"I swear I will make them pay with everything I have. I will use my very own blood to sign the documents that will end them if I must!” To Champagne Gold, life was always like a fast-moving truck with no brakes and a drunk driver, one she couldn't avoid. At the age of five, she lost her parents in a helicopter crash. Life after that was one problem to another but she held on... until her grandfather passed away as well. With his death came the loss of her position of CEO and her hard-earned shares. As if that was not enough, she was served with divorce papers and the revelation of her husband's adultery with her cousin. Dealt with one too many blows, Champagne sought to end it all. Perhaps she could be reincarnated or whisked away to another world like the books she read before, but that was not to be. Instead, a mysterious man entered her life. "Rather than escape like a coward, I can give you the power and resources to carry out your revenge. I have but one condition―marry me.” Champagne held her lips between her teeth and took the offer. However, just when she believed her new life was going smoothly, she found out another painful secret. One more painful than any she had discovered before. She had undergone a uterus removal procedure and she didn't even know it. Now Champagne is more determined than ever to get revenge on everyone who wronged her. She would do and give everything to make them pay for taking away something so precious from her.
That morning when I had walked into Duke's study and heard him discussing Rowan's crimes with Alan, I wouldn't have guessed it was this much. When Alan had said the crimes the man committed was enough to keep him behind bars for long years, I didn't think much about it.
However, seeing and hearing it for myself now, I am beyond shocked.
My body is still trembling even now that the news has moved on to another discussion entirely. I still can't get it out of my head. The fact that I spent long nights waiting for such a man makes me almost hate myself.
If not for Duke, Rowan Fletcher would have continued to live his life, committing more crimes against man and God.
Now they say he's on the run.
I pick my phone, I want to hear Duke's voice.
The phone is ringing, he must be busy now. Should I be disturbing him? Maybe I should just—"Hello," oh, he picked.
"H_Hello, Duke,"
