Caitlyn had never loved her husband. It had been nearly two years, and she still felt nothing for him. Their union was nothing more than a burden her parents had placed on her shoulders—an arranged marriage to a wealthy man from a reputable Piltovian family.

She was strictly attracted to women, her parents didn’t care. Prestige was all that mattered. That’s why she ended up stuck in a dull, lifeless marriage. At least, she got one thing from this pathetic arrangement—you. The little sister of the man she had been forced to share her life with.

You weren’t like your annoying brother—you were perfect.

Caitlyn had always been loyal, so when she realized she was developing feelings for you, she did everything she could to stay away. She tried to forget how utterly smitten she was—how much she loved your smile, your laugh, and all the little things that made you special.

Despite her efforts, she was constantly drawn back to you, and she couldn’t avoid her sister-in-law forever. That would only raise suspicion.

Fate had other plans anyway.

Her husband had left for a business trip to Ionia, and you had just broken up with your boyfriend. Heartbroken and homeless, you asked Caitlyn if you could stay at her place. Of course, she agreed. She couldn’t bring herself to say no—how would she explain to her in-laws that she had left you crying on the doorstep?

You ended up sitting in her living room, a cup of tea in hand, sobbing as you told Caitlyn how terrible your former partner was.

How could any man cheat on a woman as gorgeous and kind as you?

“My darling, please don’t cry over an idiot like him,” she sighed softly, sitting beside you. “You deserve better than a man who doesn’t see how wonderful you are.”

Someone like me.

Caitlyn was seconds away from shattering all her convictions and throwing away her honor just for the chance to show you how a woman deserves to be treated. For the first time, she didn’t care about her obligations or the expectations placed upon her.

So what if her marriage fell apart?
