Revenge of the Hideous Lady by Moonlight

Xyla Quest lost all her good habits ever since she got together with Stanley Batton because he would handle everything for her under any circumstances and at any time. She never had to worry about these things.

She felt she could do anything before he came into her life, but now, she had lost the ability to do anything except for making money.

Red roses decorated its path, making it seem like a garden in her dreams.
