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

Seeing the shark's happy back swimming in the sea, Merlin smiled and continued to enjoy his fish.

There was no more screaming or groaning from pain. There was no more flapping around the cruise ship in the water.

With no sounds, the only sound that could be heard was the sound of the fish frying.

They could smell the frying fish and the spices added to it. But Merlin felt a light scent of blood with his sharp senses and frowned.

He wanted to enjoy this fish. Even though he did not usually care about the smell of blood, it wasn't exactly his favorite either.

He just casually looked at his men and twirled his index finger in the air.

Immediately they got some water and mops and whatnot before hurrying around to clean the area.

In a few minutes, the entire deck shone with sparkles.

They had done this so many times that they did not need too much time to get such an excellent result.

Romantic? No!
