Chapter 2

Rosalie lowered her head, smiling bitterly.

What else could she ask for? She was sure she had exhausted all the luck in her life to get a chance to marry the man before her.

Her parents were ordinary employees at SK Enterprise. They had been trapped in the control room during a fire, but had managed to shut down the critical systems before they died. Their actions prevented the release of toxic substances and avoided more casualties.

The media had reported on the incident for several days straight, sharing recordings of her parents‘ last conversation with the outside world.

Orphaned at the age of ten, Rosalie was taken in by her aunt, who was the only option available. However, the woman smoked, drank, and gambled. A year later, Rosalie’s aunt squandered all the money SK Enterprise had given the young girl to compensate for the loss of her parents.

When Rosalie was eleven years old, her aunt dumped her at the doorstep of SK Enterprise.
