"I want you to sign divorce papers!" The man angrily threw a document at the woman.

"Husband, haven't I been a good wife all this time? I've done everything for you," Senna said with disappointment and anger, staring at her husband.

"A good wife? Do you even deserve to say that? Seinna Zhang, you haven't fulfilled your responsibilities properly. What can you offer me now?" Evander Qin laughed.

"It's not my fault. I didn't harm him. You both planned this to ruin my reputation and discard me," Senna yelled. "From the start, you and your mistress plotted to secure a place for that illegitimate child."

"Senna, you still don't see your mistakes and instead blame me and Belinda? Belinda was right; you may look obedient, but you're truly malicious," Evander said coldly. "I don't need a useless wife like you."

Senna's heart ached hearing the words from the man she trusted. "I'll take the divorce papers tomorrow, and you need to leave this house. I'll also withdraw the collaboration with your annoying family."

"Even if you refuse to part ways, everyone will shun you after I announced our divorce at the party," Evander walked away, ignoring Senna's desperate cries.

Senna's phone rang. She checked the message from her parents. She hoped for their support but received only insults.

'You wretched child, if you lose your status this time, we'll disown you. A child who brings disaster shouldn't be in our Zhang family.'

Senna was overwhelmed by the problems. She was alone, and after leaving this house, she'd have nothing.

"If only I could have prevented that incident. If only I hadn't lost it!" Senna lamented her situation.

She sat on the floor, burying her face in her knees.

Creak.

Senna lifted her head. "Husband--"

" it's not Evander, but me." A woman approached her. It was her husband's mistress.

"Senna, you must be devastated by this. I'll give you this syrup to end your troubles."

"You want me to drink poison?"

"Exactly. It's hard for you to live with everything that's happened. It's better if you die. After all, your life is worthless."

"I won't--"

"Hold her," the mistress ordered a servant, who obeyed.

Evander's mistress forced the liquid into Senna's mouth. Pain quickly spread through her body. Senna coughed up blood.

"Goodbye, Senna Zhang!"

Senna's vision faded, filled with hatred. "If only I had a second chance."

The pain became unbearable, and she finally lost her life, filled with regret and bitterness.

Senna didn't expect to really get another chance. Now, she began to change her life, living with a plan for revenge, but her guilt from that event lingered.

***

On their wedding night, Senna began executing her revenge plan. She made an unreasonable demand.

"No obligation to have children! I want that included in this contract." Her voice carried an unwavering seriousness and determination. "And I refuse to be a baby-making machine just because of this stupid agreement!"

Her husband, Evander Qin, paused before responding. "Senna Zhang, what kind of foolish idea is that? Who will continue my family line if you refuse to have children?"

"Giving birth to a child is a duty you cannot refuse!"

Senna's fingers clenched into fists. Of course, she was nothing more than a tool to bear children for this man. It had been the same in her previous life. She sneered openly at him.

Senna calmed herself before presenting a suggestion she had prepared, “You have a mistress you love. Why not have a child with her? Mr. Qin, wouldn’t it be more joyful to have a child with the woman you love rather than with a stranger like me?"

"You think it’s that simple? Stop complaining about duties that are already yours."

Evander Qin left her and walked into the bathroom.

The woman sat frozen in her chair, a sad smile creeping across her lips. “Will it all be the same?”

"If I fail to take this crucial step, all my plans will fall apart. If that child exists, then my fate..." Senna couldn't even bear to think about it. She moved to the cramped sofa, lying down with her thoughts swirling until she finally closed her eyes.

***

"I hate you! I hate parents like you! I... I wish I was never born into this family!" A child's voice screamed, filled with hatred and sorrow, as they ran away.

"Kid, wait! Don't--"

A loud crash was followed by a child's piercing scream.

Senna Zhang's eyes flew open, her back shooting up. She wiped her face with her hands.

The child's screams and the final crash still echoed in her ears. The pain in her heart made her feel suffocated. "That nightmare again?" Senna's voice was barely a whisper, filled with anxiety.

She got up and walked to the bathroom, locking herself in. She turned on the shower, letting the cold water drench her. "How long will this haunt me?"

The screaming child always reminded her of the grave mistake she made. The irritating voices of a man and woman, filled with insults, curses, and piercing, mocking gazes. Senna covered her ears. "Stop it! Can’t you all just stop!" Her voice was drowned out by the running water.

"I will destroy you all and make you pay for my loss." Senna steeled herself every time the dark shadows of her past life surfaced.

A loud knock shattered her thoughts. The cold voice of a man penetrated her ears. "Hey, why are you taking so long? You're not dead in there, are you? I don't want to be blamed if there's news of a wife dying in the bathroom on the first night."

Senna quickly put on a bathrobe and opened the door. The dim light in the room highlighted the handsome, expressionless man. "You see I’m still alive, don’t you?"

She walked past him, intending to return to the sofa, but he grabbed her hand. "Dry your hair. If you get sick, I'll be in trouble."

Senna’s heart pounded at the small gesture of concern. "If this were the old me, I’d misunderstand and think he could be a good husband and love me," she thought. Small gestures could touch an innocent girl who never felt loved by her family.

"I have a private doctor’s number. I can call him if I get sick. There's no need to trouble you, Mr. Qin." She roughly pulled her hand away.

"Suit yourself. Don’t blame me if you get sick." He climbed into bed, and she walked back to the sofa. A blanket suddenly landed on her head.

"Cover yourself with that!"

"I don’t need your kindness." Senna tossed the blanket back at him, refusing to be deceived by his concern.

Evander jumped out of bed, his face cold and dark. "You! Are you doing this to get my attention?"

Senna stood, feeling his oppressive aura. "No. What do I gain from seeking your attention? You already have a mistress you love, and I also—"

"Miss Senna Zhang, there are many rumors about you. You like to flirt with many men. Isn't it natural for me to be suspicious?" Evander said with a belittling tone. "Am I not better than your other lovers?"

Senna was taken aback by his confidence. If she were her past self, she wouldn’t have looked at anyone else and would have seen her husband as perfect, despite repeated hurt. "Mr. Qin, you're too confident. I also have another lover who is better."

"Don’t tell me it’s President Yan, who was involved in a scandal with you. Aren’t you ashamed to be with a married man?" Evander sneered.

"Aren’t you the same as me? Your mistress was someone else’s wife before you took her."

"How dare you!" His hand raised, but Senna stared at him without blinking, an arrogant smile on her lips as if daring him to do it.

    "Good morning, my wife!" Evander greeted her gently.Senna, who had just woken up, eyed him warily. "What’s with you? Don’t smile like that. Whatever you’re planning, I’m not doing it again this morning.""Why would you think that? I’m just greeting my wife. Unless, of course, you’re the one who wants it again?" Evander's lips curved into a mischievous smile."Not a chance. Let’s stop with the nonsense. Just tell me how you plan to get my proposal accepted by Z Corporation," Senna demanded, her tone sharp."It’s still morning. Can’t we have breakfast first? There’s plenty of time to talk about business later." Evander offered her a plate of American breakfast.Senna hesitated but took the plate. "Evander, I’m serious. Stop dodging the question!""My wife, why are you so impatient? Fine, I’ll tell you. The CEO of Z Corporation, Ren Zhou, is attending a party. I’ll get you an invitation and introduce you to him."Senna eyed him suspiciously. "Is that really your best plan? How can I tru

    Evander felt a heavy weight on his shoulders as he watched the press conference, where Mr. Zhang officially announced his resignation and handed over his position to Senna. She had successfully taken control of the company. "If it’s like this, Senna won’t need me anymore. How can I prove myself to her now?" Evander muttered to himself. Meanwhile, Mr. Zhang addressed the media, "After careful consideration, I’ve decided to step back from the business world and fully hand over my position to Senna." A journalist suddenly asked, "Mr. Zhang, is this a form of compensation for Ms. Senna? Are you acknowledging what you’ve done to her?" Senna quickly interrupted, "Please, let’s not discuss that right now!" Mr. Zhang and Senna left the conference room. Although Mr. Zhang wanted to respond, he could only vent his frustration later. "Why did you end it so quickly? Are you afraid people will find out you fabricated the story about me sending hitmen?" "Dad, I was actually helping you

    Her secretary asked Senna, "Ma'am, should I arrange for better security for your meeting with Mr. Zhang? I'm worried you might get hurt again.""No need, it's at a location I choose. Book a restaurant and install hidden cameras. If my father tries anything, we'll broadcast it all," Senna replied confidently."But Ma'am, are you really willing to risk yourself? Why not send someone else?" the secretary asked, concerned."I can't. I have to handle this myself. Don't worry, I'm used to taking his hits and other vile actions!" Senna said with a stoic expression.***The meeting day arrived, and the tension was palpable as Senna and Mr. Zhang faced each other.Mr. Zhang clenched his fists but greeted Senna gently. "How are you? You should have let me send a better doctor."Senna responded with a sneer, "No need for pleasantries. I know you don't truly care about me. Acting nice in front of me won't change anything!""Senna, you!" The Second Master of Zhang held his brother back. "Brother

    "Senna Zhang, you know how worried I am about you, yet you're just playing around?" Evander, rushing in, was taken aback by the sight, his anger flaring."Did I ask you to worry and come to the hospital? Oh, you must have done it for my dad, right? Go ahead, report to him or spread it online," Senna replied indifferently."Senna, don't you understand how much I care about you? You don't need to go this far. What if someone finds out?" Evander said."That's my business. Just leave! I don't want to see a traitor like you!" Senna retorted."I can help you get the company!"Senna smirked dismissively. "Someone who ruined all my plans is now offering help? You must be joking. You were even kicked out of your own company.""Don't underestimate me. If I can take back my company, will you believe me?"Senna looked at Evander skeptically. "What makes you so confident? You said the same thing before, but now your uncle and cousin are running the company. What are you doing about it?"Evander cl

    Evander's sneer widened at Senna's comment. "If I wanted to kill you, it wouldn’t be here. Get out, now!" He exited the car first.Senna hesitated before opening the car door. The night breeze brushed her skin, sending chills down her spine as Evander headed towards a building.Her breath was heavy, torn between relief at the sight of a receptionist and anxiety about Evander's plans in such a place.Evander grasped her hand. "Come on, I've booked a room for us.""Evander, are you sure about staying at this small hotel? We should just head back to the capital," Senna whispered. "Aren't you afraid of ghosts haunting this place?""You watch too many horror movies. Relax, nothing's going to happen. It's better we stay. It's late; you don’t want an accident from driving drowsy, do you?"Senna swallowed hard, worry still clinging. "Fine, but only for one night."Evander smiled, satisfied. "Of course, just one night."They arrived at a room. "Here’s your room!"Senna entered first, followed

    Senna stared at the man with a piercing gaze. "Is it possible that you and Evander..."The man chuckled softly. "Mrs. Senna, it seems you've finally realized."Senna struggled to control her anger. "Mr. Seo, did you also record our conversations and give them to Evander?"The man nodded. "Yes, my godson asked for it. How could I refuse him?"Senna seethed. "So, you both trapped me!"Senna felt a small relief knowing she didn’t rely heavily on Mr. Seo to bring down Evander. No wonder he was so slow to help with that. However, this did little to temper her rage."Mrs. Senna, if you want to destroy your father, use Evander. If you become a good wife and win his love, he will help you get anything you want!""Mr. Seo, that’s pointless. I'm not good at seducing," Senna replied.Mr. Seo grinned. "Really? Didn’t you seduce Yan to the point he couldn't leave you? You could do the same with Evander. It would be even better if you gave the Qin family a grandchild."Senna glared at Mr. Seo with
