But she was caught by a wicked and crazy nobleman and was forced into an unlikely partnership of marriage in exchange of wealth and power she could never fathom. What else could go wrong? When Dion Burke had visited the small bar in the Grothem town after his carriage suffered an accident, he had cursed his luck. But who would have thought that goddess was blessing him with treasure. The previous duke had died with no blood children but the position and all the wealth was still left for the lost daughter and her.. Husband. So when Dion found the woman living as guttersnipe, a strange and wicked plan took place in an instant. He would claim power and wealth and share it with her. But what if… the woman whose mouth could be compared to the sailor turned out to be more tempting than the wealth she offered?

Worrying Eyes

Abi pulled her hands away startling the woman but she only smiled and shook her head. Her eyes softened. She did not look like the commanding brute she was in that room, but a motherly figure. Had Abi gone blind or had she lost her brain after having a tough day?

For some reason, she felt motherly vibes from a stranger.

"Your mother and I were good friends." as if she had read the dilemma on her face, she explained softly as she rubbed Abi's hands. "She was waiting for you eagerly. She used to knit sweaters for you and what not. She used to call me every other day to share designs with her. I used to tell her that she had gone senile and she was not the only pregnant woman.

But… I miss her. How she would have grieved for your absence." the woman sighed with a look of longing in her eyes and it finally dawned on Abigail. She had taken her as the lost princess Dion was talking about.
