"What the fuck did you send over, Nicky?" Laurie is screaming over the phone at six fucking  o'clock in the morning.

"It has a note. And I believe that the message was clear." the name Nicky answered.

"Well that's exactly, why I am asking!"  she exclaimed angrily, glaring at the innocently looking red leather pill box, that is instantly recognizable as a famous jewelry brand, sitting on her kitchen counter, with a note that says - I heard you cry over a guy, here's a small gift to let you know that I'd marry you anytime.

With the familiar scrawling penmanship in the white piece of paper, she would know who sent her the note, even without calling the guy on the phone.

***
When the guy you confessed to rejected you, and your two exes came back running—declaring they would marry you any time, what would you do?

Would you choose a familiar old love or the one that has your heart but doesn't want you?

And to add to the chaos, her mother is on a mission to marry her nearing thirty-something ass to any man who breathes. 

What should a girl do in such a situation? Run away, of course! 

But then, how far can you run away until all the life's decisions you screwed up in the past caught up with you and you ended up with no choice but to face them. 

Welcome to Laurie’s adventure and just to be clear this is not a love story BUT a quest.

Capture A Husband: My Asian Mother's Quest

They went out of her hotel room dressed to the ninth, no longer famished and on a mission to retrieve Haru's grandmother's bracelet.

The time was quarter to eleven. They were thinking that at this hour, Kwang-Seok and the rest of his minions would be out partying. Haru's plan was to get inside the mansion by the beach that their group was renting, enter her room, get her grandmother's necklace, and get out.

No reason to get the other things that she can easily replace. They were thinking that right after she got the necklace they would go back to Laurie's hotel. For good measure, Laurie complained to the hotel management that she didn't get a good sleep last night and would like to move to a different room.

Before they left the hotel, Laurie already got the key to her new room, her things were delivered to the room as she got out to paint the town red and do some old-fashioned breaking and entering.
