When I Flash-Married a Billionaire, My Ex Went on a Hunger Strike

The once-revered socialite, Adora Matthews, was abducted for three years.

After escaping death and making her way back, she thought the nightmare was finally over, only to plunge into yet another abyss.

Her once-doting parents now treated her like a plague.

Her fiercely protective older brother loathed her to the core.

The adopted sister she once cared for mocked her with cutting remarks.

Even her childhood sweetheart, who once sworn eternal love, was now engaged to that very sister, wishing for her death.

All because of the rumors that she had contracted a vile disease, given birth to an old man’s child, and disgraced the Matthews family.

With no other choice, she severed all ties and walked away, secretly carrying a fortune worth millions.

Without hesitation, she entered a flash marriage with Louis Walker.

Everyone knew Louis Walker was a surgical prodigy—young, brilliant, and from a prestigious family.

Yet, no one dared to approach him, let alone propose marriage.

His temperament was unpredictable, his moods volatile—genius and madness teetering on the edge.

But after marrying the disgraced heiress of the Matthews family, Louis transformed into the ultimate doting husband, flaunting his love in public and clinging to her in private.

As the Matthews family faced imminent bankruptcy with no way out, they turned to their son-in-law as a last resort.

The Matthews family stood frozen in shock.

"Adora... it was you?!"

Adora Matthews was abducted and trapped in the mountains for three years, tortured to the brink of death before she was finally rescued.

The officers who found her drove her home.

As Adora stepped out of the car, she stared at the grand estate before her, an unfamiliar glint in her eyes.

It felt foreign, almost as if she no longer recognized her own home.

She couldn’t be blamed for that.

The Matthews residence had been completely redecorated, adorned with festive decorations, and buzzing with the lively atmosphere of a grand celebration.

"Is this the Matthews' estate?" the officer driving the car asked curiously.

His colleague nodded.

"It is! I called her parents several times to tell them we found their daughter, but they assumed it was a scam and hung up every time."

Another female officer scoffed, shaking her head.

"Their eldest daughter was missing, yet they still had the heart to throw a party?"

Standing under the scorching sun, Adora listened to their conversation, her emotions tangled in a complicated mess.

But she didn’t dwell on it.

All she could think about was the overwhelming joy and relief of finally coming home.

"Adora, go on in," the female officer gently urged.

"Alright."

She nodded slightly, pressing her lips together before stepping toward the estate.

She wasn’t sure if it was
