Being a victim of a house fire that brought the entire family house down, Valentina was left with several burns on her. body, causing her to be titled as the creature of Bayhill.

Her stepsister, Chole Callum was about to get married and according to the family tradition, Valentina as the elder daughter of the family must be married. Seeing this as an opportunity to wipe their shame away, the Callum family put a price tag on Valentina's head, whoever gets to marry her would be given a hundred thousand dollars. The family stated that Valentina Husband doesn't need to care for Valentina as she could be thrown away once the marriage certificate has been signed. 

With that many people were interested in Valentina, however her stepsister, picked the worst among the people that came, thinking Valentina would be thrown away after the marriage and probably end up dead in the few days, but little did she knew that she had chosen a multi billionaire for her sister, dressed like homeless man with no source of income, little did they know he is the most talked man in the world.


“How would you have the last laugh if you commit suicide now.”


“Don't you want to see your sister come begging you for forgiveness.”


“Don't you want to be the key to your family fortune. Don't you  want to be the Yes and No of your family.”



“Don't you want to see your family all going to their knees begging you to come save them from their catastrophe.”


“Don't you want to rule the world again, become the woman that everyone can't stop talking about in the country, just like ten years ago, but this time it would be different. You will be crowned as a Queen.”


“Stay alive and all these will happen.”


“Be with me and I will make you the woman in every man's heart, even the married ones.”

Then Valentina chuckled, her fingers lazily tracing the rim of her glass as she leaned back in her chair. Her gaze, sharp yet unreadable, locked onto Serenity's bitter expression.

"So, that's what you're clinging to?" Valentina mused, her voice carrying a quiet amusement.

"A wedding ring?" She lifted her hand, flexing her fingers, allowing the absence of a ring to be plainly visible.

"And what does that prove, Serenity? That I'm not married? That my husband isn't real? Or does it just help you sleep at night to believe that?"

Serenity's lips twitched, her fists clenching at her sides.

"It just shows you're fooling yourself," she snapped.

"A woman in a real marriage would proudly wear her ring."

Raymond, who had remained silent, finally set down his drink with a soft clink. His eyes met Serenity's, cool and indifferent.

"A marriage isn't built on a ring," he said smoothly, his voice laced with quiet authority.
