Summary
Selena, born into a family famed for its fertility, finds herself sold into a contract marriage with a sickly duke. Her sole purpose: to bear an heir for his ailing lineage. Despite ancient remedies and astrological guidance, a child remains elusive, leaving Selena branded as useless by her new family. But Selena harbors a secret resolve: she’ll nurse her frail husband back to health, then discreetly annul their marriage and reclaim her freedom.
She dedicates herself to his recovery, meticulously preparing nutritious meals, overseeing his exercise, and even taste-testing suspicious dishes. Her efforts pay off, and the duke, once on death’s door, transforms into a picture of robust health. Yet, just as Selena prepares to sign her annulment papers, her ‘former’ husband reveals a startling change of heart.
“You agreed to a contract to bear me an heir,” he declares, a dangerous glint in his now-healthy eyes. “To think you would go back on your words…”
He’s no longer the weak man she pitied, but a formidable presence who refuses to let her go. “We aren’t divorced yet,” he smirks, tossing a paper her way. Selena’s plan for freedom has just taken an unexpected, and rather possessive, turn. Dive into chapter 1 to see how Selena navigates her new, complicated reality!
