From Palace Outcast To Golden Dynasty Heiress

Synopsis

When Emerson Sanford convinced me, Bella Sommers, to leave my home and follow him, he failed to mention one detail: he already had a Queen in his palace. From the moment I arrived, Queen Luna made her contempt clear. She struck my face, forced me to stand in penance, and once ordered me to retrieve her pendant from the palace's frozen pond. When I could endure no more, I confronted Emerson. "You betrayed my trust," I told him. "I am going home. Back to the mountains." He thought I was bluffing, playing some desperate game for his attention. "Don't make a scene, Bella," he warned coolly. What he never knew was that my family's mountains held not just trees and streams, but veins of gold. Two rich mines, to be exact. Months later, Emerson stood at my gate, pleading with me to return with him. Before I could reply, the man beside me nervously caught my sleeve. "I am your lawful husband," he whispered, voice tight with emotion, "the one who married into your family. You promised you would take no other."
