“The Perez family is weak, but Regina is of noble status. So, let me marry Charles!”
Opening my eyes, I saw my sister, Gloria Laurent, kneeling before our parents and speaking earnestly, “The Lowell family is prestigious. Therefore, Regina is the most suitable match for
them.”
At her words, I realized that Gloria had also been reborn.
Because in the previous life, she was also the one who knelt before our parents first.
But at that time, her eyes brimmed with tears as she bitterly accused our parents, “Why can Regina marry into the prestigious Lowell family and become the much–admired mistress of the Lowell Manor, while I have to marry into the poor and fallen Perez family? Father, Mother, you are
so partial!”
She cried and made a fuss, even threatening to hang herself, saying she would rather die than marry into the Perez family and be laughed at by the other noble ladies.
Gloria knew our parents agreed to marry us into those families without specifying which
daughter.
Our parents, based on the earlier betrothal to the Lowell family and the fact that I was born first, chose me to marry into the Lowell family out of fairness.
But unexpectedly, Gloria was so desperate in the previous life that our parents, without even asking my opinion, forced me to marry into the poor and fallen Perez family.
“Gloria, are you sure?”
My mother, upon hearing her words, still seemed a bit incredulous.
After all, just a moment ago, she was crying and refusing to marry Charles Perez.
“Yes! Regina was betrothed to the Lowell family first, and I was betrothed to the Perez family
later. This is fair.”
Mother wiped away her tears and said with relief, “Gloria, you’ve grown up and become
sensible.”
But I saw a smile slowly forming on Gloria’s face.
Of course, I knew why she was willing to marry someone she didn’t want this time.
In the previous life, she married Lambert Lowell as wished.
She was full of glory.
But after marriage, she found out that Lambert had a cousin, Esther Hill, who he had secretly
betrothed to.
However, the Lowell family didn’t leak a single word about it.
After all, for a noble family, reputation was the most important.
If it was known that Lambert had a concubine before getting married, many noble ladies
would have to consider whether this marriage was worth the risk.

On the wedding night, although Lambert stayed in Gloria’s room, he secretly went to Esther in the middle of the night.

On the wedding night, although Lambert stayed in Gloria’s room, he secretly went to Esther in
the middle of the night.
A month later, he made Esther his concubine.
At first, Gloria didn’t take it seriously. She thought that a distant cousin without a powerful family background couldn’t cause any trouble.
But she was wrong.
Esther was no pushover.
Having been raised in the Lowell family for many years, Esther had won the favor of everyone
in the household, Lambert included.
Gloria turned jealous, slandering, and being abusive towards Esther, driving Lambert to
complete exasperation.
Later, she listened to our mother and insisted on taking charge of the household, only to find
that no one listened to her.
Desperately, Gloria wanted to have a child to secure her position.
She drugged Lambert, which somehow helped Esther get pregnant first.
In a fit of rage, Gloria tried to abort Esther’s baby.
Before Esther could take the medicine, Lambert found out and hit Gloria, confining her to the
courtyard.
Gloria was not willing to accept this.
Gloria caused chaos in the Lowell family, even nearly driving Lambert’s mother to death. She also gained a reputation as a bad wife and was ridiculed for not having slept with her husband after many years of marriage.
Later, we met at a banquet.
At that time, Charles had become the prime minister with absolute power, doting on me alone. Even in the capital, it was known to all that he loved me very much.
I was surrounded by adoration, while Gloria was in a pitiful state.
Thus, she looked at me with extreme hatred.
She was the center of attention from childhood but ended up disliked despite her choosing a
better family.
Moreover, Charles was the one she was supposed to marry!
Why?
Hatred clouded her mind, so she exploited my visit to our parents to deeply stab me off
guard.
But in this new life, she wouldn’t really think that marrying Charles meant exclusive love,
would she?
Charles was a madman.
I knew it on our wedding night.
Before I realized what happened, my hands and feet were chained with cold iron.

Before I realized what happened, my hands and feet were chained with cold iron.
Charles showed up, covered my eyes, and whispered in my ear, “Regina, you belong to me for the rest of your life. Die with me, will you?”
I struggled a little, causing the chains to jingle.
His cold hand stroked my face, his words filled with excitement. “I like it when you struggle.” Then he leaned down, pecking my neck.
Later, the jingling of the chains echoed throughout the night.
My whole body was covered in bruises from his bites.
He restricted my freedom, imprisoning me in the courtyard and torturing me every night.
I wanted to escape, but I couldn’t.
But now, I sincerely thanked Gloria.
Wasn’t it wonderful not to have to serve a man?
