I’ve Decided Not to Love You

It was like an accident that suddenly struck.” Chloe confessed with a sigh. “But ending this love is entirely my decision.” Andert, the pride of House Dietrich and considered one of the most eligible bachelors. It was 8 years ago when Chloe first met him and fell in love. But now she had made up her mind to end this lifeless marriage. “I don’t want anything from you. Just one thing — divorce.” A bride thrust upon him by the palace, wary of House Dietrich’s influence. A lucky young lady who secured the position of Dietrich’s mistress without bringing any substantial dowry. That was the extent of public opinion about her. But from the moment she chose that this love was no longer necessary, Chloe’s monotonous world began to shake.
