Bride Behind The Mask Novel

Chapter 4

To save her grandma, Marguerite was willing to pay a huge price. She would do anything.

But getting married was hard for her. She hesitated, “I don’t have enough identification.“–

“I’ve taken care of it for you,” the voice on the other end said “My guy is waiting for you at the hospital entrance. The last two digits of the license plate are 25 Come down now.”

Marguerite hung up the phone, her mind foggy.

With just a few words, had she entrusted her life to a stranger?

But who was this Frederick? Why was he so keen on marrying her?

Marguerite was puzzled.

But she couldn’t afford to ponder these questions. Her grandma’s life was at stake.

She took one last look at her unconscious grandma in the hospital room, then made up her mind and left.

But just as she was about to step out, Zoe and Ablett appeared in front of her, blocking her way.

Marguerite’s heart leapt. “Mom, Dad, have you decided to save grandma?”

If Zoe and Ablett were willing to save grandma, she wouldn’t have to marry this stranger called Frederick.

But Zoe slapped Marguerite across the face. The burning pain seared across her cheek.

“Dream on! Do you know that Yuna was almost taken away by Hanley because of you? You should be with Hanley, not causing us trouble, you wretch! Put this mask on!”

Zoe tossed a human–skin mask at Marguerite.
