I had never been particularly interested in women due to my demanding career, but Janis captivated me in ways I couldn’t ignore. She brought a rare peace to my chaotic mind, allowing me to breathe freely for a moment. Still, I was unprepared for the emotions she stirred within me. ~ Janis ~. I have faced significant hardships for most of my life. Losing my parents in my teens left me to care for my baby brother under our frail grandmother's careful watch. Now that my brother is eight, I shoulder the family's responsibilities, working two jobs to make ends meet. At twenty-four, the weight of the world rests heavily on my shoulders. When my grandmother falls ill, it adds to my burdens at the worst possible time, leading me down a path toward destruction. Struggling financially, I become a target for thugs demanding loan money. When I’m unable to repay them, they resort to violence and threaten my family, pushing me into a corner where they want me to agree to a relationship with their boss. In desperation, I reached out to Becca, who contacts Bai Chen for his medical expertise. He takes me and my family into his home for safety, and to protect me from further danger, he marries me. This unexpected union leads us both to a sense of peace and acceptance neither of us has ever felt before. The love is there if we’re brave enough to embrace it. less
