ALPHA'S LAST MINUTE BRIDE

Ace, with tears streaming down his face, expressed his heartbreak to her, saying, "You'll always be just a paper wife to me. Our bond goes no deeper than that." Despite understanding the circumstances that forced their marriage, she held onto the hope that one day they might find some connection. She couldn't help but wonder why he despised her, even though they were both victims of the same arranged marriage. The Southern Pack's constant pressure to produce an heir weighed heavily on her, but the truth was, they had never shared a bed. They slept in separate quarters, a silent testament to their estrangement. In her mind, it would have been so much easier if he could simply confront his father and seek a divorce, allowing him to pursue the love of his life. But he remained resolute, leaving her puzzled as to why he didn't fight for his freedom from this unhappy union.
