When you began to regret, I regretted every moment I had loved you.

Elaine Aiola—the most noble and beloved lady in the kingdom.

On the cusp of adulthood, a stranger approaches her.

“Dominic Cheshire, my lady.”

A series of deliberate coincidences unfolds, leading her to believe in fate.

“I love you, Dominic. No one can deny my heart.”

“Then prove it.”

Determined to protect the love that had found her, she resolves to give up everything.

“I am carrying a child. Dominic’s child.”

Love preserved to the very end.

A beautiful beginning takes root.

She was happy.

Until the moment she heard the voice of the man she loved seeping from another woman’s chambers.

“Me? Love Elaine Aiola?”

A crooked tone cut through the silence.

The truth—one known to everyone but her—was finally laid bare.

“Don’t be ridiculous. There’s no way I could truly love that foolish Aiola girl.”
