How To End This Marriage
Sold to the Duke of the Empire, I still had hopes of a happy marriage in my heart as I'd liked the Duke for a very long time. I wanted to give the Duke my everything, even if it was just a political marriage. I tried my best to fulfill the marriage but Alexavier Agnes, the man I got married to never showed up in our bedroom even once after six months of our marriage. One day while having dinner we had a small quarrel and he dashed out of the room fuming and panting in anger. That was also the night when my screams and cries echoed in pure darkness as I was murdered brutally by some assassins. Why was I killed? Why did my husband hate me so much? Why did he not show up in our bedroom for six months? There's so many questions I didn't know the answers to. I shed tears of blood as I took my last breaths and swore to myself that if I get a next life I'll never marry this man again. ... Turns out God listened to my prayers as I woke up as my younger self... But I failed to stop my marriage with him. And something strange happened as he unexpectedly showed up in our room on our very first night. "I only married you to save the marquis's fortune." I paused before adding, "I'll divorce you in an year." His brows furrowed as he growled, "You can not divorce me." Why? Why does he not want to divorce? He hates me and I hate him back, divorce is the best option for us. Then why? Just what changed this time?
The Seduction
"He will never take your side, Bernice Balliol! He will never look at you again!"
"Ha! What are you saying? He won't come to me? You are trying to pull me down again with your words, aren't you? I know it! Now, move aside and let me go. My husband must be waiting for me," the Duchess said, trying to push the princess away, but it was useless. The princess wouldn't let her out, pushing her back once more.
"Didn't I say he doesn't want to look at you? Can't you understand? You two are divorced. The contract is over, and he has accepted the truth after learning you murdered someone. He no longer wants to be with you, and having any part of your life is unacceptable to him," the princess said, glaring at the Duchess, who was already flinching while lying on the bloodstained floor.
"No! This is all a lie. You are trying to manipulate me, but I will never let that happen. So, get out of my way. I will see my husband," she said.
