Leticia whose been living her life quietly in the outskirts of the Kingdom of Otis, met a bloodied man lying on her lawn in the middle of the night.

Deciding to save the man whose identity is still unknown, Leticia did the bare minimum aid and determined to let him go when he gets better.

'Well... I mean, I can't afford to help and sheltered an unknown man when I want to get married, right?!'

But what's this?

Why are you not leaving? And why are you so good at doing household chores?! And you know how to cook too?!

You're making me hesitate to let you go!

The rumored notorious Duke Hugh Naville decided to stay quiet and enjoy the life he has with Leticia until knights came and begged him to go back as his marriage candidates lined up to meet him, plotted for political purposes of the Queen.

Thinking that the Queen shouldn't have his way with his life, Duke Hugh saw Leticia as the best option.

"Leticia... Will you become my lover?"

"Huh? Why would I do that?!"

The response from Leticia made Duke Hugh smile. He became sure that she's the only answer to his crisis.

"I want you to become my fake lover..."

-
But what will happen when suddenly Leticia had a glimpsed of her future and one of those is her life hanging in a thread?

'I should leave before I can, right?'

The Duke's Fraudulent Lover

"That's right. You should thank me! I've been nursing you for two days!"

Anton was flustered to know that he's been out for two days.

While he looked at her silhouette and observed her, he familiarized her figure and stature.

Marites seems to be in her mid-30's, her clothes looks worn out and her hands seem to be used to doing hard labor.

Also, the old worn out house seems to have a stench smell.

Like a combination of rust, alcohol, spoiled food as well as nasty smell of sweat.

However, it didn't matter for Anton since what matters was he survived.

What he needed now was to repay the kindness of the woman who had kindly taken and nursed him.

He frowned as he wanted to sit up but his body was full of bruises as well as tattered fabric that seems to have been used to support his injuries.
