They dreamed of a divorce even more perfect than their marriage.
Sonia Heston and Luette Trovill, flawless in appearance and background, lacked nothing.
From childhood friends to a marriage that fooled everyone, their perfect contractual union was nearing its conclusion.
「By the way, I’ve been hearing some strange rumors lately.
They say you two are pretending to love each other.
So, I’d like you to attend my upcoming birthday party.
Wouldn’t you agree we need to shut those filthy mouths once and for all?」
A sudden summons arrived from the Heston Dowager Madame.
It came with her growing concerns over the rumors surrounding the couple, who had been living secluded in a provincial estate.
In the end, the two of them set off for the capital together,
determined to fool everyone once again with their perfect act.

“Do your part properly.”
“Properly?”
“Treat me as if I’m the most precious thing in the world to you.”
“Hah.”
As expected, Luette Trovill let out a soft laugh.
“It shouldn’t be too difficult for you, Your Grace, should it…….”
Sonia swallowed her words and looked up as a shadow fell over her.
Luette Trovill had approached her without her noticing and was now looking down at her. While Sonia was captivated by the unreadable look in his eyes, his hand reached for her face.
His cold fingers pressed against her lower lip, which she hadn’t realized she had been biting.
“You can’t even stand my touch. How do you expect me to treat you with such devotion?”
“…….”
“You can’t even endure it.”
Will this contractual marriage truly end in a smooth disaster?
