DEVIANT - Chapter 419 - Paying a frenemy a visit

It’s been 11 years since I’ve lived for others and not for me.

The moment I cried out wanting to get away from my exhausting life, I opened my eyes in the body of some Count’s 20-year-old daughter.

Since this happened, I decided to live my life freely as a single woman.

But…

“I need a lady to act as my fake wife for a certain period of time.”

“A contract marriage?”

“The term is one year. When the time is up, I’ll give you divorce with no strings attached.”

The Duke of the Empire whom I had happened to meet at a ball was hitting on me.

Turns out he’s no other than the Emperor’s beloved brother, Duke Scade!

Hold on, it’s just going to end in a clean divorce with no strings attached?

“You should also give me alimony. Give me one of the best lands of the Ducal household with 10 years’ worth of profit.”

“…..What?”

“If you don’t want to do that, then we cannot get married.”

This time I’m going to live a life taking care of the things I need first!

“I’ll escort you since it’s late.”

Where to? My bedroom is just around the corner.

“Tonight, I’ll do my best.”

No, I don’t need you to do that.

“Did you just look at that man?”

Excuse me, Duke, you said it’s for a limited time only, so why do you keep obsessing over me?

In a world of betrayal, love, and war will Eve risk it all for her freedom—or for her heart?“Let's divorce. I'm finally letting you go,” she said with scarce emotion on her lovely face.Seeing her resolve, he felt heaviness in his heart. His face darkened, clenching his jaw. “You can't leave me. You are bound to me for eternity.”He forcibly grabbed her, pinning her on the wall, his hands started caressing her sensitive spots. “And your body... doesn't LIE,” he whispered sensually, lips gently nibbling on her earlobe.Her breath hitched, her heartbeat racing. Seeing her struggle to resist him, he smirked triumphantly. “You yearn for my touch and my kiss. You also desire me.”The next thing she felt was his lips roughly brushing against hers in a hungry kiss.****Neglected by the KingEnslaved by the QueenBullied by her royal siblingsHated by The Kingdom's HeroOstracized by her own peopleEVE HAD ENOUGH!She ripped off her disguise and began to fight back, flaunting her skills and talents– extremely beautiful, highly intelligent, proficient in medicinal knowledge, great combat skills, and with rare talent– Beast Taming!
