Betrayed by Blood: My Second Life as a Queen novel Chapter 1

"Willow! Is it really that hard to let Tessa have the wedding? Will you only be satisfied when you drive her to the grave?"

Willow, dressed in her wedding gown, looked up in a daze. A second later, Leo slapped her hard across the face.

The brutal force jerked her head to the side, leaving a sharp, deafening ring in her ears.

The stinging pain snapped her back to reality. Her entire body began to tremble at the agonizingly familiar scene, a thick layer of tears blurring her vision.

Was she... reborn?

Reborn five years ago, on the day of the wedding she loathed so deeply?

She had just put on her gown when her three brothers cornered her in the bridal suite.

Because Tessa had feelings for Willow's fiancé, Elias Landon, her own brothers were forcing her to hand over the wedding. As for Asher and her other brother who hadn't arrived yet, they would undoubtedly side with Tessa without a second thought.

In her past life, when Willow refused to surrender her place at the altar, they violently stripped her out of the dress.

Ignoring her desperate pleas, they forced a spiked glass of milk down her throat.

Then, they dumped her into a stranger's bed and staged a public scandal in front of all the guests, completely destroying her reputation!

When Elias found out, he didn't even ask for an explanation. He used the opportunity to instantly break their engagement and married Tessa on the spot.

While Willow struggled frantically against the drug on a stranger's bed, Tessa walked down the aisle with Elias, wearing the custom wedding gown Willow had spent months designing.

From beginning to end, Elias never even looked at Willow once.

Later, when Tessa wanted her musical compositions, she publicly accused Willow of plagiarism. Her brothers testified for Tessa without hesitation, ruthlessly turning Willow into a stepping stone for Tessa's meteoric rise to fame.

Willow had spent three exhausting years developing a cure for Asher's illness, but her brothers simply handed the patent over to Tessa.

The list of betrayals was endless.
