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

Helena narrowed her eyes and studied Vernon's expressions clearly.

She could see how frustrated the man was, but she did not feel pity for him.

No matter what his thoughts or plans were, in the end, it was she who was humiliated.

If not for him, she wouldn't have to go against her father who had to blackmail her.

She took a deep breath. "Fine. Whatever happened had happened. Let's put that in the past for now. I want to know what you want to do now. What are your plans for our future? What exactly are you thinking?

"This time, I want you to talk to my face instead of pulling such things behind my back. I don't care what you want. But I want you to tell it to my face. I think I am not asking for too much from you right?"

Vernon shook his head, "No. You aren't asking too much from me."

"Good. Now, please tell me." Helena intertwined her fingers on the table and looked straight into his eyes as she asked him to speak.

The Talk? Yes! 2
