One day, cracks began to form in Olivia’s blissful, dreamlike six-month marriage.
The reason? She discovered a secret letter in her contract husband Edmund’s study.
“I am in love with you, Eve.”
The moment Olivia read the letter, she knew.
Her beloved husband had a hidden lover.
This meant that Edmund had violated the terms of their contract marriage.
[Clause 3 of the Contract Marriage: Both parties must remain faithful to their spouse and shall not take a lover.]
The clause was clearly written in Edmund’s handwriting, signed by Olivia, and sealed with a sacred vow. And yet…
“About tonight… I’d like to honor our agreement.”
“Not with that body of yours.”
Edmund dismissed her outright, his refusal as firm as it was cold.
“But I want to… Can’t I?”
A feeble excuse slipped through her lips, unable to express her true feelings. It was a pathetic reason that failed to sway Edmund’s heart in the slightest.
“Do you even realize what you’re saying right now?”
Edmund leaned in, his face so close it seemed like he might kiss her.
Olivia, unable to blink, stared at the elegant man whose face was now inches away from hers.
