In our young marriage, I almost died of poisoning. The culprit was my own mother-in-law, Belle's mother. That old woman originally intended to poison Ragen, my mother.

However, the food she served reached my plate and I ended up having to swallow the deadly poison.

Belle was the one who saved me. Before the ambulance came, she pulled out my stomach contents with her own hands. My life would have been in danger without her first aid.

Afterward, Ragen accused that woman and kicked her out of our mansion. For a whole year, Belle never stopped crying in her room because of that incident. She constantly blamed herself for what happened to me.

'My mother... she has been blinded by power. She wanted to kill you so that I could get your family's inheritance!' I'll never forget that sentence, which she always said every time she woke up from her nightmares.

I couldn't bring myself to tell her the truth. That her mother intended to kill my mother because she disliked her nature, not because of

    "You can't run around in the corridor! It's dangerous!" a girl screeched. Her soft voice reminded me of one of Belle's favorite maids. They had been friends since childhood, Belle even considered the maid as part of her family.'What's her name again!?’ I tried to remember who the maid was. No luck. Maybe the accident made some of my memories disappear.But I'm pretty sure the girl I heard earlier was Belle's favorite maid. I lifted my feet and headed outside, looking for where the girl had run off to.I lost track of her. I should have chased them as soon as I heard the scream. My steps ran here and there, colliding with many patients in the corridor and even causing a commotion.My efforts were not in vain. I found them walking into the elevator on the third floor. It's just that I lost track of them. I didn't catch up, and the elevator doors had already closed.It didn't matter. I could use the stairs. Besides, I doubted they would welcome me warmly if they knew who was chasing them

    Natalia Starling's POVA warm, sticky, red dot fell on the surface of an incompletely peeled apple slice. The red liquid reflected a wound, not from a hand that had stopped its work. Instead, it fell from the nostrils of a woman who had lost all semblance of a face."What are you looking at?" That woman, me myself, threw a temper tantrum at anyone who passed by. "Do you think this is a spectacle? You think just because Mattheo left me, you can do whatever you want to me?"Yet not a single servant dared to contradict me. This large mansion still stands with me as its Mistress. Losing one supporting pillar made something inside me scream in fear. The horror of all my struggles so far would vanish in the blink of an eye."You! Throw away this apple! I said Mandarine apples! Are you fucking deaf!?" I threw it at a window, breaking a fireplace in my room. Adding insult to injury after a few weeks of losing the man I loved."We'll replace them with new o

    "What about Ragen?" Glancing at me, he asked that question while the bitterness on his face hid something.'Hoo.' I smiled silently. If I knew it was this easy to manipulate him, I would have done it two weeks ago when Ragen locked me up here."You just say I went berserk, managed to escape, and you're chasing me," I replied simply. "Everything can be arranged as long as you show me where Robert is."He didn't mince words. I guess that's how much he hated women, to the point where he was pulling my hand away from my room.I deliberately did not mention Mattheo's name in my request, but rather Robert, a very important person to him. If I knew where Robert was, it would be like catching two birds in one cage.Mattheo would be with Robert to protect him. I just needed to find him after that."Hurry up a bit. I don't want to lose track of him again," I nudged, Andrew who was driving in front.How ridiculous. After two weeks of being locked up in the mansion by the old woman who dragged me

    “Please! Don't ignore me!” I called out loudly. It was so hard to reach his quick steps that he seemed to be running away from me. “I guarantee you won't regret hearing this, Luke Davis. I'm the person you want to work with.”It works. Although it didn't take away the look of anger and disgust on that cold, handsome face, Luke Davis stopped his steps right in front of the already-lit elevator doors.“Who are you?” he asked, fierce. “I don't have time for a woman like you.”'Haha.' I laughed inwardly in horror. The rumors were true, Luke was a cruel man, as well as a psychopath. Before this, there had never been a man who seriously ignored my beauty, despite how annoying my true nature was.But Luke Davis was the first man to reject my existence. As if his heart was already dedicated to one woman.I reached inside my black leather bag, looking for something I thought was still in there. 'Come on, found it!' I squealed with delight. I handed the gold-plated business card to his face tha

    The two of us deliberately let Mattheo get to the fifth floor first to meet Angel.Before Mattheo called the girl, Luke stepped in as the main character.The conversation we had arranged would make Mattheo feel depressed. And here, my role would triumph.When Mattheo is devastated by his wife, I will come as the god of help who reaches out to him. I'll make him fall into a mud pit, let him drown, and then rescue him.Even the craziest of men would not hold back tears, at the helping hand in the deepest hole he'd fallen into.I've been thinking of a plan like this for a long time. When manipulation, hatred, and false scenarios, nothing worked to keep them apart, then it was now their turn to finish it themselves.While waiting for my plan to go smoothly, I watched the grand event of my actors on a surveillance camera.Luke, Mattheo, and Belle, the three main characters in the script I had written, were now in my hands. All that's left is to wait for my man, Mattheo, to be destroyed, th

    “Ouch!”He flicked my head a second time.“Our goal isn't prison bars, you idiot,” he said irritably. “I just want to hear your plan, what your strategy is going forward to keep those two away. If I like it, I'll help you.”“And if you don't like it?” I retorted.His head tilted towards me, his lips smirking, “I'll make you replace it with my plan.”‘Fuck.' I knew it. Robert couldn't possibly be that good at obeying me. In his common sense, he had his way of separating Mattheo and Belle.Both of them, whatever it was would benefit me simultaneously. The difference is, I don't want to be on the bad side of Mattheo's view! I intend to make him fall in love with me and forget about Belle.But what's the point if Mattheo hates me first? Considering how much of an asshole Robert was, it seemed that instead of making Mattheo fall in love, he would plan to make the Sinclair family hate me.“Alright. This is my plan, listen it,” I commanded taking his attention.From how I exploited Belle's c

    “N-no.” She was surprised by my question and then avoided it. “You are just very close to Sir Luke Davis.”Amusement tickled my stomach when I realized that's what she was talking about. “Really? I didn't realize. Is that how you see it?”The tiny little face nodded slowly. One incident she mentioned, was where she almost forgot how my face looked when I smiled. Before the wedding, he said I was a woman who was always cheap with a smile.“But when you knew Sir Mattheo, you never looked happy,” she said though her face was unable to look back at me. “But right now, you look so happy. It's so rare to see you smile without coercion. Which makes me happy for you.”“Happy? Sure,” I muttered, now reflecting on myself.What the girl said was not entirely wrong, but it was not entirely right either. I was happy with my marriage to Mattheo. Even when I knew it was just an arranged marriage to unite our companies, I was still happy because I could love him.Even though our marriage was just a t
