“So what if he is his child, he does not belong to me!” These were the words of Anastasia all her life until she faced her doom. Anastasia, a young and naive woman, thought that duke Garrison was the most handsome and skilled man in the empire and married him. But she had no idea that traps and betrayals were waiting for her in the palace. Soon she was entangled in an embezzlement case and then her step son died saving her whom she had never paid attention to, and the blame comes to her. she cried and lamented for choosing the wrong persons and trusting the one who wanted her dead but her biggest regret was the child, Rowan! “Relationships are not made by blood, but by love and care. I was wrong all my life.. But now it's too late.” the feeble words of her heart died in the noise that was created by the wailing voices of spectators and hooves of the running carriages. “Anastasia Sopheriene killed her stepson, Rowan Sopheriene, for wealth and power. For her sins, she would be given the death penalty and all her wealth would be seized. Not only that, her parents would suffer the same fate. The royal court would personally witness the whole punishment. The court is adjourned for now.” the bang on the table decided her fate. She did not get the chance to speak. No one thought it was needed and so the story of A Villainess ended. But….. sometimes the god gives justice to the villainess too. When she opened her eyes, she was young again. Her eyes stared at the whole scene with relief and determination, “I will change the future of that child with me! This time… I know who is my enemy!” from there started a new story of power, love and the villainess who would never let her enemies rest. contact me on..

"What about you?" Nadia frowned, "it would be better if we go to the next town together. You can split your way from there." Mary's eyes softened. She looked at the girl with a tender look.
"I apologize, Nadia. But I have to return. I have some unfinished business in the palace. And I can not bring you with me." Nadia opened her mouth but closed it and nodded.
"I owe you this help. I will return the favor if I ever get a chance." Nadia bowed her head and left when Mary sighed.
She waited there for a few minutes before the knight who had blocked her way before returned.
"You were not supposed to help a prisoner escape." he frowned. He was there to collect Mary but stopped when he saw Nadia with her.
"She belongs to the duchess. We will be praised for it." The knight shook his head and started walking again, Mary followed her.
