sun already in the sky, the glow emanating from her body was still blatantly visible to the naked eye.If Seth was a human peacock because of his arrogance, then she was undoubtedly a human peacock because of her ostentatious clothing. She exuded the air of someone flaunting their magnificence.Her name was Linda Pierce, and she was Ariadne's mother.Standing in front of Lucas, she glared at him
