After a hundred proposals, he's gonna call me his mother.

It's common knowledge that Theo, the powerful figure in East City, has been deeply in love with me for eight years and proposed 99 times.

Touched by his devotion, I was willing to give up my adventurous career and return from Iceland to the cozy and peaceful East City.

But in the third year of our marriage, Theo brought home a pregnant woman.

That's when I discovered that while he was planning to propose, he had also found someone to fill my place in his absence.

"Fiona, I know you still dream of exploring and don't want children. I’ll give you your freedom."
