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

"You adopted someone? Is it a dolphin?" Jim's throat felt stuck but he still asked.

He could already see that the one he had 'adopted' was a 'fish' in the sea. The bowl he was holding was food for his 'fish'.

Jim could only wish that the 'fish' that he had adopted was a dolphin and not what he was thinking.

Merlin did not reply this time. He just chuckled and started to throw the food in his bowl to the sea.

Jim could hear huge splashes from the water.

"Good boy. Are you hungry? Don't worry. I got you some food today," Merlin smiled and spoke to the waters.

'Food? Please tell me he didn't mean me.' Jim prayed to himself.

But his prayers went unanswered as Merlin looked at him straight.

"B…boss?" Jim crawled a little to the back when he saw his gaze that resembled a predator's.

Merlin looked at his men, "What are you waiting for? Where is the rope?"

One chance? Sure!
