ML hires people to kidnap MC, hires them again to break his ankle, and was going to break his leg. He forces a restaurant that MC has close ties with to shut down to isolate MC. Then ML forces MC to never leave a room while threatening to shut down the restaurant again if he doesn't eat. MC somehow becomes sick which starts to make him emaciated.

ML fakes a marriage with an Omega to save that Omega and ML doesn't need to marry someone for business. ML's dad is a literal defined psychopath and will ruin that Omega and ML's life. ML's bro catches ML cheating on the Omega with MC and is about to tell the dad. Even though ML's bro doesn't know about the dad being a psychopath, why would any normal person tell their parents? They would go to the spouse or mistress first. But all of this a plot point for the dad to get a hint that ML is lying about the marriage.

ML gets MC's house back to show he's sorry, but it kinda seemed like he had it this whole time and he used it as a bargaining chip to tilt the scales of forgiveness to his favor. Then MC starts forgiving ML for a whole lotta stuff in exchange for ML fixing his behavior.
