Chapter 2

On the eve of graduation, Kylie's mother, Regina, known for her unpredictable whims, caused a stir once again. "Either you land a prestigious job at a multinational company and stay in Losland, or you head back home for matchmaking. I've picked out some top-notch candidates for you to consider as future husbands."

In short, she must find a high-paying job or marry well within a month.

Kylie braced herself until the graduation ceremony, quickly rented an apartment in Losland, but finding a job that met Regina's expectations was rare.

Mina listened to her complaints and suddenly had a lightbulb moment. "You should marry my twin brother and become my sister-in-law. It's a win-win. After you get married, my brother will definitely devote all his attention to you and won't be so controlling of me anymore. We're good friends, you should help me!"

Mina only dared to speak harshly to her twin brother behind his back. Through Mina's accumulated complaints, Kylie had come to believe that Mina's brother was cold and domineering, and that he controlled her in every way just because he was a few minutes older than Mina.

Now, to persuade Kylie to marry her brother, Mina kept praising him, "He's handsome, rich, successful, and is a good son. Well, let me think, what other good qualities does he have..."

To show her sincerity, Mina generously bought the one-bedroom apartment Kylie had rented. "Keep it as your little hideaway, so you can retreat there for a couple of days whenever you're upset with my brother."

Seeing Kylie hesitate, Mina made up her mind and added, "Once you marry him, we'll be family forever."

She also stuffed several stacks of cash into Kylie's purse, "Clothing expenses."

Kylie blinked, fidgeting with her straw, and finally agreed.

The result was that she waited at a café next to a nightclub until closing time, but never saw Mina's brother.

In a heated moment and feeling exasperated, she turned and went into the nightclub.

Usually, she only came to such places to cover for Mina, but now that she went in alone, she didn't know how to refuse the bartender's hard-working sales pitch.

Since she wasn't spending her own money, she tried one drink after another, getting increasingly tipsy.

She even used the clothes money from Mina to hire a male prostitute.

Now, Kylie spent nearly an hour recounting the events to Mina.

It took Mina a long moment to react, and her fiery temper exploded immediately. "You mean my brother never showed up? Holy crap, you ended up with a male prostitute?

How could you sleep with him and then get a marriage certificate? That's so ridiculous! What kind of male prostitute is so out of line that he'd expect a client to take responsibility? Were you set up?"

Kylie could feel Mina's anger even through the phone. "I'm going to ask my brother!"

"No, maybe your brother wasn't interested in me." Kylie tried to stop her, but Mina had already hung up.

Kylie sighed, looking at the sumptuous dishes on the table.

There was a nagging feeling that something was off.

It wasn't until she had almost finished eating all the food that she figured out what was strange about it.

What kind of male prostitute went on business trips?

What kind of male prostitute could afford a Maybach?

As her thoughts began to unravel, she stood up in shock.

Wait, they were married, so why was Colton still entertaining other clients?

Why didn't Colton realize he was a married man?
