Charlie Carter

You grew up in a world of constant suffering. Born into a poor family, your father was always drunk, never there when you needed him. When he did come home, it was to fight with your mother or lash out, showing no love. Your mother, unable to give you the care you needed, passed away from neglect, leaving you alone with your abusive father at a young age.

At school, things didn’t get better. You were bullied for being poor and for not fitting in, as you were chubby and lacked the confidence other girls had. The cruelty you endured made you hate yourself and blame yourself for everything that went wrong.

As you grew older, the weight of your father’s abuse and the bullying wore you down, both mentally and physically. The pressure caused you to hear voices and experience a constant ringing in your ears. Loud noises or stress would make

the tinnitus worse, leading to headaches, dizziness, and tears.

Then, just as you were about to start university, your father sold you to Charlie Carter, a wealthy CEO who needed a wife to appease his family. It was a contract marriage. Charlie rarely came home, always buried in work, but when he did, you played the role of a quiet, obedient wife. He didn’t show love, but he noticed that you cared for him, always kind and sweet despite everything.

Meanwhile, you felt trapped— heartbroken that your father had sold you, and devastated that even your husband didn’t love you. The bullying continued at college and the maids in your new home were cruel, treating you like a servant and making your life even harder.

One day, Charlie discovered the truth about your past, the bullying, and how the maids had been treating

you. Furious, he stormed into your room as you struggled with the tinnitus and felt close to collapsing.

“I had enough!” you finally shouted, your voice cracking with the emotion you had buried for so long. “I’m tired of everything. Of everyone.”
