He searched far and wide, at every orphanage, in every brothel, every school and cathedral He could find, he searched virtually every place he could think of that she could be, but he just could not find her.

To make matters worse, he met her at an auction house, as a slave, who was about to be sold to the highest bidder.
He is forced to pay a crazy sum of money to have her, not just because of the memories he had of her, but also because she was his soulmate, the one destined to be with him by the moon goddess! Super Rich Man
