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.
Samuel looked back. He saw the man standing beside the handbasin. Drying his hands in an elegant way, the man raised his eyes lazily, “Not tall enough?” Samuel raised his head. Though he was much shorter than the man, he could not appear weaker than him. “I am not peeing.” He couldn’t acknowledge in front…
Did he know what this was? It was his? “Mr. Mendelsohn, you are in good mood? You carry it with you. Are you preparing for an emergency?” Chester was about to puke out the wine in his mouth that he just drank. The Cormac Mendelsohn that was normally indifferent and cold, the president of WY…
Make him happy. That was a way to repay him for his love and care. If they were still in Country A, Sampson would fell very happy. But he felt much heavier now. He could feel that it was not because she loved him but because of his care for her in these years that…
This was really bewildering. Nevertheless, this had nothing to do with her. She handed the photo back to Terry and said, “Sorry. But this has nothing to do with me.” Terry took the photo and put it back into his pocket. Knowing that this matter could not be achieved rashly, he said, “Are you waiting…
Cormac chuckled, “Of course I should prove to you that I don’t have the habit of using condoms.” “…” “I’ll ask him about this when I come back. Let’s stop here today.” After finishing the words, she stood up to leave. Cormac grabbed her wrist, “It’s not up to you.” Loredana felt like her heart…
The decoration of the bedroom had a blue keynote. It was full of childishness and playfulness, yet also looked warm. With only one glance at it, one could tell that the bedroom had been elaborately decorated. Samuel was sitting by the bedside facing the windows. With his head lowered, he was concentrated on reading something…
“As for shrimp, I know which stall sells the best shrimp.” Coral walked to them and looked at the two kids, “They are…” Maxina didn’t feel strange about being accosted by others. Whenever she took the two kids outside before, people always stared at them for some time, or even came up and talked to…
“No.” Cormac stopped Coral before she could finish her sentence. He had only had sex with a single woman. It was impossible that other women would bear his children. Bastards? How was it possible? “Coral, aren’t we having dinner tonight?” Looking at the empty kitchen, Cormac saw nothing. The table was carefully cleaned and was…
It was the same sentence. Loredana was not interested. “I am sorry. I have other business to take care of. I am leaving.” Loredana paid for her ticket and then walked to the entrance. Under the urgent situation, Terry run to her and grabbed her arm, “Six years ago, my brother got a sum of…
