"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

"Have a seat." She swiped her hands gracefully towards the sofa that was under a tinted glass window. The light passing through the glass decorated the black marble floors with an array of colors.

"Miss," the helper called Madame Bae politely. Her hands were folded in front of her abdomen and her back was straight as an iron board. "Miss Crisostomo is still asleep in her room."

She squinted her eyes on her young helper and saw right through her. "You can tell me now. This man," she pointed to Jiro who was sitting on the couch without looking at him, "wanted to marry Laurie, he ought to know what the woman he wanted to marry is like in her natural state."

The young helper pulled her shoulder back so that her already straight back got straighter. "Miss Crisostomo fell asleep in the tub. We found two empty bottles of wine in the bathroom." The young woman said, averting her employer's gaze.

A Great News!
