Summary
In a life defined by heartbreak, I, the overlooked wife of Terio Alte, watched as my childhood friend’s heart belonged solely to my sister, Melissa. My existence was a shadow, until the day Marquis Ancy Betelgius shattered my family, claiming Melissa’s life along with it. Drowning in Terio’s bitter accusations and the weight of an unbearable fate, I chose to end it all.
But death was not the end. I awoke seven years in the past, granted a cruel second chance. This time, I made a different choice: to marry Ancy Betelgius myself, stepping into the very role Melissa once held. ‘There’s no hope,’ I resigned, ‘If death is my destiny, I’ll embrace a certain tragedy.’ Yet, the man I chose for my demise began to treat me with an unsettling tenderness. Is this a new deception, or a twist of fate I never anticipated? I can only pray this ‘mask of affection’ endures, until the day I finally claim my own end. Will her calculated sacrifice lead to a different end, or a deeper tragedy? Read chapter 1 now.
