Taken by a Brooding Man [GB]

Andi believes the ideal boyfriend is one you replace every three months, with a monthly replacement as the next best option and an annual one as the worst.

She originally planned to keep dating until she turned a hundred and could no longer move around on her own.

But at twenty-seven, she got married.

1.

When Andi first met Vilius, he was dressed in an old-fashioned style, behaved impeccably, and had a pure, clear gaze. He was exactly like the young imperial nobleman in Andi's rigid stereotype.

Apart from his young, handsome looks, there wasn't much to say about him.

That is, until they were alone in the cramped cabin. Vilius hooked an arm around Andi's neck, dropped his conservative disguise, and softly asked, "Teach me."

So Andi granted his wish.

After all, she was a kind and helpful young woman!

Andi had always remembered one rule: never date powerful men from influential families. It was too easy to get trapped with no way out.

So she had never planned to start a relationship with Vilius, even though he was exactly her type.

Between them, it was simply a matter of satisfying each other's needs in a vulgar moment of passion.

But Andi hadn't expected Vilius to go back on his word. A fleeting moment of tenderness between them wasn't enough for him.

Under the pretext of a political marriage, he forced her to marry him.

2.

Vilius once had three secrets.

After meeting Andi, he had only two.

Andi gave him long-missed pleasure and contentment, but also left him with lasting worries and regrets.

Her heart was no captive, and what he had forcibly kept in his hands was no more than the moon's reflection on the water.

He knew that no matter how marriage bound them together, he could never imprison a soul's freedom for an entire lifetime.

So he hid a seed belonging to Andi in his belly.

Even if they signed divorce papers one day, their flesh and blood would mingle to create a new life, and would never be separated again.

3.

In Andi's eyes, Vilius had been pampered since childhood. He knew nothing of life's hardships, and had never been denied anything he wanted.

Their marriage, which he held in his grasp, was proof enough.

From beginning to end, he had always been the one with the upper hand.

She had never imagined that one day Vilius would be curled up on the floor, struggling to raise his face as he reached out and clutched the hem of her clothes. Protecting his slightly swollen belly, he would cry to her:

"I've already agreed to divorce you. You can have anything else you want. I only beg you, save it."

Andi:

#What to do when you're forced to marry#

#How to get your husband to agree to a divorce#

#Can men get pregnant#

After the wedding.

Andi opened The One Hundred Dangerous Behaviors That Destroy a Marriage.

After reading it carefully, she told her best friend, "Today, I'll definitely get Vilius to agree to a divorce."

The next day.

Her friend asked, "Didn't you say you could get Vilius to agree today? What's that on you?"

Andi tugged at her clothes to hide the marks. "Just fulfilling my marital duties. I have my own pace. Trust me."
