"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.
"The uneasy feeling bothered her because it wasn't the first time Laura would be visiting her mother's grave, so mom wasn't sure why she was feeling uneasy about that particular day. She regrets letting her go that day. If only I had insisted on her taking the car… Mom would always say."
"Since there was no one to take Alan, no relative whatsoever, he was going to go into governmental care, but mom couldn't send him away so they decided to adopt him instead. Alan, just twelve at that time, refused to be adopted and take up the name Grand. He said he wanted to remain his mother's son and keep bearing his mother's last name. So mom and dad fostered him instead. He's been with us since then, as the last kid of the house. Of course he hates being called the last kid." He laughs.
"And this is a secret, but mom and dad adore and spoil him more than me and Rey."
"It's not such a big secret if I can see it." I say and he laughs.
