The family head, Sire Dorawo Maldevois, was hunted by the husband of his mistress who turned out to be a noble.

Don’t worry; I will make sure I could find a job within this day.”“Cassey, money is not what I am worried about.”Cassey stared at the man and smiled.

Those eyes are not as brilliant as Ashanti’s but they shine on their own.“You have been staring for a while.”Cassey flinched. His voice was deeper than anyone else, but she felt it was really familiar. It must be because she met him already before.“I am sorry.
