Natalia’s spine stiffened, a chill creeping up her back.

Three years ago, her mother was in a terrible car accident and needed money urgently. Natalia had swallowed her pride and gone to her biological father’s mansion to ask for help.

She had collapsed after kneeling outside the opulent mansion for an entire night, without a penny to her name.
