"Honey, I want a divorce"

In the presidential suite, Candace Flaming felt a stabbing pain in her body, which spread to her arms and legs. In the darkness of the room, she finally regained her senses and came back to reality.

Looking around, Candace realized that something was wrong. Just a few minutes ago she had been at a party with her older sister, but now... she was in an extra room.

Without moving, Candace suddenly felt a sort of grip on her waist. Looking down, she panicked and tried to break free. Unfortunately her effort was futile.

The slender and strong arms held her like a trophy. Soon the pain in her body was fruitless and prevented her from continuing her struggle with the man lying behind her.

"No, let me go! Let me go!"

However, the man, who had been abstinent for many years, transformed himself into a ferocious wolf ready to devour her completely. With his strength and hunger, the delicate girl lay beneath him as heaving breaths flooded the room.

Soon the minutes ticked by and Candace felt like hell, until finally the man loosened his grip. It was obvious that the man had exhausted himself. Immediately she rose slightly from the bed, with pain in her bones she dressed and fled the room.

When Candace finally escaped, a delicate, feminine figure suddenly appeared in a corner of the hotel. Ruby Flaming, who was staring at Candace's back with a cynical gleam in her eye.

"Damn it Candace. If I had been a virgin, that bitch could never have spent the night with my fiancé..." Ruby said to herself, as a sinister smile crossed her senses.

Opening his eyes, the man discovered that the woman he had spent the night with had been Ruby. After all, she was lying next to him with a triumphant smile on her face.

Exhilarated, he hugged her tightly and continued to sleep. Apparently she was the virgin he had been promised.

Meanwhile, Candace had been running for a long time, until her legs were shaking with exhaustion and her breathing was completely labored. She pulled out her phone and tried to call her adoptive mother.

She just wanted to know what the hell had happened that night! She was supposed to have gone to her sister Ruby's graduation party, but, in her memory, there was only the memory of Ruby offering her a glass of champagne.

After drinking the glass, Candace began to feel dizzy until her vision blurred. In desperation, Candace called out to Ruby for help, but she only put her arm around her and led her to a hotel room to rest.

But, when she regained consciousness, she was in bed with that nefarious man!

The phone rang for a while, but no one answered. Before Candace could try again, however, a loud roar snorted her senses behind her.

Soon, a bright, shocking light suddenly appeared on the scene. Candace turned in astonishment and saw a red car frantically coming towards her.

Boom!

Before Candace could react, her body had been hit by a strong pressure. At the last moment, before she hit the ground, Candace caught a glimpse of the person behind the wheel, her mother Fanny Flaming.

Fanny's cynical smile was the same as the one she expressed the day she decided to adopt Candace 13 years ago in that accident.

Candace thought Fanny had saved her from a life of hell, but she never expected that day to mark the day of her real nightmare....

In fact, Fanny had never loved Candace. She had only stayed with her as a kind of guarantee for her daughter Ruby. After all, Candace and Ruby had the same blood type, and Ruby's health was deteriorating.

Fanny had previously cared for Candace until Ruby refused and, in desperation, forced Candace to donate a kidney to Ruby. After that, Fanny simply locked Candace in the basement and treated her like a dog.

But with all that, Candace never expected that woman to run her over!

She simply felt the shiver run through her body, as her eyes closed and her consciousness slowly began to fade.

***

6 years later.

At the international airport, a woman was dressed in a black, fitted, black dress that accentuated her long, beautiful legs. On her face she wore dark glasses that perfectly adorned her angelic and mysterious appearance.

The woman walked without looking to the sides, ignoring the crowd that admired her from a distance.

Soon she stopped, and lowered the sunglasses to her nose, while gently stroking her hair back and expressing a sweet smile on her face.

Upon seeing her, the driver quickly got out of the car and introduced himself to her. "Good morning, Miss Candace".

"Good morning James" she said before hearing her phone ring.

"Honey, have you arrived? I left you a present, do you like it? I'll find a place for you to stay. The driver will take you. I hope you enjoy your time there" Scott said adoringly.

Candace immediately looked up and noticed the black ferrari as she frowned.

The reality was that she had not gone there for luxury or sightseeing. She had gone for a more sinister reason. However, she wasn't going to let Scott down.

"Thank you so much, I love it!" she said.

It was the first time Candace had received such a gift. She knew Scott was wealthy, but, she was not an interested woman.

"When are you coming back?" Scott suddenly asked.

"I'm not sure. It might take me a while to find out who Daisy's father is" she said after a moment's thought.

"Honey, I could be Daisy's father. You don't have to go through with this" he added.

Scott knew Candace was a little overwhelmed, so it was understandable that she would want to know who her daughter's father was. Therefore, he decided to end the subject and just wished her luck in her search.

After hanging up the phone, Candace sighed lightly. She knew Scott was an excellent friend, but, she had a purpose to fulfill at the moment and no one could intervene.

Thinking a bit, Candace snapped back to reality and climbed into the ferrari. The drive was longer and more tedious than she remembered.

She had lived in that town since her father died and Fanny decided to adopt her, but, she never understood why that woman and Ruby had done that 6 years ago.

For 6 years, Candace suffered from terrible nightmares, remembering that night that man tore beneath her legs, while she felt that stabbing pain break her virginity.

She just wanted to go back for the man that night and get revenge on everyone involved.

Candace could never forget her past, and finally decided to gather her strength to go back.

Inside the car, Candace closed her eyes and sighed deeply. Meanwhile, the chauffeur drove her to a residential complex. The flat was spotlessly clean, and furnished.

Scott had really taken things seriously. He had arranged everything for her. After all, he had influence all over the country, but Candace never thought that in her small town Scott had power, too.

Without even unpacking, Candace sat down on the couch and dialed a video call. Immediately on the screen the figure of a sweet little girl appeared with a beautiful smile.

The little girl was fair-skinned and blue-eyed. Her gaze was adorable, and she was dressed in fluffy pajamas with two pigtails in her long, silky blonde hair.

"Mommy, I missed you so much!"

At the sound of Daisy's voice Candace's heart was immediately smitten, "Princess, I missed you too!"

It was the first time Candace had ever been separated from Daisy. She didn't even know if she could bear it. "Daughter, you must listen to Nolan, do you understand? I'll be back with you soon"

"It's okay mommy. I'm a big girl now. Take care of yourself, don't be late! " said the beautiful girl in her childish and adorable voice.

Daisy was 5 years old, but her mother had given her a rather advanced education for her age.

"Tell me little girl, where is your Uncle Nolan?" asked Candace after a brief silence.

"He's here!" Daisy said as the bustle of the phone ringing back and forth could be heard.

"Candace!"

"Nolan, thank you for taking care of Daisy," she said.

Candace knew her trip would not be pleasant for a little girl, so she had no choice but to leave Daisy with Nolan, the man who had rescued her 6 years ago.

Nolan's eyes brightened at the sound of Candace's beautiful voice. She was so beautiful, just the thought of her made his world spin. "Don't thank me. It's my pleasure"

It was heaven for Scott to take care of the little girl. He considered her as his own daughter, after all, he had seen her born and been with her every day.

"Mommy, Mommy, come back soon... Uncle Nolan said he wanted to be my daddy!" Daisy's sudden distant cry came over the phone.

At that, Candace froze for a second and smiled tenderly.

"No, no.. Daisy's just joking...I'm not..." Nolan's voice became embarrassed and his words stalled for a moment. "Daisy's just joking" he said as his cheeks flushed.

"It's not true! Tell her the truth or she'll love another man!" Daisy shouted again.

Candace smiled into the end of the phone, and imagined Nolan's embarrassed face at Daisy's words.

"Please, Nolan call me if anything happens" she said obliviously before hanging up the call.

When Candace put the phone down, she lay down on the couch and her thoughts of the past suddenly came to her.

At first she didn't want to have her daughter, but, as she felt her kicks and her heart beating inside her belly, she changed her mind completely.

That little girl was innocent. However, her pregnancy was hard enough, but, when she gave birth, Candace saw in Daisy a new reason to live.

However, when Daisy turned 3, she was diagnosed with a rare disease that required a transplant from a close relative.

At that news, Candace scoured every hospital in the country looking for a donor, but unfortunately she was unsuccessful. After some thought, Candace had an idea, to find Daisy's father.

With that in mind, Candace began a thorough investigation as she got up from the couch. She still remembered that night on Ruby's birthday. Ruby had abandoned her in that hotel room with a client.

Apparently that man was a partner in the Flaming family business, and they were expanding their contract at the time. With that clue, Candace decided to investigate the man.

After some hesitation, she picked up her phone and dialed Scott's number. He knew a lot of people after all.

"Honey? did something happen? why the at this hour?" Scott's voice came over the phone.

"Scott, I need your help... Use your contacts and check out a person?" she said quickly.

Noting Candace's interest, Scott saddened slightly and frowned disdainfully, "You want me to check out Daisy's father?"

"Maybe?" Candace said as she gave the man's description.

In the past, there had been very few men who had worked with the Flaming's company, so Candace knew it would not be a difficult job.

However, Scott was a little annoyed by the request, "All right, I'll do it right away".

Although he was reluctant to accept Candace's words, he did not want to disappoint her and calmly complied.

Soon an hour passed, and as expected, Scott sent Candace's mail several documents.

Upon receiving the information, Candace went through each page and frowned, until finally there was only one file left, the one on Mr. Castle.

In the corner of the document was a picture of a man in his late fifties, Galileo Castle, of the Castle Mort group.

While she was concentrating on the file, a sudden call came into her phone.

"Candace, are you sure this man is Daisy's father? That man has been through 8 marriages! They say he has a mistress in every town! He's a total playboy! " Scott said, amazed at the man's life.

Candace still held the file in her hands. There was all the information on Galileo, his children, his wife and his blood types.

"I got it, find out where Galileo is right now" she asked with a deep sigh.

In less than 20 minutes Scott had managed to get the man's location. Meanwhile Candace got up from her couch and reached for her coat. she was ready to face the man.
