He Chose Her, I Chose His Rival

Synopsis

The heir to the Marquis of Glory's estate, Wayne Hurlbutt, married me for one reason alone. I bore a striking resemblance to his late first love. Then that dead woman "came back to life" and became my widowed sister-in-law. On our wedding day, Wayne abandoned the entire guest hall for her. In front of the city's nobility, he declared he would observe a three-year mourning period and ensure her protection above all else. Just like that, I became a laughingstock. That very night, I went to the Prince Regent's residence with a sword and asked him to grant me a divorce. The man who held the power of the court between his fingers tilted my chin up, his gaze dark and unreadable. He said softly, "Divorce him, and you will belong to me." Three years later, Wayne returned with bloodshot eyes, begging me to come back. what he saw the Prince Regent pressing me against the palace wall, kissing me with unrestrained force. The Regent said, "Marquis, see for yourself who exactly is her husband."
