Married to a Duke Called Beast Manhua
Nadia Lancaster had heard the rumors about Duke Staton - his coldness, his ruthlessness, his past deeds shrouded in shadows. But nothing could prepare her for the intensity of his gaze as she stood before him on their wedding day. The weight of his reputation pressed down on her shoulders, threatening to smother her hopes and dreams.
Yet, as the days turned into weeks and months, Nadia discovered layers to the Duke that the rumors had never touched upon. In quiet moments, when the world was not watching, she glimpsed a vulnerability in his eyes, a flicker of something yearning for connection. Despite herself, she found her curiosity piqued, her heart softening towards this man she had been so quick to judge.
Their interactions moved from icy politeness to hesitant conversations, from strained tolerance to genuine laughter. Nadia uncovered the scars that marked the Duke's soul, the wounds that had shaped him into the man he was today. And in doing so, she found herself unraveling a tapestry of pain and sorrow, of hopes dashed and dreams abandoned.
As their hearts tentatively reached across the divide that separated them, Nadia realized that perhaps, just perhaps, there was more to this union than duty and obligation. In the Duke's arms, she found solace and understanding, a sense of belonging she had never dared to imagine. And as she looked into his eyes, the walls around her own heart began to crumble, allowing love to seep in where once there had been only fear.
Together, Nadia and the Duke faced the whispers of court intrigue and the shadows of their pasts, finding strength in each other's arms. And in the end, as the world watched in astonishment, they proved that even a Duke called Beast could find redemption in the embrace of love.
