---- Chapter 1 Everyone knew that Selena Crawford was Edmund Gilead's most devoted simp. Even their marriage was something she earned by donating a kidney to the woman Edmund loved. Selena asked for nothing in return. She only wanted Edmund to propose to her once on the peak of Mount Versuval . She didn't even ask for a diamond ring or insist on having witnesses.
