Chloe found out about Damian’s plan and the secrets that he had been keeping from her for a long time in the previous chapter.
Readers are excited to find out if the two of them will fix their issue in Betrayal of Dignity, Chapter 44. Chloe did not want to think about what had happened, but Damian suggested Chloe ask him all the questions she had about those documents and why he did it.
He knew that Chloe wanted to know the truth, and Damian insisted so much that Chloe decided to ask him about those documents.
Chloe finally asked Damian if murdering the Marquise was also part of his plan. Damian explained to Chloe that he was not the one who killed the Marquise. She was wondering if he was the one who framed her as the culprit.
Damian told Chloe he only did it because he loved her; he explained to her that he desired her heart, and that’s why he had to steal it.
Damian told Chloe she could resent him all she wanted; he was ready to bear her screaming and striking. Damian mentioned that they were a married couple, so it should be considered that disagreements were part of his matrimony.
He did not want Chloe to let her emotions obscure the fundamental truth. Chloe was curious about what it could be because she knew that the day they first met, Damian fell in love with the glint of gold and not her.
She knew that he only intended to use her father, who had repeatedly bowed his head in gratitude. Chloe could not forget that the person who claimed to believe his innocence while also allowing her to stand trial in that chilling courtroom was none other than her husband.
Chloe told Damian he should not have done those things, and Damian told Chloe none of them were that important. He told her that the fundamental truth was that he was in love with her.
Chloe asked him if he murdered his majesty as well, and Damian confirmed that he murdered him because he had grown tired of him shielding his deranged son.
Recap
Damian could not accept such a man reigning as the sovereign of the nation. Damian believed that if he had an inept son like that, he would have personally beheaded him to preserve his honor.
He considered it more honorable to die than to live in disgrace by being subjected to constant mockery. Damian almost had a miscarriage because of all the stress after hearing his explanation.
But fortunately, after checking her condition, the doctor informed Damian that the baby was unharmed. He advised Damian that Chloe needed to fully rest for the time being.
Chloe advised Damian to return to Swane because she believed Damian had urgent matters to attend to there. Damian told Chloe that nothing was so important that they had to leave his sick wife alone to complete his task.
Chloe told him she wanted to be alone, so she wanted Damian to leave her alone. Chloe told Damian he should leave the room if he did not want to lose the child.
Damian told Chloe that ever since he found out the pregnancy was taking a toll on her health, he had lost love for the child. Damian left the room and told her to rest well.
Chloe realized that everything happened according to his plan. She knew he was a calculating man, and she believed that he was fully aware of the lengths he went to for the people she loved.
Chloe was sure that Damian knew that she could muster extraordinary strength for their sake. She promised her baby to be safe in every situation.
