Chapter 458: Married Twice
One day came after another, and eventually, Abel and Dani’s Coupling Rites finally came. As they had planned and agreed upon, the only attendees they had present were their close friends in the form of King Nikolai, Queen Mineah, Fritz, and Dani’s fellow Shadow Maidens Niran, Laura, Zaila, Krisha and Queen Mother together with some of the officials and members of Ivanov Clan. It was a small affair, one that didn’t have much grandeur with how quickly they both wanted it over with.

She did her best to put on a sultry look, making sure that Abel was watching her as she seductively goaded him into her performance.

She wanted to hear him say those three magical words and mean it. She knew he lusted for her, so she might as well get back at him for constantly leading her on like this.
"Beautiful..."
