The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family by Adela

Upon arriving at Silverwing Hospital, Douglas could be seen lying on one of the beds in the ward, covered in wounds and bruises. There was a cast on his right leg as well, and he looked miserable. Charlie couldn't help but sympathize. This fully grown man had been cheated on, had his heart broken, and was now covered in wounds. 6

Douglas seemed to be choking on his tears. "That b* tch didn't just break up with me, she wanted me to lose absolutely everything!
