Not to be pessimistic (and please correct me if I'm wrong), but what's the point of continuing this fake relationship if it's not working? Like the brother is still making numerous attempts on the MC's life, and the ML is not offering any protection either (in fact, I would argue, he's even added additional harm to the MC physically and mentally). So I'm just confused where this story is going because wouldn't it be better to flee the country now? Or change just plans? I don't see any benefit to staying with the ML at this point.
