Chapter: 8

“Don’t worry. My heart will always belong to you, Millie. By the way, do you really plan to keep wearing the mask even when you’re at the Thomas family’s house?

“I’ll keep wearing the mask. I didn’t choose this marriage; it was thrust upon me. I want Marcus to be disgusted with me, so he has to continue believing that I’m really ugly. Then, once he has enough, he’ll divorce me, and I’ll be free again. In the meantime, I have to track down Leon and persuade him to operate on my grandmother. I’ll only consider this endeavour a success if | manage to convince him.”
