How I Defied My Parents’ Business Marriage Plans
Breaking Free: A Battle Between Duty and Desire
A Life in Chains
Alexander Morrison III grew up in privilege, raised to inherit Morrison Industries. His parents, obsessed with status, expected him to marry well and secure the family legacy.
“Marriage to someone who understands the responsibilities that come with our family’s position,” his father insisted.
The Ultimatum
At a formal dinner, his parents demanded he marry a pre-approved bride or give up the company.
“What if I refuse?” Alexander asked. His father’s response was blunt: “Then you’ll need to find another career path.”

Determined to resist, Alexander devised a plan: marry someone completely outside his parents’ world—not for love, but to expose their control.
