"Nobody wants to be with a cripple man on their first night. Not even a woman like you!" Due to family's pressure, Alyssa, a seemingly dumb and unattractive girl, was forced to marry to a cripple and impotent man. Her own mother pushed her into the trap of a devil from which she could never get away of. In despair, she was waiting on her wedding night to see how her future husband looked like. But unfortunately, a handsome man came into her room and pressed her into the bed. "Do you really want to be with my cripple brother on your wedding night, my dear sister-in-law?" She was shocked but soon discovered that, the man was her husband's brother. But surprisingly, when the whole city's people were pointing at her, that man came in front of her, blocking at the people from her. "I want to see who dares to bully my woman!" She was shocked with her eyes wide open. "Aren't you my brother-in-law?" The man smirked, looking at her beautiful face. "Oh wife, I am tired of acting now. Why don't we go to our bedroom and celebrate our wedding."
Alyssa sat in front of the vanity mirror and waited for the makeup artist to apply her makeup. Her eyes were lifeless and mind was blank.
Suddenly, the door opened, and her mother, Aurora, hurried in. she saw Alyssa's messy hair and her long gray jacket that went with the gray look on her face. She instantly got angry.
"The Lawrences are here. Why have you not changed your clothes?"
Alyssa pushed the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose and looked dumbfounded. "Mom, do you really want me to marry my sister's fiancée?"
Aurora thought she was making a big mistake by doing this, and her face turned white with anxiety. The Lawrences were waiting outside, and a simple mistake could destroy her whole family!
She knelt in front of Alyssa and anxiously said, "Alyssa, I beg you. Your sister deserves better, why don't you just help her!"
Alyssa's hopeless eyes gradually became cold. Althought Aurora was her biological mother, she had favored the children of her father's deceased ex-wife. Aurora knew that Alyssa's sister's finacee was ugly and impotent, but she wanted Alyssa to marry him anyway.
The servant's pleadings could be heard outside the door. "Madam, the Lawrences are upstairs."
Alyssa didn't reach out to help Aurora, and indifferently said, "Get up. I'll go."
This time, she really has lost her all hope to this family.
Opening the door, she saw a group of strange bodyguards standing outside the door.
These were the people the Lawrences sent to pick her up.
She is going to marry someone today without a wedding or a groom.
"Let's go." She said and walked straight downstairs first.
The Lawrences were the richest family in Holston. Their only heir, Emmett, was disfigured and was impotent after he was kidnapped more than ten years ago.
Since then, he had not appeared in public. He was rumored to be brutal and ugly, and no woman sent into his house came out alive.
There is no greater sorrow than heartbreak caused by the betrayal of your family.
Even if he was a devil, it did not matter. Her mother had abandoned her to this monster.
Alyssa was completely alone in this world.
...
Arriving at Emmett's villa, the bodyguard took her into the room, and then they all left.
It wasn't until the sky outside the window was getting dark that the door was opened again.
Alyssa turned her head and saw a tall and strong man walk in from the door.
He closed the door and turned on the lights.
Alyssa outstretched her hand to block the blinding light. Then she raised her head to see the man in front of her.
At a glance, she froze.
It wasn't because the man was ugly and terrifying, but because he was incredibly handsome.
A dark suit wrapped around his tall, muscular body. His pair of long legs strode towards her confidently.
His facial contour was deep and perfect, like an exquisite work of art.
Emmett looked at Alyssa for a few seconds, his eyebrows twisted slightly. "Very ugly."
He said this with a calm tone, no extra emotions could be discerned from his voice.
Alyssa looked back in shock. She didn't care much about him saying she was ugly. She only looked at him with a look of defense and said, "Who are you?"
His ink-colored pupils radiated a harsh light, and his voice was deep. "You don't know who you'll marry?"
As he got close, his brisk breath sent a shiver down Alyssa's spine.
His powerful aura stifled her slightly, but she still straightened her back. "Of course, I know the person I'll marry is named Emmett!"
Emmett heard the words. The sharpness in his eyes gradually converged, and then flashed a trace of clarity. Another woman who believed the rumors, destined to marry an 'ugly and impotent' man.
But compared to other woman, her expression seemed to be too calm. This made Emmett interested in her.
He smiled, acting calm and collected. "So you are my sister-in-law? I am Justin, the cousin of Emmett. I guess at the wedding night, nobody wants to be with such a waste of a man, not even you!"
