Synopsis

I Can’t Get A Divorce Because The Duke’s Is Too Fond Of Me! Chapter 45 has been released. A delicate smile plays on the lips of her stepson, Edwin, as he delivers the ultimatum that shatters Ione's carefully crafted escape plan – she will never be free to leave him behind. Yet another failed attempt at divorcing has left Ione feeling trapped within the gilded walls of the dukedom, bound by the subtle yet unyielding grip of its influential men who've grown accustomed to having her under their control. Despite playing the perfect duchess, retaining her virtue amidst whispers of illicit affairs and calculated manipulation, there remains one major obstacle standing in the way of her long-awaited freedom: his Highness himself, Edwin's father, the enigmatic Duke Aldrich, whose affections have woven themselves into the intricate tapestry of her existence, unwilling to relinquish the role she'd assumed so effortlessly. As Ione grapples with the uncomfortable realization that even her desire for separation might be tainted by genuine affection for those whose lives she'd sought to manipulate from the shadows, she becomes increasingly entangled in the web of alliances and agendas forged among the noble elite. Threats multiply, the mist surrounding Edwin's innocence begins to lift, revealing hints of ruthless ambition beneath his charming facade, forcing Ione to confront her own biases and priorities – all while struggling to preserve what little humanity remains intact amidst the game being played around her. Amidst heartwrenching revelations about the true nature of her would-be rescuers and herself, Ione finds it more difficult each day to decide whether continuing down this labyrinthine path yields any prospects of happiness, especially if breaking free requires destroying everything precious to her. Caught between holding onto memories made possible due to her love-hate relationship with this odd assortment of individuals and grasping for elusive release from obligations forced upon her at birth, only one thing is certain – abandoning the dream of escaping does not necessarily imply losing hope altogether.
