"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

She woke up before the break of dawn with a throbbing headache. She fell asleep on the lounge chair at the foot of her bed. She didn't even take off her dress or her makeup. She slowly got up to clean up but her stomach was queasy so she decided to drink something hot—probably coffee.

Making her way to the kitchen, she passed by the empty hallway of Madame Bae's house. The helpers were allowed in this part of the house but she was quite sure that somewhere in the house, someone was awake, doing some task for the day.

She arrived in the kitchen and it was sparkling clean. You wouldn't think that a wild party just happened last night.  Madame Bae's helpers in the house were very meticulous when it comes to cleanliness as their employer is such a freak when it comes to cleanliness.
