“You don’t even love me, do you?”

Erin Cornu is the prima ballerina of the Royal Ballet and the only daughter of a ducal family buried in debt. One day, a man appears before her.

“Love. Is that important? All that matters to me is that right now, you are the most valuable woman in this country.”

Erin, momentarily lost for words, glared at him. The man standing before her was exactly the man from the rumors.

A bastard son of a barony. A vagabond who wandered the world. And now, the billionaire who returned in glory after building the largest department store in the empire. He was Ethan Fletcher.

“……You are a shameless snob.”

“Yes, I know.”

“A nouveau riche obsessed with vanity!”

“I’m sorry, I regret that I am such a man.”

Erin gritted her teeth. She glared at him with a face that looked as if she wanted to jump at him and strangle him right then.

“Let me be clear. I will never marry you.”

“No, I don’t think you can do that.”

His expression, which had been blank the whole time, broke as he gave a spiteful smile.

“Because I have already paid the price for you. To put it simply, you are becoming a precious ornament for my department store. Isn’t that better than being sold as an old man’s second wife?”

Slap—

His head snapped to the side.

“Vulgar jerk. Shut up.”

Erin’s palm, which had delivered the slap, trembled violently. Watching this, Ethan stepped closer and added:

“I like this; it’s stimulating and good. I can let you hit me every day if that’s what you want… but you won’t do this in front of the customers, will you?”

From beginning to end, this man was truly tr*sh who cared for nothing but his own kingdom.
