“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.

"I think I need to leave this place," I fearfully said and tried to get up but Peter firmly held me in place.


"Let us see it to the end, my love," he advised and I had no other choice.


If we do not see this to the end then when will we?


Besides, I wanted to get disconnected from Peculiar as soon as possible so I can have a free life.


And once I am disconnected from her, I shall disconnect myself from my father next because the fear I had for him at this point was frightening.


This means Peter's mother did all this just to be intimate with him so a part of her could be left inside him. That was dark and horrible.


But what surprised me the most was how he didn't bother with the fact that she was in him, or had he long accepted it?


It felt like he had become one with it and was even happy about it. It felt like it was something he wanted
