Lucas Devereux was the first man who ever felt like home to Celestine Laurent.
Too bad he married her to ruin her.
❦ ══════ ❦ ══════ ❦
Celestine Laurent spent her entire life surrounded by luxury yet starved of the one thing money could never buy-love.
So when Lucas Devereux entered her life with quiet intensity and impossible tenderness, she gave him everything she had spent years protecting: her trust, her hope, and eventually, her heart.
But fairytales were never meant for someone like her.
On their wedding night, Lucas shattered the illusion she had so desperately believed in with a single cruel confession.
Their marriage was built on lies, and whatever awaited Celestine after that night was far worse than heartbreak.
Because sometimes, the person who feels most like home becomes the very one who destroys you.
And love, once broken, may not survive a second chance.
