FORCED TO MARRY A “FAT AND UGLY” DON TO SAVE THE FAMILY — BUT ON THE WEDDING NIGHT, SHE DISCOVERS THAT THIS MAN AND HIS “POOR” FRIEND ARE ALONE

Celestine cries as she hugs her boyfriend, Kian. Kian is just a simple driver at Celestine’s parents’ mansion. Kian is handsome, strong, and kind, but he is just poor.

“Kian, forgive me,” Celestine sobs. “I have to marry Don Greg. If I don’t, Papa will go to jail for debt. We will lose our house.”

Kian touches Celestine’s face. Her eyes are sad.

“Do you love him, Celestine?” Kian asks.

“No!” the girl immediately answers. “I only love you. That will never change. But I have no choice. I have to be a martyr for my family.”

Kian kissed Celestine’s forehead. “Then, go ahead with the marriage. Just trust me.”

As painful as it was, Celestine broke up with Kian to marry the mysterious billionaire.

Wedding Day.

Don Greg was famous not because of his wealth, but because of his looks. According to rumors, he weighed 300 pounds, had a scarred face, and was always angry.

When the church door opened, Celestine saw her future husband at the altar.

Don Greg was standing there. The rumors were true. His stomach was so big, his tuxedo was almost bursting. His face was swollen and a little crooked. He was having a hard time breathing.

The guests murmured.

“Too bad, Celestine really only wants money.”

“She’s so beautiful, she’s going to the beast.”

Celestine walked down the aisle as if she was about to be executed. She could hear nothing but her heartbeat screaming Kian’s name.

When the “I Do” was exchanged, Celestine closed her eyes. It was over. She was now married to the man she didn’t love.

On the night of the Reception, they were taken to the Presidential Suite of the hotel.

Celestine trembled in fear. She was now in the same room as Don Greg.

Don Greg was sitting on the edge of the bed, his back turned.

“Celestine,” Don Greg’s voice. It was deep and raspy. “I know you hate me. I know you were just forced to.”

Celestine approached. Even though she didn’t love her husband, she was raised with respect.

“Don Greg,” Celestine said firmly. “I will fulfill my duty as your husband. I will take care of you. But… I want to be faithful to you.”

“What’s that?”

“I can’t give my heart to you,” Celestine admitted as tears flowed down her face. “I love someone else. A simple driver. Kian. He’s all it contains. I married you for my family, but my love… has been left to him.”

Celestine expected Don Greg to be angry. That he would slap her or throw her out.

But suddenly… Don Greg laughed.

His laugh wasn’t harsh. It was familiar. Very familiar.

“Really?” the man asked. The voice suddenly became clear and gentle. “Even if Kian is just poor? Even if he’s just a driver?”

Celestine was stunned. “K-Kian?”

Don Greg stood up. He grabbed her neck and pulled off a thin silicone mask.

ZZZIIIP.

He removed the mask from his face. He took off the body suit that made his face look fat.

Under the disguise, a tall, handsome man emerged, with the look that everyone dreams of.

It was Kian.

Celestine’s jaw dropped. “Kian?! How could you… You’re Don Greg?!”

Kian smiled and approached his wife.

“My real name is Gregory Kian Montecillo,” he explained. “I’m the sole heir to the Montecillo Group. I pretended to be a driver called ‘Kian’ to find a woman who would love me not because of my wealth.”

He held Celestine’s hand.

“And I pretended to be ‘Don Greg’, fat and ugly, to test how much you could sacrifice for your family, and if you could be true to your feelings.”

“When you said you still loved me even though your husband was a billionaire… that’s when I knew it was really you.”

Celestine cried and beat Kian’s chest. “You’re so mean! You’ve made me so nervous! I thought I’d be sad forever!”

Kian hugged her tightly.

“You won’t be sad anymore, my love. Your family’s debt has been paid. And now, you’re with the man you love, who has a billion-dollar bonus.”

Kian kissed Celestine.

That night, the world learned that the “Beast” Celestine married was actually the “Prince Charming” she had loved for so long. They proved that true love is seen in the heart, not with the eyes—and sometimes, fate has a nice surprise for those who know how to love truly.
