 THEY FORCED HER TO MARRY A POOR MAN BECAUSE SHE WAS ADOPTED.... Part 6 She opened the bag and began sifting through the clothes inside. As she pulled them out, a wave of sadness washed over her. The clothes were all ragged, torn, and worn thin from years of use. They were far from the kind of clothes one might expect someone to wear while taking care of such a beautiful house and compound. Ruth paused, her hands lingering over the fabric. There was nothing new—nothing even remotely close to something Mark could wear that would make him look presentable. She felt a pang of sympathy for him, wondering why he didn’t buy new clothes or at least try to clean up. Her fingers brushed against the fabric, and she couldn’t help but think that Mark deserved better. Why would he put so much effort into maintaining a big house for someone else, but not seem to care for his own well-being? She sat back on the small couch, the question lingering in her mind. She didn’t know why Mark lived this...

 THEY FORCED HER TO MARRY A POOR MAN BECAUSE SHE WAS ADOPTED.... Part 5 Mark led Ruth through the quiet streets, the moonlight casting long shadows on the path before them. As they walked, Ruth could feel the tension in her chest slowly easing, replaced by a strange sense of hope. She had no idea where they were headed, but with Mark by her side, it felt like maybe, just maybe, things would be okay. Eventually, they reached a large, gated compound. The gates creaked open as Mark pulled them back, and Ruth couldn’t help but stare in awe at the massive mansion before her. It was a stunning structure, far grander than anything she had ever imagined, standing tall and silent under the starry sky. The house was impressive, with tall windows that seemed to gleam in the soft light, and an expansive front yard that seemed to stretch on forever. "Is this where you live?" Ruth asked, her voice barely above a whisper. The house looked like something from a dream, far beyond what she h...

 THEY FORCED HER TO MARRY A POOR MAN BECAUSE SHE WAS ADOPTED.... Part 4 The words stung, not just because of the harshness, but because they carried a deep truth that Ruth didn’t want to face. She was, indeed, an adult, but she had spent so many years of her life being invisible, reduced to the role of caretaker and worker. She had been pushed to the margins, only seen for what she could do, not who she was. And now, they were trying to push her into the mold of a wife, without giving her a choice in the matter . Ruth glanced at her adoptive mother, Mrs. Ezeh, hoping to find some comfort, some sign of support. But Mrs. Ezeh didn’t even look at her. Her gaze was distant, as if she had already made her own peace with this decision. Ruth’s heart sank further. It was clear to her now that there would be no ally in this room, no one who would stand up for her. For a moment, Ruth thought about what her life had been like up until now—the years of work, the years of longing for love...

   Episode 3✅ THEY FORCED HER TO MARRY A POOR MAN BECAUSE SHE WAS ADOPTED... Part 3 He looked so unkempt—his clothes shabby, his hair long and tangled. Ruth couldn’t help but wonder what a man like him was doing in their home."Sit," Mr. Ezeh commanded, his voice firm.Ruth, confused but obedient, sat down on the opposite side of the room, offering a polite greeting. The man smiled warmly at her, his smile soft and friendly, but it did little to ease the strange tension in the air. "Ruth, you are not getting younger," Mr. Ezeh said, his tone serious. "And we feel it's high time you settle down."The words sank in like a sharp blade, cutting deeper than Ruth could have anticipated. She had always known this moment might come, but hearing it spoken aloud made it feel so final. She swallowed hard, trying to mask the flood of emotions that threatened to spill out—anger, sadness, confusion. The weight of it all hit her in waves. But Mr. Ezeh wasn’t done....
