Elena is a simple maid in the Montefalco mansion. She is hardworking and kind, but her family is in debt due to her mother’s illness.

One day, Donya summoned her.
“Elena, I want you to marry my son Liam,” Donya said seriously. “I know you heard that he is disabled. But if you take care of him, I will give you a 40-million pesos villa.”

Elena was surprised. She had not expected such an offer. But because of the hardships of life and the love for her family, she agreed—even if Liam looked crippled or a monster, she would take care of him as a thank you.

The Mysterious Groom

On the wedding day, Elena saw Liam for the first time. He was sitting in a wheelchair, quiet, and wearing thick pants despite the hot weather. He was handsome, but his eyes were sad.

The guests murmured:
“What a pity he is handsome, but his leg is broken.”

“No, his whole body is burned from the bottom up.”

The Wedding Night

When night fell in their bridal suite, Liam sat quietly on the edge of the bed. Liam stood up from his wheelchair. Elena was surprised.

“Can you walk, Sir?”

Liam smiled bitterly.

“Yes, Elena. I’m not crippled. But this is why women don’t like me.”

Liam slowly lifted the hem of his pants to his knees. Elena gasped.

Liam’s legs were covered in deep burn scars. The skin was twisted and it was obvious that he had suffered a lot.

But instead of getting better, Elena’s heart suddenly beat faster. Her eyes widened as she stared at a scratch-shaped scar on Liam’s right leg.

The Sweet Revelation

“Y-You…” Elena said tremblingly. She held her mouth to her ears.
“Are you ‘Batman’?”

Liam was surprised. He looked at Elena deeply.
“You still remember?”

Best Game of the Year

Elena’s memory came back to when she was a child—ten years ago. Their squatters’ area burned down. A boy who was just passing by rushed into the fire to save her from the falling metal. That boy was the one who suffered severe burns before they were separated at the hospital.

Elena knelt in front of Liam and touched his scars. Her tears flowed, not out of pity, but out of sheer thrill and joy.

“Sir… Liam…” Elena cried.
“I’ve been looking for you for a long time. I thought I’d never see you again. These scars… these are the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen because they are proof of your heroism.”

Liam touched Elena’s face.
“Elena, I married you not because I needed someone to take care of me. I married you because you are the only woman I have loved since the day I saved you. The 40 million villa? That doesn’t matter. Because I have found my true treasure—you.”

That night, it wasn’t a “master and servant” standing side by side, but two hearts brought together by destiny.
The scars that Liam was ashamed of were kissed and loved by Elena with all her heart.
