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.

"Rather than escape like a coward, I can give you the power and resources to carry out your revenge. I have but one condition―marry me."

"You must be Champagne, it's a pleasure to finally meet you. I am Frederick Grand, but of course you can call me dad." He says with a smile on his face. One that flawlessly mirrors that of Duke.

I must say, the man is so… so… fine. I mean, to be Duke's father he should be at least over forty years old, right? But he still looks fine. He's as tall as Duke, maybe even more good looking.

Now I know where Queen EM gets her inspiration from. It's like the Male lead of her comic, 'Lover's at forty' just came to life. Those fine blue eyes, sharp chin, full brows, perfect brown hair… It's Jonah King, the Male lead life version!

"Huh?" I stare at Duke who just called my name. And I'm finally pulled back to the hand that is stretched out to me. "Oh, oh my gosh! I'm so sorry." I grab his hand with both of my own and shake him a little violently, "I_ I didn't mean to stare. I was being rude. It's nice to meet you sir." I force a smile.

35. Happy birthday.
