Burn the Marriage, Keep the Crown

Chapter 201

Chapter 202

Every time she and Aaron had a falling out, Serena would secretly vow never to speak to him again.

But as soon as Aaron so much as acknowledged her hardly even an olive branch, just a curt "Hey"-she'd be right back at his side, chattering away as if nothing had happened.

It was as if, by doing so, she could warm a stone or melt the snow.

But reality always found new ways to slap her awake.
