"Sold to the handsome man at the back!"
Adeline Thomas, with her wide, expressive blue set of eyes, was sold off in the market by her father at a very young age. She was bought by the Wilde household where she served the two Wilde daughters. All was going well until she turned fifteen. When her promising good looks and feminine charm blossomed into a full bloom.
Her rose soft lips, her curvy form and her big innocent eyes caught the attention of every man in close proximity and in a distance. Including the Lord of the Wilde Manor's. Lord Stanley Wilde was plum man with an unhealthy obssession with alochol who had no loyal bone in his bulky form.
Adeline, the very young vigin, became his new prey. Day after day, he stalked her around the mansion taunting her with sick words and rough caresses. And finally, the day came where he attempted to take his teasing to a whole another level.
It was a tuesday when he attacked her in the most primal level. The day of the week when his wife and daughters went out to the market along with the servants. That day, Adeline was requested to stay back to take care of the Lord since he wasn't feeling well.
Fortunately, she was saved by the unanticipated return of Lady Wilde who was not very happy with her behaviour. Once more, she was sold off in the market where she was bought by the 'handsome man in the back' who had assigned a prepasterous job...the seduction of his dear friend.
"You will marry me and seduce Aaron William. When he finally falls deeply in love with you...you will abandon him in the most hurtful manner and come back to me. And that, my darling, is called revenge."
As Claire aims to leave her oppressive stepfamily behind, she befriends Zion. Will he be her ticket to freedom or a distraction in achieving her dreams?
