He Protected His Childhood Friend, Not His Princess Fiancée

Summary

I once believed mutual respect was the bare minimum in a political marriage.

My fiancé, Cassian Blackwell, Duke of Northmere, proved how foolish that belief was.

On the day of our engagement ceremony, his childhood sweetheart stole the necklace I had chosen and threatened me with the Blackwell protection crest he had personally given her.

I called Cassian and asked him to handle it.

He hung up before I could tell him who I was.

When he finally arrived, he ordered his guards to force me to my knees and gave her permission to do whatever she wanted.
