"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.
Turns out for the first time, I'm sitting with my aunt at the same table in a party organized by her. Wow, who would have thought.
"Duke, was it? I hope it's okay if I call you by name." She says as wine is being poured into the glass in front of both of us.
"Actually it is not. I'd appreciate it if you addressed me as Mr Grand." I don't know if I should call Duke petty or perfect. I mean he's being picky about everything and yet I like the way he's acting, showing them that he doesn't require any form of closeness with both mother and daughter.
"I see." I can see my aunt trying her best to keep that smile on her face. "Well then, Mr Grand, I'm glad you could make it to my party, although you missed a lot since you both came late. Alicia has told me so much about you and it made me quite curious to meet you."
"Has your curiosity been satisfied?" Duke asks.
