Semua Bab She Breaks When I Die on Cue: Bab 1 - Bab 9

When I didn't argue, something unreadable flickered in Tabitha's eyes. She soon looked away and said sharply, "Since you don't want this child, then we will never have children between us again."I said nothing and turned to walk away.Early the next morning, before I was even fully awake, Jordan's attendant was already shouting outside my door. "We always take blood at this time. What's different about today? Can you afford the consequences if Mr. Corke doesn't get his tonic on time?"I called my attendant over to stop him from getting into a fight and rolled up my sleeve in a practiced motion. "Go ahead."My attendant took out the knife and bowl, but his eyes instantly reddened when he saw the dense web of scars on my arm.He couldn't bring himself to do it, so I did it myself. If Jordan didn't get my blood that day, he would definitely throw another tantrum.I sliced myself without hesitation. As the blood slowly dripped into the bowl, I was pulled back to the very first time

I kneeled in Jordan's courtyard for a full day and night. When the sun finally rose and I staggered to my feet to leave, I saw the Minister of Justice rush over in a hurry.My gaze was immediately drawn to the Fordham family's written order in his hand, and I followed him. I arrived just in time to hear Jordan sobbing so hard that his voice broke."I… I never imagined the one who framed my father would be Hugo's father! If not for the suffering faced in prison, Father would never have caught the plague and died there… Tabby, you have to stand up for me. You have to stand up for my father. He was your teacher!"Tabitha looked heartbroken as she gently wiped away his tears and tried to soothe him. "Don't worry. I'll make sure of it. Father already knows the truth. He's ordered the Fordham family's estate to be confiscated and the entire clan thrown into prison. I'll get justice for you and your father."It made my mind go blank.Father and Mother had treated me well since I was a ch

Tabitha clutched my hand tightly, wanting to haul me up. "Get up, Hugo. Get up and quarrel with me. Throw a tantrum at me; use your dirty tricks on me… Aren't those what you're best at? You threw away the things I gave you, and you provoked Anthony… Get up and keep stirring up trouble, why don't you?"Her voice grew louder as she spoke, almost reaching a roar at the very end. But when she saw the jagged scars dotting both my arms and the new ones that had just scabbed over, she froze.She was the reason those scars existed. She slowly loosened her grip on me, guilt flooding her eyes.I watched her silently, feeling calmer than I'd ever been. The system had told me what would happen next. I was Tabitha's prince consort, after all. She would be sad for some time, and Jordan would stay by her side to help her get through this.They would go through a rough patch in the middle. Tabitha would become infatuated with a male courtesan who looked a lot like me. She and Jordan would then hav

Jordan said, "That's easy. We'll just find those thugs and kill them."He used his points in exchange for those people's locations from the system. Once again, he hired assassins to do the job.For the next few days, he waited for good news, showering Tabitha and Anthony with more attention in the meantime.On this day, he finally saw results. Anthony came to him in person. "Mother wants to see you."Jordan was overjoyed and followed Anthony at once. He chattered nonstop all the way there, right up until they entered the main hall. He saw several men kneeling in the courtyard.The smile on his face froze. Even the system in his head kept blaring warnings that the plot was about to go off-track.Tabitha rose from the seat of honor when she saw the look on his face. "I'll give you one chance. Confess on your own."Jordan's hands, hidden in his sleeves, clenched tighter and tighter. But when he remembered that these men had never actually seen him before, he calmed down a little.
