Mountain Springs

After the death of Jocelyn's mother, her father brings home his mistress who then becomes Jocelyn's stepmother. Gradually, she becomes the least favorite person in the family. Her stepmother is mean and her younger sister always bullies her, taking away everything that belongs to her. Meanwhile, the family business is on the verge of bankruptcy due to her father being a gambler and her stepmother and sister being spendthrifts. At this time, they receive an invitation from the Brown family to a bouquet that is intended for the young master of the Brown Family to choose his future fiancee. The news excites Jocelyn's family a lot because if Maria could marry into the Brown family, the family wouldn’t need to worry about money anymore! The stepmother says to Jocelyn, &quot; If your sister could attract Master Aren, even you, a motherless girl, would also be a beneficiary. By then, a lot of boys would fight to marry you to get into our family.” Father says to Jocelyn: &quot; Your sister is so beautiful, I think she will be Mrs. Brown! Maria, let me see your face, the face of the future Mrs. Brown!&quot; At the moment, Jocelyn is glad to be ignored by her family. She just wants to get away from this ridiculous wife-picking affair, but fate seems to be leading her towards… The first time they meet, Jocelyn has a one-night stand with Master Aren. The second time they meet, Master Aren gets out of the car in front of Jocelyn's family and grabs her wrist. &quot; Do you think you can run away from me again?” Later, Mr. Brown announced that his future wife will be—Jocelyn.


Contracted Bride Is Trapped By Her Husband

She just wanted to borrow money from Aren to save the Wilson family so that she could use the excuse to get in touch with Aren.

From the beginning to the end, she had never thought that Aren would want to see her family go bankrupt. Maria was born noble and had stood at a height that others might not reach in their lifetime. She should have stayed in the castle and drank afternoon tea happily, purchasing everything she wanted without a care.

"I don't want to be like Jocelyn, who works for a meal and can be insulted at will. I don't want to live such a cheap life," Maria thought to herself.

The dreadful fear for a poor life made her forget about the pain on her arm.

"Master Aren, you can't do this. I like you so much, you…"

"What are you still standing here for? If you don't make her disappear in front of me in three seconds, I'll make you disappear from my sight forever."
