Lady Celia’s Third Marriage

Celia Lancaster, the flower of high society in the New Continent.

After both of her marriages ended with her husbands’ deaths, leaving her driven to the brink, a third suitor appears as if by miracle.

“My name is Blake Ryan.”

A three-year contract marriage proposed by a self-made nouveau riche man of orphan origins.

“Wouldn’t it be worth seeing which is more formidable—your misfortune that devours husbands, or my survival instinct clawed up from the very bottom of the New Continent?”

And so, the man who became Celia’s third husband was perfect.

“Trust me. I will lead you down the thorny path to success.”

He was a diligent ally, a reliable partner, and a passionate lover.
With this man, Celia believed she could finally be happy.

“You’re like a pretty little gift box—a small bonus that comes with my revenge and success.”

That was, until he softly revealed that all of it had been a lie.

“So you’d better not even dream of something like divorce.”

At that moment, Celia made up her mind. She would escape this web of deception, no matter what.
