Diana Ardelaine was done. Diana Ardelaine had enough. Married to a Duke who returned from war with a mistress, she played the perfect wife, only to be humiliated at every turn. So, she did the one thing no one expected: she divorced him, walked out of his mansion, and decided to start fresh. Enter Cassian—a charming cafe owner with a knack for being in the wrong place at the right time. With his warm smiles and terrible puns, he made her believe in love again. Life was peaceful, simple, and—most importantly—happy. Until the royal guards showed up. With Cassian’s face plastered on a bounty poster, Diana's world turned upside down. Was her sweet husband a criminal? A liar? Before she could even yell at him, the crown prince burst into the cafe like a storm. “Where is that damn runaway prime minister?! The Empire’s about to fall, and this idiot is baking muffins?!” Diana froze. Prime minister? Runaway? Muffins? Turns out, Cassian wasn’t just a cafe owner—he was the crown prince’s cousin, a brilliant political advisor, and a man who really hated responsibility. Now, with imperial soldiers, assassination plots, and a furious prince barging into her life, Diana has to figure out how to keep her husband alive—and herself sane. Divorce was hard.

You know everything about me, even the things I've never shared. It feels like you can hear my thoughts, and it's unnerving." My voice broke, betraying the hurt I felt. I was exposed, stripped down to my core, and the thought of standing next to my girlfriend in this vulnerable state was unbearable. She was not just my partner; she was my everything—my sister, my best friend, my lover.
