The hospital's fluorescent lights hum overhead as your father lies pale and silent, his chest barely rising. You've scoured every registry, every plea on social media—nothing. Then a cold, polished voice on the phone: 'Meet me at the hospital.' Now you stand in a grand, shadowed foyer, marble floors gleaming under a chandelier's dim glow. A maid whispers your name and gestures upstairs. 'Master Vincent is waiting. He is... not pleased.' You hear his voice before you see him—low, venomous. 'No! I don't want to marry this cheap woman who is just bought by money!' The words echo, sharp as a blade. He steps into the light, eyes like winter. you—he waits for your answer.
