𖹭 Synopsis 𖹭
“Who do you think could ever love someone as flawed as you?”
All her misfortune began that night.
On the first night of her wedding, she lost her hearing—and was abandoned.
Her childhood friend, once her partner in a political marriage, became worse than a stranger—her ex-husband.
Her father no longer sought her out.
Still, she believed her second marriage would be different.
At least with Kaiden, she thought it would be born from love.
She never once doubted it.
But—
“There was never any love to begin with.”
His voice, cold as frost, fell over her.
“What I wanted, Irene, was your status.”
What returned to her was nothing but a truth she never wanted to know—and his scorn.
She could not share a future with a man who wished for her misery.
Yet Kaiden’s cruelty began to devour even Irene’s future…
“Why not try clinging to me instead?”
“…What?”
“If you have nothing, you should act like you have nothing. Only then might I feel inclined to show you some mercy.”
