Prologue

In the opulent world of aristocracy, tradition reigned supreme. Emily, a young woman of impeccable lineage, found herself bound by duty to an arranged marriage with the enigmatic and powerful Duke of Hawthorne. As the day of the ceremony approached, Emily's heart filled with a mix of trepidation and anticipation. She had never met her intended husband, but his reputation as a ruthless businessman and aloof aristocrat preceded him.

The Arranged Marriage

On a cold winter's day, Emily and the Duke exchanged vows in a grand cathedral. The ceremony was a spectacle of wealth and splendor, yet Emily couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss. Her new husband, Edward Hawthorne, was distant and unsmiling, his piercing gaze scrutinizing her every move. As they embarked on their married life, Edward's coldness towards Emily only intensified. He treated her with indifference, as if she were nothing more than a pawn in his aristocratic game.

Ethan's gentle nature and unwavering support ignited a forbidden passion within Emily's heart. Their secret encounters became a sanctuary away from the loveless union she was trapped in. But their forbidden love affair was not without its perils. Edward, known for his ruthless streak, would stop at nothing to protect his reputation and maintain control over his wife.
