A marriage. To a man who had saved my parents' life. Their respect, their businesses, their home ... But at a cost. The cost being me.

And now, I was to marry a stranger to save my parents' life. There was no real choice to make.
Why show me how glorious my life could be, if I were never meant to live it?
