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

"What did you say?" Vernon scowled.

"Don't get angry at me. You should listen to me first, right? You have the right to know everything that happened. That was why I came to you," The man spoke sincerely, while looking straight into Vernon's eyes, showing he was sincere and not afraid because he was telling the truth and nothing else.

Vernon raised his eyebrow. He did not say anything except: "Tell me what you want to say."

It wasn't clear if he trusted the man or not, but the man felt relaxed that Vernon was ready to listen to him.

"I saw Helena talking to him," The man said.

"Who?" Vernon crossed his arms and asked.

"The Prince. Who else?" The man said.

Vernon narrowed his eyes, "So? He was our guest. How could Helena not talk to our guest? Just because she talked to him, she became responsible for my sister-in-law's kidnap?"

Vernon is violent? Yes!
