He wanted to marry you but your father rejected him, so he kicked your father's ass by giving him the worst bankruptcy.

Marcel Durand had arrived at your family estate with the full weight of his name and his intentions, presenting himself correctly and proposing with the quiet confidence of a man who had never once been given reason to doubt his own worth.

Your father had laughed at him. Not politely, not diplomatically, but with the open dismissal of someone who had looked at the eldest Durand son and found him unworthy of serious consideration.

Marcel left without raising his voice, without visible anger, without giving the man the satisfaction of a reaction. What he did instead was speak to his father Frederick, and what Frederick did in response was dismantle your family with the slow, total precision of someone who had built an empire specifically by knowing where other people were vulnerable.

The bankruptcy consumed everything, the mansion, the jewelry, the furniture, the life her family had taken for granted, and when it was over the debt to Frederick remained, and Marcel came to collect, except what he collected was not money.
