Prologue

“Are you Laura Gardner?”Laura stops as an unknown man approaches from behind her. She turned from the black plastics and garbage piles she was ordered to dispose earlier, towards the unfamiliar man. She has never seen this person before.“Are you Laura Gardner?” the man repeats his question as he scrutinizingly looks at her from her head to toe, then back to her face.Laura nervously rubs both her palms on her skirt with the intention of wiping it. She walks towards the man as she softly uttered, “Yes, I am. Is there anything I could do for you?”The man waves his hand at something from behind him. As if on cue, Laura watched as a black limousine suddenly parks near the alley where they stand. A woman, dressed like a nobility, gets off the limousine and walks towards them.Laura confusingly looks at the man.As if the man understood her confusion, he said, “There’s someone I’d like you t

“You’ve lost a lot of weight.”Laura looks at her mother who’s lying down the hospital bed. It is undeniable how weak her mother has become just by hearing the voice alone.Looking at her mom’s weakened state, her grip on the straps of her shoulder bag tightened as she tries to give her best smile. At least if she smiles, her mother can be less worried. She walks towards her mom as she pulled a nearby chair, and positions herself just beside her mother’s bed.“I’ve been on diet these days,” she lied. Truth is, she’s been only eating a slice of bread every single day because she doesn’t have the money to buy enough food.“You don’t need to diet. My daughter is already so much beautiful,” her mother smiled.Despite the pale look on her mother’s face, Laura still thinks that her mom is so pretty when she smiles.“Between you and I, I think you’

An ear-splitting car horn stuns Duke by surprise, causing him to shift his head towards its direction. There, he sees a certain young woman in the middle of the road, almost hit by a car. “Duke, are you listening?” He looks at his father who’s sitting beside him at the backseat of the car. With furrowed eyebrows, his father continued to speak. “Could you pay attention?” Duke Crezford has just arrived in the city from overseas and there goes his father again. He expressionlessly motioned his hand to raise the partially opened car window. He could still see the woman earlier, now walking away from the middle of the road. Edmond stared at his son who seemed uninterested with everything he’s been saying since earlier. “Duke, are you with me?” There was a hint of exasperation in his voice. But judging by Duke’s facial expression, his son doesn’t care at all. “I’m listening,” Duke shortly said, turning from the car window to his dad. He watched as his father opens a brown envelope and

That rude bastard. Laura could feel her facial features twitching out of extreme annoyance. She doesn’t want to marry either, but she’s not this rude. Rejecting her this way? And even while breakfast? She is not Olivia but she’s extremely irked and irritated! She reaches for the glass of orange juice in front of her and chugs it down to nothing before loudly putting it back on top of the table, the same way Duke did earlier. She pierced her eyes at Duke, trying to look as intimidating as she could. “And you think I want to take an arrogant man like you as my husband?” she said with stern voice, still holding down her glass on the table. “Don’t make me laugh,” she sarcastically said. Duke only raised an eyebrow. He noticed the woman’s grip on her glass begins to tighten. He smirks before speaking. “Are you laughing?” he sarcastically asked back which made Laura roll her eyes. His research about her was right. Pompous and self-assertive. Laura snorts. “Mom, there’s no way I’m marryin
