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

Jemeiah's sudden confession shocked Zara, leading her to be unable to react or process what she should answer him. Never once she thought she would grab the attention of the prince of the Kingdom. 


"I will wait for your answer before I leave," Jemeiah stated. "You should go inside. Your mother must be waiting," he suggested to her. 


Zara hummed in response. She bowed to Jemeiah before heading inside. 


A few seconds later, Jemeiah left for the palace in the royal carriage. On his way to the palace, he kept thinking if he would get a positive response or not. 


Upon reaching the palace, as he stepped out of the carriage, he encountered Andrew at the foyer, who had also returned from outside. Andrew was surprised to see Jemeiah had gone out, so he asked about it. 


"I went to see my close friend, Samuel. It has been long since I last visited him," Jemeiah answered. "Was Brother Andrew with his fiancée?" He asked in a teasing tone.
