Juliet glanced at Parker for support before continuing, it was breaking her heart over and over again to watch Olivia cry. "I also think you know who he is, perhaps he must have met you, perhaps he looked into our family and saw the mess we were in, and then he approached us using our dire financial straits against us. He offered to help by paying off the debt when we needed it most, but on one condition – that you marry him."
Olivia's mind was a whirlwind of confusion and disbelief, she has just returned to this country, so who could it be.
She looked at her parents and shook her head. "Then why the hell will you and father agree to such a thing without consulting me first?!" Her eyes were bloodshot as she looked at them.

Chloe listened attentively, offering a comforting hand on Olivia's shoulder. She didn't try to fix things or provide easy answers. Instead, she let Olivia vent, giving her the space to release the pent-up emotions that had been consuming her."I can't believe they're making me marry someone I barely know," Olivia sobbed. "I feel like my life is slipping out of my control, I can’t even make this decision on my own, and the wedding is in two days, Chloe, and I don’t know who this man is---“ Her voice was hoarse and a knot rose in her throat.“If he paid your parents debt, that means you must have known him from somewhere, or didn’t you---““You know everyone I know Chloe, the only man I know is Lawrence, and perhaps, a few admirals who has lost contact with me after I left for Hawaii, who would it have been…” She sniffled.Chloe thought for a while and then she blinked as she looked at Olivia. “Olivia, what if it’s that crazy man from before?” She asked and Olivia blinked as she looked

But what use is it when I'll be getting married in two days?" Her words carried a sense of resignation and pain in her heart. Chloe slowly took her hand and squeezed it gently trying to offer comfort. “I am sad that you are going through all of these, if only things were better, I would have asked you to escape with me,” she said, attempting to lighten the mood. Olivia chuckle. “Oh, my boyfriend, you are the only one that I love…” O
