Rebirth of the Scheming Queen
The day Yancy Shepherd died, Benedict Page poisoned our dinner. His eyes were wild, and bloodshot, as he watched me writhe in agony. There was a madness in his gaze, but worse was the hatred, a disgust so deep it twisted his face into something unrecognizable.
"If it weren't for you forcing your way into our lives, Yancy wouldnβt have died from heartbreak. You ruined us! Itβs all your fault!"
A photo slipped from his trembling hand and landed at my feetβYancy at twenty, looking radiant, her smile as bright as a blooming flower.
I collapsed to the ground, my strength fading fast like a rose withering in the final grasp of winter. Helpless, I waited for the darkness to claim me, consumed by despair and bitter regret.
Why hadnβt I listened to the system and killed him when I had the chance?
But when I opened my eyes again, everything was different. I stood watching Benedict flee our engagement ceremony. My brother moved to chase after him, but I quietly raised a hand, stopping him. This time, things would be different.
