Plot
Evelyn is the illegitimate daughter of the Athanasius family, one of the empire’s four great dukedoms.
For her, marriage to Mikhail—the richest man in the empire—wasn’t a political move, but a way to escape and start a happy life.
“Did you really think I loved you?”
But on their wedding night, Mikhail’s cold words shattered her hopes and dreams.
“Maybe one day, I’ll have a good day too…”
She endured for three years.
But then—
“You probably have only about three years left to live.”
Evelyn finds out she’s pregnant—with a man who never loved her.
“…Let’s get divorced.”
In the end, she tells her cold husband she wants to leave.
After all, even if she died, he wouldn’t shed a tear.
But then… why?
“Bell… I’m hurting. A lot.”
Why is that same man now clinging to her so desperately?
And why does he look so sick?
…Something seems very wrong with the husband she meets again after three years.
It’s a nice novel. Thank you very much
