“Lucille Celeste's voice rang out in anguish as she hit the ground, "How could you betray me like this!" For years, she had endured relentless abuse and torment at the hands of her own family, trapped in a nightmare with no escape. After 23 years of suffering, she had finally discovered the warmth of love, only to have it cruelly snatched away, leaving her feeling like a shattered cart. In her darkest moments, she screamed a vow that she would never again allow herself to be shackled to this family, never again to open her heart only to have it shattered, and never again to be a pawn in someone else's game. If fate granted her another opportunity, she would seize it with both hands and live it to the fullest. "What kind of shameless woman is this?" Duke Blake mused, his expression icy as he regarded her. I couldn't help but chuckle; the duke's thoughts were truly interesting.”
