“Why did it have to be you? Because you were the most pitiful and cheapest option.”
She met her so-called savior in the ruined marriage market after her family fell from grace.
Lucas, her husband and a successful businessman, was devoted to Cordelia throughout their marriage—
That is, until the day of their anniversary, when he revealed the truth.
“Did you really have to bankrupt the count’s family?”
“It had to hit rock bottom for a lowly commoner like me to even get close to a noble lady like you.”
The man she thought was her savior turned out to be the very one who destroyed her family.
But instead of remorse, he remained brazen.
“You know what? Being that stupid is practically an illness.”
She loved him too much to forgive.
And just when she resolved to leave him, Cordelia recovers a memory she had lost in an accident.
“I would do anything for you, my lady.”
She finally learns the true reason why her husband approached her…
A love disguised as a false salvation.
And Cordelia’s downfall is far from over.
