My Substitute CEO Bride

"What happened?"

"I don't know, but why did Zora's attack just vanish?"

"Y-You guys, look at Anox's hands!"

The audience turned their attention to Anox, who was now holding a colorful dancing fan.

Zora's lips curled into a slight smile. "Of course, the Mossery Duet Clan's ultimate treasure is with you. The Seven-Color Dance Fan."

Anox was silent. Seeing this, Zora charged forward again. She knew that with the fan in his possession, she stood no chance if she executed the Mossery Duet Technique. She had to rely on hand-to-hand combat instead.

However, Anox showed no intention of fighting back. No matter how much Zora hit him, he remained unyielding.

At his indifference, Zora grew more impatient. "Do you think I'll forgive you if you do this? Don't get ahead of yourself!"

Just as she was about to continue to attack, Zora found herself unable to land a blow. "Bastard, are you just pretending to be pitiful? Come on, fight me!"

"I'm sorry..." Anox suddenly uttered.

Zora's expression turned serious again. "I... don't need your meaningless apologies!" she replied and swung her fist once more.

The Mossery Duet Technique required two individuals in collaboration to execute. Originally, the Dune and the Bijou families each held one part of the Mossery Duet Technique, the shared power bringing them closer.

Then, Anox was born.

Unlike his brother, Kalos, Anox possessed a remarkable talent for practicing the Mossery Duet Technique. However, the inheritance conditions for this technique were incredibly strict. As a result, Anox spent his childhood under immense pressure to meet these expectations.

It was not until middle school that he finally encountered the outside world. There, he met his younger brother for the first time, as well as his potential future wife, Zora.

There were many requirements to the Mossery Duet Technique, with the most crucial being that both individuals had to be in sync with each other and proficient in their abilities. The best solution to this issue was to have them marry, which would enhance their ability to perform the technique together.

However, this raised another concern. Due to the long-standing traditions between both families, close blood relations had been developed. To address this issue, the two families devised a plan.

The girls of the Dune family were forbidden from marrying into the Bijou family. Should they marry outside the family, their children still had to carry the Dune surname, which was the case for Anox and his brother, Kalos. Conversely, the boys from the Bijou family faced similar restrictions.

Ultimately, this was a problematic tradition. Anox and Kalos' parents found the restrictions unacceptable and did not want their children to grow up under such bizarre circumstances. After some careful planning, both brothers escaped, becoming traitors to the Mossery Duet Clan.noveldrama

Anox understood that none of this was Zora's fault. She was just a victim of the same oppressive system. He thought their paths had diverged forever, but they ended up in the same middle school and met again.

Throughout it all, Anox did not think Zora ever grasped the true meaning of love. To him, she was merely a pitiable person trapped by family rules.

It was during middle school that Anox met Teresa. As the story unfolded, it

became clear that he had developed feelings for her, leading him to want to sever all ties with Zora.

However, Zora was determined not to give up. While Anox believed that she did not understand love, Zora herself struggled to comprehend why she could not measure up to Teresa in his eyes.
