My name is Layla and I had just turned 19 and was about to marry the man I had secretly dated for four years — Killian Wanes, the former school playboy who had once secretly pursued me.But on the night I was trying on my wedding dress, Killian was busy again. He couldn't stay by my side, and I was the one handling every detail of the wedding preparations alone.Then, just as Killian casually mentioned that he wouldn't be coming home for an entire week, a mysterious notification suddenly appeared on my phone.A photo flashed across the screen.My body instantly went still as I stared at it.Killian was standing beside Hera, the most beautiful girl on campus.My heart shattered.Before I could even process what I was seeing, another notification appeared. This time, it was a video. Killian was partying with Hera and her friends, laughing and smiling as he kept her close, and that same night, he officially announced his relationship with her.I stood there in complete silence, unable to think properly as tears slowly blurred my vision. My gaze drifted around the empty apartment, the same place where Killian used to sit with me and talk about the future we were supposed to have together.The truth was, I had never truly meant anything to him.Then suddenly, the sound of knocking echoed through the apartment.For a moment, my heart skipped a beat as I thought Killian had come back, but when I opened the door, several unfamiliar men dressed in black suits were standing outside.One of them looked at me calmly before saying, "You are the chosen bride for our master."Huh?I had to be losing my mind.I had to be dreaming.Maybe because I wanted revenge so badly, because I wanted someone to choose me for once, my mind was creating ridiculous fantasies.After soaking in the warm bathtub for too long, dizziness slowly overtook me until everything around me faded into darkness.When I opened my eyes again, I found myself in a luxurious room with a massive bed. The room itself was even larger than the entire apartment I had shared with Killian.Then I realized that someone had been watching me this whole time.He looked at me calmly.He was incredibly handsome, with blue eyes and a face that somehow felt strangely familiar.And then reality hit me.It was him.Alexander Hagard Kingston.The CEO of Kingston Corp and the mysterious Duke whose private life had never once been exposed to the public."So you're the bride chosen by the Moon Goddess for me?" he asked as he stood and walked toward me.He was unbelievably tall, towering over my frozen body as he stopped right beside me. Tilting his head slightly, a faint smile appeared on his lips."Interesting..." he whispered, making my heart race uncontrollably.Moon Goddess?Chosen bride?What the hell was going on?
