Summary
Laurencia Aztane had it all: unparalleled wealth, breathtaking beauty, and a thriving career. Yet, her life was a gilded cage of misery, spent tirelessly protecting her ‘frail’ twin sister, Erusia, her only family. But the cruelest betrayal awaited her. Laurencia discovered Erusia’s debilitating illness was a meticulously crafted lie, a sinister plot orchestrated with her own fiancé to seize every last one of Laurencia’s assets. Just as despair threatened to consume her, fate intervened. She was sent back eleven years, to the eve of her engagement.
Now, the naive affection she once held for her sister and fiancé has curdled into a burning desire for retribution. ‘Listen closely, Sister,’ she vows, ‘the good sister you knew is gone.’ With a second chance, Laurencia is determined to rewrite her destiny. Her first move? Forging an unbreakable alliance with the one man even her past tormentors wouldn’t dare cross: the formidable Grand Duke Verdian. ‘I will settle the debts unfairly taken from you,’ she proposes, ‘in exchange, become my husband.’ Will this strategic marriage be her ultimate revenge, or the start of an even more complicated future?
