THE MILLIONAIRE'S SON MARRIED THE CLEANER... BUT HIS FATHER WAS SHOCKED WHEN HE SAW HIM...
Ethan Parker sat in the grand dining room of the Parker mansion, the heavy crystal chandelier casting an opulent glow over the polished mahogany table. Across from him, his father, Richard Parker, read the morning paper, barely acknowledging Ethan’s presence. This was a routine Ethan had grown all too familiar with-stiff conversations, empty pleasantries, and the suffocating sense of duty that filled every corner of his life.
“Don’t forget about the gala tonight,” Richard said, his voice stern without ever looking up. “It’s important you make an appearance. The Morgans will be there, and I expect you to be on your best behavior.”
Ethan nodded, but inside, a wave of frustration swelled. The Morgans. The family his father had long decided Ethan would marry into, forging yet another business alliance. For as long as Ethan could remember, his future had been mapped out for him-run the family business, marry into the right family, and maintain the Parker legacy. Yet none of it felt like his own life. None of it felt real.
