Marrying The Villainess Heiress

After her mother passed away when she was eighteen, her father went through a major transformation. He abandoned his previously kind and responsible manners, falling into a life of alcoholism and reckless gambling. Unfortunately, this led to him losing his entire fortune. At the age of twenty-two, her father made a decision that would have a lasting impact on her life. In an effort to settle his growing debts, he arranged an engagement between her and one of his former business partners. A middle-aged man who is wealthy and has five children already. He starts to unveil his true nature after she marries him. She endured the hardships of her own husband's mental and physical abuse as a young wife while living in a life that was constantly under scrutiny. He cruelly denied her the opportunity to have children, insisting that she maintain her youth and appearance indefinitely. She lived a life filled with regret until one of her children poisoned her. Miraculously, she awoke a week before her father was about to sell her to Roger Smith.
