Once upon a time, I was stuck in a world of plenty and expectation, where family duties came before love. My strict rules ruled my life and told me what to do, including picking a mate.
But I wanted to be free. A bad day came when I was walking around the city and met Ethan, a nice cleaner. I liked how kind he was and how calm he was.
As a last-ditch effort to get away from my dad, I made up a fake marriage proposal to Ethan. He agreed, which surprised me, and we had a simple service to say our vows.
Ethan taught me the value of being simple and honest as we started our new life together. My dad got mad when we got together and asked to meet Ethan.
Their meeting was very explosive. Ethan didn’t back down and told me a shocking truth: his father, Andrew, had been my dad’s business partner but had been cheated and left with nothing.
As Ethan told the story of his family, my dad’s world fell apart. He broke down on his knees and begged for forgiveness because of all the mistakes he had made in the past.
After the incident, my dad changed. Having said sorry to Ethan and Andrew, Ethan’s father, the two men began to mend old scars.
It hit me that my disobedience had led me to true love and forgiveness when our families got together. Something very strange brought Ethan and I together, and our friendship has changed everything.
We learned to forgive each other, which shows that it’s never too late to make things right and start over. He learned that family and love are more important than money and power.
Ethan and I are still building our life together based on honesty, respect, and the knowledge that sometimes the strangest decisions have the best outcomes.
