The day I was thrown out of the Ludwig residence, snow was falling hard. My mother-in-law, Ella Ludwig, jabbed a finger in my face and called me a jinx. My ex-husband, Dutton Ludwig, shoved me to the ground in front of the whole household, snarling that I had ended his family line. I didn't cry. I didn't plead. I calmly collected every penny my family had given me as a wedding settlement and, without a word, married Phillip Sherman, the most notorious rake in Vanderlyn. One month later, the physician confirmed I was carrying twins. The real shock? Phillip turned out to be the King's favorite prince. When Dutton learned the truth, regret ate him alive. He lunged at my carriage, clawing at the door frame, his voice cracking. "Chloe, I was wrong. Give me another chance?" From inside the carriage, Phillip laughed coldly and kicked Dutton back into the slush. "You? Not a chance."
