Megami No Gosan / Original Title: a SECRET VENGEANCE (Harlequin Image I 2688 Shifuku No Meisaku Sen)

[Machine Translation] Celia's mother had been the mistress of a wealthy man for twenty years. As a child, Celia loved him as if he were her real father, but as an adult, she was ashamed to admit it. So when that man died and his son, Ryuk, came to visit her, she never expected to fall in love with him. Ciria was terribly touched by the fact that Ryuk never scorned her parents' illicit relationship with each other and tried to give her mother the inheritance she deserved. Whatever the reason for their meeting, this was true love. Just when she was convinced of this, the cruel truth was revealed - Ryuk had a fiancee. Was he looking at me as a potential lover, too? Just like my mother...
