“I gave you my soul in my last life. In this one, I’ll settle for your crown.”
~
In my first life, I was the devoted Queen. I waited two months for my husband, King Lauren, to return from the front lines—only for him to walk through the palace gates with a beautiful young maiden by his side and a decree in his hand: ‘She would be the new Queen’.
And because of that evil beauty he brought to our kingdom, I died a discarded "nobody," executed for a crime I didn't commit.
But death didn't take me. It sent me back.
I woke up on the morning of his return. The crowds are cheering, the flowers are blooming, and my husband is about to humiliate me in front of the entire kingdom.
But he doesn't know I've changed. He doesn't know I've returned with a special skill that makes me the most dangerous woman in the room.
Before he can introduce his "New Queen," I hand him the one thing no one in this kingdom has ever dared to ask for: Divorce papers.
In our land, a Queen asking for divorce is an abomination punishable by stoning.
But Lauren thinks I’m bluffing. He looks me in the eye, tears my petition to shreds, and growls, “You are my wife. I will never stamp those papers.”
He thinks he is keeping me trapped. He doesn't realize he has trapped himself in a palace with a woman who knows every one of his secrets—and is prepared to burn his kingdom to the ground just to see him sign his name.
My goal is simple; I will make him fall... not in love, but to his knees.
Since he spent my first life making me cry. I’ll spend my second making him bleed.

The moment I embraced her, it felt like I had been made whole once again and I tightened my hold around her before planting a loving kiss on the top of her head before resting my chin on it.


"I have missed you even though we were apart for a few hours." I truthfully said and she hummed in delight as she further buried her head in my chest.


"I miss you more, my lord. I was restless and couldn't sit still," she revealed and I sighed before slowly pulling away slightly to kiss her forehead. Then I looked her in the eyes and said, "There is no need to be restless when you always have me to yourself. I belong to no one except you, my love."


Her eyes lit up in warmth and she beamed so brightly that it made me all the more happier.


"Have you met with my sister?" I curiously asked and she shook her head.


"I didn't want to meet her when you weren't around. I fear that she may not like me," she voiced out her concern and I smiled as I cupped the side of her face.
