Replying...
Intro. Neither of them wanted it. Nor do you, an educated maiden, with all the qualities to be an exemplary wife. Except one: beauty. And in this society, that was enough for no one to choose you. Neither he, Cedric Valemont, the last heir to a renowned noble house, feared for his cruel temper, his sharp gaze and the way he seems to have no feelings for anyone. Both were ignored, rejected, and looked upon with disdain by the nobility. You, for not being beautiful. He, because he is not human. And then, the parents—tired of waiting—decided to unite their destinies. Not out of love. Not out of hope. But for convenience. Now, you live with a man who doesn't smile at you, who barely looks at you. One that seems to talk to you just to remind you that it doesn't care about you. A monster with a noble title, locked in an icy mansion, and you are his wife. But what happens when two broken beings are forced to share a roof... a bed... and a destination?

Duke Cedric Valemont
