“Is that so? Can I truly choose my own destiny?” “Absolutely. That’s exactly what I’m doing, and no one is going to stop me,” Edward replied, his voice calm but resolute. “You can follow one path, or you can explore different directions—neither is incorrect.” “Edward, you—” Abigail began, her voice catching as she gazed at him in awe. “I’m what?” he asked, a teasing smile tugging at his lips. “You know, I really admire the way you think,” she said softly. “It’s not just my thinking. It’s my way of life. So, what’s your decision?” he asked, extending his hand to her. Abigail looked at his hand, her heart pounding. It’s my story, after all. If I could shape the path that lies ahead of us after this encounter... You can hear the pages turning in this story. And they will resonate with my steps moving towards Destiny, she thought, as she reached out and accepted his hand. Abigail has always been marked—by her striking red hair, by whispers of misfortune, and by the cruel rejection of her own parents who branded her a curse. Seeking solace and a fresh start, she agrees to marry James Ulrick, her charming coworker and boyfriend, during a lavish Christmas cruise meant to symbolize new beginnings. But fate has other plans. On the eve of her wedding, Abigail discovers James entangled in betrayal—with her former classmate and friend. Heartbroken and humiliated, she flees the celebration, only to find unexpected comfort in the arms of a mysterious stranger: Edward Ulrick. Sophisticated, magnetic, and unknowingly tied to her shattered world, Edward offers her one night of escape beneath the stars. What was meant to be a fleeting moment of solace becomes a turning point. Weeks later, Abigail learns she’s pregnant—with Edward’s child. But Edward isn’t just anyone. He’s the enigmatic CEO of the country’s largest conglomerate… and James’s uncle. Now, caught between scandal, legacy, and a child that could unite or destroy a powerful family and decide for her own fate.
