To Champagne Gold, life was always like a fast-moving truck with no brakes and a drunk driver, one she couldn't avoid.

At the age of five, she lost her parents in a helicopter crash. Life after that was one problem to another but she held on... until her grandfather passed away as well.

With his death came the loss of her position of CEO and her hard-earned shares. As if that was not enough, she was served with divorce papers and the revelation of her husband's adultery with her cousin.

Dealt with one too many blows, Champagne sought to end it all. Perhaps she could be reincarnated or whisked away to another world like the books she read before, but that was not to be. Instead, a mysterious man entered her life.

"Dearest, what do you think of Marilyn Monroe in glasses?" He asks.

"The woman looks good in everything. She was stunning in glasses."

"Well right now, Marilyn Monroe in glasses can't hold a candle next to you. You look far more breathtaking," He's exaggerating.

"You are exaggerating." I can feel the warmth from his hands getting hotter like it always does anytime his touch lingers on my skin.

I try to turn my head to the side, but his hands on my face are firm and won't allow me the liberty to escape his gaze.

"I am not." He says, "and even if I am, it is only because you are worth every exaggeration." He says and when he says something like that while staring at me like that, also while being so close to me, it makes me lose my breath completely.
