Description of My Husband Chose Her Over Me
Elara grew up believing she was no one, a political orphan married to Prince Caden of Verloren. Her life at the palace seems to be silent and in shadows as she is ignored and dismissed by her own husband. Her self-confidence is also rock bottom as she feels alone and not heard.

And when you think that things can’t go worse, Prince Caden favors another woman over Elara. Her heart is broken, her dignity on the ground, and she decides to flee but destiny has other plans.
There is now a turn of fate as Elara finds out she is the long-lost heir to Verdana, Verloren’s most powerful competitor. She is no longer the palace’s greatest shame but is now the most powerful threat to the man who betrayed and humiliated her.
Plot of My Husband Chose Her Over Me
This story starts off with Elara already being married to Prince Caden. Their marriage is a political union formed without love. Once she arrives at Verloren, she quickly understands she is not welcome there as Prince Caden shows affection to another woman. Elara is humiliated and saddened by the disrespect she is shown by her husband and decides to run away.
She leaves and leads another life until she gets found by the loyal forces of Verdana. They reveal her true identity and that is the true heir to the Verdana family with royal blood. This revelation emboldens and empowers Elara as she returns to her hometown where she gets the respect she now deserves.
As Elara gets settled in her new role a battle between Verdana and Verloren brews. To prevent it from spilling over, Elara must return to Verloren for a negotiation. It is there where she comes face to face with Prince Caden once again. When they meet this time Prince Caden is completely different. He is not cold, distant, or cruel, instead, he is remorseful, desperate, and vulnerable. He wants to put the past wrongs right and make it up to Elara.
Prince Caden explains that most of his cruelty was forced upon him by his royal advisors and family members. He swears he was looking for Elara when she left the palace, never giving up on the love she had for her.
Now Elara has one week to decide the future of the two kingdoms as well as her own heart. She must navigate buried emotions, hard truths, and intrigue, as she decides if she risks everything for love or does she protect her crown.

****
Princess Elara grew up believing she was just a pawn in a royal marriage—an orphan sent to wed cold, distant Prince Caden of enemy kingdom Verloren. She was ignored, insulted, and invisible.
Until everything changed.
Elara discovers she’s no ordinary bride, she’s the hidden heir to Verdana, Verloren’s more powerful neighbour. One moment she’s the court’s laughingstock. The next, she’s its greatest threat.
Now back in her rightful place, Elara is finally seen, finally powerful. But just as she begins to claim her crown, war threatens to erupt. To stop it, she must return to the kingdom—and husband, that betrayed her.
But things aren’t as simple as they seem. Caden isn’t the heartless prince she remembers—and he’s been searching for her all along.
With one week to stop a war, protect her throne, and choose between duty and desire, Elara must decide:
Will she follow her heart or her crown?

ELARA’S POV
The crystal champagne flute trembled in my hand as I watched my husband of three years move through the crowd like a predator among prey. Polished and pristine in his midnight blue formal attire, Prince Caden Verloren was the picture of royal perfection—a masterpiece I once believed I had some part in creating.
"You've barely touched your drink, Your Highness," Lady Mirabelle whispered, her voice dripping with false concern. "Is something troubling you this evening?"
I forced my lips into the practiced smile that had become as much a part of my royal wardrobe as the heavy crown that often adorned my head.
"Not at all," I lied. "Just savoring the moment."
What a bitter thing to savor. The Grand Hall of Verloren Palace glittered with more jewels and secrets than stars in the night sky. I'd grown accustomed to both during my years as Caden's wife, though neither brought me comfort anymore.
"He looks especially handsome tonight," another courtier remarked, her eyes following my husband's movements with poorly disguised hunger. "The future king in his element."
"Indeed," I replied, the single word nearly choking me.
I remembered a time when Caden's smile had been reserved for me alone. When his hand would find mine beneath the table during tedious state dinners. When his eyes would seek mine across crowded rooms just like this one, a silent promise that we were in this together.
Those days had vanished like morning mist before the summer sun.
"Elara." My mother-in-law's voice cut through my thoughts. Queen Arielle approached with the silent grace of a viper. "Do fix your posture, dear. A queen never slumps."
"I'm not a queen, Your Majesty," I reminded her, though I straightened my spine nonetheless. "Merely a princess."
