Скачать или смотреть He Ignored His Wife at Every Ball—Until She Became the One He Couldn’t Touch

At every ball, he treated her like a stranger.

The Duke would arrive with polished composure, greet diplomats, dance with heiresses, and leave his wife seated alone beneath the chandeliers. Their marriage had been convenient—strategic, respectable, emotionally distant.

She endured it with grace.

Until she stopped waiting.

Gradually, she built a world of her own. Invitations addressed to her alone. Conversations that quieted when she entered—not from pity, but admiration. Gentlemen sought her counsel. Ladies mirrored her style.

And one evening, as the orchestra began a waltz, a foreign ambassador claimed her hand before the Duke could even approach.

He watched from across the ballroom.

For the first time, she did not glance toward him for permission.

For the first time, she looked untouchable.

The wife he had neglected now moved beyond his reach—surrounded, desired, respected.

And as another man’s hand rested at her waist, the Duke understood something far too late—

Indifference had been his choice.

Losing her might not be.
