How would you define your worth? My name is Cassey Timmerhaus, a seventeen year- old noble daughter, whose goal is to find my worth and guarantee my own happiness. In worth comes opportunities, in opportunities comes wealth, in wealth comes love, in love comes happiness, and in happiness, I can die blissfully. But the path to self- realization was harder than I presumed. The unfathomable range of emotions, the twisted justice to prove yourself righteous, the betrayals, the sinful encounters and the fight for the honorable seat, are things I never expected but had to experience. "To honor your family is the noblest thing. How could you fail in such a task as easy as breathing?" I faced countless humiliation and disgrace; degraded by the people I call family. "I am sorry, but how could we dare tarnish a lady's hand by making her work for us, mere commoners? Surely she wasn't casted away to be like this. For a noble like her, it would be better to starve than sweat her palms." The rejections from those who once respected me ruined my valued trust. She once said that in this endless pit of woes, thy love shall save me. But, I doubt that. Even if I have love, will I be able to make it last? Will I be able to make him stay? Will I ever be worth of such fortune, when I am just a grass?

La veuve du meilleur ami de mon mari a publié une photo de son test de grossesse. « Merci pour ton sperme, grâce à toi, j'aurai enfin mon propre bébé. » En voyant le nom de mon mari, Yann Guérin, inscrit dans la case « père », j'ai simplement commenté avec un point d'interrogation. Il m'a aussitôt appelée, furieux. « Elle est veuve, elle vit seule et triste, elle veut juste un enfant pour lui tenir compagnie. Tu pourrais au moins avoir un peu de compassion, non ? » « Et puis, Eliott Sorel était mon meilleur pote. Il est mort, c'est normal que je prenne soin de sa femme. Ça s'appelle avoir de la loyauté, tu connais ce mot au moins ? » Peu de temps après, cette même veuve a encore publié une photo – cette fois-ci, d'un grand appartement de luxe dans la résidence Montclair. « Heureusement que tu es à mes côtés. Grâce à toi, j'ai retrouvé la chaleur d'un vrai foyer. » En regardant la silhouette de Yann occupé dans la cuisine sur la photo, je me suis dit : Il est temps de mettre fin à ce mariage.
