"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

"What game are you playing, Jiro?" She didn't bother to greet him. The moment he answered his phone she asked him.

She has a hangover and stiff neck. She didn't need this kind of shit. If Jiro wanted to play around he could do so, but not with her. She didn't have any plans to play with him.

"I didn't send the last message you received from me."

She heard some fighting in the background. It was faint but she could recognize the other voice as a woman. She scoffed. If he didn't send the message, she has a feeling that the woman he was arguing with was the one who sent her the message.

It may not be him who sent the message but the fact that there's another girl who did it, still a complication that she doesn't wish to involve herself with.

"Please, Laurie...let me explain."
