Someone Varius trusts wants him dead.

And so do I.

They call him an abomination, a freak of nature just because he's a witch without magic. My hatred of him goes deeper than that. He's a monster wanting to marry my baby sister, to kill her hopes and dreams by turning her into nothing more than a womb to push out his heirs.

Well, I'm not going to let that happen. I sold my life to save hers fifteen years ago, becoming an assassin for our father to use for his darkest of sins. Now I have a special skillset and a name I'm willing to kill for free.

But what I don't know is Varius never planned to marry her. No, the woman he buys in my father's office...

...is me.

I DON'T NEED A WIFE. I NEED A WOMB.

When the Boss of the Shadow Domain buys me from my father, he is very clear about what he wants from me. I'm not to speak unless spoken to. I'm to visit his bedroom every night, then sleep downstairs. There will never be any friendship between us, just a master I'm to serve.

But his jealousy is quick to show, and his obsession of me is dark and dangerous. He kills anyone who looks me, and he takes me whenever he wants.

As his enemies close in on him, I'm thrown into the line of fire. But when I get hurt, will Varius find another bride, or will he finally admit he wants me for more than just a womb?
