"Who is she? She is not the one I was supposed to marry."

"Master, She is the other woman's sister. She came here to represent her." His butler responds.

Eric smirks. "That cheeky woman thinks she can get a taste of me and run. Find her, and bring her here."

"Yes, Master Eric."

When Mina Campbell is cast out of her adoptive parent's home to represent her step sister at a 'checking' ritual, everything becomes blurry and faded, even worse when they turn their backs on her, calling her a whore who's out to ruin their lives. 

She's sad, angry and despaired.

Until Eric Walters decides to claim the young, cute and petite woman for himself, and slowly, she ends up being the Wealthy Man's weakness, oh, and his strength.

The Wealthy Man's Wife is His Weakness!

"And, I found out your true family name. Your name is Bellucci. Of Italian descent."

Mina goes quiet, the only sign of her having life is her breathing and blinking.

Eric understands just how overwhelmed she must be feeling so he only nods, smiling.

"Italian… Bellucci. Do we have addresses or anything to reach out there?"

"There had been something before but I missed it. How about I use tonight to establish some way to reach them? Should not be hard for me, you know, rich man and all…?"

Mina chuckles, nods as her lips form a thin line.

Eric takes both her hands, both of them tangling in one another nervously as she tries to withhold her tears. "If there is anywhere you should be free to cry, it should be right next to me, when you are leaning on my shoulders." He rises up from sitting opposite her and takes the space beside her.

Things will not always be as you want it.
