After the Ferguson family went bankrupt, I spent money to secure a marriage agreement with Simon, the former heir of the family whom I had secretly admired for years. "Marry me, and I can help your family regain its former glory," I said. Two years into the marriage, Simon went from being grudgingly accepting to gradually falling in love with me. I had thought we could build a happy life together, but not long after, he was involved in a car accident and fell into a vegetative state. Though grief-stricken, I never left his side and took care of him tirelessly. Four years later, the doctor informed me that he had finally come to consciousness. But when I rushed into the ward excitedly, I saw Simon holding Hadley, his childhood sweetheart, and calling her name affectionately.
