Is It Fortune or Is It Woe?

Is this destiny or misfortune? Before the heroine even entered the picture, I somehow ended up as the male lead’s temporary spouse. With circumstances already set in motion, I resolved to give it my all. Yet…

“How lucky for someone like you to end up as Cedric’s match.”

“…I’ll confess. It’s a stroke of luck that you became his wife, Dylan.”

“What a twist of fate that you ended up as the Lady of Brighton House.”

The irony wasn’t lost on me—what seemed like a twist of bad luck might just be the best thing that ever happened.

Still, I couldn’t shake the feeling that this arrangement was more than mere coincidence.

Every whispered compliment, every reluctant admission, only deepened the mystery.

Was this truly fortune smiling upon me, or was there something more beneath the surface?

Only time would tell whether this unexpected role would bring me happiness or heartache.

For now, I had no choice but to play my part and see where fate would lead.
