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

At the Millers’ villa…Seth stood proudly at the grand entrance, a smug expression plastered on his face. When he first heard that Jack was at the gate and that Ariadne was with him, his heart had nearly leapt out of his chest. The excitement had almost made him bolt straight to the gate to personally welcome them. But he’d restrained himself.He had to keep up appearances. He couldn’t just appear thrilled. He needed to show a bit of anger—let them think he hadn’t forgotten how they disrespected him. He was the heir to the Miller family after all. He needed to act like one.“Mr. Miller, I’ve brought your woman,” Jack called out with a wide grin, strutting forward, his chest puffed out in pride. He motioned to the guards, who immediately stepped forward and roughly threw Ariadne down at Seth’s feet. They treated her like she was nothing more than an animal for slaughter."Ah…" Ariadne gasped, the breath knocked out of her as she hit the ground. Her cheeks were streaked with tears, a

Long after Liam left, the Brooks conference room remained silent as if frozen in time.No one spoke, no one stirred. Brows froze, noses stopped breathing.It was just as if someone pressed pause.Even crypts couldn't be this silent.Minutes dragged on, a suffocating tension blanketing the room, until finally—a sharp gasp pierced the silence. A young man inhaled loudly, breaking the spell.Eyes darted around. Everyone glanced at one another, each pair reflecting the same unspoken fear. Liam’s presence still lingered like a ghost.He was terrifying. Too terrifying!"My Lord, what are we going to do now?" Silas stood up from the floor and approached Atticus, asking cautiously."Bring me my phone!" Atticus ordered, his tone urgent. "Jack shouldn’t have reached the Millers yet—we might still be able to stop him!”“Yes, My Lord!” Silas turned and bolted, practically flying down the hall. In a flash, he returned, phone in hand. "I've already dialed him, My Lord."Atticus grabbed the phone an

It was as if the air froze over. The Brooks exchanged uneasy glances. He came for Ariadne? The stupid, foolish and reckless girl they had just handed over to the Millers? But why? What could a man of his status possibly want with her? Liam didn’t miss the change in atmosphere — how anxious the Brooks suddenly were. His brows furrowed slightly. But he shrugged it off indifferently.He took a sip of his wine and uncrossed his legs. "So, Mr. Brook, where is Ariadne? I want to see her. Bring her to me!"Atticus shifted uncomfortably on his foot. "Um, she... she...," he stammered, swallowing a lump of spittle. He was like a kid caught stealing a candy.At that moment, Liam finally noticed something was wrong. His expression instantly darkened. He set the wine glass down with a sharp clink that echoed ominously across the room, and shot Atticus an icy glare, one so cold it sent a chill down the old man's spine."Old man, where is Ariadne?" he asked, his voice dangerously low. "I hope yo

"My Lord! My Lord!" Barely five minutes after Jack left, a sudden shout rang out in the Brooks' conference room. A guard rushed in, panting heavily, his face pale with urgency. He hurried over to Atticus and fell to his knees. "My Lord, Mr. Liam Fletcher is at the gate!""What?"The room froze, the air growing thick with disbelief. Every eye turned to the guard.Was he serious?Liam Fletcher?The heir to the Fletcher family—one of the top five families in the county, miles above the Millers in status and power?!How could that be possible?They were just a B-list family, what could someone of his status and power possibly want with them?!"Are you sure of what you’re saying?" one of the Brooks barked, his voice edged with warning. He glared fiercely at the guard. "If this is some kind of prank, I swear, the consequences will be beyond what you can handle!""I swear this on my mother's head!" the guard declared firmly, his tone serious and unwavering. His gaze shifted to Atticus. "My

"You see the man you chose to stubbornly be with? The moment trouble came knocking—the same trouble he caused—he turned his back and ran, leaving you to deal with everything alone. How can such a coward, such a loser, be what you truly want for yourself?" Watching Lucas disappear from view, Linda turned to Ariadne and chided, her arms crossed defiantly."He didn’t run away. Lucas is no coward!" Ariadne shouted through her tears, glaring at her mother. Why did she always have to stand in the way of her happiness?What really did Lucas do to her?!Was it such a crime to be poor?!"My Lucas may be poor, but he is not a coward! Has never been!" she added, her expression brimming with confidence."Hmph!" Linda scoffed, her tone laced with disdain. "You honestly think he left to resolve the situation? He, a mere loser? If you really think that, then you’re dumber than I thought! I’m so ashamed on your behalf!" She paced the room, unable to contain the frustration bubbling inside her.After

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.

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
