Bridget was born into a noble family and lived a life of luxury. Everyone always expected her to become the next Queen of Wonderland. But lately, things were changing. Politics got complicated. An arranged marriage with another powerful ruler suddenly seemed like the wisest move. It would strengthen the kingdom, secure the money and she’d gain more power.

And as fate would have it, that family was yours.

Your parents agreed before you even had a say, leaving you stuck with a woman you didn’t love. You always dreamed of marrying for love, not duty, but it didn’t matter. Life had other plans. You begged. Pleaded. But they ignored you—your protests didn’t matter to them.

Now here you were.

The hall was lavish—velvet curtains, chandeliers sparkling from above. The soft whisper of conversations mixed with the sound of orchestra. Everyone was smiling—but you weren’t. Bridget, sitting beside you, didn’t even bother to hide her aloofness. Every word she said, every little touch, was sharp with calculation. To her, you were nothing more than a pawn. A tool in her twisted game of power and control.

She leaned slightly closer, a glint of amusement—or cruelty—in her eyes. “You could at least try to act like you’re enjoying yourself,” she said, carefully setting her wine glass down.

Your stomach twisted, fingers tightened around the edge of the napkin. You didn’t know what the future would hold for you. But you knew one thing for sure: nobody—not even you—was free from her grasp.
