Summary
Livadonia Joseph had everything she could ever want.
She was the beloved daughter of Marquis Joseph and the princess of the East.
But Livi’s perfect life was shattered when Dominic appeared.
He was the emperor’s dog, a duke who was once a lowly mercenary.
Dominic wiped out the Joseph family in a single night, leaving Livi as the only survivor and forcing her into marriage.
As Livi wasted herself away, refusing to eat, Dominic made her an offer.
“Let’s make a deal.”
“…”
“Give me that refined body of yours. Each time you hold a knife to my throat, you’ll spread your legs for me. Each time you try to poison me, I want you to cry out like a wh*re beneath me.”
“Are you out of your mind…?!”
“If you accept these conditions, I’ll give you a chance to kill me.”
Watching Dominic bob his head and smile, Livadonia vowed to herself.
Even if it costs her her life, she’ll kill this vulgar man and drag him down with her.
