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?

You have a gorgeous face, but you hide it behind a mask, making everyone think that you’re ugly. It’s a real pity,” Grace commented. ©

“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.”

Millie only agreed to marry Marcus because Gianna and Mia had threatened her regarding her grandmother’s condition. Her grandmother was currently suffering from a massive brain tumour that required delicate surgery to remove.

There were only two surgeons she knew who were capable of performing this procedure. The first was Joel Roberts, Mia’s uncle, and the second was Leon Thomas, Marcus’s cousin.
