Summary
Before he uncovered who she truly was, he looked down on her with disdain—viewing her as nothing more than a nuisance. She wasn’t graceful enough, she didn’t meet his standards, and her presence annoyed him. He dismissed her, belittled her, and cast her aside without a second thought.
Only when the truth surfaced did the harsh reality hit him—she wasn’t just anyone. She was the very woman he had legally married.
Regret came too late. As he tried to mend what he had broken, she had already made up her mind. Her heart had closed, and the only thing she wanted now… was freedom through divorce.
