Married To The Cursed Monarch
[ Matured Content]
Carmela never wanted to marry Logan Cross, the cursed and forgotten fifth prince. Exiled to a lonely, crumbling palace, Logan was treated like he didn’t exist. When Carmela’s family was forced to offer one of their daughters to marry him, she was chosen against her will.
Bitter and angry, Carmela treated Logan cruelly. She ignored him, betrayed him, and eventually ran away with another man. But that man only used her for money and power and secretly loved her sister.
By the time Carmela realized her mistake, Logan had become king. No longer the quiet outcast, he was now powerful and feared. And his first act as ruler? Sentencing Carmela, his unfaithful wife to death.
As the guillotine blade fell, Carmela closed her eyes.
But when she opened them… she was back. Ten years in the past, on her wedding day.
This time, she vows to love and protect Logan. But will he ever trust her again? And what if the curse that ruined his life isn’t what it seems?
Here’s the excerpt in a simpler and more understandable version, keeping the emotional intensity intact:

Excerpt:
The smell of blood hung in the air.
Carmela’s knees hurt against the cold wooden platform. Chains dug into her wrists as the guards forced her down. The crowd below cheered loudly, their faces full of anger and disgust.
But it was too late.
The executioner stood above her, hands ready on the guillotine’s lever. The blade, sharp and stained with old blood, shone in the gray light.
“Adulteress,” the royal advisor said. “Traitor to the Crown. Unworthy of the king’s mercy.”
Carmela looked up, her tear-streaked face searching the throne.
And there he was.
Logan Cross.
No longer the forgotten prince she had abandoned. No longer weak or ignored. Now, he was a king strong, feared, and cold. His golden eyes, once empty and sad, now burned with anger. His mouth was set in a firm line as he watched, emotionless.
She had done this.
She had hurt him, betrayed him, left him alone. And now… she loved him.
But it was too late.
“Your Majesty,” the executioner said, waiting.
Logan’s eyes met hers for just a moment. She couldn’t read what he felt.
“Proceed,” he said.
Carmela’s breath caught.
The blade dropped.
Darkness swallowed her.
Then—
She woke up.
