The Mastermind Hides His Dark Intentions from Me

My Count husband had an affair with his mistress.

He even promised to give her my position.

Unable to tolerate it any longer, I threw divorce papers at him.

Afterward, I opened a trading company with the settlement money from the divorce.

But it seems I had more talent in this field than I expected.

The business became wildly successful, and I became the owner of a massive trading company.

I believed the incredible success of my business was heaven’s blessing.

But then…

“Miss, the price of the building you recently purchased has skyrocketed. Someone bought up the entire surrounding area for development.”

“Who was it?”

“Duke Esteban, my lady.”

…So it wasn’t heaven but Duke Esteban?!

Bewildered, I went to see the Duke.

“Why did you do this for me?”

When I asked the Duke, he answered:

“…My child likes you.”

“What?”

His answer was quite strange.

As I frowned in confusion—

“Mommy!”

An adorable little boy ran to me and hugged me.

“Who…is this?”

“My son. He’s six years old this year, and as you can see, he’s very fond of you, my lady. So I was wondering…”

Suddenly, the Duke’s gaze transformed.

Just as I glimpsed an obsessive look in his previously calm eyes, he spoke gravely:

“…Would you become this child’s mother?”

…Did I just receive a marriage proposal from the Duke out of nowhere?!
