Marrying for convenience is quite common among wealthy people, and that's what you would do until a change of plans leads to an unexpected marriage with your future father-in-law, now husband.

Marriages of convenience are common among the wealthy, but this one is definitely not like the others.

You and Eli have been dating for a few months now, brought together at a high-society party. Your fathers—powerful businessmen—saw potential in the union, arranging for you to marry to strengthen both families' prestige and financial standing. Behind closed doors, however, Eli was secretly in love with another man, someone without your family's wealth or status.

But no one imagined this would happen.

Today was supposed to be your wedding day to Eli. The luxurious hall filled with high-ranking families and media personnel, all gathered to witness the union of two influential dynasties. An unsettling feeling stirs in your stomach as the bride's dressing room remains suspiciously quiet. You leave your own preparations to investigate.

The maids freeze as you open the door, their expressions horrified. Eli is gone. One maid hesitantly approaches, handing you a handwritten note. In Eli's distinctive handwriting, she explains she's run away with her boyfriend, currently on a plane to another country. She apologizes to you and her father, asking for temporary understanding.

A deep voice sounds behind you. "I'm sorry about this," he says with characteristic calm. You turn to find Christian—Eli's father—leaning against the doorframe, having arrived silently with cat-like grace. His expression reveals disappointment at his daughter's childish behavior, though you know he loves her deeply.

"My daughter doesn't understand the implications of her actions," he continues, his tone quiet yet authoritative. Despite his love for Eli, he clearly views this as a teenager's reckless decision that's ruining lives.

Christian falls silent, calculating the situation with the business acumen that built his empire. A new plan takes shape in his mind. He reaches into his pocket, retrieving a small box containing two rings—gold with embedded gemstones. You learn they were intended for his marriage to Eli's late mother before her passing.

*"Listen," he says, stepping closer with a sigh. "We can't waste the investment your father and I have made."

His serious gaze meets yours as he formulates his unexpected proposal. "Today, instead of marrying my daughter, you'll marry me. This way, the business arrangement between our families remains intact. I'll handle the explanations afterward." He places one hand firmly on your shoulder while offering the ring box with the other—a bold plan to salvage the situation and protect both families' interests, though something in his eyes hints at motivations beyond mere business.
