MyCatPaws

Leticia whose been living her life quietly in the outskirts of the Kingdom of Otis, met a bloodied man lying on her lawn in the middle of the night.

Deciding to save the man whose identity is still unknown, Leticia did the bare minimum aid and determined to let him go when he gets better.

'Well... I mean, I can't afford to help and sheltered an unknown man when I want to get married, right?!'

But what's this?

Why are you not leaving? And why are you so good at doing household chores?! And you know how to cook too?!

You're making me hesitate to let you go!

The rumored notorious Duke Hugh Naville decided to stay quiet and enjoy the life he has with Leticia until knights came and begged him to go back as his marriage candidates lined up to meet him, plotted for political purposes of the Queen.

Thinking that the Queen shouldn't have his way with his life, Duke Hugh saw Leticia as the best option.

"Leticia... Will you become my lover?"

"Huh? Why would I do that?!"

The response from Leticia made Duke Hugh smile. He became sure that she's the only answer to his crisis.

"I want you to become my fake lover..."

-
But what will happen when suddenly Leticia had a glimpsed of her future and one of those is her life hanging in a thread?

'I should leave before I can, right?'

The Duke's Fraudulent Lover

So, Leticia started to live on her own with the money that she saved from her so many part-time jobs and freelancing.

She swore to herself that she would only rely on herself and become self-sufficient.

And when she got used to living alone, and the busy schedule somehow subsided, she started to feel a void in her heart.

So, she adopted pets - two cats to be exact, a ragdoll and a Persian cat from the center.

She named them paws and nosy, because of their certain black spots in the fur of their paws and nose.

Leticia somehow felt that she could start to deal with her feelings she paused for a long time when she set them aside as she needed to deal with her future.

Learning to smile again, learning to appreciate things again, learning to meet people again and trust them somehow, those cats became the family that she could call her own.

I MISS HER...
