And now to save his inheritance he would have to marry the real heiress. Evangeline Rossador, a simple music teacher from a town, was content with teaching music to kids and having a garden in her home. But her whole life turned upside down when she was announced as betrothed to infamous cruel duke Leonardo as her father's last wish before dying. They both were hardly accepting the fact that they were bound in a forced marriage when life played another game and she found herself standing in front of her died father. Soon more deaths started to occur and they both find themselves standing in mid of many misunderstandings and conflicts. How would this chaos be solved?

Light in his eyes!

When Evan reached the ending, in spite of following the regular tone, she adjusted it to the way she always wanted to play. Deafening silence engulfed the ballroom. As if everyone was frozen and could not even react. The music shook their souls completely.

An applause finally sounded after a full three seconds, followed by a second applause, then a third applause...

The applause that sounded like rolling thunder resonated throughout the entire ballroom.

She took two steps backwards as if she did not want to face the reality and tumbled down on the stool again. Her face was ashen. She continued to stare at Evan in disbelief. How could a commoner be this elegant and graceful? No! She pinched herself to get rid of this nightmare.
