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.
Loredana calmed herself down, “Mister, please return by the same route. I forget to bring a thing and I have to come back to the company to take it.” The driver pretended not to hear it. Loredana raised her voice, “Stop please!” The driver drove faster and said in a cold voice, which was quite…
But she was still worried that her son would leave again and wished that he could stay at home forever. She thought it would be better if her son could marry a woman in China. Only with such a bond of marriage would she be assured that he wouldn’t leave again. Nevertheless, Sampson rejected this…
In the house, the maids were making breakfast and the others seemed to have not wakened up. “Should I come to wake…” “No need.” Loredana interrupted the maid. She once lived in this place. Last time, she came and left hastily and didn’t have time to step into the room where she once stayed in.…
“I won’t force you to divorce her. Agree with my condition or not, it’s up to you.” Loredana said nonchalantly. Would Garrett truly love someone? Garrett was in a dilemma, “Lora, I knew you bore grudges in your heart because I sent you away at that time. But Beulah was pregnant and the check-up showed…
Cormac was dumbstruck for a moment. He looked down at the woman who was kissing him on his lips and forgot how to react. Although she was promiscuous, she was quite inexperienced in kissing. He was inexplicably familiar with the kiss, so he didn’t push her away in the first place. But when he finally…
Loredana immediately apologized since it was the tea in her cup which was spilt onto others, “I’m really sorry, I didn’t do this on purpose.” “If you’re not doing this purposely, then why is my skirt wet now?” Loredana was stunned for a moment. She didn’t expect Sheryl to retort her so aggressively. “I have…
Cormac didn’t want to entertain her at all as he circled her and continued his stride towards the meeting room. Sheryl wanted to try again but she was stopped by Abbott, “You know very well what you have done, and you are very familiar with Mr. Mendelsohn’s temper.” “But…” Sheryl wanted to explain again but…
Both Garrett and Beulah had grave expressions on their faces. Annabelle walked toward them and sat beside Beulah, wrapping her arms around her mother. “Mum, what’s wrong?” Beulah just remained silent. Garrett was very moody as he barked. “I never asked you to do anything funny. I just wanted you to apologize to her so…
Cormac was cupping his forehead while massaging his temples. He didn’t respond for quite a while. Loredana continued to stand rooted to the spot as her heart pounded in her chest. She did not know what his response would be. “Can you please come with me back to the Flores family for once?” Loredana repeated…
Garrett peeked at Beulah and Annabelle as he warned them in a low tone. “This is a very important ordeal for me. Don’t do anything that could ruin this meeting!” Beulah suppressed the anger in her heart as she straightened his suit. “You have nothing to worry about. We’ll never talk back or retaliate, even…
