SourceDr. Vulcania Shaw had spent years serving her quiet hometown clinic, believing love would be her reward. When her boyfriend, Wesley, graduated and moved to the city, promising to prepare a home for them, she trusted him completely. The day she boarded a bus to surprise him, her heart was full of hope.
Halfway into the journey, armed gangsters stormed the bus, searching for someone. Panic filled the air. Suddenly, a tall stranger slid into the seat beside Vulcania, pressing a knife lightly against her waist. “Hold me,” he whispered urgently. “Pretend I’m your boyfriend.”
Terrified but quick-thinking, Vulcania wrapped her arms around him. When the gangsters approached, she calmly announced that her “boyfriend” was seriously ill with a contagious disease. Fear flashed across their faces, and within seconds they exited the bus. As soon as the bus moved again, the stranger collapsed.
When they reached the station, passengers hurried off. Vulcania tried to wake him, but he remained unconscious and bleeding. The driver insisted she take “her boyfriend” with her. With no choice, she dragged him out, placed him on a small transport cart, and wheeled him along as she searched for Wesley’s address.
When she finally reached the house, she knocked eagerly. Wesley opened the door and froze. Before he could speak, a woman appeared beside him holding a child.
“Who is it, honey?” the woman asked.
Vulcania’s world shattered.
Wesley admitted coldly that he was married to Daisy and claimed he had never promised Vulcania anything serious. He pushed her away and shut the door in her face. Her tears flowed freely as years of devotion crumbled.
Behind her, the injured man stirred weakly, even teasing her broken heart. But she noticed his wounds worsening. He refused hospital treatment, insisting the gang would find him there. With nowhere else to go, she rented a cheap hotel room and treated him herself.
The next morning, she worried aloud about securing residency and finding her long-lost grandparents. The stranger overheard her and made an unexpected proposal.
“Marry me,” he said. “I owe you my life.”
Desperate and cornered, Vulcania agreed to a contract marriage. On the marriage papers, she saw the name Cash Scott. When she questioned him, he claimed it was his childhood name.
Before he could explain further, luxury cars surrounded them. Men stepped out, led by Wade Lee. Vulcania recognized them as the feared men of Chase Scott, the powerful head of Scott Electronics. Terrified, she grabbed Cash and ran.
Cash realized she feared the very name he truly carried—Chase Scott—and decided to keep his identity hidden.
They began living as husband and wife. On their wedding night, a strange warmth blossomed between them.
The next day, Vulcania attended a job interview at Scott Electronics. Coincidentally, Daisy worked there and attempted to humiliate her. Cash arrived just in time to stop the bullying. Wade cleverly introduced him as a candidate for security manager, keeping his true identity secret.
Later, Wesley attempted to force himself on Vulcania at her residence. Cash intervened violently, nearly beating Wesley senseless until Vulcania stopped him.
Determined to rebuild her life, Vulcania enrolled in night school to earn qualifications and search for her grandparents. During one shift at the electronics factory, a man collapsed. Wesley and Daisy tried to prevent Vulcania from helping, claiming she was unqualified.
Chase’s mother, Madam Scott, happened to be present. She allowed Vulcania to act. With calm precision, Vulcania stabilized the man before the ambulance arrived.
Impressed—and angered by Wesley and Daisy’s interference, Madam Scott fired them both.
Humiliated, Daisy plotted revenge. She arranged for several male students to trap Vulcania after night classes. As they cornered her, Cash heard her scream and rushed in, saving her. Furious, he had Daisy and her accomplices arrested.
In retaliation, Wesley contacted Chase’s former fiancée, Cynthia Lopez. Cynthia confronted Vulcania, revealing Cash’s true identity as Chase Scott and threatening her life if she didn’t divorce him.
Shaken, Vulcania confronted Chase. He confessed everything—his real name, his status, and his fear of losing her because she despised Chase Scott’s reputation.
Hurt but conflicted, Vulcania distanced herself. Chase’s grandmother advised him to shamelessly pursue his wife. He did cooking, cleaning, and publicly doting on her until she slowly forgave him.
When exam season arrived, Wesley and Cynthia bribed officials to accuse Vulcania of cheating. In front of school authorities and Mrs. Young, head of Yosha Pharmaceutical, Vulcania demanded to retake the exam immediately.
She answered flawlessly, earning a perfect score. Investigations revealed she had been accepted into medical university five years earlier, but the enrollment records had been altered to Wesley’s name.
Chase struck Wesley in fury and handed him to the police.
Mrs. Young offered Vulcania a position at Yosha Pharmaceutical and pleaded for forgiveness for Cynthia, her granddaughter. Vulcania forgave her.
Preparations began for a grand wedding.
On the wedding day, as Vulcania and Chase stood at the altar, Cynthia burst in with a gun aimed at Vulcania. In the chaos, Mrs. Young noticed a necklace resembling one her long-lost son owned. She inquired about Vulcania’s father and learned he had disappeared during overseas volunteer work.
Recalling a letter about a daughter named Vulcano with a birthmark on her shoulder, Mrs. Young checked—and found the mark.
Vulcania was her granddaughter.
As emotions surged, Wade calmly disarmed Cynthia and dragged her away. Mrs. Young disowned Cynthia on the spot.
Tears of joy replaced sorrow. Vulcania had found her family, reclaimed her future, and married the man who loved her fiercely.
In time, Vulcania and Chase welcomed a beautiful daughter—a symbol that even betrayal and hardship could lead to destiny, healing, and love. The End.
