The cover looks romatic indeed. Feels like somewhere in paradise popping a bottle of wine watching the sunset with someone you love.
Gosh, you are making me excited now. I'm going to play the guessing game too. How fun! lol
Marsha might have known Grate from her circle of friends. If she is the type that likes to befriend the rich because she's not rich herself but like having others see her as that. She ran out of money and is desperate (Of course if she is going to sell her own daughter) and had probably eyed Grate for sometime because he is super rich. She might go to him directly and Grate probably agree to give her on one condition if Matt is included in the bargain. Matt/Grate might have already met and don't like each other so Grate would give Marsha all the amount she needs inorder to have Matt. Oh, yes, with the storyline there's going to be a "r" scene.
And honestly, I don't see Matt as the weak N'ek in here. She might not be crazy like in Kularb Rai (Which I don't think she'll ever top that) but she's not going to be weak where Pra'ek is going to step all over her. She's going to fight back with Grate because she thinks she's being unfairly treated. Yeah, a
possessive Grate is going to be good. Since he did purchase her, he thinks she is rightfully his. And if Matt already has a boyfriend to begin with it'll even be more interesting.
