The air hung heavy with anticipation in the Vernor household, a sprawling estate tucked away in the heart of Seoul. 

In the lavish sitting room, Lee Vernor sat hunched over his desk, a weary expression etched into the lines of his face. He had always prided himself on his ability to navigate ршы афьшдн , but even he was unprepared for the storm that had descended upon his family in recent days.

Just twenty-four hours before tragedy had struck in the form of his eldest son, Jisung's, sudden disappearance, his youngest son, Felix, was set to marry into the illustrious Hwang family.  With him, Jisung had taken his heart and his lover, Minho, leaving nothing behind but a shattered engagement and a trail of broken promises.

As Lee Vernor wrestled with the chaos unfolding around him, a sharp rap at the door shattered the silence of the room. He looked up to see Mr. Hwang standing in the doorway, his expression as cold and unforgiving as the steel of a blade.

"Mr. Lee," Mr. Hwang began, his voice dripping with malice. "I trust you are aware of the predicament your son has put us in."

Lee Vernor swallowed hard, his throat dry with fear. "I...I assure you, Mr. Hwang, we are doing everything in our power to locate Jisung and bring him back," he stammered, his voice tinged with desperation.

But Mr. Hwang was not so easily appeased. He stepped forward, his gaze piercing as he leveled a finger at Lee Vernor's chest. "Your son's actions have disgraced my family, tarnished our reputation," he spat. "And for that, there will be consequences."

Lee Vernor's heart sank as he watched Mr. Hwang's menacing figure recede into the shadows of the hallway. He knew that their family's future hung in the balance, that one wrong move could spell disaster for them all.

And yet, as he glanced at the photograph of his sons sitting on his desk, Lee Vernor knew that there was only one choice he could make. For the sake of his family, for the sake of his youngest son, Felix, he would do whatever it took to salvage their future, even if it meant sacrificing everything he held dear.

And so, with a heavy heart and a prayer on his lips, Lee Vernor made the decision that would change their lives forever—a decision to give his blessing for Felix to take Jisung's place as the bride of Hwang Hyunjin.

As the dawn broke over the sprawling city of Seoul, casting its golden light upon the world below, Felix Vernor stood on the threshold of a new beginning, his fate intertwined with that of a family whose secrets ran deeper than he could ever imagine.

And as he took his first steps into the unknown, Felix couldn't help but wonder what the future held in store—for him, for his family, and for the enigmatic stranger who awaited him at the end of the aisle.
