When she demanded a divorce, he refused, and her attempts to rebuild her career crumbled under mysterious sabotage. His manipulation ran deeper than she realized: the entire marriage was his calculated trap, designed to bind her to him forever, stealing her independence and freedom. Obsessive and controlling, he whispered poisoned words: "Victoria, no one loves you like I do. Stop imagining escape." What he didn't know was that she carried his child, a secret she protected fiercely. That fateful storm became her breaking point—as he abandoned her in agony to rush to his mistress, Victoria's world shattered. Eighteen years of devoted love dissolved in that single moment of betrayal, and she walked away without looking back. Years later, at the prestigious Portoros Circle's crown prince engagement ceremony, he spotted her. Victoria Monroe emerged in an ethereal gown, breathtaking and radiant, only to find herself claimed by the Portoros Circle's crown prince himself, who dropped to one knee with reverent devotion, his lips tender against her hand. The stoic President Fordham's composure finally cracked—his eyes blazed red with jealous rage as madness consumed him.
