With a dagger hidden in her sleeve and her heart already dead, she waited in the bridal sedan for the truth to come out, ready to fight him to the death.
But when he lifted her veil, she was met not with thunderous fury, but with his amused, low chuckle. “My enemy has actually sent me quite the treasure.”
From then on, she tread carefully, struggling to survive in the prince's estate, where the waters ran deep. Before she knew it, she had become the one and only woman he kept close at hand.
