As an escaped slave on an island, Aubrey Sandalwood had only one goal.

To become the perfect lady, hiding her past as a slave. But at her much-anticipated first party, she was reunited with the man she never expected.

“Take me with you.”

The boy who saved her life on the island. and now the only man who knew her past.

“Please…… don’t tell anyone.”

“If I don’t tell, what will I get?”

The price of taking the s*ave’s hand and running away with her.

The man had wanted it. It was the beginning of a bitter relationship.

The illegitimate son of the Duke of Carnus, a replacement for the sickly heir. Nevertheless, he grew up to be a capable businessman. There was no way to beat the man who had succeeded by any means necessary.

There was only one answer.

“I want you to disappear.”

“…….”

“You’re a nuisance.”

True to his word, Aubrey was gone.

When he least wanted her to.
