Chapter 2

Maybe Gregory found some clues through that bracelet.

He asked for the names of all the maids who had taken care of me for the first time.

Zoey was a maid who grew up with me. We were like sisters. She accompanied me when we went out by invitation.

She and I were both kidnapped, and Zoey was raped and killed herself by hitting the wall.

As I expected, Gregory suspected that my body was Zoey's.

"I know she's a selfish person who doesn't care about ethics. I can't believe the Minister of Revenue have such a daughter!"

Gregory had always hated me. On our wedding night, he lifted my veil. As the red candles flickered, I was filled with joy, thinking that I had married the love of my life.

But to my surprise, Gregory looked distressed.

"Darling, is there anything bothering you?"

My mother said that a wife must learn how to read the room. Besides, my husband, Gregory, was no ordinary man. He was appreciated by the emperor. So, I must be careful around him.

"Rosa, can you allow me to marry Ellen and make her my other wife tomorrow?"

I could tell that he was relieved when he popped the question. It was as if his happiness depended on that.

For no reason, tears streamed down my face. I felt choked, and I couldn't utter a word.

Seeing me weeping helplessly, Gregory simply left the wedding chamber and stayed overnight in the study room alone.

I knew Gregory had a childhood sweetheart named Ellen Sean.

She was his first love, the love of his life.

I, on the contrary, in Gregory's eyes, was just a bad woman who took away the position of his beloved.

So, after the wedding day, he never entered my room again.

It took Gregory quite some effort to find a blood-soaked cloth bag on the roadside outside the capital.

I reached out to touch it, but the head in the cloth bag wasn't mine.

It was Zoey's.

Coroner Linch opened the cloth bag personally. The head had been badly corroded, but the hairpins on the head were still there. I wonder if Gregory could recognize that it was Zoey.

I tried to take Zoey's head back. She was like a big sister to me!

I opened my mouth, wanting to beg Gregory to seek justice for Zoey. But my effort was in vain because Gregory couldn't hear anything.

He quickly confirmed that it was Zoey's body.

He returned home in anger. This was the second time he had entered my room since we got married.

"Where's Rosa Finn?"

My soul trembled when I heard him calling my name. I thought he had completely forgotten my name.

"Sir. Lady Finn hasn't returned."

Gregory clenched his fists and slapped my dressing box filled with pearls and jade.

"She did such a shameful thing and caused someone to die for her, and yet she still has the mood to have fun!"

I was shocked and painful to hear that. I felt like crying, but there was nothing when I stroked my face.

So, he thought I was a despicable person who disregards others for my own benefit.
