His wedding is coming up. We’re thrilled that Madison, a gorgeous, affluent girl, is his wife. Not plain rural girl Hailey. The prominent beauty shop and spa resort owner Victoria Hayes brags about her prospective daughter-in-law to her friends.
Only after returning from work did Ethan hear these words. CFO of his mother’s firm. Victoria Hayes happily presented her grown son to Sophia, her lifelong friend who had traveled overseas to attend her godson’s wedding. Sophia was impressed with Ethan’s growth. Young, tall, and healthy.
Study abroad worked, and the company was booming. They just relocated to Bel Air with their mother. The freshly created luxurious apartment complex is exclusively for businesspeople and politicians.
Charles Bennett, a prominent investor, helped Victoria Hayes succeed. She does it for her daughter Madison, even if looks are not her priority. Many young guys are drawn to her sharp, well-groomed looks.
Madison notices Ethan during a friend’s birthday celebration.
She is so enticing that Ethan forgets about Hailey, whom he met by happenstance in a small village a few months earlier. That day, his buddy Dylan, the group’s leader, graduates from college at a magnificent country mansion.
After drinking, the gang goes to a country club where Dylan laughs about Ethan and Hailey, his new buddy. The group felt a rural girl who just cleaned toilets was odd. Dylan scowled and proposed this.
Prank this girl so she knows her place and doesn’t get into things. Ask her to dance, Ethan. Show her you care, treat her like a princess, and go.
We’ll fool this gullible rural bumpkin. Ethan concurred. For fun, why not create something like that?
“Shall I ask you to dance?” Ethan asked the girl as the slow music began. ”
She nodded, holding her breath. She stared up at him with wide eyes, practically makeup-free, and seductive lips, as if wanting his kiss. What’s your name? ” Ethan asked.
“My name’s Hailey,” she said. My name is Ethan. Want to see me again? He proposed.
“Yes, of course,” Hailey said confidently. They spoke and danced all night, looking like close friends who had fallen in love at first sight.
After the romantic evening, Ethan asked her out.
Hailey was thrilled and agreed to see him the following day.
Weekend sped quickly, and Ethan went into the city. He contemplated his new feelings on the drive home.
Considering spending the next weekend with Hailey, he understood it was unlikely. Her mother established a new beauty parlor, which was busy.
He met Madison, his future wife, soon after.
Ethan was planning his wedding and picking a suit from a fancy store. He hesitated to choose, but the saleswoman said any outfit would suit him. Madison scrutinized wedding clothes at the bridal salon.
She said, “This is too exquisite, modest, and unsuitable for my status. However, this dress is exquisite, formal, and romantic. Two days from now, Ethan and Madison will become husband and wife.
The marriage registration will be in the local courthouse, and the reception will be in a posh suburb outside the city. Wedding preparations overshadowed summer’s end.
Now, the newlyweds, frightened like kids before an exam, come before the court clerk to register their marriage.
Guest cheered as the young couple entered a fancy limousine. Ethan lost track of his prior romance with Hailey as he worried and planned. Hailey never forgot him.
After accidentally discovering about their wedding, she was devastated but found the fortitude to go to court. Seeing him with his new wife hurt her so much she raced away, disregarding others. The wedding was stunning.
The compliments, music, jokes, and fun continued late. The bride’s father, Charles Bennett, gave them their apartment keys, which was the most essential present. She dreamed of being alone with Ethan.
“Let’s get away from everyone,” Ethan smiled. Madison said, “Come on,” confidently. They were surprised when they entered their first wedding night bedroom.
At Ethan’s request, the room was beautifully adorned, beyond expectations. “I have another surprise for you,” Ethan smiled, pulling an envelope with tickets and a two-person travel certificate from his jacket pocket. He planned their honeymoon as a present for Madison.
He accepted the present with admiration, “You’re just my magician.” “Not yet, but I’ll soon become a real magician for you,” Ethan grinned curiously. He will soon concoct a true fairy tale for her.
He didn’t know why he planned this surprise, but he knew Madison would be thrilled. Lanterns and candles lined the dormitory balcony. After entering the balcony, Ethan saw the garlands were twisted.
While fixing them, the guy lost his equilibrium and fell from the third storey. Madison gasped as a loud thud resonated through the courtyard. She hurried to the balcony and found Ethan unmoving on the street, covered in blood.
Panic and terror dominated the next minutes. His screams came suddenly. His cry drew physicians, ambulances, and visitors.
Madison saw horror, astonished faces, stretchers, and surgery in a blur. She finally questioned the doctor about Ethan after a two-hour procedure. “Will he survive? She nervously asked.
Young body will live. The doctor hesitated. She shouted when she felt danger.
What happened? The doctor’s reply shocked. Ethan’s fractured spine prevents him from walking. With terror, she understood it wasn’t a nightmare but reality.
Any hope of recovery? She asked trembling. The doctor said there’s always a possibility, but it’s tiny for him.
“I’ll do my best, but I’m not promising a miracle,” he said.
Her life fell apart as she left the hospital. She cried when she phoned her father, Charles Bennett. “What do I do, Dad? No way I can take this.”
I’m accustomed to a strong masculine shoulder; she’s a disaster. Hopelessness consumes her. Dad, listen, my youth and beauty will be wasted.”
She kept crying on the phone without letting her father speak. My daughter, relax. Despite your struggles, you chose this.
The finest physicians will be found; everything will be OK. Ethan left the hospital a month later, but his sadness persisted. Though he opposed the wheelchair, he knew he would have to take it.
She avoided her spouse since he reminded her of her lost existence. Her buddy Chloe recommended a business function to relax. Are you coming, Maddie? ” Chloe asked.
“But you know my situation, friend,” she said. “Yes, I know, everything’s fine, but we need to get our minds off our problems.” “Come”, Chloe said.
She braced herself, couldn’t resist the urge, didn’t think, gathered her belongings, and attempted to escape Ethan without his knowing. Unfortunately, he was already looking at her. “Where are you going? He spoke hoarsely.
I’ll be back soon,” she snapped at her husband, feeling his fists clench in pain and a tear roll down his cheek. He came home less often. He returned home later.
Rumors circulated about her new lover. She became serious with Ethan one day. She said, “I’m so sorry it turned out this way.”
Just be honest: you have a handicap, and I want a full life. I’m divorcing you. My dad purchased the flat, so I’ll retain it.
You and your mom have a lovely apartment. Ethan couldn’t believe his ears. He left Madison and muttered, “Go.”
Days later, his ex-girlfriend evicted him from the residence. “Everything will be okay, don’t worry,” his mother reassured him. Ethan heard these statements as hollow and contemptuous.
Mom, what could go wrong? Disabled, nobody needs me. He struggled to say, I don’t want to live anymore, choking back tears.
His mom just grabbed his hand and cried. Even Ethan’s pals were decorations. They visited once and left.
However, their gatherings continued, and Madison and her partner became famous. They were stars at every gathering, and everyone spoke about it. Once, all of Ethan’s buddies visited the town where they partied at the country dance club.
“This is so fun. Madison joked with her new admirer, “These country beauties and handsome boys are funny like in a comedy.” She didn’t realize that Hailey, whom Ethan knew, had been looking at her for a long.
Hailey approached the happy kids with eagerness.
“Where’s Ethan? She nervously asked. The lads seemed bewildered and unsure what to say.
Madison confidently shouted, “Ethan’s gone. Unfortunately, we have an invalid.”
Hailey raged at Madison. Rage welled within like a volcano. So why are you here? She shouted.
Instead of dancing at the disco, be with your hubby. You’re useless. Hailey then cried, left the club, and traveled to the city the following day.
She located Victoria Hayes’s address without knowing what she was searching for. The hostess finally answered her persistent knock. “What are you seeking? She snapped.
“May I see Ethan? Hailey inquired, unaffected by Victoria Hayes’s sternness. “Who is he? Rounding the turn, Victoria Hayes inquired. “It’s that same Hailey from the country,” she said smiling.
Did you come here to brag about my son? I forbid it. I adore him; his issues are mine, Victoria Hayes said. Hailey replied honestly.
“I’m willing to help you.” Ethan screamed in terror. Without intervening, Victoria Hayes waved her hand.
Ethan was appalled: “Why did you let her in?” She’s relishing my suffering since I left her. Why are you here? He asked Hailey. The girl said, “To get revenge.”
“Since you left me, you deserved this,” she responded, resisting the provocation. Ethan wanted to start a fight after hearing her remarks, so he accused her. Hailey stayed calm and eager to assist despite all challenges.
Ethan attempted to irritate Hailey, but she stayed cool. “Don’t talk about what you don’t know,” she remarked calmly. Shocked, Ethan.
Your pride comes from where? I married someone else after leaving you. Hailey answered, “I can’t remain indifferent when you’re suffering.” She couldn’t sleep in the cramped room at night.
A rustling sand sound roused her from her sleeplessness. Listening closer, she realized it came from Ethan’s room.
He tore off the blanket, raged like he’d been shocked, and went to Ethan.
He was churning a hazy liquid close to floor papers. Hailey grasped it immediately. Hailey prevented Ethan from committing suicide at the last minute.
He felt her words and gained hope. She urged him to workout and use specific equipment to beat the sickness. Ethan pledged to come back stronger.
Victoria Hayes lavished her kid with top-notch gear and a skilled trainer.
When the initial workouts hurt, the guy stopped training and dismissed the trainer. Hailey wondered where she found the strength to get Ethan to workout again.
She kept fighting for him despite his numerous failures. “Poor thing, she has to endure so much,” Victoria Hayes said. Hailey kept going, wanting to do whatever for her lover.
Ethan had a real guardian angel in Hailey. She loved him unconditionally and fought for him every day.
Ethan gained confidence and strength from her help.
The physicians were impressed with Ethan’s health and cheerfulness. Ethan was afraid and anxious while Hailey was gone for a few days.
He missed her fiercely, and every day seemed like an eternity.
Finally, Hailey returned, and they felt compassionate and caring again. Ethan looked at this powerful, resolute lady with thanks and affection.
Hailey and Ethan were united by love and care, which enabled them overcome any obstacles.
They agreed to travel the long, arduous rehabilitation path together. Ethan and Hailey went for a park stroll on a nice, bright Saturday.
They felt like children playing as they flung the reddish-yellow leaves into the air.
Hailey felt unwell and her grin became pallid. Euthan panicked. “What’s wrong, Hayley? You’re healthy, right? ”
Hailey told him everything will be OK.
Hailey’s announcement of her pregnancy made Ethan go from elation to terror. He suddenly sprang up, grasping his wheelchair handlebars.
Hailey held him warmly and reassured him.
Ethan’s expression showed delight, worry, and confidence that he and Hailey would conquer any obstacles.
