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

"Martin!" Xavier called for the caretaker the second he landed.

Xavier headed right for the two graves which stood out among the others. Some of the flowers Selene placed were still there but now dried up with the petals blowing away with the wind.

Martin came running out of his small home upon hearing his name. When he saw it was Xavier, Martin wanted to run the other way but feared he would be killed.

Martin nervously rubbed his hands. "Yes, Lord Blackthorn. How can I help you today?"

Martin feared Xavier was angry because he had not kept up with tidying the grave. It didn't feel long since he last saw Xavier and his wife so he didn't think he would be seeing either one of them so soon.

There was some regret over spending the night drinking instead of tending to the graves.

"Get two shovels," Xavier ordered Martin.
