"Boss, Miss Valencia is gone. However, we found this letter at Miss Valencia's apartment."

Maverick's eyes narrowed upon hearing Cliff's explanation, yet he said nothing. Instead, he opened the letter, his actions fearfully calm.

Dear… No. Asshole billionaire Maverick Vandenberg,

You're a jerk! The biggest scum of all. I'm Valencia, myself; how dare you make me a substitute for a random woman? Since you dare, why don't you marry your woman today? F*** you. The biggest regret of my life is sacrificing my youth for you, you asshole. Why don't you enjoy being humiliated today? The youngest genius billionaire, Maverick, is let down by his bride. Oh, what a delightful caption. Hehehe.

___ 

Never did Valencia expect that what her crush thought of her was a substitute for another woman. 

And never did she expect that the asshole would break the news to her after she gave herself to him a night before their wedding. 

Unable to take in the heartbreak, Valencia fled on her wedding day. 

Fast-forward to five years later; Valencia is now the anonymous owner of a company and the diligent mother of smart-ass quadruplets who think mom is the best and shouldn't be stressed.

And the most important thing: Mom needs a capable boyfriend. 

Someone dared to attack their mommy? Mom will face-slap, and if Mom can't, Quadruplet will!  

A certain shameless man: ‘Darling, relax; I'll properly beat them up for you. After the beating, what do you think we should have next—a triplet or a sextuplet?’

Valencia: “….”

Smartass quadruplets: Didn't you consider Mom to be a substitute? Scram. We don't recognize you!
