Waking Up From Lies
I was not expecting to pick the wrong man to marry even after I had a chance to redo my life.
In my previous life, I chose to marry James Howard, my then fiance.
But he cheated on me with Verde Sala, a fake heiress, for three years. They even had a child together.
For her sake, he broke my legs so that I would hand over my role as the principal dancer to her.
This time, I chose to marry Elwood Howard, James’s uncle.
I thought that this meant that I had escaped my fate and could fulfill my dreams, but on the day the principal dancer was supposed to be picked, I got into an accident again.
After learning about this, Elwood sent Verde to jail, even if it meant offending all of the powerful people in the city.
I was touched and thought that I had made the right choice in this life.
That lasted for five years until I heard Elwood’s conversation with our son.
“Dad, Verde said that you only married Mom so that you could provide a letter of forgiveness as the victim’s family.
“Since Verde is out, could you divorce Mom? I want Verde to be my mother.”
Upon hearing that, Elwood remembered my trust in him and shook his head. “No. I’ve betrayed your mother by destroying the evidence and giving Verde a new identity to avoid being indicted, so I’m going to make it up to her for the rest of her life.
“She will always be my wife. Don’t ever say such things to your mother and make her sad.”
The pain from before could not compare to the pain in my heart at that moment.
Our marriage was just a scheme to protect Verde?
Elwood only loved Verde? And my son was the same?
If that was the case, I did not want Elwood anymore.
Nor my son.
