“Ah……”
In the dimly lit prison cell, a woman dressed in a light blue gown was battered and bloody.
The woman painfully lifted her hands to cover her bleeding face, looking at the tall and straight man standing outside the cell with sadness and despair.
He, Henry Black.
The Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Yan, the perfect match for the Carter family.
He was also Chloe Carters first love, her guiding light.
She had gambled her lifelong happiness, marrying into the Duke of Southlands family, using her medical skills to weaken her husband, Max Black, helping the Carter family and the Crown Prince to completely defeat the powerful Duke of Southlands family.
She thought that when the Emperor ordered the execution of the Black family, it would be the day she returned to the Carter family.
But she was wrong!
Her father never looked at her, and the guiding light she longed for had left her battered and broken.
It was at this moment that Chloe finally awoke to the reality that she was just a pawn for the Carter family and the Crown Prince.
But she was unwilling.
She was unwilling!
Chloe knelt down, step by step, to the prison door, reached out and grabbed the cage, and screamed in agony, “Henry Black, I was so foolish, how could I have been so naive to believe you would still want me…”
The man standing outside the cell looked at her with disgust, and as she approached, he took a step back, speaking coldly, “Chloe, if you must blame someone, blame your bad luck.”
“Born as the legitimate daughter of the Carter family, yet due to a series of unfortunate events, you swapped lives with Rachel Carter. She took your place as the legitimate miss of the Carter family, while you took her place, becoming the daughter of a widow from Zhanan Village.”
“What does it matter if you were born into nobility? You lived in poverty, lowly, and yet you still dared to dream of being taken back into the Carter family, of swapping identities with Rachel to become my fiancée. Chloe, you are truly pitiful.”
“In my heart, you are not worthy of me. Rachel, though born to a peasant, has a refinement that you could never even compare to a single toe of hers. If it werent for your medical skills, your parents wouldnt have even taken you back into the Carter family.”
“You are nothing but a burden in the Carter family.”
—A burden!
All of Chloes efforts were in vain; she was the shame of the Carter family.
Now that the pawn was useless, they wished nothing more than for her to die.
Chloe laughed bitterly, and tears of blood streamed down her face due to the overwhelming sadness: “Hahaha… Hahaha… So all along, the loving mother, the righteous father, the benevolent brother, were nothing but (inducements), I was the bait, helping you royals eliminate the century-old loyal Black family army. Shameless, a group of shameless people.”
The Carter family was shameless.
The Crown Prince was shameless.
The royal family was shameless.
She was even more shameless!
“Hahaha…” Her laughter was deafening, her face slightly distorted with rage.
At that moment, a graceful figure entered from outside. When she saw Chloes battered face, she was so frightened that she screamed: “Ah…”
Henry Black immediately turned around, pulling the woman into his arms, and raised his other hand, using his wide sleeve to shield Rachel Carter from the sight, speaking softly: “Rachel, what are you doing here?”
“She, she… Could it be my second sister?”
“She is nothing but a lowly person, not worthy of being Rachels sister. Guards, take that woman and make her into a human pig, soak her in a wine vat. She lured the Black family into rebellion, her crimes are heinous, she is not worthy of being human.”
With that, Chloe was pinned down onto a board.
Screams of agony echoed from the cell, but soon, the sounds ceased.
She weakly turned her head to catch any sound from outside, her eyes and mouth empty.
Henry Black came to see her one more time, telling her: “When you were twelve years old, it wasnt me who saved you from the bandits, it was your husband Max Black. Chloe, even though you married into the Duke of Southlands family, you never really enjoyed any happiness. It seems you are fated to be lowly, a person without fortune. I hope in your next life, you are born into a good family and never meet me again.”
Chloe was in so much pain that death seemed like a luxury.
Life was worse than death, dark and hopeless.
All she knew was that Rachel Carter would come to her every day, flaunting her perfect life.
Did it hurt? Yes, it hurt.
But when the pain went to the bone, it became numb.
Later, Rachel Carter stopped coming.
The sound of troops marching into the city could be heard outside.
The next time Chloe heard Rachel Carters voice, it was her pleading for mercy, screaming in agony.
Her husband Max Black had arrived.
Though she couldnt see, she could feel it, Max Black had taken revenge on Rachel Carter in the same way.
Then, holding her body, he said, “My dear, I have come to avenge you.”
“Dear” was what she was called in the Carter family.
Chloe lay in his arms, her face, which had been tortured beyond recognition, slowly forming a faint smile.
She couldnt see that the man holding her had also lost his legs, but he had ultimately won the battle, yet it was too late for her!
As she breathed her last, Max Black said to her, “In your next life, dont be a Carter girl, a Black wife, just be yourself!”
Yes, she would be herself!
