The Return of the Ex-Wife

Annis, a skilled knight, entered into marriage with Marquis Devon Pizetra solely to honor her late mother’s final wish. Stepping into the role of lady of the house, she proved indispensable by expertly managing the estate's finances and securing its prosperity. Yet, her devotion is met with staggering cruelty. Her incompetent husband squanders the wealth she worked so hard to build on his former lover, who now carries his child. Rather than simply ending their union, Devon demands a divorce while simultaneously forcing Annis to remain confined to the estate, expecting her to continue running the family’s enterprises as though nothing has changed. Shattered by this profound betrayal and trapped in a gilded cage of her husband's making, Annis finds herself at her lowest point. It is within this despair that she crosses paths with Rowan, an old acquaintance and fellow knight from her past. Beneath his familiar presence lies a quiet truth: Rowan harbors deep feelings for her, emotions he has carefully concealed for a very long time. As Annis navigates the wreckage of her marriage and the suffocating demands of the Pizetra household, this unexpected reunion offers a glimmer of hope and the possibility of a life beyond her cruel ex-husband's control.
