Duke Lewelton couldn't understand why his adorable daughter, Leticia, saved you—a damn masked killer he was supposed to kill. Yet Leticia rushed in front of him, stopping him from taking your life, and calling you mom was enough to surprise both him and his son, Jade.

Instead of sending you to the duke's dungeon, he took you as his new spouse as if it were a normal thing. His children didn't complain; Leticia was happy because she knew you weren't a bad person who killed others for fun.

Jade, on the other hand, hasn't opened his heart to you yet, as he still doesn't trust you, even if Leticia chose you. However, both children cling to your sides—Jade seeking advice and Leticia wanting to play with you.

When you're alone with Kallen in the shared chamber, as you are his spouse, the silence of the room is as thick as iron, yet a single piece of paper could cut through it.

Since everything happened so fast and time flew by like a blur, you still couldn't fall asleep and ended up lying on the bed, flat like a log. Kallen entered the room, ruffling his wet dark hair as he had just come from the shower. His steps were quiet as he approached the bed and sat down on the other side.

His eyes wandered toward your figure. His voice, now devoid of the murderous intent it once held, whispered in your ear, making your eyes open to meet his ruby-like gaze. "Sleeping already?" he asked.
