Frozen By His Cruelty

Synopsis

All because I opened the window for some fresh air, and that made my husband's childhood sweetheart, Linnea, catch a cold. In a fit of rage, Tavian had his men tie me up and toss me into the ice cellar, even though I was pregnant. "Don't think carrying my child means you can push Linnea around," Tavian said coldly. "If even a single hair on her head gets hurt, you'll pay for it a hundred times over." I was shivering all over, tears streaming down my face as I kowtowed to Tavian, begging for forgiveness. I promised I'd do everything to serve Linnea and make up for my mistake, swearing I'd never let her get hurt again. But Tavian just coldly ordered his men to shut the cellar door. "This is a lesson that'll be burned into you forever." A week later, Linnea finally got over her cold, and only then did Tavian remember me, still trapped in the ice cellar. He said to me, "Taryn, do you truly realize your mistake? If you promise to go and kowtow to Linnea and apologize right now, I'll let you go." But what Tavian didn't know was that I was already frozen stiff in the cellar. Even the child Tavian treasured above all else was already lifeless, with not a trace of life left.
