I Had the Enemy's Child

Synopsis

Two families who loathe each other to the core: Vermonte and Temnes. Clodel becomes the sacrificial offering for a forced reconciliation, marrying Kaian, the Duke of Temnes.

“It’s up to you whether tonight will be the right one. You’re going to have to stir my heart.”

She wasn’t shallow when she was told that if she couldn’t seduce him. On the contrary, she looked as noble as a saint trying to show her mercy.

“What’s your name?” Kaian suppressed his seething desire and asked his bride, whose name he hadn’t revealed.

“I am Claudel Quinn Vermont.” Gnome’s Vermont.

“Whether or not you can become Claudel Quinn Temnes depends on your effort tonight. I want you to try.”

For him, it was an unwanted marriage. For her, it was a marriage she chose. Clodel endured the humiliation poured upon her— she had not come here ignorant of what awaited her. Between the two, a fragile bond of husband and wife begins to take root. Gradually, he grows obsessed with Clodel, and she finds a reason to live in Kaian. But a shallow, unstable relationship is easily shattered and ruined. “It’s disgusting—mixing such filthy blood. It’s not like you can split a child in half.” Upon learning her husband’s true feelings, Clodel leaves him behind.
