Chapter 1: I Am Your Wife!
"What is your name?" His smooth, deep voice cut through the silence, catching her off guard.
Salviana blinked in disbelief. "You married me!" she countered, her voice incredulous.
The demon prince's eyes remained fixed on her, molten and unyielding. "Yes. And yet I don't know it."
His words were delivered with a calm ease, but something darker flickered behind his gaze, a weight she couldn't place. "I won't tell you," she snapped, her heart hammering in her chest. "If you don't already know it."
A flicker of amusement sparked in his eyes. 'She's fire,' he mused, though his expression remained as impassive as stone. "Fine by me, Wife."
"Don't call me that!" Her voice cracked with frustration, fists clenched by her sides.
The sting of this forced union gnawed at her, the indignity of being bound to a stranger—one who didn't even care to know her name.
"You are my wife," he replied, as if the words carried no more significance than stating the time and stating the obvious.

Her defiance faltered, giving way to dejection. "I know, sadly. But you've no right to call someone you don't know your wife." she insisted.
He scoffed lightly, his brows arching slightly as he asked with narrowed eyes. "Do you know my real name?"
