I Choose Death Over Your Belated Love

Right after the marriage papers are signed, the bride, Sophie Walker, turns out to be the heiress of one of the most prominent families around, a fact the narrator had no idea about. The story centers on a husband who was once overlooked and is now stuck in a union that suddenly carries far more weight than he expected. Old dismissals and a sudden rise in status set the stage for a tangled household drama where pride, regret, and a long-delayed affection begin to collide.
