When betrayal shatters his perfect life, noble heir Kaelan Thorne finds refuge in a humble tavern-and in Ivy, a fiery waitress with magic in her veins. But love in Eldoria comes at a cost. To protect her, Kaelan must confront his past, defy the elite, and risk everything for a future built on truth, not legacy.

Chapter 1 The Illusion of Perfection

In the heart of Eldoria, where shimmering towers pierced the skies and magic flowed through every street, Kaelan Thorne stood at the threshold of a life others envied. His engagement party dazzled with wealth and prestige, hosted in the grand ballroom of the Thorne Estate. Enchanted chandeliers floated above, casting twinkling lights that danced across walls of marble and mirrors. Velvet-draped tables brimmed with delicacies from across the realm, and orchestral harmonies enchanted the air.

Kaelan wore the polished smile of nobility, his tailored suit glimmering beneath the magical glow. Seraphina, his bride-to-be, moved like a vision across the floor, her sapphire-threaded gown sparkling like starlight. To all, they looked perfect-envy of the kingdom, heirs to a legacy of power and influence. But inside, Kaelan felt hollow.

Each toast and congratulatory nod rang false. The weight of expectations bore down like a crown of iron. Needing air, he slipped into the moonlit courtyard, hoping for clarity. There, hidden behind a rose-laced hedge, he heard hushed voices. Seraphina stood close to Lysander-his oldest friend-her hand pressed to his chest. "Soon, he'll be too distracted to notice, and we can finally have what we want," she whispered. Lysande's low chuckle was the final blow.

Kaelan turned away, heart shattering. The illusion of perfection dissolved in that moment, replaced by the cold sting of betrayal. Love, he realized, was not gilded promises-it was truth. And his had just been shattered.

"Lucien, let's get a divorce," I said in a peremptory tone that was long overdue, the most decisive farewell to this absurd marriage. We had been married for exactly three years-three years that, for me, were filled with nothing but endless loneliness and torment. For three years, the husband who should have stood by my side through every storm, Lucien Sullivan, had completely disappeared from my life as if he had never existed. He vanished without a trace, leaving me alone to endure this empty, desolate marriage. Today, I finally received his message: "I'm back. Come pick me up at the airport." When I read his words, my heart leapt with joy, and I raced to the airport, thinking that he finally understood my love and was coming back to me. But his cruelty was far worse than I could have ever imagined-he was accompanied by a pregnant woman, and that woman was Carla, my closest and most trusted friend. In that moment, all of my previous excitement, all my hope, and all of our shared laughter and tears turned into the sharpest of daggers, stabbing into my heart and leaving me gasping for air. Now, all I want is to escape from this place that has left me so broken-to lick my wounds in solitude. Even if these wounds will remain with me for the rest of my life, I refuse to have anything to do with him ever again. He should know that it was his own hand that trampled our love underfoot, that his coldness and betrayal created this irreparable situation. But when he heard those words, he desperately clung to this broken, crumbling marriage, unwilling to let it end-almost as though doing so could rewind time and return everything to how it used to be. "Aurora, come back. I regret everything!" Regret? Those simple words stirred no emotion in me-only endless sadness and fury. My heart let out a frantic, desperate scream: It's too late for any of this!
