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

"Thank you so much," Helena thanked the in-charge before exiting the cemetery.

"Here," She gave the details she found of the man to Vernon, who was waiting outside for her.

She smiled as she read the card along with him, "So, his name is Merlin? Merlin Presley. Finally found his name. But sadly I shouldn't call him, right? Or he would be suspicious."

Vernon sighed and nodded, "Yes. But do you really want to talk to him that much? You look a bit too disappointed, don't you?"

Helena casually shrugged and walked towards the car, "Let's go. I think your news seems a bit urgent. Let's go and give him a call as soon as possible."

Vernon followed along and got into the car without another word.

The cemetery was on the outskirts of the city. So, it took them a while before they reached the city and found a public phone booth.

The couple entered the booth and Vernon dialed the number.

Well wisher? Yes!
