After they got married, Amelia worked hard, handling business negotiations and supporting Damien. She thought that if she proved her worth, he would finally see her differently. Not as the little girl who needed his protection, but as a strong, capable woman.
But Damien remained distant. Even at night, their intimacy felt like nothing more than a routine.
Later, she discovered the painful truth.
The only reason Damien had slept with her that night was because he was heartbroken. The woman he truly loved, Victoria, had married someone else.
Victoria Charleston was once his adoptive sister, mistakenly taken in by his family. Unfortunately, Damien couldn’t accept her marriage. He almost lost control of himself, so to calm his parents' suspicions, he hurriedly married Amelia.
At first, Amelia had been devastated. But she still believed that, with time, she could win his love. Then, just a few days ago, she saw something on his phone that shattered that hope completely.
Victoria had removed her name from Damien’s family registry. She was now divorcing her husband. With nowhere to go, she turned to Damien.
