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

Hamilton, on the other hand, was the eldest son and heir of the prestigious Fowler family, the true master of its empire.

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

It was Hamilton, passing by, who found her.
