Ten years after I got pulled into this world, I gave up on finding my way home and married Edward Whitmore, the celestial guardian who promised he'd protect me forever. He taught me to read and write. He took blades meant for me. He lifted me from nothing, a lost girl in a foreign world, and made me his wife. I thought fate had finally smiled on me. Then the pain hit. My stomach cramped so badly I collapsed, and through the haze, I heard him talking to his advisor. My lord, if you want to save the child, you have to stop draining her soul. She won't survive much longer if you keep this up. Edward's face twisted for a second, but then it was gone. "No. I brought her here from that other world for one reason—to bring Seraphina back. We're so close now. I can't stop. Seraphina died as a Divine Maiden, sacrificing herself for everyone. Izzy is her reincarnation, so it's her duty to bear this burden. " And if Izzy ends up paralyzed? His voice didn't even waver. "I'll take care of her for the rest of her life." The truth hit me like ice water.I was never his wife. I was just a vessel, a way to resurrect the woman he actually loved.
