Tender Love: My Exclusive Indulge
Episode-01 PROLOGUE
She was nothing more than an ordinary college girl—
Asteria Watts, the daughter of the Watts family, with the lineage of scholars and rich generation of literature and culture. 21 years old and is about to finish her college
She is someone who blended easily into the crowd, yet carried a dream far too radiant to be called ordinary.
She wanted to stand beneath dazzling lights, command the attention of thousands, and become a celebrated host—graceful, confident, unforgettable.
Asteria Watts/FL
I will be the best host someday
Asteria Watts/FL
Hosting those meta Gala and all
Asteria Watts/FL
Just watch me shine (twirl on the stage)
But fate had a far more absurd script prepared for her.
Overnight, she found herself married into the powerful Sinclair Family—bound to a young master who lay motionless in a hospital bed, trapped in a silent coma.
Asteria Watts/FL
[Married at 21? Seriously! My 18-year-old self would have slapped me.]
A husband who could neither see her nor speak to her.
Fine. If this was the role forced upon her by this so-called destiny, she would play it well.
She would care for him, fulfill her duties, and the moment he showed no sign of waking or any sign of waking, doesn't matter...… she would leave. Quietly. Cleanly. Without looking back.
That was the plan. Too perfect
Until the dreams began having faces and identity.
Dark, suffocating, and terrifyingly vivid—night after night, she saw a version of him, yes, her comatose husband, not as a lifeless man, but as someone cold, domineering… and cruel.
In those dreams, he tormented her, broke her spirit, and left her to die in despair.
It felt too real to be dismissed as mere imagination. A mere dream.
Asteria Watts/FL
(look at her comatose husband)
Half out of fear, half out of defiance, she began speaking to his unconscious form, lecturing him, scolding him—determined to “teach” her temporary husband, some basic decency while he could neither argue nor retaliate against her.
Asteria Watts/FL
Fine. Let me install some morality and law-abiding programs in your brain
A harmless act coated with kind intentions from her side. Partially to save her life and partially to cure his CEO disease who thinks of himself as someone who holds the whole sky.
Or so she believed.
Because before she could escape to Noxbridge and reclaim her life of standing on the stage, the impossible happened—
Butler Jo/Sinclair Family's Butler
The Young Master has woken up. Please hurry back home Young Madam
He woke up. Yes! Before she could find any signs of waking he directly skipped signs and jumped to the awakening state. Not weak. Not disoriented. But perfectly fine. And worse… he remembered.
Maxence Sinclair/ML/Novel Antagonist
(narrowed his eyes looking at her)
Maxence Sinclair/ML/Novel Antagonist
Why not come back?
Asteria Watts/FL
(wants to hug the wall)
Asteria Watts/FL
[Fine! I admit I am a faint-hearted small chick who doesn't want to cross this scary man]
Now, the once-silent man refused to let her out of his sight, following her all the way to Noxbridge, closing every distance she tried to create—step by step, breath by breath.
Asteria Watts/FL
(speechless with confusion sprinkle)
And as reality began to blur with the nightmares that haunted her… She could no longer tell— Was she running away from him? Or from a future that was already beginning to unfold?

Mrs. Enola Sinclair/ML's Mom
(pressed her lips)
As far as it sounds a little superstitious, Enola still wishes for this superstition to come true and a miracle wakes up her son.
Mrs. Enola Sinclair/ML's Mom
(ring the doorbell)
Soon a voice "coming" came from inside and the door was opened from inside, a woman stood there in a blue apron and a messy bun looked at them. Her eyes fall on Mrs. Enola Sinclair and then at the old lady beside her and her gaze paused a little on her face as if she knew this face but vaguely
Zella Sinclair/ML's Grandma

Chairwoman Ma'am
Zella Sinclair the daughter-in-law of the famous Sinclair family in the Velmora City. She was known as the daughter-in-law who is very elegant, courteous and respectful towards everyone. She was known as the beloved wife of the Heir of Sinclair Family. And then a new tag after her name-The Chairwoman of the Sinclair Group.
After her husband's death she single handedly managed her 2 year old son, the huge Sinclair empire and the family. Safeguarding the Group and family from the wolves who were eyeing the property and her to show a weakness.
She was no longer the Elegant poise daughter-in-law or wife but the voice and power behind the Sinclair Group.
After taking over this huge role she also helped a lot of people who were stuck in mire.
And Wren Watts was one of them. The poor struggling student who couldn't come up with any sum to treat his mother and continue his studies and then Zella Sinclair stepped in and helped him out without anything asking in return but a promise was given to her by Wren himself.
Zella Sinclair/ML's Grandma
I heard that you have a daughter who is studying in the broadcasting department
Wren Watts/FL's Dad
(smiles) Yes, Chairwoman. She'll be graduating in three months.
