One Betrayal Is Enough — A vampire duchess divorces her husband of seventy years after he betrays their marriage vow.

After seventy years of marriage, the narrator watches her husband Adrian profess eternal devotion in a documentary, only to receive footage of him biting a young human woman in a hotel corridor and telling her he belongs to her until sunrise. Adrian dismisses the encounter as a fleeting diversion, arguing that their shared eternity outweighs stolen nights, but the narrator recalls their wedding promise: one betrayal voids the marriage forever. She leaves him, taking her assets and building a new life over the following centuries, while the immortal duke remains alone in the long night, unable to regain her love.
