a lady for a duke

According to my mother, the men who were loved by the daughters of the Granger family were blessed with fortune beyond belief. In exchange, however, the women of our family were cursed with short lives, not being able to live past the age of 30. Only by having their husbands willingly agree to share their lifespans with them on their wedding day could they return to normal. I didn't want to die young, so I started picking out a husband ever since I was a child. I saved the brooding young boy next-door who was being bullied. I stayed by his side as he went from rags to riches, becoming one of the rising stars of the business world. On the day of our marriage, however, he abandoned me at the altar and went straight to his first love, the woman who used to bully him in the past. While I was searching for a new husband, he had the gall to threaten me with his status. "Penelope, don't push it. You're really testing my patience." Little did he know that he only had his fame and fortune because of me.

"Oh tidak! Aku benci anak-anak!!" Irina Fernandaliz, terus mengumpat ketika pertama kali menginjakan kakinya di panti asuhan. Irina sangat anti dengan anak-anak apalagi yang sudah menginjak usia 5 tahun, menurut Irina mereka sangat menyebalkan! Jika bukan karena suruhan ibunya yang menyuruhnya untuk mencari muka di depan publik demi menutupi skandalnya yang sudah menjadi headline, ia tidak akan sudi beramah tamah disini. Saat ia akan kembali pulang dari panti asuhan, tiba-tiba mobil yang dikendarai oleh supirnya oleng menembus pembatas jalan hingga hancur dan merenggut nyawa nya dan sang supir. Ketika detik terakhir nya saat ia benar-benar merasakan tubuhnya hancur dan sakit luar biasa, ia melihat sebuah cahaya menghampiri nya kemudian menariknya hingga ia benar-benar menutup mata. _______________________ Verona Van Helsing "Kau jahat Alexander! Aku baru saja melahirkan putra putri kita, aku baru saja kehilangan ayah ku dan sekarang? Kau menambah penderitaan lagi kepada ku dengan membawa perempuan ini Alexander? kau sungguh pria yang kejam!" Verona sudah tidak bisa bertahan lagi, ia sudah pasrah jika ia harus meregang nyawa dengan cara tenggelam. Namun ia berdoa di akhir hayatnya, ia meminta jika anak-anak nya dapat hidup dengan bahagia tanpa merasakan kurangnya kasih sayang. Verona menyesal atas apa yang telah ia perbuat kepada anak-anaknya. Bagaimanapun mereka tidak bersalah, mereka hanya korban dari keegoisan orang tua mereka.
