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

Looking at his serious expression, the other three looked at him in confusion.

Jemma patted Vincent's arm and gave him a nod, telling him to talk to Vernon.

Since Vernon wanted to talk about something to him in private, she wouldn't interfere.

Vincent nodded and pointed his chin towards a place where the crowd was less for Vernon to see.

The two brothers turned in that direction to walk.

[What does he want to talk to Brother Vincent about?]

Vernon heard Helena's doubts and stopped for a second. He looked at her and gave a smile as if he was asking her permission if she could stay with the guests without him for a while.

Helena smiled back and nodded, "Go. I have Sister Jemma with me anyway."

Even though she had her doubts, she wouldn't ask him. If he doesn't want her to know, she wouldn't pry either.
