The Blood He Denied Became His Greatest Loss

My father felt guilty that I had secretly loved Benjamin Jameson for ten years, so he took matters into his own hands.

He drugged his old friend and sent him to my bed.

When Benjamin woke up, he looked at me with nothing but coldness. For the sake of our families, he agreed to marry me.

I thought I had finally gotten the man I loved.

But after our wedding, Benjamin began leaving the country for business trips. One trip became three years of absence.

During those years, I gave birth to our daughter, Esther Jameson, and waited for him to return.
