My Boyfriend Locked Me in a Car Under the Sun All Day Because His First Love

This was an abandoned parking lot, so it was completely deserted. It was obvious that Morgan and Ellie had deliberately chosen this place to punish me. Morgan had even taken my cell phone. The windows and doors were tightly closed and there was nothing inside the car that could be used to break the windows.

The worst part was that Morgan had slipped a drug into my food last night and the effects seemed to be still inside my body because my limbs felt weak and numb. So, it was impossible for me to break the window and escape on my own.  

As time passed, the sun rose slowly high in the sky and the temperature inside the car began to climb steadily. My breathing grew increasingly difficult.  

Am I really going to die here today?

Morgan and I met two years ago. At that time, he was at the end of his rope. Late at night by the river, he had drunk heavily, crying and cursing the heavens for their injustice and was about to jump.  It so happened I was walking by the river, so I rushed over and grabbed him.

“I have no hope left in life. My parents died in a car accident, my company is about to go bankrupt, creditors are constantly knocking on my door and the bank keeps calling to demand repayment...”  

Before he could finish, I slapped him hard across the face.  He froze, staring at me blankly. Seeing that he no longer struggled to jump into the river, I sighed in relief and said, “Are you more awake now?”  

Morgan nodded instinctively, then touched his face, which was slightly swollen from the slap, with a dazed look.  

I said to him seriously, “As the old saying goes, it's better to live a miserable life than to die well. Your parents, who are watching over you from heaven, won't want their son to be useless, will they?”

“If you're broke, go earn money. If you're in debt, pay it off little by little. As long as you're alive, there's hope.”  

“You've heard of the Lancaster Family, the richest family in town, right? Twenty years ago, the head of the Lancaster Family was deep in debt and dared not return home for the New Year. He even hid with his wife and children in another city. But within just five years, they seized an opportunity and rose to the top.”

“Though such examples of rising from the bottom to the top are rare, at least they offer hope.” You're still young, with plenty of opportunities ahead. Youth is your greatest asset. If you give up and jump into the river now, that will be the biggest waste for you!"

After I finished speaking, Morgan calmed down slightly. I was not sure whether it was my words that got through to him, or the hard slap I gave him snapped him awake, but at least he had temporarily abandoned the idea of jumping into the river.

He reached out his hand to me and said softly, “My name is Morgan Coleman. Thank you!”  

I smiled, took his hand gently and said, “I’m Felicia Lancaster.”

And just like that, the gears of fate began to turn.

At that time, I refused to accept the arranged marriage my family had arranged for me and ran away from home in a fit of anger.

During our time together, I lied and told Morgan I was an orphan who had been raised by an elderly couple in the countryside.

Morgan’s appearance perfectly matched my aesthetic preferences. After being with him, I used my family’s connections to secure some orders for the Coleman Group and helped Morgan through a difficult period.

Morgan would always excitedly say I was his lucky star, as my arrival not only saved his life but also revived the Coleman Family's company. He promised he would never let me down and said that once the company was fully stabilized, he would throw me a grand wedding.
