When Loredana was eight years old, her father left the family for his mistress, leaving them to fend for themselves abroad. Loredana and her mother, Maxina, worked multiple jobs to make ends meet. Tragedy struck when an accident claimed her little brother’s life and left her mother severely injured. Desperate to cover the hospital bills, Loredana resorted to sacrificing herself, losing her innocence in the process.
Loredana’s father returned with what he deemed “good news”: a proposal to marry Loredana into the wealthy Mendelsohn family. Despite knowing it was a ploy—given the groom’s paralysis and the inevitable unhappiness that awaited—both Loredana and Maxina understood the ulterior motives behind the offer. Her father sought personal gain at the expense of his daughter’s well-being.
Despite the circumstances, Loredana agreed to the marriage, having struck a silent agreement with her father solely for her mother’s sake.
“This is a good idea! He can wear it himself! I am telling you it suits him.” Boyce took the opportunity to dig Armand’s grave. Armand glared at him, “Will you die if you don’t talk?” “Yeah… What are you looking at?” Boyce noticed that Armand’s face had changed suddenly. He followed Boyce’s line of…
Loredana’ expressions were a bit awkward as she said, “Thank you.” Victoria bid her goodbye and then closed the window and turned to say to the driver, “Let’s go.” Loredana stood on the roadside, looking at the leaving car with narrowed eyes. She was not very familiar with Victoria; she hadn’t met her more than…
Loredana got more confused, wondering why Cormac would have done so. Seemingly she recalled that there was a pregnant woman who wanted to commit suicide by jumping off. Loredana wanted to convince that pregnant woman and told her that she could give all her money to the woman. So in Cormac’s mind, it turned out…
“I’ve met her officially twice. I haven’t known for a long time. But my intuition told me that she’s not a bad woman.” The flames in Cormac’s eyes almost sprayed out, burning this woman into ashes. How could she plead for Victoria? In an arctic cold tone, he said, “Give it back to her. I’ll…
Although she got married, she never wore a wedding dress. There was no wedding ceremony or a wedding dress for her. Even for the marriage certificate, she didn’t go to the civil affairs bureau together with her “husband”. “Excuse me, Lola.” Theresa walked over, passing the cell phone to her. “Your cell phone.” Since Loredana…
With a second thought, Loredana believed it was reasonable – Maria wasn’t young. Since she wouldn’t marry Cormac, there should be other men. The marriages in such rich or noble families were always connected to interests. Probably she would have another marriage for convenience with another famous family. With that thought, she didn’t feel weird…
“Don’t stay up too late then.” “Lola, I can close the shop for you. Samuel and Simona are still waiting for you at home.” Theresa believed that Loredana was much busier and she needed to care about more things. “It’s alright. I want to stay here alone for a while. You can leave now.” Loredana’s…
Loredana nodded. Leaning against the back of the chair, she continued to rest. Right then, she felt vibrant on her cell phone. As if she got the electric shot on her hand, she shivered. Looking down, she swiped to unlock the cell phone screen. Another photo was sent over, on which it was she who…
She knew that what Loredana cared the most was her two children. Now they were staying in Cormac’s villa and followed by bodyguards whenever they went out. She didn’t have any chance to do anything, but she could take their photos in secret. She gulped down the wine in the glass and sent out a…
Simona widened her round eyes, looking at Cormac and then at Victoria. Then she slid from the sofa and threw herself into Cormac’s arms. She muffled in his arms, “Daddy, didn’t Mommy come back with you?” His anger, displeasure, and coldness were drowned in Simona’s call. Cormac restrained himself and rubbed her hair gently. “You…
