Summary
My fate was sealed: the ill-fated duchess, destined to be brutally murdered by my own husband—the cunning mastermind and final villain of the novel. Knowing my tragic end, my only goal was to play the part of a detached, business-like wife until our pre-arranged divorce. But one fateful night, a single, regrettable mistake shattered my carefully laid plans.
“That night, it was a mistake,” I declared, desperate to maintain my distance. Yet, from that moment on, the Duke, my soon-to-be ex-husband, began to act… strangely. “Do you not remember?” he’d challenge, his gaze intense. “If you think it was a mistake, let’s check. Do it again.” Before I knew it, I was back in his arms, realizing too late that his embrace, once thought cold and calculating, was unexpectedly warm.
Our relationship, once on a clear path to separation, has taken an irreversible turn. Husband, why are you suddenly so obsessed when we had an agreement? Unravel the mystery of the Duke’s sudden change of heart in Chapter 1!
