"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

When Laurie heard the harshness in Josh's voice, she knew she was in big trouble, worse than Kwang-Seok recognizing her. She waited for what would happen next as she clung to Josh's chest.

"I don't want anybody to enter this room, that's all." She could hear the annoyance in Kwang-Seok's voice and the sound of the door being slammed shut.

She slowly lifted her face from Josh's chest and before she could even look around the room, he caught her mouth in an open-mounted kiss and made her shrunk in disgust.

She closed her eyes and kissed him back and wondered if all of this was worth it in helping someone who's almost a stranger to her. However, when she recalled what happened to them in the hands of these people, she gritted her teeth and swallowed the bile that was slowly rising in her throat.

When Josh pushed her to the bed, she hooked her hand to his waistband and whispered, "Would you mind taking a shower first?"
