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.

Boyce stood motionlessly in confusion. He looked down at his hands. His hands were not dirty. He couldn’t understand why Cormac was so petty. He rushed over to catch up with Cormac, “Wait, Cormac. I must talk to you.” He wasn’t a nasty man, but why was Cormac so alerted to him? “I understand you…
Loredana couldn’t help but bitching about him inwardly. He indeed had a lot of requirements, did he? She gritted her teeth, “Charles.” “I liked it.” He smiled brightly. Loredana wanted to retort him, wondering why he said so. However, for the sake that he saved her life, she kept silent. When Amelia came in with…
Cormac sat back a bit and held her little face with his hands. Probably it lacked air in his embrace, or probably it was because of the grievance that she had experienced, her eyes were reddened. Tears were hanging on her long eyelashes. He bent over the kiss away the tears from his daughter’s eyes…
“What are you doing?” asked Amelia, staring at Loredana who was standing in the living room and about to make a phone call through the landline phone. With a water glass in her hands, Amelia was standing at the door of the kitchen. On the other end of the line, Samuel heard a woman’s voice…
She wondered if that man went anxious because she had suddenly been missing. She didn’t know. As soon as the tip of the pencil fell on the paper, she seemed to know what she was going to draw. Then her brushes fell on the paper continuously and quickly. … “Young Master, you are back.” Charles…
Although he hid pretty well, Loredana still could sense the disappointment and depression in his tone. After all, everyone would care if he couldn’t walk. Loredana’s gaze fell on the bookshelves behind the desk. The bookshelves were made of red sandalwood. They fully occupied the whole wall, covered with rows of books. Loredana had never…
The boy had completely forgotten he was sitting on his lap now. He kept thinking about how to find Mommy instead. Boyce cast them a glance in silence. “I’ll tell the routes to the driver” According to the landline number, he had found the region. Although it was still a big area, as long as…
