A widow had found herself in trouble with the palace when her son ran into the Duke Nicholas Howard, the cold and handsome bachelor of the Kingdom of Leuedai.

The Duke found himself being engaged with this young widow and her bastard son, wanting to spend every passing day with them, as though they were his own wife and son.  

This is clearly against the rules of the Kingdom.

And how could she go on, not fully knowing what her real identity meant?

And this was what she got-marrying a ruthless, cold prince who'd slapped her and insulted her?! Would she have even a glimmer of hope in this arranged marriage? ⚠️⚠️THE FULL STORY IS AVAILABLE ON READINK, WEBNOVEL AND ANYSTORIES⚠️⚠️ PS: I'm a romance ghostwriter.
