Resumen

"Isla." Staring at relief, regret, happiness and maybe....love, Isla could not believe the man at her front was her husband, even if his appearance had not changed since her escape from the Hayes Duchy. Compared to the indifference he clearly expressed during their five years of marriage, she wanted to laugh out loud, as she understood the reason for his disgusting emotions. "Duke, you finally decided to find me, after your wife's child was proven not to be yours?" Sarcasm laced her tone as painful memories resurfaced in Isla's head. Duke Hayes looked at his first wife, who gave him nothing but pure love in their marriage. However, he pursued another love with intentions and now he became the biggest fool. "Isla, I know I do not owe you an explanation, but please think of our child." he begged, desperately. He wanted her and the child back in his life. The child that links him to Isla, his one and only real wife. The person who loved him and he will do anything to bring back that love. "Our child or my child, Duke?" Isla sharply retorted. Then, with a blank stare, she warned icily. " Choose your words carefully, Dante." The Trial Love Series: His Unforgiving Duchess. His Arrogant Marchioness. (2024-2025) His Cold Baroness.

Chapter 1Her Little Villain (1)

''Congratulations, your Grace. You are pregnant.'' said a middle-aged man settled on a chair by the bedside. He removed his two first fingers from a smooth, dainty white wrist and placed his hand with the other one on his lap.Then he lifted his gaze to the beautiful woman on the bed, who seemed not to hear his words because of her dazed look, and her eyes appeared to be clouded, like she was not with the him at the moment..

Not getting a response from her, the middle-aged man, a doctor, was lost on what to do. Flicking his glasses with his middle finger, a burst of awkward laughter escaped his lips. He turned to the butler, who stood not far away from them.

''Her grace is finally with a young master,'' The butler muttered in disbelief with his strands of gray hair hovering over his forehead. His gaze met the doctor's helping gaze, and he inquired, ''How long has her grace been pregnant?''

''About one week, to be precise,'' The doctor replied, and still seeing the butler's doubtful gaze, he added to dispel his doubt, ''I can confirm with the new medical equipment.''

Realizing his minor mistake, the butler coughed out, ''No, thank you, Baron Stewart.''

'' How can I question your medical abilities when I am not his grace?'' The butler shook his head to deny the suggestion and returned to his prim and proper self in his butler's uniform.

''..My lady is pregnant,'' A hoarse whisper joined their conversation. Simultaneously, they looked at the teary personal maid of the beautiful lady. She stood beside the butler with her happy but teary look, like the pregnancy announcement was joyful.

Normally, the butler would have corrected her words, but his lips curled into a sad smile. ''Yes, her grace is pregnant.''

'Hopefully, with the child on the way, her grace will not be lonely, and his grace....' The butler did not finish the words in his heart as he did not want to have false perceptions about his master even though the latter was wrong.

The maid, who could not contain her excitement, did a tiny jittery jump and moved from her position to the doctor's side. She gently shook the beautiful lady's shoulder with her cheery voice, ''My lady, you are pregnant.''

''Amelia!'' The butler's gaze turned sharp like a tigress watching out for her cubs. He wanted to warn the maid to be careful with his mistress's body, but a weak voice stopped him from doing so.

''A-Amelia?"

Everyone present in the room turned to the beautiful lady on the bed. She looked wide-eyed at her personal maid, Amelia.

''You are alive?'' Her words came out as an uncertain whisper

The maid furrowed her eyebrows at her words and called out questioningly after removing her hand, ''My lady?''

Seeing that her personal maid was truly at a young age, she slowly turned to the doctor and then the butler. Something flashed in her oceanic blue eyes, and she asked, ''Spencer, what are you doing here, in the villa? I thought my father did not allow anyone in?''

The maid paused like she heard something shocking, and the butler was equally shocked as her but also disturbed.

''My lady...This is not the Grand-duchy, but the Hayes duchy,'' He clarified like he was talking to a child.

The butler, once again, displayed his tigress aura and pierced his gaze at the doctor, ''I hope there is nothing with her grace and the young master, Baron Stewart?''

''N-No.'' Baron's Stewart's back broke out in a sweat, and He lifted his hands in a surrendering gesture, ''Both mother and child are fine. However, her grace must never stand too long, or she will be stressed, and that is not good for the growing baby.''

''Child?'' Another uncertain whisper came from his side. After a momentary pause, the beautiful lady's oceanic blue eyes shook like she realized something.

The butler withdrew his protective gaze and looked at his mistress gently, ''Yes, Your grace. You are one week pregnant.''

Contrary to their expectations, the beautiful lady did not ask any more weird questions.

With her hand on the flat abdomen hidden behind the blanket, her tense shoulders relaxed with her back on the backrest. Her eyes surveyed the room for a while, and then she did something that made the butler display his previous gaze to the doctor.

A solitary tear leaked from her eyes and trailed down her milky white cheeks, and she mumbled, in the quiet room, ''..My baby.''

More glistening tears dropped on the blanket on her lap, and a mournful but elated smile graced her lips, ''My sweet baby.''

''My baby,'' She repeated the two words like chants while staring and rubbing her abdomen lovingly.

''Mother is here for you now, my little villain.''

----

''Once again, I am fine, Amelia.''

Amelia looked at her lady for a while, then withdrew her gaze since there was no trace of tears like before. She took the silver tray on the nightstand with an empty glass cup and a plate of eaten sliced fruits on it.

''My lady, don't forget Baron Stewart's words. You must never be sad, so the baby can grow happily,'' Amelia seriously reminded. She then bowed and left the room, ''Call me if you need anything, my lady.''

The woman stared at the door closed for a while, then returned her gaze to the window with a grin. ''You never change, Amelia. Always calling me, my lady and not duchess.''

She watched the flowers preparing to bloom after the cold winter with her hand on her abdomen. Her hand never left it, even while taking bites of the sliced fruits.

''I am truly back,'' She murmured, giving her tummy one more rub.

The luxurious ceiling, the familiar chandelier, the fancy decor, the recognizable pieces of furniture, and the youthful face of her maid told her as much.

She was back to the age of twenty-one, and the period she discovered her pregnancy.

''But...this is my third life, or else how would I discover that you are the villain in a novel, my son.''

In her first life, she had everything; Amazing parents, money, an envious job, a reliable husband, and wonderful friends. Her life was nearly perfect with all that, but she wanted one thing: a baby.

Her husband and she were married for a year, and were prepared to have a baby. While doing that, one of her friends bought a book for her bearing the name His Aurora.

The book featured the life of a commoner girl named Aurora, who later got adopted into a powerful marquess's family.Then, the story was quite nice, in her opinion, but there was one thing she did not like about it.

The villain's backstory.

The villain was the half-brother of the male lead of the story. His father fell in love with his mother, a commoner who opened a new bakery. The bread reminded him of his mother, who also used to bake when she was alive. From then on, he visited the shop in disguise and fell in love with the male lead's mother.

To anyone, that part of the story would be perfect and romantic, but there was a flaw. The villain's father was married to a Grand duke's daughter.

That is where her situation comes in. She became the villain's mother from birth, but without her first life's memories in her second life.

''If I had them, I would have saved you, my son, but mother was useless,'' Looking down to her belly, she grinned sadly, ''She was dwelling in her misery of not being loved from her young age.''

Like the villain, the mother also had a sad backstory. The Grand duke lost his precious wife from birth and avoided the child. Since then, the relationship between father and daughter was weak, and when the engagement with the male lead's father came, she thought her life might get better, but it turned out for the worse.

The male lead's father did not look in her way nor try to love her. The only contact they had was sleeping together for the creation of an heir, and there were dates for that.

Devastated by her husband's behavior, the villain's mother was almost depressed. She just kept quiet and did her duty as a duchess and mother, even when it felt like everyone had turned against her.

The four things that completely broke were her husband's affair, his mistress's pregnancy, the divorce and her son's death..

''Your death made me very depressed, and I guess I died because of it,'' The villain's mother, Isla Elrod continued to smile. It was a very painful smile, just like it was stated in the novel.

'Isla continued to smile despite everything that happened to her.'

''You suffered from my absence in this duchy after the divorce, and your father ignoring you like you were not his son. You must have felt there was no place for you in his new family.'' Isla continued to talk, even though there was no one in the bedroom listening to her story. Her eyes were not teary but empty and clouded like she had returned to her second life, her tragic second life.

''Our backstories might be different, but we suffered similarly, my dear son.''

"Give me 100,000 taels of gold, and I will agree to it." After the wedding was called off, rumors that she was abandoned by her husband were spread in the capital city. Since she couldn't become a consort in Huainan, it'd be difficult for her to get married to anyone else. To everyone's surprise, a noble lord stepped forward. "What's wrong with marrying her?"

Making the second male lead fall in love with me, the villainess

last installment now serializing! just search 'The transmigrated Villainess after her fall' Add to lib and vote!!!! Thank you all!!!!!!! WARNING: MATURE CONTENT CHAPTER EXCERPT -- “Wait, someone might see.” Charlton said, recalling the glass window. “I’m prepared for that.” Serena replied as she bent to open her bag on the floor and then took out a film like looking sticker. “I found this at the market yesterday.” “I must say that I’m ill-prepared for this.” He noted as he furrowed his brows. Serena stood up and gave him the sticker. Then she placed her right hand on the bulge of his pants, directly gripping his erection. “Well, I must say that you’re not. Now, do place the sticker on the window.” — Serena Chen lived a life filled with love and success, while devoid of any hardship. So, when it was time to go, she went peacefully. However, as if fate was playing its game on her, she opened her eyes again only to discover that she has transmigrated as Serena Maxwell, the villainess in the novel "A Cinderella story in Victorian fantasy era" written by her very own granddaughter. Set in a Victorian-esque era, Serena Lilianne Maxwell was the only daughter of the Ducal house of Maxwell. She was rich, beautiful, a little haughty, and the fiancé of the crown prince. Every lady wants to be her, but sadly, the crown prince, Geoffrey, fell in love with Emily Evans, the daughter of an impoverished Baron. Seeing how young and beautiful she was again, her only thought was, since she already lived her past life as a normal decent lady, why not live as a semi-wanton lady of the era to fulfill her fantasies? Thus, she set her sights on her first target, Charlton Daniel, the only son of the duke of Suffox, cousin of the crown prince, and the original novel's second male lead. After some twists and turns, like any other sappy romantic story, the two inevitably fell in love. However, contrary to the novel's original plot, Geoffrey, the crown prince, who Serena was still politically engaged to, fell for her. It would have been less complicated if the engagement was not one ordained by the king, but it was. With this situation, what would Charlton and Serena have to do and what sacrifices must they make, to get to their happily ever after? Join them to find out. -- This novel will have romance, adventure, comedy, friendship, betrayal, politics, drama, smut, and so much more. (This will be a feast for historical drama and music lovers) Just for clarification, the world Serena transmigrated to is a Victorian-esque era so it's not exactly historically accurate. Timelines may be jumbled specially when it comes to some technological advances, but I try to keep them as realistic as possible. BTW, if anyone is curious about the age, this is more historically accurate. People in Victorian era marries on average, 26 for male, and never dropped lower than 22 for female. PS Cover art not mine, just edited by me PSS This is an original story I wrote — I also wish to thank Stephanie who made this MV for our Serena Charlton ship. If anyone’s interested, please just search in youtube: Serena charlton against all odds Or if you are geoffrey serena shipper she also made these MVs: Geoffrey & Serena part(1) Geoffrey & Serena part(2) Geoffrey & Serena part(3) and Geoffrey & Serena part (4) Thank you!!! — Volume 3 will be dark so if you dont like then just stop reading in volume 2.
