I went to prison instead of my husband.
After seven years, when I finally returned to him, my husband asked for a divorce.
āHow about Viscount Ventink?ā
He even introduced me to an old, sick man as my new husband.
āThey say he wonāt live past the year. At least youāll live the rest of your life as a noble.ā
āā¦I donāt understand what you mean.ā
āIām saying I want a divorce.ā
But the divorce was only the beginning.
He killed the rest of my family and took all our wealth for himself.
And beside the man who stole everything from me was my cousin, Hedia.
āItās your fault for losing everything. Youāre too naive. Who would love someone abandoned even by her own family?ā
Betrayed by the two of them, I died.
But then, I came backābefore the marriage, when I was 19.
āI wonāt be stupid again. This time, Iāll live as the villain.ā
I tried to live as the villain, butā
āIf what you want is my destruction, then maybe thatās fine with me.ā
My corrupted ex-husband became obsessed with me, andā
āWhen your revenge is over, will you marry me?ā
A strange investigator named Adan, who had been chasing me, caught me instead.
āMy revenge will take a very long time.ā
āThatās fine.ā
āWe canāt be together. You know that.ā
āNo. You and I are partners in crime. Whether the end is heaven or hell, weāll face it together.ā
His fingers wrapped around mine like handcuffs, burning with heat.
In this life, I was supposed to be the villain.
But he was choosing to become a villain for me.
