Summary
Astelle’s hopes for a happy marriage were shattered in an instant. She had dedicated years to becoming Kaizen’s wife, only to be cast aside in disgrace. Abandoned by the crown and the man she once adored, she told one last lie: “You’re right. I never loved you.” Though he had been her entire world, she turned away—until she discovered a life-changing secret. Years later, when Kaizen found her again, she was forced to deceive him once more to protect the child she had kept hidden all along.
