[MATURE CONTENT] Betrayed by her sister, Nidia South ended up having a one-night stand with a random man. Eight months later, her premature pregnancy made it to the news. Jackson Cunningham, Baile City's business tycoon, immediately recognized her on the news and forcefully took custody of their child. However, the child only wanted his mother's breast milk, hence Nidia was brought to the mansion as well. She had thought that this was a cold and cruel man, a cold-blooded capitalist, but in reality... she was the girl of his dreams, he had been longing for her for ten years. Jackson did everything in his power to be able to keep her in his life, all he wanted to do was take care of her and spoil her.
At the express hotel, Nidia placed her identity card on the counter.
The receptionist said, "Miss, please take your mask off. I need to verify your identity."
Nidia endured that thought of getting odd stares and took off her mask, showing her wounded face.
The two of them were silent for a few seconds.
"Miss, do you need me to contact the cops?" The receptionist leaned forward and whispered, with her eyes filled with righteousness.
"No thank you," Nidia said with a soft smile, in case the receptionist was still overthinking.
After checking into her room, Nidia continued to focus on designing the villa, pushing away any other thought from invading her mind.
Nidia stayed in her room for two days straight.
On the third day, she showed up to work with a mask despite the grip marks on her face fading. They weren't noticeable unless one were to inspect closer.
