Sunnyade

On the wedding night,  Elena Cross  was framed by her stepmother, forcing her to marry  Damian Blackwell , a disfigured and disabled man.

Luckily, Elena managed to escape, but little did she know that, in time, she would fall for the man she was supposed to marry.

Damian pretended to be a poor man, but he never expected to fall head over heels for Elena. Their lives continued until one day, Elena uncovered a shocking secret about her boyfriend.

“How could a man with no money have billions in assets?” Elena asked, her voice filled with disbelief.

 Mr. Blackwell  hesitated, unsure of how to respond. Elena’s face twisted in anger, “They said you couldn’t walk, but you seem strong enough to run a marathon.” Yet, he remained silent. Elena was furious, “They also claimed you only had a few years to live. What about now?”

Finally, Damian spoke up, “Darling, it’s all a misunderstanding. Please, calm down. Think about the baby.”

Elena shouted, “ Damian Blackwell !” In an instant, Mr. Blackwell knelt before her.

You'll understand when the time comes. Just know that I have no ill intentions toward you—I genuinely want you as my daughter."

There was an openness in his voice, and despite her usual skepticism, Elena couldn't detect any deceit.

"Actually, Miss Cross, this title of being my nominal daughter could benefit you greatly," Patrick continued. "We are simply helping each other. And I noticed earlier that your brother doesn't seem to be in good health. I can arrange for him to receive the best medical care."

Elena hesitated for a moment before a slow smile spread across her lips. "Alright. Consider it a deal."

If nothing else, the thought of seeing Theodore, Vivian, and Selena Cross's faces when they found out was more than enough to satisfy her.

Patrick grinned. "Miss Cross, I appreciate decisiveness. You've made a wise choice."

He then added, "I'll arrange for the formal announcement soon."

Elena nodded. "That sounds good to me."
