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.
The population in White City wasn’t large, but it was a prosperous city right now. All most all locals were working for the White Group. Cormac kept browsing and reading. The information about the White Group wasn’t much. Only his ups and downs during the development of his startup company were mentioned. There was nothing…
“She cares a lot about you.” Charles, however, wasn’t in the mood to discuss such a matter with her. He deliberately changed the subject. “Do you want to kill me by my thirst?” Loredana could only stand up and get the water bottle to pour a glass of water to him. Right then, Charles’s cell…
Comparing with herself, she believed that Charles had more secrets. “Lady first. Please ask.” Charles was fully prepared when suggesting the deal. Loredana thought for a while and asked, “What are your parents called? Where did they come from? Where are they now?” Charles frowned. “Did you ask only one question?” “Yes, I did,” Loredana…
Charles’s gaze fell on her foot gradually. She had fair skin, and her feet were fair as well. Her ankles were quite dainty. Her heels were fair with pink. The ancient sayings always praised women’s feet, which were called slender jade feet. Now, that name flashed through Charles’s mind. Loredana felt a gaze on her…
The annual party of the White Group was quite grand. Even the mayor of White City attended it. After all, the White Group had helped the city’s economic development and contributed to this city a lot. After their car was pulled over, Loredana saw a huge banner in front of the hotel entrance. A lot…
His gaze casually fell downstairs. Cormac could only see the heads of the crowd. Frowning, he withdrew his gaze. “Hi there, Mr. Mendelsohn!” Cormac looked back, seeing that the mayor was walking to him. The mayor smiled and said, “I thought I’ve seen an illusion. It’s really you, Mr. Mendelsohn. Are you also here for…
Cormac grabbed Loredana’s hand and raised his eyebrows slightly. The muscles on his face shook when he smiled horribly. “She married me at the age of eighteen. Why isn’t she young?” Charles frowned. In his opinion, Loredana was an assertive woman. He doubted why she had married Cormac at such a young age. “Are you…
She pushed him away and snapped, “Did you investigate me?” Only a few people knew about this matter. How did Cormac know it? This matter was a pain in her heart that she could never dare to talk about, and also it was the embarrassment and humiliation that she was never willing to talk about.…
“Wait, what?” Before Cormac could continue his sentence, she was agitated and interrupted, “Samuel and Simona are here?” “Ya…” “How come you didn’t say so earlier?” She gave Cormac a mournful expression. She hadn’t seen her two children in a long time and missed them so much. She was so eager to see her son…
“Please accept my apologies-” Loredana was at a loss for words as she stretched out to pull her kid into her arms. Samuel lifted his hand and wiped his tears away with the back of his palm. He choked with sobs and said, “Mommy did not do anything wrong, it’s my fault, I didn’t take…
