Summary
After being betrayed by my own family and husband for their greed, I was given a second chance at life. Determined to protect myself and my fortune, I entered a temporary marriage with the famously detached Grand Duke Lapireon. Our agreement was clear: one year together, then a clean separation. But he soon whispers, “Did you truly think I would let you go?” Now estates, mines, and kingdoms are laid at my feet. “Was Theo causing trouble?” he inquires. “Mother, don’t leave,” our child begs. “I need you, sister,” another pleads. My new in-laws are utterly devoted, and they refuse to let me slip away.
