Selene Valor, a pureblood vampire,  entered a marriage of convenience with her husband Gabriel Valor to protect herself from relatives eyeing what was left of her family's wealth. Six months into their marriage, Gabriel is sent away to war to fight for the kingdom. As time went on, news of his victories spread across the kingdom and he was labelled a hero.

Nearly six months later, Selene eagerly awaits the return of her heroic husband. Upon his arrival, Selene is faced with betrayal as he brings home a woman named Cassandra Avery, a human who he introduces as his lover. Selene is heartbroken and tries to save what was left of her marriage but soon there is news of Gabriel wanting to take Cassandra as his second wife. 

Selene is left with the choice of accepting Gabriel’s wishes and staying protected or seeking a divorce. After a heated argument, Selene turns to someone she never expected to be her saviour. She finds refuge with Lord Xavier Blackthorn, another pureblood who seeks her hand in marriage. 

Will she forgive her first love or move on to accept Lord Blackthorn’s love?

Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord

"This is your help?" Selene asked, looking around the shop they entered.

"It is. I also wanted to bring you here because there are stones to stop anyone from eavesdropping. Now we may speak freely and you have your big scary guard here to stop anyone from coming inside," said Francesca.

Francesca felt relaxed now that they were away from all the prying eyes. "We can talk now. Oh, I own this. It is another hobby."

"You do," Selene said, looking at the shop differently. "You seem to have figured out what to do with your time. You must be busy between this and the art you like to collect."

"Not as busy as I would like to be. I have employed a few women to work here and the art is brought to my home. This shop makes for a good excuse to leave home and brings in money. I help make men weak before us," Francesca said, confident she could help Selene.
