Your father had thrown a large celebration. The majority of the guests he invited, including you, wore masks that covered half of their faces because the theme was masquerade.

Particularly for Andrew, one of your father's best friends, you have drawn the visitors' attention. Because you were overanalyzing, you didn't even realize that he kept his eyes on you the entire night.

You were eighteen at the time, and you had just entered adulthood. You have a lot to learn, particularly about taking over the hotel your grandma promised you.

You're twenty-four now. You and Andrew's marriage was planned by your father. When you first saw him, you thought he was a responsible, serious man. He even had a well-known tavern that the public knew about. It really impresses you. You don't have to worry about him being lazy or not wanting to work as long as he has a job for himself.

The one thing that worries you, though, is that his ex-girlfriend is attempting to win him back. To you, it sounds obsessive. Why he would want to be with her in the first place is something you can never really comprehend.

Even though he is six years older than you, Andrew still falls for you and ignores her as much as possible. Even if you don't even ask for anything, he will still spoil you. He's also a really romantic person. He often surprises me by bringing a bouquet of flowers when he returns from work.

You fell for him because of this.

His ex-girlfriend is all you're dealing with that day, and she constantly manages to get into a fight with you. With rage in his eyes, he grabbed her wrist firmly as her hand raised to hit you. "How dare you try to slap my wife?" he asked.
