I was staring at a financial report that made absolutely no sense. House Ashbourne should have been struggling.

I had already frozen the assets registered under my name months ago. Several financial arrangements tied to my marriage had been withdrawn as well.

Yet Ashbourne's businesses were still operating.

That bothered me.

One... two... three...

I turned another page. Then another.

The numbers didn't match.

Damn it. So much had slipped past me all this time. No wonder there hadn't been any s

  • Your Greatest Mistake Was Me   Small Victory

    I was staring at a financial report that made absolutely no sense. House Ashbourne should have been struggling.I had already frozen the assets registered under my name months ago. Several financial arrangements tied to my marriage had been withdrawn as well.Yet Ashbourne's businesses were still operating.That bothered me.One... two... three...I turned another page. Then another. The numbers didn't match.Damn it. So much had slipped past me all this time. No wonder there hadn't been any significant impact on their businesses, even though they'd wavered for a while.I went through the numbers one by one. Aside from Magnus's business acumen and influence, which still held considerable weight, these funds were also helping House Ashbourne's business lines stay afloat.“Every business involving Vermont and Ashbourne. I want the contracts, payment records, profit distributions, investments—everything.”This time, nothing could be overlooked. Sebastian and the financial advisory team'

  • Your Greatest Mistake Was Me   My Move

    “Were you really avoiding me just so you wouldn’t have to greet me, Sera?” His voice was harsh, as if he were holding back years of resentment.I turned and found Vaeldric standing there. Lysara quickly linked her arm through his.A romance I had absolutely no interest in. Unfortunately, I had no choice but to watch it since it was happening right in front of me.Lysara gave me a smug smile, like she had just won a trophy. Unfortunately, Vaeldric was too perceptive and too used to being in the public eye. He knew how to maintain his dignity and reputation.He brushed her hand away, lowering it gently as he whispered something to her. I had no idea what kind of spell he whispered, but it was enough to make the woman step back with a sulky expression.“Oh, nice to meet you, Lord Vaeldric.” I gave him a slight bow.His jaw tightened before he grabbed my hand and dragged me toward a secluded corner of the garden.“Is it true?”It didn't take long before he had me cornered in a dimly lit c

  • Your Greatest Mistake Was Me   Watching Back

    Three days later, I found myself standing in front of the Evermont estate, wondering why I had agreed to come.The occasion was simple enough. Lord and Lady Evermont were celebrating their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary.Twenty-five years of marriage. Impressive. Meanwhile, mine hadn't even made it to seven. We didn't even make it past the aluminum anniversary. Perfect timing.“Stop looking like you're attending a funeral.” Lucien stepped out of the car behind me, adjusting his jacket.“I’m considering leaving.”“You say that about every social event.”“And yet, I’m still here.”“Unfortunately.”I glared at him while he simply grinned.The Evermonts had always been close to House Vermont, which meant declining the invitation would have been unnecessarily rude. Besides, it wasn't a royal event.No palace or official ceremony. And most importantly, no Crown Prince. Just a private celebration attended by several noble families.It should have been easy. At least, that was what I though

  • Your Greatest Mistake Was Me   Behind The Scenes

    SERAPHINA POVThe last Royal Security car disappeared around the corner. So, Adrian really had pulled them back. Good.At least he could listen when I told him to leave me alone.“Disappointed?”I turned. Lucien was standing by the front door, looking far too pleased with himself.“About what?”“Your guards,” he answered casually, flashing his teeth without a hint of guilt.“They weren't my guards.” I hit him, a little harder than necessary. This time, I actually landed it. “Go to work.”“I was planning to.”“You've been planning to for the past hour.”He laughed and finally picked up his coat. “See you later, Princess Consort.”“Lucien.”Damn. He walked away before I could throw something at him.***I went to work as usual. That was the plan, at least. Pretending everything was normal became considerably harder the moment I stepped into the office.People looked at me discreetly, but immediately looked away whenever I turned toward them. A few conversations stopped as I walked past.

  • Your Greatest Mistake Was Me   The Royal Guard

    SERAPHINA POVBy eight in the morning, I had officially become the most hated person in Valerion. What a fantastic way to start the day.On the other hand, I kept bracing myself for something even worse.Oh, come on. I've learned from experience. Usually, all the bad things come one after another, as if they're pulling each other along.“Sources claim that Lady Seraphina and Crown Prince Adrian Valerian...”I didn't need to hear any more. I immediately turned off the TV as soon as I walked past it. Lucien, who was lounging on the sofa while listening to that pointless gossip show, glared at me.“Why did you turn it off?”“I just want some peace. The host is too loud this early in the morning.”I walked over to him and took a sip of the coffee sitting in front of him without permission. Lucien didn't even seem interested in scolding me.“You just hate the fact that they're still so enthusiastic about talking about you.”He immediately took

  • Your Greatest Mistake Was Me   I Don't Know

    POV VAELDRIC'For events involving Lady Seraphina.'Damn it. Those words had now turned into a mantra, echoing in my head even as I was almost back at Ashbourne Manor.I kept telling myself that it was just a political decision. Adrian wanted to protect someone who had become the center of public attention. It should have been that simple.But the more I thought about it, the less sense it made.If he only wanted to protect Seraphina as part of a royal matter, why did he have to deliberately say it in front of everyone?While looking directly at me?I let out a quiet breath and got out of the car, straightening my slightly wrinkled clothes.Seraphina used to be the one who prepared and straightened everything for me. Ah, there she was again.It didn't matter. Seraphina was no longer my concern.At least, she shouldn't be. I was the one who had thrown her away, not the other way around.The moment I entered the main room, I immediately saw Lysara sitting on the sofa. She seemed absorbe
