But beneath the gilded veneer lies a man tormented by expectations—his mother's relentless demand for a family and his own inability to envision a life beyond his business. The hollow luxury of his existence is shattered one fateful night when an accident nearly claims his life, and a mysterious young woman named Isabella risks everything to save him.

Isabella, a selfless girl from a humble background, is thrust into Julian's world of opulence after a desperate plea from his mother, Cilla Moreau. With the promise of money that could change her family's life, Isabella agrees to marry Julian, a man she barely knows. As she steps into the grandeur of the Moreau estate, Isabella is faced with the enormity of her decision—and the daunting task of breaking through Julian's guarded heart.

Bound by a sense of duty, a promise, and an unexpected act of courage, Julian and Isabella are thrown together in a world neither fully understands.

The Scars We Carry

Lisa turned to Julian with a confident smirk. "Mr. Moreau, do you love Isabella?"

Lisa nodded. "We've got that covered," she said before turning toward the door and shouting, "Bring in the lie detector!"

Julian didn't flinch. "You're wasting my time."

Lisa crossed her arms. "Your time isn't that important." She gestured to the lie detector being set up. "Now, be truthful. Do you want to marry Isabella?"

The lie detector light flashed green.

Lisa frowned. "Do you feel this marriage will fail?"

The light flashed green again.

Lisa squinted at the device. "Green means you're lying."

Julian shook his head. "No, green means truth. Red means lie."

The light flashed green once more.

Lisa narrowed her eyes. "How do you know that?"

Lisa smirked. "So you know how to cheat it?"

Lisa sighed. "Fine. You can go." She turned to Isabella. "Your turn. Get in here."

Isabella sat down. Lisa watched her carefully. "Do you love Julian?"

The light flashed green.

"Do you want to marry Mr. Moreau?"

Another green light.

Rose stepped in next. Lisa studied her. "Let's start. Do you hate Isabella?"

Rose blinked in surprise. I really don't hate her? she thought.

Lisa continued. "Do you love the MII?"

Rose glanced at the lie detector and noticed something off. The red wire is disconnected… She smirked slightly. Wow, Julian Moreau is smart.

Lisa looked unimpressed. "You can leave."

Next, Lucy stepped in. Before sitting, she discreetly used her foot to reconnect the red wire. She smirked. "Now we can start for real."

Lisa arched a brow. "Alright. Do you hate your brother?"

The light flashed red.

Then, she turned toward the camera in the room and grinned as an idea struck her. "Wow, look at this! The news team is using a fake lie detector!"

Lisa gasped. "What? This is real!"

Lisa hesitated but nodded. "Do you hate Isabella?"

"Yes," Lucy said while looking down.

Lisa's mouth fell open. "Wait, why is the green wire off?"

Lucy suddenly slapped Lisa across the face.

Lisa recoiled. "What was that for?!"

Lucy smirked. "That's why I slapped you."
