Leorote

Ten years of marriage.
	Known since childhood.
	Yet, he felt he had never known her.
	What he saw was a loving and gentle wife. But what he heard about her from others had always been different.

	One said she married him for his money.
	One said she seduced a Prince behind his back.
	One said she spiked her sister and sent her to a man’s bed.
	One said she tortured the servants behind his back.
	One said…
	He had heard many such things but never believed anyone.

	Until one day, he saw how she scolded his brother, slapped his sister-in-law in the face, and pushed his nephew into the pool.
	He couldn’t take it anymore and asked for a divorce but she rejected to his face.
	Then he heard the news that she obtained the shares of their company and was about to overturn his brother’s position.

	“How did she turn into a scheming wife?” he asked, not really expecting any answers.

	But he got a chance. He woke up to the day he got married.

	He thought it was his chance to get rid of the woman from his life. He would save his brother and his family from his ‘wife’. He will get a divorce from her.
	But…
	Why couldn’t he get rid of this wife at all?
	Had she been so scheming all her life? Clearly not.

	In this life, he started seeing her life the way he had not seen before. From her perspective, she had shed tears without him knowing.

	He realized that he had been a bad husband all along.

	Suddenly his life changed from trying to divorce her to changing her ‘fate’.
	Who would win in this battle?
	Her fate of becoming a scheming woman? Or his determination and … love?

Awakening of the Scheming Wife

He steeled himself and turned to his father-in-law, "Ehehe. I am sorry, father."

"..." Father Ford's lips twitched. He did not know if he should be happy or sad that his son-in-law followed his daughter's words and was even scared of her.

"Ehem. We have an important event we have to attend tonight. So, we have no choice either. We need to leave now if we could get ready and attend it," Vernon said seriously.

Looking at his serious expression, Father Ford was unsure if he was telling the truth or not. Anyway, he already understood that his daughter wouldn't stay no matter what. So he casually nodded and let them leave.

Just when they reached the door, Helena stopped. Without turning back, she spoke, "I will inform you of the time for our trip. Be ready by then."

Father Ford's lowered head jerked upwards at once. He excitedly nodded, "Okay, okay. Take care on your way. Don't rush. Be careful. Call me if you need anything."

Leon is a creep? Maybe!
