Summary
After a long absence, the husband returned home with a woman. Chloe knew who she was without needing an introduction. The kingdom’s Cinderella. The husband’s first love and the woman who should have been his wife. “You know how much I love Helena. I’ve played your husband without issue for the past year, now let me live my life.” He shamelessly continued his affair in his quest to reclaim his lost life. “Family, friends, honor… to lose it all. The princess lived a truly tragic life.” The voice that once masqueraded as a friend was now nowhere to be found. Chloe, shrinking at the harsh tone, inadvertently looked up. Eyes that seemed more fitting for a beast, fixed and intense, met hers. The deep emotions emanating from those red eyes were unlike anything Chloe had ever felt. “If that woman is the kingdom’s Cinderella, then I will make you the Cinderella of the century.” “…” “So come to me. Princess.” I will give this empire to the princess. Perhaps due to heightened sensitivity, Chloe felt as if she heard the unspoken cry from within.
