Charlotte Bourbon, a 19-year-old widow, was happy in her life after she got married to the man of her dreams. However, because of a sudden illness, her husband died within a month, and Charlotte's life came to a sudden halt. 

‘She became the curse for her husband that he died young.’

‘She is the one, who killed her husband.’

‘She should have died with her husband.’

Numerous such things Charlotte would hear from the people around her in the palace when she decided to take her life. However, was it that easy to die?

Édouard Bourdillon was the eldest son of King Christian Bourdillon of the Kingdom of Escana. He decided to marry the widow of his late younger brother so that he could take over the Beromont territory which his brother possessed. 

But was this the only reason he wanted to marry Charlotte?

"What are you doing?" Terrified Charlotte asked as she saw Édouard unbuttoning his shirt. 

"I am hot, so I am taking off the shirt," Édouard said and reached for the last button. 

"But it's cold weather," Charlotte said and knitted her brows. 

"Not here, Charlotte. Your mere presence around me makes me hot," Édouard said and took off the shirt. 

"Ahhh!" Charlotte quickly brought her hands in front of her eyes and covered them. From the gaps between her fingers, she peeked out of curiosity. 

A lump formed in her throat as she saw his perfectly carved body with a few scars on the chest and near the abdomen. 

Charlotte saw him approaching her and she tightly shut her eyes. A few seconds later, when she realized everything was so quiet, she opened her eyes again and found him before her. 

She promptly moved back and hit the wall behind her. She thought to leave the room when Édouard caged her petite body between his arms. 

"Are you going to—" 

"Yes. I want to be wild with you tonight, Little Cherry," Édouard said with a smirk, and the next second, he lifted her in his arms.

The Second Husband

Charlotte's grip on Édouard's collar remained tight until he placed his hands above hers. He slowly brought them down and intertwined their fingers. 


He withdrew from the kiss slowly and placed kisses on her jawline before traveling south. Her body shuddered when he kissed her sweet spot. Since they were outside, she tried to control her moan from escaping her mouth.


However, such futile attempts of stopping her moans went in vain when he bit the skin on her sweet spot. She threw her head back and her hand once again moved to his head. Her fingers tangled into his soft golden tendrils. 


She wanted to stop because they were in the open, but the voice didn't come out of her mouth. 


She needed him and wanted his lips to kiss every part of her body. Charlotte's eyes remained shut when Édouard again claimed her lips. 


Once again they explored the depth of each other's mouths. Finally, when they ran out of air, they both pulled away. 


I love you, Édouard
