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. | didn’t choose this marriage; it was thrust upon me. | 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, | 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.

Leon was a mysterious person who was much spoken of but rarely seen in public.

Before she found him, Millie was set on having her grandmother operated on by Joel. It was because of it that she let Mia have complete authority over her.

Unfortunately, Joel would not agree to operate on her grandmother unless she married Marcus as a stand-in for Mia. Mia, being the proud woman that she was, refused to marry Marcus because he was known to be a useless cripple.

She did not wish to wed Marcus, but Gianna had her eyes set on a piece of land given by the Thomas family as a gift for the union, so the two women concocted a plan in which Millie would marry Marcus instead.

After she and Grace finished their conversation, Millie realized she was thirsty. She looked around the room for water, but there was not a single drop of water inside the pitcher that she found. She had no choice but to go downstairs.

When Millie got to the first floor, she stopped a passing servant. The house was big, and she did not know where the kitchen was, so she had to ask for directions.

“I'm thirsty. Can you tellwhere the kitchen is?” Millie asked.

The servant stared intently at Millie's face, trying to see the hideous scar beneath her mask. Only when Millie frowned did she realize she was being rude.

“Of course, madam. Please follow me,” the servant replied.

Millie cast a backward glance as they walked toward the kitchen. The servant had been staring oddly at a certain room earlier. It made her think that something was hidden inside it.

Once they reached the kitchen, Millie instructed, “There’s a pitcher in the bedroom. Can you please fill it with water?”

After dismissing the servant, she poured herself a glass of water and drank it. She then walked out of the kitchen and toward the direction the servant had been staring at earlier.

The door to the room was slightly ajar.
