It Was the Wrong Marriage From the Start

Just before becoming the seventh late wife of an old marquis who had devoured six previous wives, her first love, Raiden, returned.

After five years of waiting with all her strength, now there was only happiness ahead.

Raiden paid off the debts her stepfather had incurred, became her gentle lover again, and even proposed to Ana.

But why did she feel uneasy? What did that cold look she caught for an instant mean?

He still loves me... right?

"People's hearts... change very easily. I'm sure you understand, young lady? You smiled so brightly at the engagement ceremony with Young Master Haimel."

"Raiden... You weren't like this."

"I was, yes. The me of the past was gentle, considerate... and would have even pretended to die at your word."

"..."

"That's how I ended up like this."

"What?"

"Understand this. I have no intention of repeating foolishness. Not even a little."

She struggled desperately to clear up his misunderstanding and regain his trust, but it was not enough.

'I thought I owed you a debt. But if it is true that you ruined our family, then the accounts between us are already settled.'

To sever the knot of this bad fate, she feigned death and fled from his side.

And then, when Raiden finally learned the truth, he came to her, knelt at her feet, and howled in tears.

"I will do my best until the young lady's heart softens, so could you give me one more chance?"

"That... can effort really fix this?"

"From the very beginning... we should never have met. We should never have gotten married. "
