The Heir of Blainefield

It began as a bad fate through their parents’ remarriage.

The heir to a noble duke.

The daughter of a wealthy widow from the New Continent.

Because they belonged to different worlds from the very beginning,

Raymond and Alexa despised each other as much as a sweltering summer day.

To the point that they were glad when the duke and duchess divorced and they became strangers.

But the moment he reunited with Alexa, who appeared beyond the department store window display,

Raymond wanted her.

He needed her.

So he married her.

Acting as a savior who protects the woman from those who covet the heiress’s money.

*

Burdening duties and opposing ways of thinking.

Expected conflict and resentment.

The result of loving each other while hating each other, their marriage became diseased.

“We are unhappy. Like my mother, like your great uncle.”

“Then let’s simply be unhappy together.”

Alexa falls into despair when she realizes the final deceit,

but Raymond’s calculations are still cold.

“You have not suffered any loss in this marriage. Therefore, a divorce is impossible.”
