The Shocking Reason a Wealthy Heiress Begged a Homeless Man to Marry Her
Previously: When Olivia knelt on a busy sidewalk to propose to a disheveled homeless man, onlookers were stunned. But she wasn't looking for love—she was trying to wake up a sleeping giant before her family destroyed him forever.
The Race Against Time
The guards moved with brutal efficiency. They shoved Olivia aside, her expensive blazer scraping against the rough concrete as she fell. She watched in horror as they hoisted Charles off the ground. He struggled, his newly awakened mind fighting to hold onto the fleeting fragments of his past.
"Olivia!"he screamed, his voice filled with a desperate recognition that broke her heart. They threw him into the back of the SUV and sped off, leaving Olivia alone on the pavement, surrounded by whispering onlookers who did nothing to help.
But Olivia was not unprepared. She knew her father’s ruthless nature all too well. Before kneeling to propose, she had secretly slipped a micro-GPS tracker into the pocket of Charles's worn canvas jacket. Standing up, she wiped the dust from her knees, pulled out her phone, and tracked the moving red dot. It was heading toward an abandoned industrial park on the edge of the city—a property owned by her family's conglomerate, Vance Enterprises.
An hour later, Olivia slipped through the rusted gates of the facility. The air was thick with the smell of damp concrete and rust. Following the signal to a dimly lit basement office, she peered through a cracked window. Her breath caught in her throat. Charles was strapped to a metal chair, a bright light shining directly into his eyes. Standing over him was her father, Arthur Vance, holding a syringe.
"You were supposed to stay lost, Charles," Arthur said, his voice cold and devoid of empathy. "Five years ago, you survived the accident. I couldn't bring myself to kill my old partner, so I let you rot on the streets. But now, you are starting to remember the patents you designed—the patents that made me a billionaire. I cannot let you ruin my empire."
Olivia realized the horrific truth: her father had deliberately kept Charles homeless and medicated to protect his stolen fortune. She knew she had to act immediately before her father administered the drug that would erase Charles's mind permanently.
