The Evil Lady will change.

Chapter 1

" Violet Elias, eldest daughter of Duke Elias, as for the charges of attempted murdering and intensionally harming a noble, you will be striped off your title and given a lifetime imprisonment to repent on your actions." the Emperor's voice boomed across the hallway.

A tear escapes me as I wonder. Why? All I wanted..... was love. Why? Why, did it end like this? My hatred and regret poured out of me in form of tears. My Father, my Fiance, my everything....was stolen away from me.

In this sickening court, filled with sickening people, I pledge on the Ohia,.....if ever given another chance in another lifetime, I'd never forgive any of you. Never.

*********

Everything starts replaying in my mind. My hopeless Father with his concubine, my obsessed Mother waiting, Mother's death, my only hope falling in love with my step sister, my whole life being stolen by Mary. And.........what's this?

"Bok ju, hurry up. DIVINE's new album is about to be released!"

"God, we've been waiting for this day like forever. Let's go, come on."

Two girls start yelling on top of their lungs. Huh? It's......me? And suddenly floods of memories start to hit my brain out of nowhere. What? It hurts. Ahhh.....

I open my eyes impulsively. Huh? Where am I? I look around, panicked. Fuck. Isn't this Father's estate? Wait a minute. Did I just say......fuck? What? Where did I learn that word? The images of the two girls start lingering in my mind. Ah......my past life? Is it?

" My Lady, you've finally woken up? " I hear a familiar toneless voice behind me. What? Margot? My eyes instinctively fill with tears hearing that tough, toneless voice. How come Margot.....? Didn't she die saving me?

"Margot!" I jump off the bed, so excited that I unknowingly hug her tightly. Hell. Why am I crying? Seriously. Am I this happy to see her? My one and only faithful maid?

" My Lady, what in the world are you doing? Are you by any chance feeling sad about the new Duchess and " her"?" Margot seriously looks so confused. But what hits me the most is the mention of " her"...... Isn't that what the people in the Mansion used to call Mary behind her back?

God. Did I come back in time? What? Seriously? But....how? How in the world? I shiver, panicked. Did I just dream about the next three years of my life? But if it was dream why did I recollect memories of my past life?? Or......is it..... another chance for me?

" My Lady, you need to get ready for the academy. Hurry up." Margot said.

"We're already ten minutes late."

I look at Margot. If I'm really given another chance, this time I'll make sure not to make a single regret. And protect the ones precious to me. I'll not meddle with any of my past regrets. Never.
