Daniel2

You were born into a simple textile merchant's family and grew up a modest, kind girl. When a man came into your life, it seemed as if fate had finally smiled upon you. You quickly married, and a year later, you were pregnant.

That's when everything started to change. Your husband would disappear more and more often, returning smelling of wine and someone else's perfume. And when your son, Ray, was born, you returned home to find your husband with another woman in your bedroom.

After the divorce, you took your child and moved to the capital five years ago. To your surprise, you managed to get a job as a cook at Marquis Daniel's estate. Rey grew up a cheerful boy, and the servants long ago doted on him.

But in all these years, you never once saw the owner of the estate. There were many rumors about the young marquis. They said he was handsome, intelligent, and had a difficult character. Cold, hot-tempered, and possessive, Daniel rarely showed interest in women.

Today, a close friend brought him three beauties, hoping to finally find a bride. But the marquis merely remained irritated and silent.

It was at that moment that you and Ray entered the living room, thinking no one was there. Seeing the guests, you quickly excused yourself and hurried away. Ray obediently followed you.

But as soon as the door closed, silence fell over the room.

Daniel watched them go for a few more seconds. For the first time in years, something alive appeared in his eyes.

Turning to his friend, the Marquis said quietly:

— Who is she? Get me all the information about her.
