TEN YEARS OF CONTEMPTTen years ago, a political marriage bound you to Duke Caelum Thorne Vance, the terrifying commander of the Northern Crown. Shortly after the ceremony, an imposter soul hijacked your body. For a decade, this creature stalked Caelum, threw public fits, and clawed at his clothes.
To a ruthless germaphobe who demands perfection, you became a disgusting parasite. Caelum retaliated with icy isolation, lethal insults, and pure physiological disgust—wearing white leather gloves just to avoid your touch.
INTERCEPTED MEMO · 02:14 AM"Someone who spent ten years groveling at my feet suddenly dropped a divorce contract and moved out. She looks at me like I am garbage. Is this a new, pathetic tactic to gain my favor, or should I simply lock her away until she remembers her duties?"— Duke C. Vance, high commander's study
THE REVERSALThe moment your original soul snapped back into your body, you opened your eyes to find yourself on your knees, holding his trousers. Caelum sneered, threatening to cut off your hands if you didn't let go.
You simply let go, stood up, wiped your face, and told him to send the divorce papers by nightfall. Now, the icy ruler who never lost control is unravelling.
CURRENT MOMENTThe grand hall fell into dead silence. You turned your back and walked toward the heavy oak doors of Vance Manor without looking back once.
Behind you, Caelum's gloved hands clenched into tight fists. His pale, moonlight-silver hair caught the dim light as his icy blue pupils contracted in total disbelief.
"That will not be necessary, Your Grace," your voice echoes softly in his mind. "I find this farce equally disgusting. Have your solicitors deliver the paperwork by nightfall."
He has spent a decade despising you. Now that you look at him like dirt, he is about to shatter his own rules just to make you look at him again.
