Winning Back the Wife
I'd upset my fiancé again, the men I'd grown up beside. All because I wanted to borrow thirty million from him to buy back a ruby brooch. Adrian was heir to the Vampire Prince. To him, the money was nothing. But in front of every servant in the house, his face went cold. "Elena. Don't be greedy." Disdain filled his eyes. "Yes, your mother died saving me fifteen years ago, yet I agreed to marry you." "You're only human. Don't presume on that." My throat closed. I'd been about to explain that the brooch was the only thing I had left of my mother. But Adrian had already looked away, impatient. "Whatever it is, it can wait until I'm back. Stop making a scene." I ran my thumb over the few thin bills in my pocket and lowered my head. A whole year of quiet work for the manor's servants, and that was all I'd saved. I was still wiping my eyes when I got back to my room, and my father called again. "Elena, have you decided? This is for your own good. No matter how long you wait, young Master Adrian will never marry you." "Why don’t you take your stepsister's place. Marry into the North instead. You'll have an easier life." This time, I didn't argue. "Fine. I'll do it." "But I want thirty million in return."

Elena's POVAfter Adrian left, the snow in the North fell for a long time.I never saw him again.Later, I heard he'd fallen gravely ill once he returned to the Prince's domain.In his fever, he kept calling my name, repeating one thing over and over."Don't hate me."But I didn't hate him.Hate was too exhausting.I'd only let him go.News came quickly from the Prince's domain.Adrian punished the servants who had bullied me, and had a fierce falling-out with his parents.The Princess was stripped of most of her authority over the household.The nobles who had once watched my suffering with cold eyes, the Valerie family among them, were called to account one by one.When I heard it, I was only sitting in the northern garden, admiring a newly opened white flower.A maid asked me, carefully,"My lady, does it not please you?"I thought about it."It's not that it doesn't please me.""It's only that it's all come far too late."Justice that arrives late can't erase the old shame, the pai

Elena's POVBy the time Adrian reached the North, it was the seventh day after the wedding.The snow had just stopped.I was sitting in the study, reading the old Valemont family records Lucien had found for me.The pages were old.There were photographs of my mother in her youth, and the family's coat of arms.I traced the words with my fingertips, and something inside me grew quiet.For all these years, my mother's name had been nothing but the late Mrs. Valerie, the woman who'd saved the Prince's heir and died under a hunter's gun.Only now could I truly feel that she had once been young, treasured by a family of her own.She had once been a daughter whose name was written, with care, into a lineage.And now, across fifteen long years, I finally had the chance to know her again.Footsteps came from outside the door.A maid said softly, "My lady, someone has come from the Prince's domain."My hand stilled on the page.I didn't have to ask who.Lucien stood by the window and looked ba

Elena's POVThe wedding in the North was far grander than I'd imagined.I'd thought it would be a cold, formal affair.After all, I was only a stand-in for Vicky.But when the plane landed and the motorcade crossed the snowfields into the northern castle, I saw the whole keep lit up.Silver-blue banners hung down the black stone walls.The long corridor was lined with the people of the North.They didn't look at me the way you'd look at a joke.They didn't sneer because I was human.As I stepped from the car, they bowed as one."My lady."In that instant, my hand went to my chest without thinking.Through the thin fabric, the ruby brooch felt like my mother, still with me.Lucien stood at my side and offered his hand.I hesitated, then placed mine in his palm.His hand was steady."Don't be afraid," he said softly."They're welcoming you."I stared, taking in all those eager, admiring faces, and it felt strange.In the Prince's domain, I had always been the one too many.In the Valerie

Adrian's POVWhen I brought the contract to my parents, they were in the receiving room.My mother saw my face and frowned slightly."Adrian, what's the matter with you?"My father sat at the head of the room, calmer than her."I hear you lost your composure over Elena again today.""Since she's willing to marry into the North, that's no bad thing for you.""A human girl was never suited to be the heir's wife.""We cared for her all these years. Call it repaying her mother's debt, and let it end there."I stopped in the doorway.The words went in like a dull blade, straight to the heart.Once, I'd thought the same way.I never said it aloud.But I let it stand.Let it stand, that Elena wasn't good enough for me, that she didn't belong at my side.Let it stand, that dragging out the engagement, refusing to marry her, was me protecting the family's good name.But now, I only wanted the whole truth."So you drove her into a servant's room?"My mother's face changed."What servant's room?"
